• Windows Forms DesignVision -- Formats

  Does anyone know how to decode embroidery formats, so they can be viewed inside of fotovision. I have made several attempts, can not find help anywhere. Frustrated. Insight from anyone would be helpful.   I have only found the format .dst in cp ...Show All

• Visual C++ What happened to the debugger?

  Maybe it's just my memory that is playing tricks on me again, but I seem to recall that this worked the way I wanted it to in Beta 1. When I debug things and look at variables, their types are expanded so that they look different from in the source, e.g. instead of NET_API_STATUS I see unsigned long and instead of HINSTANCE I see __HINSTANCE* and so on. There are expansions that are a lot worse, but I don't have them in front of me right now. Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions activex control in C#

  I am using an activex control with C# (compiled with VB6).....works a little too well. The control itself uses another activex control as well as a .dll. In the VB IDE all is well.... With C#...a method in the control will always fire twice! The control itself saves text to a file. If it saves "a"...it will be "aa". weird. Sorry about that muddied explanation. Yes that "hack" did solve the problem. If I use the compiled ocx (the one "embedd ...Show All

• .NET Development WebService inheritance+WSDL

  I got some classes which I use as return types for web methods - works all fine - but the WSDL of the web service reflects too much of the structure in my opinion like inheritance which is visible trough the extension base. Is there a way to "flatten" the structure described by the WSDL So that something like Class A with property PA Class B inherits from class A with addition property PB (where class B is used as a return type f ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista sub flow, dynamic flow , and flow injection

  Hi there , I'm a bit new for WWF,but I guess the problems we are facing today in BizTalk flow also apply here 1. How to call a subflow from a parent flow. Bear in mind that flow itself quite possible is a reusable resource. 2. When certain things happens, I want to dynamically skip/add the steps in the flow. I know I could code all these using ifthenelse activity , But I'd rather prefer a cleaner implementation 3. One typical business ...Show All

  Hi All, I have written a stored procedure which has multiple SELECT statement. So it is supposed to return multiple tables of rows.

• Windows Forms How do I assign a form's icon from an imagelist image?

  What if you wanted to set the form icon from the imagelist No matter what I try I get system.drawing.image cannot be converted to system.drawing.icon. The image in the list is an icon. Thanks You can't. When an icon gets added to an image list it gets converted to an image. It is better to add the icon to a resource file or as an embbedded resource and then set it to the form's icon. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unable to Close Serial Port after USB/Serial Converter Disconnected

  I have a stand alone VB.Net 2005 application that uses a serial port that generally stays open while the application runs on a Windows XP system. In trying to bullet-proof the UI, I ran into a problem when the USB to Serial Converter normally used to provide the serial port is disconnected while the serial port is open. In trying to handle the resulting error when accessing the port, I find I cannot close the port. When trying to do so, the erro ...Show All
