• Windows Forms ListView and subclassing

  I have read two excellent articles on how to subclass .NET controls so that you can hook into the control’s WndProc, which is very helpful since you cannot access the WndProc directly for .NET Compact Framework controls. The links are: http://blog.opennetcf.org/ayakhnin/CategoryView.aspx category=ListView http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2005/07/24/442616.aspx Sub-classing allows you to trap windows messages and provide handlers for them. I have run into a difficulty though when trying to request owner drawn messages. I have a listview control that I have sub-classed. The reason that I did this i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating files with mage.exe doesn't work

  I'm running a batch file to create a deployment with the following commands, between version's of my .exe I copy trailblz.exe into my \bin and 1 in 5.0.0.1\trailblz.exe.deploy, when I run the following batch everything appears to be fine, except when deploying, I get errors because the trailblz.exe.manfest still contains the old version of the .exe.

• Visual Basic Calculator

  Hi. I'm new at this and am taking a class in VB.NET at the local college. The instructor has made a claim that a calculator can be programmed in VB in three lines of code. You are supposed to be able to input the numbers 0 through 9 into the label. When the operand is used the number is loaded into a variable and the second number is input until the calculate(=) button is clicked. The instructor said that it can be done, but hasn't explained how this is to be done. Does anyone have any idea how to do this Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. How is the operand entered I could make this happen in three lin ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista StateMachine Web Service

  Does anyone have any examples of a state machine wrapped in a web service The Presenting WWF book briefly touches on the subject but doesn't give any substance.   Jon Flanders wrote: That's mostly because the state machine chapter comes after the Web Service chapter ;-). But there isn't much to making one.  Have a WebServiceReceive as the first activity inside of one of your states, and the right-click on the project node and select "Publish as Web Service". I'll post one on my blog later today. http://www.masteringbiztalk.com/ Hi Jon, were you able to create a sample project thanks ...Show All

• .NET Development Disable copy paste to secure application

  I'm new in programming. I want to know how can I disable copy paste option in a way that no one could copy my application. I want to secure my application that only I could copy and distribute the software I develop. None of the others could copy from the copy of original application. Ultimately, you cannot prevent a file or files from being copied and pasted to another location. However, you can develop various methods of copy protection - such as registration number encryption schemes and server-verification registration and other such methods. Thus, even if the application were copied, it would be useles ...Show All

• SQL Server How do call Winzip from Execute Process Tasks?

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Unmanaged DirectX to solve dependancies?

  Hi, I'm back again! My application is now working fine and converting textures as it should, but I've just sent it to one of the texture guys to give it a run through and it crashes out with an error of "File or assembly name Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D, or one of its dependecies, was not found." As I've come to understand it, that means that the DirectX install that they have isn't enough and that the also need to install the MDX package. Considering my app is only around 25KB (zipped) when I don't include the DevIL libraries, forcing people to download a further 4.odd MB of MDX installer is just crazy. I've tried searching for unmanaged Dir ...Show All

• Windows Forms Forms Design View

  I have only just started 'messing about' with Visual Basic 2005 Express and I'm hoping this is just a dumb new starter error! I created a project following one of the user guides in the help area. It was a form with a text box and a button, nothing fancy. However, I am unable to now view the form in design view to resize it, move the button, etc. According to help, I should be able to double-click on the form name in the solution explorer but this just brings up a blank code page. Any pointers gratefully received as I don't fancy restarting the project just so to reposition a button! ;-) Thank you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Module

  Hello, I am working on a program that uses a lot of subs and functions, so I wanted to bring those together in 1 single module file. Now I did this (see code), but I noticed that it compiles the module with my app, and it doesn't compile it to an dll as I want to. Anyone here knows how to solve this because it is important that I can 'update' the file just by replacing my module dll by a new one. Here is the code I'm using: Module modules Public Sub SetSettings() E nd Sub Public Sub GetSettings() End Sub Public Sub cfu( ByVal flag As Integer ) Select Case flag Case 0 Try My .Computer.Network.DownloadFile( ...Show All
