• Visual Basic Decent Source Code Site - Visual Basic 2005

  Hi, Want to know if there are any decent Visual Basic 2005 source code sites available yet. Have lookt all over and can only find vb.net (which the conversion does not always do correctly) and allot of vb6 code. I have found that no matter how may tutorials you read and how many books you get none of them cover what you want to to cover. What exactly is it you want to cover Almost all .NET 2003 books are valid for 2005. The only real differences are in the .NET framework objects - there's a few new really useful ones (in .net 2.0), but all the techniques are the same. a couple of books I like are Visual Basic .NET pro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WorkflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow overloads

  I have not been able to find any information about two CreateWorkflow overloads in the WorkflowRuntime class: CreateWorkflow(XmlReader workflowDefinitionReader, XmlReader rulesReader, Dictionary<string, object> namedArgumentValues) and CreateWorkflow(XmlReader workflowDefinitionReader, XmlReader rulesReader, Dictionary<string, object> namedArgumentValues, System.Guid instanceId) I have two questions: 1. Given that there are issues with argument passing and Xaml-only (or "no code") defintions, do these methods have any purpose 2. If yes, can you provide some information about the "rulesReader" ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Using custom entities in VS 2005

  I've just started using Crystal Reports with Visual Studio 2005. My web application has separate tiers for the UI, Business, Data Layer etc and i'm using custom entities and collections ( using the Generic List object ) to pass data. Also the UI gets the data via web services. Currently when creating a new report i'm trying to use a .NET Object - problem with that is it doesn't seem to list referenced assemblies, so i've created a local 'clone' object in the UI application & set that as the report's datasource. Is there a way around this Problem number two is that my entities use the Nullable types ( e.g. Nullable<decimal> ) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modular Architecture Question

  Hi All, I am in the early stages of designing a new C# WinForm app (.NET 2.0). Because of external interface hardware requirements, I would like to make it modular, in terms of being able to simply write a new .dll ( ) if a new hardware device is used (say, for example, a dll for thumbprint identification and a seperate dll for RFID). I am also considering using dll's to contain the View, Controller and possibly some of the Model portions of the app (MVC arch). So, I could use a config file to use dll A instead of dll B, which would also load a different screen when interacting with the hardware. This would also enable me to ad ...Show All

• .NET Development Does WseWsdl3.exe support a parameter file?

  I was under the impression that the wsewsdl3.exe tool supports the same parameters/switches that wsdl.exe does. However, I can't seem to get WseWsdl3.exe to use a parameter file. Is there some way to use a parameter file with WseWsdl3.exe Thanks, Erick Yes, the /sharetypes is not a value switch, try this: wsewsdl3.exe /type:webclient http://[service1].asmx http://[service2].asmx /sharetypes Thanks, Elena ...Show All

• Visual C++ Simple prblem with VS.Net 2005 Intellisense

  I keep having problems with the intellisense (IS) not working properly. That is, say I have a class Foo and I declare a variable Foo f; When I try to get the intellisense to start working by typing f. nothing comes up. To reporduce the problem in a simple setting here is what I have done. Create a new project, add a new class Foo. Now add a new member function to the .h file and call it OldFunction(). Problem 1: Click over to the Foo.cpp file and type void Foo:: and the OldFunction() does not appear in the IS list like it did in 2003. Problem 2: Now in your _main function declare a variable Foo f; and the OldFunction that you have j ...Show All

  I use this API to load dll. I get the dll files name in the windows registery. Normal the file name is OK. Sometims the file name will be "%systemroot%\system32\abc.dll".
