• Visual Basic Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: Account Amount 1-1100 37.00 2-0000 90.00 .... Total 127.00 Can I code a validation event handler into the class at design time I know I can use the same handler for all the instances ...Show All

• Visual Basic Saving gif files

  Hi people, For a jpg file, you can save the file with the save method of the image object and you can specifiy a quality. code: currentImage.Save(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, _codec, GetQuality()) First parameter is the name of the file.

• Windows Forms clickonce does not pull in GACed assemblies when publishing

  Hi all, There is a dll in the GAC on my development machine but I do not want it to be in the GAC on the deployment machines. So I added a reference to it and set copy local to true. When I build the project, I see the dll gets copied to the bin folder correctly. However, when I go to publish, I do not see the dll in the publish directory. Why is clickonce not pulling it in. Is it because it's in the GAC I have done this same thing for another dll which worked. I'm not sure why this one doesn't work. Anyone has any idea why Thanks. ...Show All

  Can I see detailed statistics for a loadtest - e.g. request and reponse times for the indiviual requests I see the summary and counters. WIll TFS help with this Thanks, You should be able to drill down into the individual requests and see the same information as you would if you ran the web tests individually. By default the test results come back in summary form, but at the top there should be link to switch to detailed results. There, you will find another dropdown for the different results you want to view in grid format. In there you should find links to the individual web test results, detailed error data, etc. Let m ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce overwriting user settings on update

  I'm working on a VB app using ClickOnce deployment. When I deploy a new version to my update location, the clients will install the update and migrate user settings (My.Settings stuff) and data files correctly. However, if I change the update location to a different path on the server, the new update will not migrate the user settings or data files and uses the defaults included in the deployed package. Step by step: 1) user installes app from \\server\location1 2) user saves settings 3) publish update to \\server\location2 and use mage to change update location in the manifest at location1 so the user's app will look at new location 4) user ...Show All
