• Visual Basic Loading and showing a form in a Panel control

  Is it possible to load and display a form inside a panel control using Visual Basic 2005 and if so what code do I need to handle this. Regards Dipendra Actually, I tried it and it does work nicely - the key element when I tried it previously (and missed) was the .TopLevel property... . What you could do, is set the borderstyle (of the form) to None and see how that goes. Even so, logically, UserControls would probably be better, but it's good to know that the above works. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Trust Warning

  I had already posted this in my Trust Load Customization post. I've tried so many things my head is spinning. I need more help and wasn't sure exactly where to post this follow up in my original post. I'm getting a warning that says "The assembly must be granted full trust before the solution will run. For more information see Help." It seems that the trust issue relates to the spreadsheet and not to my vb.net code (I think). The application runs in debug mode from within VS. It also runs if I run the Excel file that lives in the Debug folder. Since I've barely started it, I haven't tried to make a deployable application. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Service won't start

  I've been completely unsuccessful so far in getting the SSIS service to start under normal circumstances. I've got the SQL 2005 RTM DVD and a clean, brand-new installation of Windows 2000 Server (Service Pack 4). All system requirements have been met according to the SQL installer. I choose to install just the Database Engine, SSIS and the Workstation components, all other installation options are defaults except Services, which are set to use a Domain User account. The install completes without problems and the SQL Server & SS Agent services start suceessfully, but the SSIS service refuses to start (timeout). If I chang ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom menu items serialization ...

  Hy! I have build in VB .NET a custom menu which displays icons to each menu item. The StyleMainMenu inherits MainMenu and StyleMenuItem inherits MenuItem. For StyleMainMenu I have a toolboxbitmap and I can choose to insert directly from toolbar a style menu to the form. But, at design time, when I add menu items, they are made as "new MenuItem", not as "new StyleMenuItem". Question: how can I make that, by design time, the menu items to be as StyleMenuItem Thanks.   Insert this into StyleMainMenu: [Editor(typeof(StyleMenuItemCollectionEditor), typeof(UIEditor))] public new Menu ...Show All

• Visual C++ _findfirst() prototype changes

  I recently noticed a difference in the function _findfirst() From msdn we have: VC6: long _findfirst( char * filespec , struct _finddata_t * fileinfo ); VC2005: intptr_t _findfirst(    const char * filespec ,    struct _finddata_t * fileinfo ); Since I need to build code to support multiple versions of VC++ I need some way to distinguish which version to use. Otherwise I end up getting type problems which results in either warnings or errors. Should I filter for compiler version in preprocessing or is there another method Thanks in advance.
