• Visual Basic Console textbox

  What is the best way to make a textbox behave like a console (command prompt) I have a System.IO.StringWriter that gets text appended to it. I can display the output of this in a textbox but the string grows bigger and bigger (i don't care about old stuff just a couple screens of the recent stuff) and anytime the textbox changes it is scrolled to the top, not at the bottom where the new text is located. This is what I have now but it's terrible: Private Sub ConsoleRefreshTimer_Tick( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ConsoleRefreshTimer.Tick If ab.ToString.Length > 6000 Then 'i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Friend can't run my program???

  I made a simple program. I created a few buttons that controlled a picture box. I imported two pictures. I sent it to a friend so he could check it out and it won't open. He says it pops up a message saying something about needing .net framework...... again, not exactly sure about the message. Why is this particular program not working for him Dear KrazyKevin, I may tell you, "Welcome to the .NET Framework deployment hell" but I won't because I have recently found there might be a solution. The solution to your problem could only be a tool that would allow you to link assemblies together, comp ...Show All

• SQL Server FTS indexable table column

  Hi, how can I programatically identify if table columns are eligible to include in a FTS catalog index I can do this: SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY (object_id('Person.Address') , 'AddressID', 'IsIndexable' ) but what I'd like to do is: SELECT COLUMNPROPERTY (object_id('Person.Address') , 'AddressID', 'IsFullTextIndexable' ) but that property doesn't exist. The best I got sofar is to compare data types with what the documentation says, something like this: ... if (tc.Text == "char" || tc.Text == "varchar" || tc.Text == "nvarchar" || tc.Text == "varbinary(max)" || tc.Text == &qu ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to build a generic runtime host?

  Hi, I know this is a quite a big question, but I have to ask it :-) How would I write a generic windows workflow foundation runtime host. What I want to do is: 1. Write a Windows Service that exposes the Windows Workflow Foundation Runimte as a remoted Singleton object. Let's call that one WorkflowEngine. 2. The WorkflowEngine has state persistance and tracking services enabled. 3. The WorkflowEngine offers a method lets say Startworkflow( workflowToStart) that is able to start any given workflow as long as the assembly the workflow is defined in is available to the Engine. ( I can imagine how to do this this with System.Re ...Show All

• Visual C# Working with Certificate Revocation List

  I need to load CRL file (or Byte array) and retrieve the Serial numbers in. I notice that System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates namespace is for certificates (and I'll use it) but what namespace can I use in order to retrieve the CRL What I would do is create a managed wrapper for CAPICOM. CAPICOM is an unmanged library that has extensive utilities for working with certificates. Perhaps that can help. You can download CAPICOM and it's documentation here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=860ee43a-a843-462f-abb5-ff88ea5896f6&DisplayLang=en   ...Show All

• SQL Server sql server upgrade from 2000 to 2005

  I am currently using sql server 2000 and I have just installed sql server 2005 in a separate box that will be used as the production server so I will be upgrading to the new database server soon. I was reading the upgrade options for this situation and one option is to detach the 2000 database, copy the mdf and log files to the new server and attach it to mssql 2005. Another option is to recreate the tables, views, etc. and export/import the data to the new server. I would like to ask what the best option is for this situation because I am not sure what the advantages and disadvantages of just detaching/attaching and recreating the dat ...Show All

• Windows Forms Some labels cut off at 2/3 height on some computers

  Hi there, We're developing a windows app.  Amongst other things, we're displaying two labels on a form.  Another dev created these, and set the height of the labels to 13px.  The forms display fine on his computer, but on my laptop only the top two thirds of the text is shown, and the bottom third is invisible.  When I set the label height to 19px, I can see the entire label. My question is why would this be different on his computer and mine   It's very frustrating. My laptop is also reasonably new (Acer Ferrari 4005 if it makes any difference) and I have experience this problem in another couple of apps I use, that ...Show All

• SQL Server Add a DateLoaded column to input data

  OK, I *know* this is trivial, and please feel free to giggle,  but after years of DTS 2000 my poor brain can't make all the jumps neccesary to cope with SSIS 2005. I have a Transfer data task. Source input (non SQL Server) has x columns, SQL Destination has x+1 columns, where the extra column is a non-null smalldatetime column DateLoaded. This will be populated with the Date & time the row was added. In DTS I do this either by adding a GetDate() equivalient to the Source SQL statement (which I can't do in this case) OR by an ActiveX script to put DATE()+TIME() in the final column in the Transfer pane of the designer. This must be ea ...Show All
