• Visual Basic Radio Check Options in Menu Strip?

  First off, I'm completely new to the world of Visual Basic. I took a little break from programming for about 20 years :) What a change... and THANK GAWD! I'm trying to keep current in my studies and am using VB.NET 2005 beta 2 at the moment and training with App Dev's VB .NET course... I've got the basics down, nagivation, understanding of objects, properties, etc... but for the life of me, i can't find what i'm looking for... and what I THOUGHT may have been a slight change in naming of properties... was not the solution to my dilemna... at anyrate... My question is.... Does the 2005 version support the radio check boxes as it did in 2003 ...Show All

  I realize this is a bit trivial. However it is quite frustrating every time I attempt one of these Tutorial/Walk-thru's in unknown territory only to find the documentation to be incomplete. Can anyone please tell me where I can find the "Hello World" code example for the WPF "Getting Started..." tutorial In the documentation it states the following: Run the "Hello World" Example ... To launch XAMLPad Click the Start menu, point to All Programs , Microsoft Windows SDK , and Tools , and then click XAMLPad .

• Visual J# Web Browser, HTML selection

  Hi, I have implemented a simple Web Browser using the inbuilt Web Browser component. I now need to be able to highlight some text on the web page and for this to then be selected by the J# program. This is possible in Java by using the getSelectionSrat and getSelectionEnd methods linked to the JEditorPane, and it is possible in C# by using IHTMLSelectionObject and IHTMLTxtRange, but now I need to find the J# version! Regards Richard Hi, In J# you can do it as following... 1. Refer vjswfchtml.dll. 2. import com.ms.wfc.html.om package. 3. Importing this package will expose IHTMLSelectionObject and IHTMLTx ...Show All

• .NET Development Removing element tag names during serialization

  Hello all, I have what appears to be a simple question but after quite a bit of research I can't seem to find an answer. Basically, I am serializing a class into an XML document.  This is creating a XML doc that includes the following: <Document:File> <buffer>JKDIDIEJ</buffer> </Document:File> What I would like to do, is to remove the <buffer> tags while serializing, so that only the data would be present.  Because of the structure of the pre-existing XML, I can't change buffer to just include it in the Document class. So is there a command, function, or the like that I can pass to the XMLWRite ...Show All

• SQL Server using package variables as parameters in Execute Sql Task

  Hi, I need to run an SQL command, in which one of the fields is based on the current time, represented as a string in a specific format. I used a script task to create the string from the current time, and store it in a package variable named "newDate". Later, in the execute sql task, I have the following update statement: "update table_1 set field_1 = " (OLE DB connection is used) and in the parameters mapping I set parameter 0 to the string package variable "newDate". The problem is that on runtime, the sql executes with the default value of the variable - i.e. it doesn't take the new value. I c ...Show All

  I am using XML file as database in my application. i want to encrypt that XML file while saving it on the device. can u please provide some pointers to that.

• SQL Server Hows does SSIS improve concurrency without loacking

  Now, DTS runtime uses multiple threads for execution to improve concurrency, performance and scalability. In order to avoid having more than one thread attempt to access the same variable at the same time, all access to variables must be made "safe" by locking them for your operation. How does SSIS fare on this count IS does this with the VariableDispenser object. It's exposed in the script component and task. It essentially locks variables for you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Query for Empty String

  Does anyone know how to query for an empty string when writing a new query for work items in TFS For example, I want to write a search clause something like History = "" . However, the only two operators in the dropdown list are Contains and Does Not Contain. Does anyone know how to do this The reason I am doing this is because I want to write a query that returns all work items that have been flagged as resolved but have not yet been included in a build. I've noticed that the History field seems to always be empty for this condition (although I haven't completely proved that yet). If there is another way to get this query ...Show All
