• Visual Basic code for toolstrip copy button

  I am a newbie having fun with Visual Basic Express 2005. I am creating a dedicated browser using the WebBrowser control. I have added a toolstrip and created basic buttons (back, forward, refresh, home, print) that work but am at a loss how to get the copy button to work. I realize it will probably require an “if … else” method to ensure that some text has been selected prior to putting it on the clipboard. I have found several resources on copying from a textbox but the text will be copied from a webpage in the webbrowser. Any guidance to help me along in creating the required code to get the copy button to work will be appreciated. ...Show All

• .NET Development Data drops when reserializing XSD.exe-generated classes using 2.0 framework.

  I gen my XSD /classes with no reported errors, then deserialize my sample data using XmlSerializer. The data structure looks exactly as expected in the debugger. Then I reserialize with XmlSerializer and, again, no reported errors. The output is valid by the schema. I can reserialize it if I like using the XmlSerializer objects, for example. The output just happens to be missing a bunch of elements (it's a lax schema, minoccurs of everything is zero, so this is valid). On inspection it seems to be serializing just the string-valued elements--not the longs, dates or enums. I've tried various types of output to no avail. I've been goo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Task gap - From Add Existing Team Project to Creating Workspace

  The Team Explorer guides me along really nicely in terms of connecting to a TF server for the first time and then select a project.  However, once I have that project added all the folders are grayed out in the Source Control explorer.  I knew I needed to "get latest version" of the files in the team project into my workspace.  I knew I needed to create a workspace but I was having a hard time finding it in the VS UI.  I kept wanting to go to the Team Explorer <ProjectName> node and right-click on it and select Team Project Settings | Source Control... but for the user I was testing with, this menu pick was gra ...Show All

• Visual C# Build problems?

  I have a problem with the Visual C# Express Edition Beta. Sometimes when I try to build or debug (which requires building) my project, I get the following error: Error    2    Could not write to output file 'G:\MyProject\obj\Debug\MyProject.exe' -- 'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. '     Using WhoLockMe says that Visual C# is the process that's using the file. This only happens after I've built or debugged the project before during that session using Visual C#, and doesn't occur all the time. Once it happens once though, it will continue until I c ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Date Time changing based on timezones??

  I have a application which passes dates/times back and forth via web services.  The server is EST.  The pda is CST -1 hour.  The PDA downloads the data from the web service and insterts it in SQL CE.  When the user views the info it is 1 hour off. If the user adjusts the timezone on the pda to EST it works fine.   Any help on how to tell the app to ignore timezones Thanks, Aaron OK, and just to be sure, this is right after sl.GetTickets returns And is the conversion 2005-09-27 -> 2005-09-07 a typo, or does this actually happen Anyway, it seems the PDA is misin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I test for null date in SQL table?
