• Visual Basic How to get Stings of 8 bit Chars from Comm Port

  I am using an MSDN RS232 sample VB code in VSTS2005 to read and write from/to the Com1 port. But the example uses System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.GetString which only handles 7-bit ASCII characters, not 8-bit. I don't see any Encoding format that will return strings of simple 8 bit bytes of characters from the Serial port unmodified. What Encoding code can I use for simple strings of 8-bit bytes so that I can handle 8-bit binary data from the COM1 port properly How can I convert Byte Array into Strings of 8 bit characters Thanks for your Help.

• Visual Studio Orchestration Features

  Hi Gareth, Thanks for your response to the text templating query. Can you please provide an overview of what the is planned to be included in the orchestration feature area Cheers Susan As program manager specifying these features, Gareth asked me to respond to this.

For example templates can be chained, so that the output of one template may provide the input to another; the order in which templates are applied matters. In addition, the same template ...Show All

• Visual Studio CR - VS.NET 2005 - Selecting the Printer

  Hello, I'm trying to have a report print to a designated printer. My code is as follows: Print rptDoc as ReportDocument .. Some Code for Report Selection .. rptDoc.PrintToPrinter(iCopies, Collate, 0, 999999)   The code works fine except for the fact that it prints to the default printer. Basically what I want is to show a printer dialog box and then print to the selected printer. Right now to achieve this, I have to preview the report and then the user needs to click on the Print icon which in turn shows the printer dialog. Hopefully this makes sense. I've been working on something for the past 20 hours. I'm beat and beginning ...Show All
