You could add a Module and place a function in here which you will be able to access from any of the forms in the problems Function FirstWord(TextString   as string ) as string Dim firstWordInString As String = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Match( TextString , "^\w+\b").Value Return firstWordInString End Function   Or instead of a module you could use a class and set this as a shared method.   Ach ...Show All

• Visual Basic "Undo operation on a component context threw an exception"

  I have been developing an application with Visual Basic and I have been recieving this error more and more. It seems, according to the bug report, to occur most frequently with asynchronous callbacks. I am wondering if anyone has any further information on this error. The resolution in the bug report does not work - even with my async code with the workaround, I get the exception. As stated in other threads , this is not an easy error to debug because the debugger cannot give any information about the exception or what caused it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've the same problem. Same code works ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Use custom attribute to execute some actions

  Hello All ! I have some questions on attributes. I would like to be able to tag my method so they can behave specially. For example I would have imagined to do something like [TestMethod] [UseDataSource("myConnectionString", "my Dataset file")] public void TestDataSource() {     //do some testing }   I have imagined that so my test code contains only what I am testing and some attributes is specifying which data it has to use in DB. But to make it wokr correctly, I need a way to get some other code being executed when my method is called. So is there a way to have a special method in my attribute to be calle ...Show All

• SQL Server Capturing and reporting execution errors

  We have a report subscription that emails an excel file every morning at 11am. For the past two mornings the subscription fails due to one of the parameters being null. This was caused by another programmer changing a stored procedure used in the report. What I'd like to know is how can I capture and report that the report failed to be produced. I have loaded the Execution Log sample reports and the relevant DTS package to load the logs is run every 5 mins. However, this error does not show up in the reports. The entries in the Report Server log file are as follows, ReportingServicesService!dbpolling!25a4!17/08/2005-11:00:12:: EventPol ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem Drawing to Desktop DC

  When I create a DC by calling CreateDC(L"DISPLAY",NULL,NULL,NULL), what I draw disappears very quickly. This did not happen until I installed build 5219. It continues to happen in build 5231. This makes a technique used to draw tooltips not work. It does not happen under remote desktop, just on the local screen. Any ideas on when this might be fixed CreateDC(L"DISPLAY",NULL,NULL,NULL), means getting a screen DC. This is incompatible with how the new desktop composition system in Windows Vista works. A reasonable workaround is to create window and then set style bits to make it not have a frame, use a layered window instead. ...Show All
