• Windows Forms How to populate a listview?

  Please help, i want to populate my listview from a datasource, how do i do that all i can find in the web is adding single listitems and subitems, i'd appreciate any help. and also, deleting multiple items.. thanks in advance. Just iterate through your DataSource (i.e., DataTable), and inside the loop, apply the same method you found in the web in adding ListItem (SubItem) in your ListView. As for deleting multiple items, you need to loop through your LitViewItems (Items property) backward, and delete the item you want using the Items.Remove or Items.RemoveAt methods.

• Visual Basic IE browser help object

  I am new to vb .net and am trying to create a simple widows form that will display a message each time Internet Explorer is launched. I have the form create but don't know how to save as a dll file or register it. Can anyone help me find some sample code or instrucitons that will help   I think you need to say more about your design. To save a DLL file you create a Class library project and build it. After writing and debugging, be sure change the configuration manager Release. To register it, use regasm.exe in %windir%/\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 %Windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe YourDl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changing transition rules, only reason to be changed

  Here is the scenario: Person A opens a new Bug (State: Active , Reason: New) and assigns to Person B(Bug Manager) and Saves Person B(Bug Manager) wants to reassign this to Person C. We want the State to be Active and Reason set to Reassigned (custom) Im unable to create a transition rule of Active to Active. Is there a way to do this I could only do it by creating another state Active2 with Reason of Reassigned. Thanks, Staffan We cannot have 'Active' ->'Active' transition. If the State is changed then only it is considered as a transition. Here in this case, the field value f ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 16 channel Real Time signal rendering: Should I go gor DirectX?

  I'm refurbrishing an old VB6 application that displays up to 16 signals, at 100 samples per second, along with some icons on the screen. The user decides on the on-screen resolution by means of a zoom function key. Now in the design phase, I need some more information to decide on taking Direct-X or GDI+ path. I've been going through several sample applications, and so far, I've got the feeling that Direct-X is suited to heavily drive the graphics processor in order to render very fast moving sprites and meshes. Instead, GDI+ is a more generic interface layer in between the old API's and the application. Not as efficient as Direct-X. ...Show All

• Visual C# All Access Variable?

  Im new to C# with Windows apps, so please bare with me. I've got an app that requires a user to login.  If their login is successful, then it retrieves their 'AccessLevel' from the DB.  I'd like to be able to access this information from ANY of my forms because their access level will determine how their window is laid out for them.

• Visual Basic Launch VB Program Instead of Default Browser

  Is there any way to make Windows call a VB program instead of the default Internet browser What I want to do is to use a VB program with buttons down the left-hand side that when clicked will launch that URL in the browser windows of the form. This will prevent users from surfing in places they shouldn't but still allow them to get to the sites they need to get to for their jobs. These buttons could also change based on the username of the person launching the program. But it all depends on being able to call this program in place of the browser when they click on a link in a email or somewhere else. Thanks for the help, Jim ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Dialog in win32 environment

  Hi I am developping an application targeted for Smartphone 2005. I want to include a dialog form with textfields I can set values or get values from. I used to do that pretty easily for PocketPC and MFC as you can wrap dialog with a class, which wraps dialog elements with variables. Now I can't use MFCs under Smartphone 2005 so I have to use only win32 APIs. I just don't know how you wrap a dialog with a class and if it's possible. Are there other means to achieve that Thanks Hi, I didn't understand "Now I can't use MFCs under Smartphone 2005 ...", can you please elaborate on that VS2005 supports development on both PPC ...Show All
