• Windows Forms TableLayoutPanel - Runtime resizing

  Does anyone know if it is possible to allow the user to resize Rows & Columns on  a TableLayoutPanel at runtime   Much in the way of a splitter. If you mean via the UI at runtime, no. Programatically, you could set the .Size and .SizeType properties and trigger the update via some control on the form like a NumericUpDown or a ScrollBar. ...Show All

• Windows Forms populating an array via another array

  Does anyone know how i can get the values of an array of bytes to be stored in another array.  The problem is that i am reading from a serial port, which receives each byte separately.  So the array of bytes actually only uses its zero element, as each byte comes in one at a time.  I can't seem to access this element value ...Show All

• .NET Development Help with Reflection and accessing controls on page

  Hi all, I am trying to access a couple of controls on a page via Reflection.  More specifically, I am trying to get and set the value of a textbox using: Dim dispCompInfo As System.Reflection.FieldInfo dispCompInfo = Me .GetType.GetField("txtFirstName", Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | Reflection.bindingflags.Instance) However, I cannot seem to get a return value from any of the Type's "Get..." methods.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong Also, once I get the control, do I need to get it's "Text" property to get and set values in it, or is there another more convenient/clever way to do this Thanks in advance for ...Show All

• Visual C# CodeDomProvider.CreateCompiler - need a replacement.

  I am posting it second time today. For some strange reason the first post disappered after an hour or so. It is about the method: CodeDomProvider.CreateCompiler(). The method appears to be obsolete but it is used in a code sample I have copied from MSDN. There should be a replacement for this method. I would like to know what it is. Thanks. Yeah, thanks again! I think a lot of the confusion is because the error message generated by trying to call CreateCompiler method attempted to say that in "MSSpeak" (which is sometimes analgous to "Greenspanspeak") and all the examples that I found to use CodeDomProvider had calls ...Show All

• Visual Studio RC1 - VSS Admin Password?

  I just installed RC1 VSS. It's seems to have a password in mind and I have no idea in the world what it is. At times it seems to disregard it's password and do what I need to do. But it won't let me change the admin password without know what it was. It's sort of that same old story.... I receive the message - if you've forgotten your password, consult your system administrator. But I am the system administrator :( Hi Renee, If you created a new database, the Admin password is blank (default). Let the 'Old password' field blank in the ChangePassword dialog if you want to set a new password, and only type in 'New Password' and 'Verify' f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder! If I start the team explorer on the server the documents folder is shown correctly. I tried to copy the http-url ( http://[servername]/sites/[Project ]) to an IE on a client and there the sharepoint site is shown without any problems. I did the changes required after installation of Sharepoint Portal Services SP2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/07/478336.aspx ). I think I also configured the users like mentioned in the install guide (TFSInstall-v50926.chm - Manag ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro character fields in .Net showing as blank strings.

  Not sure if this should be in the FoxPro forum, or the C# forum. I have a dBase database, with a table (table1). table1 contains a field (myField) which is a fixed length, 4-character field. With each record this field contains 4 ASCII characters (which were created by converting decimal values into ASCII). Now ... I think that the first 2 or 3 characters are ASCII value 0 (null). Also, some of them contain Extended ASCII codes. My problem the object variable, thisField in my code returns contains an empty text string. I have tried casting it to different types, and have interrogated the field output in every way. Visual Stu ...Show All

  Hi Alls, I try to use some functions like GetServiceHandle, ActivateService to manage service in Mobile 2003 but there is the complier error : error C3861: 'GetServiceHandle': identifier not found The <service.h> is included in project Thanks It seems like the GetServiceHandle API only compiles with the WM 5.0 SDK.

• Windows Forms Printing data from a datagrid/dataset

  Hi all, I've been searching Help/Walkthroughs/Discussion Groups for hours on this and really don't have a definitive approach or way forward... I have a page that displays a datagrid which is filled using a select command query based on user selected criteria. This works fine. Once the datagrid is displayed I need the users to have the option to print the datagrid. Here are the solutions I've found and the problems related to them: 1- Use crystal reports - well I've tried following the Walkthrough in Visual Studio help and it doesn't work because the walkthrough is based on accessing data from a table in an sql database, not a dataset, ...Show All
