• Smart Device Development Activating speakerphone on Windows Smartphone

  I'm trying to activate the speakerphone on my HTC-derived (Qtek-8300) Smartphone 2003 with no success. So far, I've tried the following approaches. TAPI: After initializing TAPI and veryfing the device's capabilities I made the following call: phoneSetHookSwitch(hPhone, PHONEHOOKSWITCHDEV_SPEAKER, PHONEHOOKSWITCHMODE_MICSPEAKER). The call fails with PHONEERR_OPERATIONUNAVAIL despite the fact that the device should support this feature. In fact any phoneSetHookSwitch call fails regardless of the parameters supplied.

• Visual Basic Opening forms in a tab

  I have an mdi form with a few smaller forms that open within it. I recently decided that I do not want to do this. Is there a way to open the forms I have already created in a tab Say I have Form2.vb as a child form of Form1.vb. Right now, I have it set as I click a button and Form2 opens in a child window. Instead, I want to create a new tab on my tabcontrol and open it there (no new child window). I don't want to write out all the code that creates the controls by hand as the designer already did that for me. How would I take the code in Form2.Designer.vb and make it apply to a newly created tab If this doesn't make sense then I apolo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Validating & Formatting

  I am using the following code to format the values of a text box in the Validation event txtBoxSellPrice.Text = Format((txtBoxSellPrice.Text / 10), "00.00") Unfortunately it is having an unwanted side effect in that if I click out of the field then back in then back out it recalculates the /10 bit again, I would like to prevent this so that the calculation is only performed once but how the heck do I do this . OK, Thank you very much for that tip. Just tried it and it works a treat. Once again many thanks AMJ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Task Assigned To

  When creating a new task in TFS, the Assigned To drop down includes many different accounts by default. For example, it includes the TFSSERVICE account that we use to run TFS, and TFSSETUP which we used to install TFS.

• SQL Server SQL Impesonate Logon Problem

    Hi. I am currently working on an ASP.NET application which has to log on to SQL using a specific windows user account. As far as I am aware the only way to do this is by adding the Integrated Security=true ; property to the connection string. If you specify a user id and password then it will try to log you in as a SQL user. Is this all correct   To be able to login to the SQL server we explicitly call the LogonUser function from the   advapi32.dll then open a SQL Connection using the Integrated Security=true property. When you look at SQL Profiler it seems that there is two logon calls made when the conne ...Show All

  I have a Palm OS5 based Pocket PC. I would like to do programming for Palm Os5. What dotnet tool (if there is) should i use to get started. Preferably C# based.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code. Even when code is not required, it’s not always easy to create reusable animation effects. Enter AnimationBehaviors. AnimationBehaviors is a library that makes it easy to add common animations to elements in XAML with little effort. By utilizing attached properties I’ve created a system where adding (sometimes) complicated animations becomes ...Show All

• Visual Basic .application File cannot be found

  Hello, I have a very simple application that I am trying to publish to a Windows 2005 server.  During my testing, I sucessfully published my application using ClickOnce to my local IIS.  I noticed two things that VS2005 did during the publishing process: 1. It created a folder with my current version of the application & four files (publish.htm, setup.exe, MyApp.application , and MyApp_1_0_0_0.application). 2. It created a virtual folder in IIS with the project name (MyApp). My problem is when I publish it to the Windows 2005 server.  There are no errors during the publish process, and it opens the "publi ...Show All
