• Visual Basic Control the size of a webform

  This is a real beginners question I would like myForm.aspx to open maximized when it loads Also if you can do that then how do you resize the form I thought it should be something like me.size=new size(1092,768) or something but I can find no such property or attribute called size for a webform. Seems like this should be an easy thing to do.  Win Form is what something like: Forms.myForm.windowstate=maximized or something like it... So all that being asked what I'm really looking for is the equivalent line of code to cause this same behaivor using a WebForm Thanks for your help, Rick This really isn't a VB.Net question, per say ...Show All

• .NET Development need basic help with IRC bot

  I've been looking online for a few days and asking around, but I can't seem to find answers.  I've been trying to make an IRC bot for my server using VB .NET.  What I've tried has only worked partially, and I can't figure out why.  I'm getting partially connected, since I am seeing one variable being equal to "*** Found your hostname".  However, when I first connect using mIRC, it sends me that notice, and this one together: "*** If you are having problems connecting due to ping timeouts, please type /quote pong 485C3537 or /raw pong 485C3537 now." The connection with mIRC doesn't have to send it anything else to ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System modifying task template for existing project

  I need to make Start Date and End Date fields in Task editable. For this I can download the process template, remove "ReadOnly" attributes for the fields in task.xml and upload the template. The problem is that the new setting will apply to new projects only. Is there any way to apply it to the existing project Yes, you can use "Witimport.exe" located in the %installdrive%\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE folder. ...Show All

• .NET Development Removing Unwanted Spaces on a table query

  VS2005 creates table adaptors automatically as their own controls for your tables in your dataset that you plan to use, but by default, it grabs all of the table that you have in your datasource. So if you have a field called "First_Name" at 20 characters, you're going to get this as a result "Sam                 " Is there an easy way to rectifiy this, so you just get "Sam" as a result on your datatable I know in SQL you can use the RTRIM() function, but this involves going into your Dataset.Designer.vb and manually change VS generated code. I can see the SQL ...Show All

• Visual Basic Static function bug?

  Lets say you create a static function under namespace A and inside class B (in C++/CLI as a part of a managed wrapper). Then I call this static function: Imports A ... Dim d1 As New MY_DATE() d1.nYear = 2010 d1.nMonth = 5 d1.nDay = 23 Dim strDate As String B.DateToString(d1, strDate) Doing so gives a warning: warning BC42025: Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated. This is weird because I am not using an instance but the class itself. However if I write it out with namespace the warning goes away: A.B.DateToString(d1, strDate) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Not loading the MS Word add-in

  Problem We're trying to make MS Word add-in with Visual Studio 2005. The add-in is written as a DLL in C# and is targeted at MS-Office XP and MS-Office 2003. The task of the add-in is to show a menu that will lead to forms based application. The add-in loads ok on one particular development after it is registered and added-in by visual studio; but the add-in does not load on any other system-- including other development systems where the add-in's project was compiled. Investigation Using registry monitoring tools; we see, that on system other than the development system, MS-Word reads the registry, readi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem populating table with a SQL Cursor from VB GUI

  Hi all I have a store proc that that does various bits of data manipulation, but the last part I have used a cursor to update 2 fields in a table.  This sp is called by a VB front end and then the contents of the table in question displayed in a Crystal Report. The problem is, if I run the sp directly (within VB's Server Explorer) these 2 fields are always fully populated.  If however I call the sp from within code in a GUI, after each call (which should fully populate the table based on certain criteria) the 2 fields become less populated.  What I mean by this is on the 1st call the 2 fields are 100% populated, with each su ...Show All

• SQL Server some guidance for an SSIS newbie wanted

  Hi! I'm new to SSIS (and quite new to SQL Server). I have a process which I'd like to automize via SSIS - just don't know how and couldn't figure it out yet by playing around with the program. Shouldn't be too difficult though. First of all, that's the process as I do it now: 1) Load several flatfile sources (dumps of SQL tables) into an SQL database. 2) Add identifier rows (to some tables), set the primary and foreign keys so the database is "recreated" and I can work on it. 3) Do several simple transformations, aggregations and selects across tables and finally write a new table containing information for reporting stuff. I succe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Authentication problems using SSL.

  I'm trying to install a Team Foundation for use over the Internet, with the assumption that clients will not be members of the Team Foundation Server's domain.  In order to reduce the Server's attack surface, my goal is to expose the Server as an IP address only, and require clients to connect to the Server using SSL, client certificates, and an arbitrary port.  For example, the Server path might look like:     https://1.2.3.4:5/ My infrastructure consists of an offline root CA, a domain controller, and the single-deployment Team Foundation Server.  I imported the root CA certificate into the domain c ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Project and Report Designer

  When we want to create reports for report server, we create a report project in Visual Studio.  However, is it possible to add a report project as a sub-project or a nested project in a Visual Studio solution   Does it matter Thanks! Yes, it's an end-user designer. I've seen report builder but that can only be used with data source models, and we're writing our own data extension. Basically we'll have to create a basic RDL file and then let the user edit that on their own with designer. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Database error when running program on a different machine
