• Visual Basic code for toolstrip copy button

  I am a newbie having fun with Visual Basic Express 2005. I am creating a dedicated browser using the WebBrowser control. I have added a toolstrip and created basic buttons (back, forward, refresh, home, print) that work but am at a loss how to get the copy button to work. I realize it will probably require an “if … else” method to ensure that some text has been selected prior to putting it on the clipboard. I have found several resources on copying from a textbox but the text will be copied from a webpage in the webbrowser. Any guidance to help me along in creating the required code to get the copy button to work will be appreciated. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to find out Serial Number of My Hard Disk

  Hi all, I want to know the Hard Disk Serial Number. My requirement is an application communicates with a remote server for some data transfer. Ii want to restrict the usage of my application to only one system. If the Application is installed in One system It should not be allowed to be installed in another system for the same User. I think Hard Disk Serial Number is Unique. So when the user installs my application i'll collect his Hard Disk Serial Number and store it in the server. The next time user attempts to install it again in another computer that should be avoided. Thanks, Try this Code Project article . ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drawing reversible rectangle

  I have two picture boxes on my form. One picture box is located on a scrolling panel and represents a "big map". The second picture box displays a "small map" that is subset of the "big map". What I am trying to do is display a rectangle in the "big map" that represents the area in the second picture box. The problem is that the rectangle I'm displaying with the DrawReversibleFrame() API goes away when I scroll the panel where the "big map" is displayed. I was catching the scroll event for the panel and simply trying to redraw the rectangle, but it didn't help. Private m_MapOutline As New Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0) Private Sub ...Show All

• SQL Server Compiling SQL statement in stored proc

  (I'm sure this is possible, so maybe someone can just mention the topic that covers it and I'll research it from there.) In essence, I have two SQL statements that are 98% the same, but I want to substitute a few different clauses according to the variable passed in. I can get the following simple example to work fine, as long as the CASE statement adds a simple string. But syntax errors appear when trying to use more complex SQL statements, such as FROM or JOIN clauses, in the CASE statement.  I think it doesn't like keywords next to 'WHEN'. If it's possible to compile the SQL statement as one long string while substitu ...Show All
