• Smart Device Development Configuring serial port

  Hi friends, We are trying to connect our IR enabled mobile with PC. But while doing that the port selected by the device driver is changing at each time of connection. This is hard for us to program. We need to know how to configure the mobile always at one port.... your comments and views are worth for us. Bye. Cheers, Devi. The devices actual port really isn't important, in fact, whatever your programming the device with should already know the port of the device, even if it changes. Find the function that does that, asks the operating system which port the device is on and check that value in your code. Just for ...Show All

• Visual Basic RichTextBox losing carriage returns...

  There is probably a very simple answer to this, but I haven't found it yet. I've got an app with a RichTextBox bound to a column in a dataset. The text was input as fixed width formatted text (Courier like old DOS style formatting..) from a different application. When I run the app that text shows but it's lost the carriage returns. It just shows as one continuous string. Does anyone know how to get the RichTextBox to handle the crlf correctly Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jeff Are you sure the other app is including the carriage returns   If you cut from the app and paste into notepad, Do you get the ret ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe 2005 Beta 2 installation problem

  Hi, I'm experiancing a problem when trying to install this on Windows Server 2003. Each time I run the setup program I get the message "A failed installation has been detected. Press OK to uninstall the product. Then try installing." I click OK, and it goes to an uninstall screen, which validates the install order and then tells me it's uninstalled. It doesn't seem to remove the thing it's detecting though (If it's actually removing anything at all). As far as I am aware no installation of previous betas has taken place. There isn't any sign in the add/remove programs dialog. Any one have any ideas Hi ITfJ, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Interfacing with parallel port

  hi, i need a help ,i donnt know how to program with with printer port by using C# 2005 Hi there, I'm not sure if there is a "nice" way to do this. I had a look in the namespace where I thought I could find something ( System.IO.Ports ) but all the items in that namespace seemed to be for Serial Ports rather than parallel ports. However, there is third party stuff that lets you do it. You can get a DLL (which you'll need to reference in your project, I believe) here: http://www.logix4u.net/\ And here's some write-ups on how to do the port interfacing thing with C#: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/csppleds.asp http://w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Command line error D8016 : '/MT' and '/clr' command-line options are incompatible

  I am an advanced level programmer of Borland C++Builder. Interested to try Visual C++ and hence evaluated VC++ Express. Honestly I am both pleased and disappointed. Pleased: For a programmer with zero experience using VC++ product, I managed to get my introductory project saved and compiled simply by way of self exploration. This shows despite VC++ is much more complicated than Borland C++ Builder in interface, it is still manageable. Disappointment: The subject error corped up and there is no way I can get rid of it.
