• Visual C# Why are the properties in an auto-generated resource file wrapper always "internal"?

  Hi! When I add a resource file to my project the IDE automatically generates a class wrapper. However, all properties are "internal", so there is no way to access the resources from outside the assembly. Is there a way to change the modifiers to "public" The idea is to create a seperate library that contains images for all our projects. How can I achieve this Thanks for your help.

• Visual FoxPro Obtaining a web page's title

  I'd like to get the titles of web pages, and would prefer not to do this by loading all the web pages into a webbrowser, because that seems a bit heavy handed. In VB6 I used some APIs to achieve this, but I'm not having any luck in getting it to work in .net. Here's the code I'm trying: Module Module2 Private Const INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD = &H80000000 Private Declare Auto Function InternetOpenUrl Lib "wininet" Alias "InternetOpenUrlA" ( ByVal hInternetSession As Integer , ByVal lpszUrl As String , ByVal lpszHeaders As String , ByVal dwHeadersLength As Integer , ByVal dwFlags As ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to determine which part of a FlowDocument is visible in a FlowDocumentReader?

  I can't find any way to determine which part of a FlowDocument is currently visible in a FlowDocumentReader. Any ideas You cant do this for a FlowDocumentReader but if you host your content in a FlowDocumentPageViewer then this is possible. bool TryToFindDocumentPosition(FlowDocumentPageViewer fdpv, out TextPointer currentlyVisiblePosition) { ReadOnlyCollection<DocumentPageView> pageViews = fdpv.PageViews; //collection of visible pages in viewer if(pageViews != null && pageViews.Count > 0) { //there may be no visible pages i.e. no layout may have occured DocumentPageView currentVisiblePageView = pag ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Deploying PPC2003 project (coverted to VS2005) in WinCe5.0 device

  My application was developed in vs2003 C# CF1.0 and Sql Server Ce with SQL Server 2000 for synchronization for PPC2003 devices. I am trying to convert that project to VS2005 sothat I can deploy it on Windows Ce5.0 device. The conversion wizard didn't successfully convert the project, it kept throwing the error Compact Framework 1.0 is not installed on the computer even though I had it and I can compile the project in Vs2003.     So I installed VS2005 on other computer and successfully converted the project. But still it didn't give me the option to connect to Ce5.0 device. So I created new Vs2005 project for Ce5.0 devices an ...Show All

• .NET Development One-bit-alteration problem in the using of serial port

  Hi Im using the serial port in my application through the SerialPort class and everything goes fine apparently. I open the serial port in one computer and this computer send an array of 26 bytes whose last 2 bytes are: 0x5E and 0xF9. Ok when the other computer receives the data it receives all of the bytes ok except the last one which,instead of having the 0xF9 value ,has the 0x79 value and i dont know why is this happening. I have realised that 0xf9 is in binary 11111001 and 0x79 is 01111001 (the same with the exception of the first bit) Im using a port with a configuration of one stop bit and without parity and 7 data bits. ...Show All
