• Visual Basic How do I draw a colored circle on a section of an existing gif image?

  I'm trying to figure out the system.drawing class. One thing that I've tasked to myself is the ability to draw colored shapes on top of an existing image(gif, jpeg, etc), then save the new image. Anybody know how to do this, and mind sharing how you'd do it I'm using VB 2005 Thanks for any help. You will need to make a Image or Bitmap. From that, you can get a Graphics, which you should Dispose of when you are done, that you can use to draw on the image. When you have finished drawing, you can use the Save method on the Image or Bitmap to save the changes. Public Sub DrawOnImage(By ...Show All

• Visual Studio Binary files randomly corrupted after check-in in VSS RTM (8.0.50727.42)

  With VSS RTM (8.0.50727.42), when we check-in binary files (.lib, .dll, .pdb) the file is randomly stored corrupted. Our investigation discovered that it seems that the final part of the file is missing. 1) Checkout the binary file 2) Modify it 3) Check it in 4) Get the file The file is corrupted. We were not able to deterministically reproduce the problem; we are absolutely sure that no error is reported during checkin, nor within Source Safe explorer nor with OLE automation. We run analyze, but the database did not show any corruption. The OS is Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 for the server and Windows XP SP2 for the client. Chec ...Show All

• Visual C# ReportViewer Caching?

  I've created a multiview with two views. The first view has two date parameter fields and a submit button. When the dates are populated and the button pressed, the ObjectDatasource gets the data from a stored procedure and populates the reportviewer in the second view. After this first execution, the report keeps displaying the same data whatever dates I put in as parameters. The code to get the data from the object data source is not being executed after the first time. And I ran Profiler..the stored procedure isn't being executed. I have EnableCaching = False on the ObjectDataSource. I would like the report to be populated with ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding a project data source

  I am trying to use a DataGridView in a windows forms application. I did have it working properly displaying the contents of a list. Unfortunately recently the form editor stopped working (it produced errors saying that it could not find the class that the BindingSource was linked to whenever I tried to view the main form in my application) and I found that the only way in which I could get it to start working again was to completely delete the data source, the collection class and the DataBindingSource. Now I am trying to put things back to how they were and I am having problems. I have created a new class defined ...Show All

  OK, so it's not  completely new.  Some of you may remember that I had created a StatsViewer before (many moons ago).  I updated it to work with the 1.2 Terrarium Server.  This new version is completely rewritten and is much better behaved than the old one.  StatsViewer gives you a nice GUI interface for viewing the progress of your favorite critters.  Go to http://www.DavidAndAngela.ws/Terrarium to install it.  Oh, BTW.  In case you hadn't guessed.  You can use that URL instead of the IP address in your Terrarium client. ...Show All

  I cannot get the Subscriptions to work properly if at all. I have set up a subscription to send to a file share folder, but the time and event passes without the subscription working. Under one set of circumstances I was getting attempted subcription delivery but had a problem with writing to the folder.
