• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Microsoft.visualbasic.collection type in settings

  I am working on a program where the user would want to save several sets of settings. For example, the settings would be used like variable a = a string, variable b = a font, variable c = a string. The user would want to use a different set depending on his choices for recurring type events. (i.e. A.M. use set 1, noon use set 2, evening use set 3, night use set 4) Each set would only contain it's own values for a,b, and c variables, nothing else. These would be user dependent choices, not my choices, so I cannot hard code in a simple select case type thing. I have played around with a separate program just to understand how to ...Show All

  I have an application in which I create a texture to later write directly into. It works fine on my development machine, but on the target machine it fails with A first chance exception of type "microsoft.directx.diretct3d.invalidcallexception" occured. The code looks like this texture = new Texture (renderer.Device, 720, 576, 0, Usage .None, Format .A8R8G8B8, Pool .Managed); The pixelformat is the same as the device. I have tried with sizes which are a power of two and other memory pools as well as other usage modes. Allways the same error pops up.

• Visual Studio Express Editions index out of range error with StringCollection

  I have this error that only started occurring after I published the application.  It didn't happen when I was just debugging.  I've read that there is some bug with the StringCollection where you can't have a null string collection and then add a string to it later, so I came up with a way to handle that.  I'm getting an "index out of range" error with this though, and it has to be in my Form1_Load event, since it happens when the form first comes up.  I've looked through this and I don't know how to fix it.  Any help would be appreciated.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word 2003 - Insert XML data around a table row(s)

  I'm currently using word 2003 to markup word documents with xml from a custom schema. What I need to do is put one of my custom xml tags around a table row or rows but can't seem to figure out how to do this. Basically, when the document is saved as xml, It would need to look like this around selected table rows so they can be post processed. <ns0:my_tag><w:tr>...</w:tr></ns0:my_tag> I looked at placing an xml tag in the first table cell and programatically trying to find the parent <w:tr> node, but either you can not access word xml elements at design time or I am doing something wrong.

For this new version to be useful to me, I need to be able to import a bunch of macros from my VS 2002 setup. Does anyone know what I'm missing here Do I need to install something else. TIA guess what, a constant nagging that you're missing out on something great is a good way to entice you to buy the full product.

  Hi It's been a while since I've done any VB programming, and I need to get back in to it for work purposes. I've quite a bit of experience at VB 6 programming and have lots of code and examples that I need to use again. Is the latest VB development package backwards compatible with VB6 I'm sure all of these questions have already been answered so appologies for that.
