• Visual Studio Express Editions system hangs?

  A search for related questions, etc. turns up nothing useful. Some time after installing MS VB 2005 Express Edition, my system started freezing up, requiring a cold boot every few minutes. So I uninstalled using the recommended tool. My system recovered 100%: no more freezing. Then I reinstalled. For now, things seem to go all right. My question, before it is too late to ask: how can I as a user _document_ these system hang-ups I ch ...Show All

• .NET Development Beta2 Documentation

  Hi all, I can't seem to find the .doc files (e.g. Unmanaged Metadata, Hosting I/Fs, Profiling, etc) in the BETA2 distribution.  I did notice that the unmanaged API's are "somewhat" documented in the MSDN online documentation, but not complete. It would be nice to have the full blown word docs for the unmanaged API's as they are more complete. Anyway I can get them   Are they online someplace Dave.NET ...Show All

  Hi, I am using VB.Net 2.0 and have connected to Microsoft Access but having trouble running a query as it uses * as a wildcard, but when I run it in .Net it returns nothing as needs to have %. The solutions I can think of are: 1) If I was able to extract out the actual SQL string from the MS Access query from my code then I could do a Replace("*", "%") then would work - but don't know how to extract the SQL string. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Enumeration of My.Resources

  Hi! I am looking for a way to enumerate resources programmatically. I have found a way in the .NET 1.1-style (which I present here), but I would like to make use of the functionality of .NET 2.0.
