• Visual Basic passing a dimensioned array values as argument to a procedure

  I have difficulty in passing the contents of entire array variable as an argument to a procedure. Main Program; DIM x(100) As Single Call SubProgram(x()) SubProgram(ByVal x() As Single) End Sub Hi, I am taking a quantum leap from QB to VB.NET 2005 I get a wavy error message under () of X as "No of indices is less than the number of dimensions of the indexed array" . Any suggestion All you need to do is take the parentheses off, so it should look like this: Sub Main() Dim x(100) as Single Call SubProgram(x) End Sub Sub SubProgram(ByVal x as ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Open an excel file

  Hope you will help a beginner .. Here's what I want to do:  In a VBA subroutine, try to open an excel file with a particular name say, P01GAB.xls.  It may not be in the diretory, if not, wait for 10 seconds and try again.  If so, open it and go on to the next thing.  (Eventually, it will be in the directory...)  So, I take it, I need some sort of error trap on the Workbooks.Open command... Thanks much.   Oops! That piece of code should now look like this: for i=1 to iMax on error resume next set wb = workbooks.open(sPath & "\" & sFile) on error goto 0 if not ...Show All

• .NET Development Questions on EncoderParameters / PNG TIFF Image types

  This is a repost, (i had originally posted to the incorrect group, sorry...), and also, I am still unclear on where to post this one, as it seems to "fall between the cracks" somewhat...I can't find a forum that really seems appropriate for GDI+ questions (if someone has a tip on that, idappreciateit!) The question: Does anyone happen to know, offhand, if there is a way to specify the quality encoder parameter type for .PNG files that actually causes some effect on the degree of compression I have seen 3rd party imaging software that allows settings for this, usually with a compression level from 1-10, which really w ...Show All

• Visual C# Database Question

  Ok. I have a couple of questions about a database. Lets say I create a program, and add a database to it. Ok, then I send the program to a person in New York, will I be able to update that database from here where I am This question is a little broad to answer correctly in it's current form. Without going into too many specifics, it is possible for you to access and update a database on a remote connection from anywhere in the world. You need to consider many things before you implement this however. It depends on what DBMS you're using, what type of changes you're making (data changes, structural changes, stored procedure chang ...Show All
