• Visual Basic Blair Allen Stark

  Here is the problem I am working on. It asks me to use the method CalculateCharges, but I don't fully understand how to do this or how it works. I would be grateful for any input. Lab Problem III A parking garage charges a $2.00 minimum fee to park for up to three hours. The garage charges an additional $0.50 per hour for each hour or part thereof in excess of three hours. The maximum charge for any given 24-hour period is $10.00. Assume that no car parks for longer than 24 hours at a time. Develop a console program that calculate and displays the charges for each customer who parked a car in this garage yesterday. ...Show All

• .NET Development File or assembly name xxx.dll, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

  I found loads of similar issues when searching for a solution, but none of their solutions seemed to fix the problem I am having.  My project works for a while, then will produce the following error.  The errors have begun every time on a sunday (meaing it works fine monday through saturday).  I am not sure if the day is just coincidence or if there is some significance to that day.  Suggestions for this I have seen include giving write permissions to the windows temp directory, and some issues with xml.serializable but any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can MS cut down the size of install img/ISO?

  I don't know why you guys make such big packages. I don't think everyone need the msdn/sqlserver and other component Can you provide some small packages for downloading the iso contains everything, as is logical for a CD image. If you use the online installer you can mix and match to your heart's desire. Or you can order a CD shipped to you if your connection speed is the problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) browser app questions

  I have a few questions about browser apps. I guess you can't use NavigationWindow in browser applications as this causes runtime failures, can you advise on the best way of hiding the browser UI Also a ny reason why the following. < Style x:Key = " MouseEnter " TargetType = " {x:Type Image} " > < Style.Triggers > < Trigger Property = " IsMouseOver " Value = " True " > < Setter Property = " Image.BitmapEffect " > < Setter.Value > < OuterGlowBitmapEffect GlowColor ...Show All

• SQL Server subscriber alternate snapshot location and Web sync - 2005 express

  Hi, If the snapshot location on a subscriber is changed to alternate location (like a local path), rather than the default "Download from Web Server", does that have any effect I have tried changing it, but the subscriber still appears to get the snapshot from the web server - does something have to be re-initialized after changing the subscription properties Thanks Hi Is there an answer on this We too would like to distribute the initial snapshot via CD. Thanks Bruce ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Form generic form

  Hi, does anybody knows of any issue/problem/drawback on using a generic Windows Form for databinding I'm thinking about defining a generic form to handle common data operations in a new application that I'm working on, using a generic type to describe my data source entities. I've just found a trivial problem with the designer, that doesn't sincronize the autogenerated partial class code signature with my generic one. It's a trivial problem because you just need to synchronize your partial class with the one autogenerated by the designer and then everything seems to work fine. I didn't found any other kind of problem, at this moment. Do you ...Show All

• Visual Basic COM visible?

  I am trying make classes in a VB.NET app available to other programs. I set Project Properties, Make assembly COM-Visible checked. The classes are have COM Class and COM Visible both set to true; but, no other programs are able to find it. What am I doing wrong once you have made your class and project COM visible, compile it into a dll...then you should be able to make a reference to the project....Note that this is not necessary if you are working in a .Net project and referenceing a .Net project(no COM visibility needed) ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 RTM Weird Editor Behavior

  I'm using the VB Editor in VS 2005 RTM version and every so often it starts misbehaving and I have to close all editor windows to get working properly again. What happens is that as soon as I type a single letter at the beginning of a line it immediately appends open and close parens. So for example if I want to type an If statement, as soon as I type 'i' it changes it to i(). If I backspace to delete the parens it puts them back in. Zisha, I moved your thread to the VB IDE forums.  They should be able to assist you better here. Thanks, Dylan ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I use "Click Once" & "Windows Installer(.msi)" both in Visual Studio 2005, and what steps must I follow?

  I want to use "Windows Installer" for user installation from a web site, and then I want to use "Click Once" for updates for the application. Could you help me what steps can I follow There is not model where a purely MSI installed applications can get updates using Clickonce. You could use a MSI package to required install components on the client machine and finally as a custom action install a ClickOnce Application that can then be updated using ClickOnce. Alternatively you can have an MSI packeage as a custom bootstrapper package to be run before your ClickOnce application is installed. Either way the final application ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Warmup before webtest

  How can I do a warmup before I run a web test. I want to do this so that I can view the response time for each requested page. A load test only displays the avarage responsetime of all pages. Thanks When you say each requested page, do you mean that if five iterations of a test are run, you want to see the response time for each of the 5 iterations instead of seeing the average for the 5 iterations   If this is what you want, we do provide a way to collect data for each individual request and store the info in the load test repository.  I can give more information on this if you are interested. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro runtime output is misplaced

  I have never seen it anywhere before. When I use a command "hello world" issued MANUALLY at the command wiindow I find the output string in the right place, I think you call it VFP output panel: it is white and vast. When I use a similar command inside of a user defined procedure which I call from inside my form (I use such commands for debugging) the output appears on the FACE of the form. I cannot even see all the lines since I covered the form generously with pageframe and other controls. Where is the option switch that determines where the output should go Thanks. Alex, It always prints in active window. From command line too ...Show All
