• Visual C# Save Combobox items to file (not .txt)

  I have a program which has 46 diffrent combo boxes. The items in these boxes change according to what the user selects (ie Box35 items changes according to what item is selected in box 30). What I would like is for the user to be able to set all the combo box items the way they want, click save, and the program save them to a file (pref not a text file, XML maybe ). I can sort of conceptualize the saving of each "item" of every combo box and writing it to a text file, but I would much rather save it to a custom file or something else (ie a file with my programs unique file extension). I would also eventualy need to be able to popul ...Show All

• .NET Development How to perform bitwise operation in DataTable.Select(string) ?

  I tried "(status & 16) >0 " and it reported Exception!!! This,however, works fine in SQL server query. I cannot find any good resource about bitwise operation in DataTable. I'm very new to this. Experienced people please tell me!!! On top of my head, you could try status % 16 > 0 and status > 0 It should give you the same "effect", because if will in essence give you the 4 least significant bits. I don't think we support binary operators on DataTable. The full supported syntax is available at DataColumn.Expression --VV [MS] vascov@microsoft.com ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbie: VB 2005 Express & Form Inheritance

  Beg pardon, but I'm 5 days into a long journey to learn .NET.  ;-)  I downloaded VB 2005 and bought a few books on VS 2003 to get started. On a chapter concerning form inheritance, and on the Help documentation of VB.NET Express, it looks like I ought to be able to inherit a form by clicking Project, Add Inherited Form.  From reading this forum, it looks like in the Express edition, that menu navigation may have been removed from Beta 2 (which I'm using). Okay, then, it seems like there is another way to do the same thing, but I'm hung up on the actual code changes that lets me inherit one form into another. In my project, I c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Keybord Shortcuts - Big XP Bug

  There is a major bug in Win XP Explorer.  WIth a folder highlighted on the left pane [folder list] try Alt-F, to pull down the File Menu or Alt-E to pull down the Edit Menu.  The pull-down appears for a fraction of a second and the the highlighted folder is moved down the list and the pull-down disappears.  This makes XP a real pain.  I often used use Alt-F R to get file properties or Alt-F W to make a new folder.  Now I must tab over to the folders listed in the right pane for this key combo to work  This did not happen with any O/S before XP.   I know it's like a year since this was fir ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I set ListBox.HorizontalExtent to the good value.

  Hi ! I have an owner-drawn listbox on my form. The important properties of the listbox are: DrawMode = OwnerDrawFixed HorizontalScrollbar = True As I see in MSDN, I have to set the HorizontalExtent property to the width of the longest line in the DrawItem event. It is good, if there isn't vertical scrollbar. My DrawItem looks like this: If (e.State And DrawItemState.Selected) = DrawItemState.Selected Then e.DrawFocusRectangle() Else e.DrawBackground() End If e.Graphics.DrawString(Me.myListbox.Items(e.Index), e.Font, Brushes.Red, New RectangleF(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y, e.Bounds.Width, e.Bounds.Height)) Dim i As Integer i = ...Show All

• Visual Studio Build path

  How can I set the buildpath in GAT I have made a solution and i want the build path to be set to inetpub\wwwroot, is this possible What do you mean by setting this in GAT You have a project template where you want to set the build output If that's the case, you can do that through the .vstemplate itself. But as you're mentionting wwwroot, I assume this is a web application. In that case, the build path is wherever the web app was loaded from. You should try the VS Extensibility forum, as it's more of a DTE question. ...Show All

• Visual Basic reading a string from the right until...

  I thought this would be simple to figure out (and perhaps it is), but I’m not finding it. I want to extract the last part of a string and save it in a variable. The string lengths are never the same, but there are consistent separators, as below: home\work\school\neighbor I need to save “neighbor” in a variable. My idea was to simply read the string from right to left and stop at the first instance of “\” but I am having trouble finding the proper way to do this. BTW, I’m using VB 2005 express Sure that can be done.... There are numerous ways of doing this. Heres a function which ...Show All
