• .NET Development Pressing enter key causes my web page to load again.

  Hi , I am facing a strange problem with the ASP.NET (with VB.NET) user controls. My user control contains only one text box web control and some other controls (but one and only one text box).  I put this user control on a webform (web form also does'nt have any text box control) and request that web form through "http:// " request. Now, when i put some text in the text box and press the "Enter" key (while the cursor is still in the textbox ) the webform reloads i.e. Page_load event is called again for the webform and subsequentally for my user control. This initializes my user control to blank sta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Minimize to system tray

  Hi, Im looking for a solution to minimize my form in the system tray and restore it from the tray. I found alot of sites that use the 'DrawAnimatedRects' function that windows use to minimize and maximize window-forms. All this codes were in c++ or vb6. Is there anyway to use this function in vb2005 Here is an Example that i found at http://www.activevb.de/tipps/vb6tipps/tipp0182.html Option Explicit Private Declare Function SetRect Lib "User32" (lpRect _ As RECT, ByVal X1 As Long , ByVal Y1 As Long , ByVal _ X2 As Long , ByVal Y2 As Long ) As Long Private Declare Function DrawAnimatedRect ...Show All

• Windows Forms Formatted AutoNumber Fields

  I have an access database, which has an autonumber field in a specific table. This field is formatted as follows, and is also the primary key for the table "CS-"00000 Thus, each time a new record is added to the table, access assigns the new record with the value (ie, CS-00001, CS-00002 etc) When connecting this database to a project in VB 2005, the datagridview or textboxes only display the numeric value (1,2 etc) Is there anyway that anyone knows how i might get the program to display the full CS-0001 etc for each record, rather than just the number Is there specfic formatting i can apply to the datatable inside m ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual Studio 2005 - MFC compile error

  Hi! I just installed MS Visual Studio 2005 and wanted to build a new MFC application. I used the project wizard to create a new "framework" for my app. But already at this point the compiler gives errors like "c:\programme\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\atlmfc\include\afxv_w32.h(228) : error C2065: 'DWORD_PTR' : undeclared identifier". My question now is how I can fix this problem, so that I can compile the Code which the project wizard gave me PS: The problem is not because it didn't include windows.h. Your include directories may be pointing to an older incompatible PSDK ...Show All

• Visual Studio Do I really need subreport links for independent subreports?

  Hi all, I have been Google-ing and searching for an answer to this simple question, but to avail. I have created a complex report which contains 4 subreports. These subreports run independently from the main report (ie. the main report and each subreport has it's own SQL Statement which run independantly from each other) and there are no subreport links because there is no need - the subreports do not reference any fields etc from the main report. My question is: In this sort of situation, do I need subreport links It is possible for me to link all the subreports to the main report, but is this really necessary Will it speed up ...Show All

• Visual C++ newb problem processing arrays with functions

  Hi, I've been working on a class project to read in an array of structs, process them, then output to a file.  The project reads in the array correctly however, it's not being processed correctly, the output is all zeros.  It's prolly something easy but i just can't see what i did wrong.  Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Visual C++ Express and DirectX

  I am trying to learn how to program with DirectX, but all of the sample projects refuse to run under Visual C++ Express 2005. I understand that there are limitations to VC++ Express that prevent the use of MFC and ATL (naturally, I don't know what they are), and I think I am supposed to be using something else called CLR. I was wondering...are there any tutorials yet specifically designed for doing DirectX Programming with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition I have not done much with the C++ Express products, but from my understanding to use it with directX you need to make sure that you have the platform S ...Show All
