• Visual Basic cursor in textbox control

  I need some help showing the cursor position in a text box on windows form. I’m using two buttons on a windows form to move a text insertion point to the left or right in a single line text box on the same form. The text insertion point does move left and right as commanded but I get no cursor in the text box to indicate where in the text box the insertion point is located. In VB 6 the cursor (flashing vertical bar) in the text box was shown at the txt1.SelStart location. The same does not seem to be true in VB .net when I use txt1.text.SelectionStart. I’ve tried everything I can think of to get the text cursor ...Show All

• Architecture Have you tried NHibernate?

  I was just wondering... how many of you have tried using an Object Relational Mapper... perhaps something like NHibernate instead of the DataSet: NHibernate is a port of Hibernate Core for Java to the .NET Framework. It handles persisting plain .NET objects to and from an underlying relational database. Given an XML description of your entities and relationships, NHibernate automatically generates SQL for loading and storing the objects. Optionally, you can describe your mapping metadata with attributes in your source code. NHibernate supports transparent persistence, your object classes don't have to follow a restrictive progr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with state persistence and timer services

  Hi, I've experimented with adding the SQL state, timer and tracking services to the Lab1 sample step 4 (the expense report approval workflow). The tracking service works fine, but it seems that the state and timer services get the engine stuck on the ListenForManagerApproval activity. If I disable the state and timer services the workflow unfolds as expected. I use the (really cool) Workflow Monitor sample to view the results, and the progress is evident every time: With the state and/or timer service enabled, the flow gets stuck on ListenForManagerApproval  and then after a while the workflow gets the status "aborted". Any ideas why ...Show All

• Windows Forms Possible Bug of the TableLayoutPanel?

  Try this to duplicate the possible bug: 1. Drag a tablelayoutpanel on a form inside the VS 2005 IDE. 2. Make it two rows and two columns. 3. Put a textbox in the seond column on the seond row 4. Set the textbox's columnspan = 2. Since the default grow behavior of the tablelayoutpanel is to add rows, our textbox will now move to the newly-added row to occupy two columns. Everything is fine, right But wait, we cannot drag our textbox to anywhere any more. No matter how hard you try, the textbox will stay in the newly-added row.  This behavior seems not right to me. Is this by design Could you please che ...Show All

• Windows Forms ellipsis button on a DataGridView cell

  I know I am missing something simple. . . I have an unbound column on a DataGridView. I want it to display some data derived from a non-visible key field of the dataTable the Grid is bound to. I want an ellipsis button on the text box, so the user can open a form to define the data that wll be set in the key field, then I will update the Unbound column. Does that make sense am I going about this the wrong way You can convert the code to VB fairly easily. There's probably other tools out there or more elegant ways to do it, but I did it by loading the assembly into Lutz Roeders .NET reflector and using the File ...Show All

• .NET Development problem with com object

  Hi, I must create a com object that has some methods described in an interface. One of this methods is          new(par1,par2,par3) as short The only problem is that i can't create a method with such name because it is seen as the constructor of the com object (and the constructor for the com object must have no parameters). So when i write Public Function new(...) as short i get the message The constructor must be declared as Sub and not as Function Thanks for your answer, i did not knew this feature of .net.

  Hi! I have a parameter that sould be visible only if certains values are selected on a multi-value parameter. I tried to use an expression for the parameter's hidden property, but I saw it's not possible (at least not in the usual way, as with tables). Does anyone know how to do it Thanks! There is no way to do this through RDL, but if you are using the report viewer controls, you can programmatically hide the parameters using the ReportViewer control API. ...Show All
