• Visual Basic FIleOpen Dialog - fileopendialog.showdialog() - Change default view from List to Details

  In my app a user can mouse to File Menu - Open. The fileopendialog.showdialog() has default view of ListView. The user is alway going to have to sort the file list by Date in descending order in order to open the most recent file stored in the network location. How can I make the FileOpenDialog display in Detail View by default and not List View. Thanks, MIke Code Sample dlgOpenFile.InitialDirectory = sDefaultDir dlgOpenFile.FilterIndex = 0 dlgOpenFile.Filter = "All Files|*.*" dlgOpenFile.Title = "Open PO File" If dlgOpenFile.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'other ...Show All

• Visual C++ invoking cl.exe using CreateProcess

  I have a program which uses the cpp to parse input files. It invokes cl.exe using CreateProcess. However, I get the errormsg about mspdb80.dll. I have run vvcvarsall.bat, and from the command line it works normally. I can sove the problem by copying all the necessary files of the C compiler into a different folder and adding that to the path. Is there perhaps a more elegant solution I think that simple solution is to run this program with environment variables set to VS variables. For example, you can create batch file which calls vcvarsall.bat and then your program. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Relaunch of Windows Form

  Hello all I have a small problem. In most cases I can track these things down pretty easy but the complexity of the application after 2 years of development and use has made it hard to track down this last one. The Scenario: Main application runs in the background 1 pixel X 1 Pixel which launches the initial form. When a form is ready to open another form I do the following: BPS.frmMain frmMain = new frmMain(); frmMain.Show(); this .Dispose(); this .Close(); The problem: Due to third party APIs (Written in anything from C++, to VB to me porting from VB to VB.Net and then to C#) being called a form I will dispose ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflection or CAS trouble

  I have built an ASP.Net 1.1 application that utilizes reflection to load "Plugins" at runtime. The code works if you are a local administrator to the web server, but fails for anyone else. The part where it's failing is somewhere in the method that loads the assemblies. I have tried loading the assemblies in 3 different ways now and continue to get an error when it's not an administrator. I'm guessing that the problem lies within permissions or CAS, but I can find where. CAn anyone point me in the right direction Here is a snippet from the method: private void LoadPlugins() { ad = AppDomain.CreateDomain("libLoad ...Show All

• .NET Development OnSerializing, what should I do?

  Hello everyone,    I am writting a Client-Server app, one of my classes is used to load a binary file on the client and send over to the server... pretty simple.    To minimize the memory usage on that class I want to use the [OnSerializing] attribute on one mthod of my class to load the binary just before it gets sent over to the server and use the [OnSeriliazed] attribute on another to free-up that binary data.    To my surprise the field that is used to hold the binary data is 'null' when it gets to the server, I figure that I must be doing something wrong OR I completely missed the purpose of these attr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Programming to Physical Comptuer

  Hello Once again, I need your help I want to know if there is a way that the programming that can affect the real physical computer such as the hard drive, motherboard, RAM, Power Supply, Drive Thank You! all answers to kn1123@gmail.com! "Affect" is always a funny word..... I have a very fast pentium whose base operating temperature is high, and when it's compute intensive it heats, alot. I can see it warming up during virus scans, for example. In theory if I really tried I could burn my cpu out in a while loop. But I doubt it. But that's not an experiment I want to try. Changing the temperature is an "affect" but usually it won't ...Show All

  Hello!

• Smart Device Development ListBox multi selection - Why is it missing from the CF?

  I have an application that I've ported over from embedded VB to VB.NET under the compact framework and have discovered that I can no longer have a multiple selection listbox.  Why was this functionality taken out   Is there an equivalent functionality with some othe control   I've looked at the ListView but it just doesn't deliver the same simplicity as a multi selection listbox. One way to get similiar functionality with multiple selection support is to use ListView control.If you set the View  property of the ListView to List  you will get a ListBox alike look and feel.
