• Visual Basic How to use unmanaged com dll in VB.NET

  How can I use an unmanaged com dll in VB.NET. I used Add Reference to use it in my project but can't seem to get it to work properly: Public Sub AccessDll( ByRef objMyDll As MyDll.IMyDll) Trying the above I get a curly green line under objMyDll with a message that Type of parameter 'objMyDll' is not CLS-Compliant. When I get to the MyDll. the Intellisense shows the Interfaces available. I've tried numerous unclear explanations about interoperability but I can't find a clear, straight forward explanation. I know .net has its advantages, but considering the massive changes vb.net brought, there really& ...Show All

• SQL Server Package Configuration in SQL

  I have an OLEDB SQL Connection that has a connection string that is set as and Expression using a User Variable (@[User::server_name]).  I pass the server name as a command line option.  The Package Configuration table is being accessed using the setting for User::server_name in the package and not using the parameter entry for it. The command being issued is similar to: dtexec /FILE "packagename.dtsx" /SET "\package.variables[server_name]";dbserver I am wondering if this by design   I would think that all parameter variables would be set prior to any other configuration entries are processed.

• Visual Basic Tabbed Browsing in VB .Net

  Hi, I have a question regarding tabbed browsing. I am writing my own custom web browser in vb .net studio 2005. I can create, dynamically at runtime, additonal tabs on a tab control, which will - in each - have a dedicated webbrowser control. So what will happen is 5 search engines will be searched and the results be placed in seperate webbrowsers under 5 dynamically-created tabs. The user can then tab throw each set of results. The problem is, I cannot crack for the life of me the creation of the dynamic webbrowser controls in line with creating the tabs. I will need to send a URL to each webbrowser too, to show the resulting searc ...Show All

  Is there something wrong with TreeNodeCollection.RemoveByKey or is it me The following code does not remove nodes from my treeview string sNodeKey = GetNodeKey(); this.treeView1.Nodes.RemoveByKey(sNodeKey); So for debugging I changed it to this: string sNodeKey = GetNodeKey(); TreeNode[] oNode = this.treeView1.Nodes.Find(sNodeKey, true); if (oNode.Length < 1)     MessageBox.Show("Node Not Found"); else     MessageBox.Show("Node Found"); this.treeView1.Nodes.RemoveByKey(sNodeKey); This showed the "Node Found" message box every time.  So I know sNodeKey is valid and the no ...Show All

• SQL Server String measures in Analysis services cube

  Hi, I am having the requirement where I have to use string as measures. Is this possible in Analysis services 2K. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated Yes, it will increase the size of dimension, but you won't have more members then you have distinct comments. So if someone typed 3 million comments - dimension will have 3 million members. I would think that this streches the reality, but in any case AS2005 handles 3 million members in dimension easily. ...Show All

  I am using a stand-alone exe in VFP90 and I am trying to create a new form with the following in the init: SELECT 0 USE 'accntdb' ALIAS 'accntdb' SELECT 0 USE 'presetdb' ALIAS 'presetdb' I am compiling with VFP90 S/P 1.  Now, this will open both tables when run on Win2K just fine, but when run on XP (latest s/p) only the data in the 'presetdb' table is visible in the browser.  The alias is still recognized, but there is no data for 'accntdb'.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure inserting duplicate keys into table that is uniquely indexed

  I'm having a problem in SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition where I am calling a stored procedure to insert a row into a table. In the example below there is a table called "Machine" with three columns, MachineID, MachineName, MachineIPAddress defined. MachineID is the table Identity and pk.

However, when I try to insert directly into the table view in SQL Management Stu ...Show All
