• Windows Forms Printer Margins Changes When Locale Changes

  The MSDN documention says PageSetupDialog.PageSettings.Margins are in hundredths of an inch.  My CurrentUI is en-US.  I set Top=70 (0.7"). When my application is run in a PC with CurrentUICulture set to some metric locale, eg German-Germany, the PageSetupDialog pops up with a Top of 7 (mm). It seems that a Margins value of x inches will be converted to x *10 mm.  Why isn't it converted to x *25.4 How do I make sure that my margin values stay the same no matter what locale the application is running in Thanks. I found out more. If I enter a margin value of 25 (mm) in the Pag ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista UI lacks of Transitions, Fades and some other things

  I like Windows Vista very much, but when i compare the current December CTP [of which I am beta tester] with a Mac OS X Tiger video found on the apple homepage, Vista falls behind in some areas. What I find so pleasing in Mac OS X are the cool but not annoying transitions in various parts of the user interface. In Vista, except of the window minimize to taskbar, maximize from taskbar, window open and window close effects, there are none noticable. There should be much more, for example when opening the start menu, etc. There are tons of possibilities for transitions which look nice,  aesthetic, don't disturb users and help better recog ...Show All

• Visual Studio Examples of beta vs prod builds?

  I have a 2005 smart client that is deployed using ClickOnce. To build beta, I have to change the app.config file via Settings.Settings to say "Beta" and vice versa for a prod release.  I also have to change the URL in the publish tab via the properties window for the project.  It is really not that much but I can't seem to find any examples of how to do this via MSBuild.  Anyone have any samples, links or anything they can point me to Thanks, Keith You can solve the app.config problem by doing a command-line build of your project file in combination with a custom task. You'd write a custom task in MSBuild that knows ho ...Show All

• Windows Forms problem with mirrored listview

• Visual Basic ListBox as an argument

  Here is one for the group. Can a list box become an argument, ie. ListBox(21) ListBox(22) My problem is that I have several list boxes with data. I need to compare ListBox1 with ListBox2 and 3 and so on. It would be so much easier to use a variable like ListBox(x) as the list box number. Thanks, rmc The easiest way is to create an array of the TextBox type and add your TextBoxes to it ala: 'Create a 10 TextBox long array Dim TextBoxes(10) As TextBox 'Add new TextBox at array index 0 TextBoxes(0) = New TextBox() 'Add new TextBox at array index 1 ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent Failure

  I have created a job with several SSIS packages included in it. There is a failure when I schedule and run the job. Where can I find the information why it is failing When I run the packages individually, they run fine. Thanks in advance. Presumably you are using a log provider in your packages so first thing to do would be to look at those logs.

• Smart Device Development Does a custom Setup.dll work with WCELoad?

  Does WCELoad.exe call codeINSTALL_EXIT Or, is it only the Application Manager (CEAppMgr.exe) that does this I've been trying for a couple of days to create a dll that would fire off after installing my cab file using WCELoad.exe. Please tell me if this is not possible so I can stop trying to make it work. Yes it does. CeAppMgr.exe runs on desktop, it has nothing to do with CAB's setup DLL. Basically it just copies CAB to the device and invokes WCELoad.exe. As to your problem, please make sure your DLL is compiled for correct CPU and exports all required entry points. This DLL can not be managed. There ...Show All
