• Visual Basic Tabbed Browsing in VB .Net

  Hi, I have a question regarding tabbed browsing. I am writing my own custom web browser in vb .net studio 2005. I can create, dynamically at runtime, additonal tabs on a tab control, which will - in each - have a dedicated webbrowser control. So what will happen is 5 search engines will be searched and the results be placed in seperate webbrowsers under 5 dynamically-created tabs. The user can then tab throw each set of results. The pro ...Show All

• SQL Server SetDefaultInitFields "TextBody" for Stored Procedure

  Following the suggestion in Michael Wories column, have found really nice performance optimization using SetDefaultInitFields (in my case, for the datatype parameter of columns). Tried to use SetDefaultInitFields for the "TextBody" parameter of Stored Procedures, and I get an error saying that "TextBody" is not a valid property for a StoredProcedure. Any thoughts on what might be the issue Thanks! Andy B ...Show All

• Visual Basic Programming Challenge since u re great guy

  For this challenge, you'll need to write an algorithm to find your way from one corner of a field to another as fast as possible. You will be given a starting point and an ending point, and you'll need to tell us how long it will take you to get from start to finish. The field is a grid, and you can only move up, down, left and right. Each move of one grid square takes 1 second. Unfortunately, there's also walls in the way.....the rest is her ...Show All

• SQL Server XMLA and Deadlocks

  I have tested this on the RTM, SP1 and SP1+hotfixes and the problem is the same in all environments. What I am doing is using the "Analysis Services Execute DDL Task" in an SSIS package to execute different XMLA files. These files drop items in Analysis Services and then recreates them. What is happening is that in about one out of three times the package will hang at some stage in the process of running the files, Analysis Services be ...Show All

• .NET Development Project Save/Load

  In my project, the user has the ability to save the work he has done to a file.   As the project got bigger so did the information in the file and I ended up with multiple type of file and version.   I wanted to know if there is a 'good practice' involving saving and loading file (multiple type [txt, xml], multiple version).   My business class must not know that there are multiple file versions.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TypeNamesShouldNotMatchNamespaces AKA CA1724

  This rule seems overly constraining. With namespaces (and the advent of the global namespace in C#) and some of the names of the nested namespaces in the FX, it seems to me this rule will generate much noise (e.g. the following nested FX namespaces are really general and could apply to many different projects/applications: Common, Services, Collections, Design, Util, Resources, IO, Configuration, Internal). "Design" is a nested fram ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Request

  For the next CTP PLEASE provide a way to disable Cider. The designer is sufficiently broken when working with real files that it is far more trouble than it is worth. The flood of errors it generates completely obscures the real errors in a build. I just had it take 2 minutes to simply decide it could not handle my main window. Until it is more stable and probably more performant please either provide the VS enhancements separate form Cider, or ...Show All
