• Visual Studio Express Editions New VB user questions

  I am an experienced programmer in QB but new to VB. I have VB 2005 Express and am trying to get up to speed. For a learning project, I have a simple Windows form that calculates a Cylinder volume. The form has labels and test boxes for input, a results box, and 3 buttons (Calculate, Next, and Exit). Functionally, all works correctly so far. Question 1 - How do I set up to use keyboard navigation for data entry going to the next field or button The TAB key will jump to the next field, but not trigger a mouse click. The Enter key does not do anything. Question 2 - How can I cause a jump to a desired field on a data entry error such a ...Show All

• Visual Studio msbuild and Visual Studio Project Templates

  Hello, I'm starting to work in a case that requires one solution with multiple projects. All projects share a common set of settings that includes: version, sign key file, configurations (debug, release, test...) and some other assembly level attributes. Since the solution includes several projects, I would like to create a project template in Visual Studio, based on a custom project that I made. The problem is that the custom project must include references to my custom centralized targets file, and I can't find a way to avoid the use of full paths in the template. I'm aware that I can use AssemblyInfoTask to set some of the settings, but t ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat file source not option for importing data

  I was getting the product error associated with the full version of SSIS not installed so I ran the installation again and selected the Integration Services check box. Now when attempting to import data into a database, the drop down list doesn't have a flat file option. How do I import data from a txt, csv file Thanks PatrickCrofoot@hotmail.com I have. And no.. Simply using SQL Server Management Studio and right clicking my db then choosing import data under tasks. There is no Flat File datasource. So the other route was to attempt the tutorial via integration services. That's when I get t ...Show All

  Hi everyone, I'm getting a security threat related to giving DACL rights to "Everyone", for example while creating mutex- when I run my code through Application Verifier, even though I have removed the "Everyone" access completely from the code.

• Visual C++ Native Code and Relocatable Memory Blocks

  Although I have found the new extensions to C++ in the 2005 beta to be thoughtfully designed, I am thinking about using old code.  I don't (usually) need automatic garbage collection but I would like to have relocatable blocks of memory in the application heap.  Is there an Easy way to use the OS to move blocks of memory that are allocated using "new"   Or alternatively, is there a Simple way that I can use gcnew to dynamically allocate blocks of memory that could then be accessed as if they were dynamicly allocated native arrays (similar to those that can be allocated with new)   I cannot fi ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO.net DataAccess time SLOW

  Unless I am doing something very wrong, it seems that the ADO.net dataaccess time,IE retrieving a record is extremly slow compared to Classic ADO. Now it takes between 1 and 2 seconds to retrieve the data from the Remote database (Access). Because of needing update data when I select a serial number, I presume and currently use direct access to the remote database. I load a combobox with all my serial Numbers, Currently 15,000 . Then when I click on a SN, the program does a query on the ADO.net dataadapter, retrieves the current record. this take almost 2 seconds. Classic was almost instantly. Am I doing something wrong.
