• Visual Basic Opening a file using VB 2005

  Hi, Anyone knows how to open a file in notepad from a VB2k5 windows forms application I know the openfiledialog() class commands.

• Software Development for Windows Vista a process definition tool

  Hi I am about developing a generic process definition tool. The user will be allowed to define the business process model by dragging and drop the functionalities. Then this model will be converted to xml file and saved to a repository. Is this program suitable to implement such a tool If it is not, can you suggest a program to implement this tool. Rehosting the WF designer and allowing users to drop activities onto the design surface, and then generating XAML, sounds like what you're looking for.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Inaccurate double variables in VBA!!!

  Hi All, I'm working on a big structural project. I wrote about 10000 lines of VBA code using AutoCAD, Excel and Access, but one of the problems that I could never resolve was inaccuracy in single and double variables. For example when I try to read start point of an AutoCAD line object in double variable A and then compare it with another double variable B that is equal to A, I don’t get correct result. For example if VBA watch window shows both A and B as 32.125 then when I subtract A and B I get something like 1.23123467423E-13 !!! I have VBA version 6.3 and I arise this problem in other applications such as Excel and Access, for ex ...Show All

• Visual C# c# colordialog custom colors save

  Hello, Is there some way to save and restore the custom colors in a colorDialog in a Windows Forms project When I look in the ApplicationSettings's PropertyBinding pop-up for the colorDialog, those custom colors are not there. Thanks. The ColorDialog class exposes a property called CustomColors which is an array of integers that represent the colors in question in an ARGB format. Worst case you could save these values manually after use of the ColorDialog and then reload them later. ...Show All

• Visual C++ project is always 'out of date'

  I recently upgraded a vs 2003 project (standard C++ console application, reasonably complex, links to several libraries including Boost, Blitz++, and fftw). For some reason, since the upgrade, one of the projects in the solution (the startup project in case this is relevant), is always out of date when I do a compile, or run in the debugger. All files in this project are always recompiled, whether any of them have been changed or not.

• Visual C++ Error: LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _FlushIpNetTable...

  Hei everyone, I get that build error while trying to call a function in IP Helper from C code in a VS C++ project. I #include <Iphlpapi.h>. Someone solved this by adding the line: #pragma comment(lib, "Iphlpapi") and this also solves my problem. However, I don't understand why. What does that line do Thanks a lot. / Rolle The #pragma used makes the linker link to the lib "lphlpapi.lib" which is probably the library that defined the unresolved symbol stated in the error you were getting.
