• Visual Studio Express Editions Repainting of graphics in VB 2005 Express Ed.

  How do I invoke a paint event to show a refresh of a XY-graph in a PictureBox The graph should show the result of the recalculation of one hundred X-Y points (stored in an array), after the input data for the calcs are changed. Input is done with user control based on Horizontal Scrollbar. At present the graph is only made once after loading with default data. "Dim e as New PaintEventArgs(graphics, clipRect)" does not work because "Dim graphics as Graphics" gives empty graphics object. First, I would suggest that you not use a picturebox as a canvas to draw a graph. Especially, one ...Show All

• Visual C# Object Type Members in Reflection

  I am accessing a webservices from multiple webservers. Even though the webservices are identical, the wsdl is downloaded during runtime, the proxy class is generated and compiled programmatically. Then I use reflection to generate an Instance of a complex data type that the webservice provides. The a method is invoked an a complex data type is return of type object. However, if I call object.getType() it return the proper complex data type. I would like to access the member variable inthe complex data type. How would I do that ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting data from a merge join from one data flow to another

  Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to point data that underwent the "merge join" transformation (in one data flow) to the following data flow I don't want to recreate all that merging, sorting and calling the same sources again in the following data flow if the data that I am using exists in the previous data flow. The merged data is simply too big to export to an excel file, so does anyone have any ideas Thanks! What format can the "Raw Files" be in (excel, word, notepad, etc) or is it a .raw extension I'm not quite sure how to go about creating a file to use this type..... ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP Headers

  Hi, In classic web services I could define services like this: [ WebMethod ] [ SoapHeader ( "SessionHeader" , Direction = SoapHeaderDirection .Out)] public bool Logon( string user, string password) To achieve the same thing (including the SOAP header) with WCF, it would appear that I have to do this: [OperationContract] LogonResponse Logon(LogonRequest request); As such I have to define LogonResponse and LogonRequest myself, which is easy but a little tedious. It also imposes on the way the service is used at the client. Similarly, I used to be able to do this: [ WebMethod ] [ SoapHeader ( "SessionHea ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Textbox Bug

  I don't know if the textbox was changed to work like this now, or if it is a bug. Up until the Feb CTP the .Drop / .PreviewDrop events of the textbox always fired, no matter what you dropped inside of it. (The data didn't show, but the event fired) Now, when dragging data, I have to use the .DragEnter event and set e.Data.SetData("") to something before the .Drop method will work. Is it suppose to work this way now Thank you Jaco The PreviewDrop event works for the MayCTP. It worked for a simple WPF project. ...Show All
