• Visual Studio Express Editions Assigning a Picture to a Picture Box Using Variables

  Hi, I'm sure this is pitifully simple, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I want to use variables to both refer to a picture box and to refer to the image assigned to it. For example: PictureBox21.Image = My .Resources.Resources._131 I want to replace the "21" and the "_131" with variables so that I can use a for...next loop to assign a bunch of different bitmaps to a bunch of different picture boxes. I keep getting an error that says "PictureBox is a type and cannot be used as an expression". What's the syntax for doing this Thanks Simple Code ...Show All

• Visual Basic how do I access Picture URLs in my database?

  I am using VB Express windows application, how do I access Picture filenames (relative) in my database I have 13 records in which the last coloumn contains those relative picture filenames. I wish to display the pictures that those locations in a picture box on my form. As a filename is simply a string. I'm unclear on what you really want to do here. Are you saying you have filenames in a database and the actual picture are stored in file locations relative to the location of the database. So if the database was in c:\ and you have a path that if folder\xyz\abc.jpg then you want to retrieve the picture from c:\folder\xyz\abc.jpg ...Show All

• Visual Studio SourceSafe plug-in in Beta2?

  Any of my projects that previously were connected to SourceSafe now generate an exception that the plug-in is unavailable. Sure enough, there are no source control plug-ins installed. Is this something that must be independently installed to access Source Safe Strange that this all worked just fine in Beta1. I have successfully installed Visual Studio Team Suite Beta 2. I still get that error. I am not using Team Project yet so I don't really care about that. Let me know, please! thanks, Darcy ...Show All

• Visual C# Database connection dilemma

  Hi! I have a dilemma concerning connections to databases... Should I open a new connection for each query, OR should I leave the connection open for all queries, and close it at the exit of application  I suppose it is a matter of personal taste... The application in question is a client/server application. From that point of view, I think I should open a new connection for each query, but on the other hand, it's a very small application (only 3 queries)... I would like to hear from you. Thanks! Hi, Closing the connection after each query and re-opening when needed is the be ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro pack table in a grid

  <--- VFP 9 newbie We have a grid on the form that views a table opened exclusively on form init.  The table is called from the grid builder and we want to manipulate it.  Below the grid is a button that is 'suppose' to clear off all items in the table.  On button _click event we select the table, delete all, then pack.  Now the grid is void of the table and grid line.  Futhur reference to that table is now invalid. How do I recall that table back into the grid after that pack command and to view/manipulate the cleared table We found the flaw in our logic.  We should zap ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .XWB file format

  Hi, I need access to the WAV bits. I don't see a runtime interface to access this, so I was thinking I could extract them from the .xwb file. Now the problem is the file format. I see the .xap file format is listed in the docs, but nothing on .xwb. How can I obtain access to the raw WAV bits in XACT Regards. I ran into a problem where I had the incorrect byte-order for the WAVEBANKMINIWAVEFORMAT. format thing that reports those values. Also, the wBitsPerSample is only defined by one bit, so I guess that flag is a defined for either 8 or 16 bits. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 problems converting VS2003 Solution

  I downloaded VS2005 beta 2 and I'm trying to evaluate it to see what kind of work it's going to be converting our 2003 applications over to 2005. My initial conversion compiled, but had a fair number of warnings. Most were solved by editing the LIB environment variable. The others were mostly obsolete forms of some library calls. However when I tried to run it, it died trying to set up the tracing. TextWriterTraceListener(File.C­reate(fixedFileName))); I get an unhandled exception which seems to be saying it can't load System.xml which doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense: {"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Xml, Version=2. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped the adding routine so that the numerical data was now in the second column - the list now was being sorted on the first column (strings). What I want, is either to be able to dictate which column the ...Show All
