• Visual Basic Help on Update String

  MyCommand.CommandText = "UPDATE PATIENTS SET LastName='" & tboxLastName.Text & "',FirstName='" & tboxFirstName.Text & " ' WHERE PatientID= '" & Val(tboxPatientID.Text) & "'" the application throws in another exception saying "No value given for one or more required parameter" and the debugger was displaying WHERE PatientID = '1", instead of '1' so I think its in the WHERE statement, I had tried different combination of quotes but to no avail.... You're not specifying any quotes at all. What does Val do It's completely superfluous here. If the ID is a number ( and it should be ), ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to programatically control visiblity of tab pages without removing them from designer?

  I have a large tab control which consists of many tab pages. Depending on who the user is, different tab pages should be visible. setting a tab page to visible=false or enabled=false doesnt work (enabled=false causes all the controls on the tab to be disabled) Of course, the code to add the tab pages to the control is simple - i can easily write&n ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) inheriting from itemscontrol - not able to bind to itemssource

  I have a situation where I want to wrap a (custom)panel with some stuff (scrollviewer, track and some buttons). Therefore I created a new class that inherits from ItemsControl. In it, I use a style to set my panel as the itemshost. However, when I use this usercontrol, the itemssource is always null! < cft:TijdslijnVisualisatie Grid.Column = " 0 " Grid.Row = " 1 " DataContext = " {Binding ElementName=ComponentLijst, Path=SelectedItem} " ItemsSource = " {Binding Path=Periods.xxxx} " ItemTemplate = " {StaticResource xxx} " /> < ListBox Grid.Column = &quo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't debug CF v1.0 on WM 5.0 device or emulator.

  When I attempt to debug a VS2005 VB program which targets the compact framework version 1.0 on either the WM 5.0 emulator or an actual WM 5 device (Dell Axim x51), I get an error message which says, "Unable to start program '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\abc\abc.exe'. Not Implemented" If I run the program without debugging (ctrl+F5) it works fine. Also, if I create an identical program with version 2.0 of the framework it debugs fine on the emulator.  I've been searching all over for some clues to this.  I have re-installed both VS 2005 and the WM5 SDK. (Yes, I did have VS 2005 beta 2 installed; but I followed the uninstall instructions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Support for users with Team Edition products by small ISVs

  We've just received a bug report from a potential customer whose trial installation isn't working the way it should. Unfortunately, his installation is Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition, which we don't have access to (for us, I'm afraid the price is prohibitive). Although we can (and do) routinely test against VS2005 Professional Edition, given the scope of the additional features in the Team Edition, a successful test in Pro is not a reliable indicator of compatibility. To be anything like certain, we need to test against the Team Edition - even a standalone client installation without a corresponding TFS installation would almost certainl ...Show All

• Visual C# Email Verification

  Hi everyone,    I have a question relating to email verification. One of the things I do is run a couple of websites, I allow people to sign up for my newsletter and have several opt in forms (where people leave their details and get what ever I'm currently offering for free). About 10% of the people who leave details are leaving *** data - this obviously means that when I send out a mailing my bounce rate is 10% + This is acceptable for my service provider but it makes my stats meaningless. I've just written a piece of code to go and 'ping' a domain: System.Net.IPHostEntry objIPHE = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByName("www." + dnsName[ ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Media Compression support

  By supporting the next wave of high performance media, won't there be a need for a new way to compress video/audio streams Our current system is flawed, rendering entire videos into raw streams would require vast amounts of hard drive capacity. I propose a solution to the media storage problem. Given that Media currently is stored in a playable format, meaning you can click it and instantly start playing it in media player, or whatever player you use, why not develop a simple system for storing this content when not in use. Let's get technical, and talk a little bit of math. Let's say you transcode (hexdump) an entire video to a tex ...Show All
