• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting files with specific extensions using FolderBrowserDialog

  Hi everyone. I'm making a media player using the BASS API Library and Direct-X. My problem is, I'm using the FolderBrowserDialog component and I know it can't filter files but I need only files with specific extensions to be added to the Listbox I have on the form. So far the code looks like this: Public Sub foldertoplaylist() Dim plug As Integer = 2 Dim playlistid3 As String Dim chosen As String Dim filInfo As IO.FileInfo AddFolder.Description = "Choose the folder you would like to add to Tray-Play" If addfolder.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then ...Show All

• .NET Development '\0' in xml string

  hi i am reading an xml document from a string which i receive bytewise from the network. the string is assembled out of char like that s\0e\0n\0d\0 for "send" for example. i really don't know how the '\0' came in there, but so far they didn't bother me. but no with an xmldocument they do. if i try to load the string with either document.LoadXml(string) or document.innerXml = string then i get an exception saying "name cannot begin with '.' character, line 1, position 2", so there seems to be a '.' right where the \0 is in the string (so my assumption is that \0 stands for a '.', but i am really not that good at this chara ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't Install and can't uninstall old

  I really want to get beta 2 to work. I get it up but it doesn't work. The first thing I see is "Can not Find Server" where the Getting Started page is supposed to be. I tried to remove all the old beta bits in the correct order but I think I did something wrong. And now I no longer have a option in the "Add remove programs". I thought I saw a version demoed on MSDN Webcasts where there is more of a pannel type thing with Recent projects etc. I don't know why that would be part of a htm page. It is trying to access "C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%208\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress\HTML\GettingStarted.htm". But I don't see a HTML Direc ...Show All

• Visual Basic Installing Visual Basic 6.0 on .NET Server with VB .NET installed

  I'd like to know if there are any issues involved with installing Visual Basic 6.0 on a Windows Server 2003 server with VB .NET installed. Thank you. No need to worry - there is no way that .NET can cause VB 6 applications to fail. Many developers have been running both VB 6 and .NET on the same computer for several years now, and I'm not aware of any reports of problems. - Steve ...Show All

• SQL Server Mining Query Builder

  On pages 123, 124 of Data Mining with SQL Server 2005, I can't finish the example. When I add 'Monthly' to the end of the expression "[Home Owners].[Theater Freq]" in the Criteria/Argument column, I usually get an error message saying the syntax is incorrect when I switch to the Results view. If I place a dot after the original expression, like this: [Home Owners].[Theater Freq].Monthly, I get an error message that "The dot expression is not allowed in the context at line 4, column 23. Use sub-SELECT instead." What am I doing wrong Thanks! Try formating your query as SELECT t.CustomerID, [Movie Trees].[Theater ...Show All

• SQL Server best approach

  I've been banging my head for a while now, and it is sore! :-P I'm a best practice/Microsoft approach type of person and want to make sure I do things correctly. I have a database, kind of like a forum. Obviously executing multiple queries in one "batch" (stored proc) would have an impact on the performance. Now, I would like to give a more detailed/specific error back to the caller (either by aid of error code or whatever) with such situations like...

• Visual Studio Crash with Different Bucket ID: 291424876.

  Thought I'd start a new thread, since I'm using Visual C# Express, rather than full VS2005. Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2003 Pro, SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition, Visual C# Express, Visual Web Developer Express, SQL Express 2005, MSDE. I also have Virtual Server 2005 SP1 beta installed. Problem just started this weekend. Whenever I click on any topic in the Index, Document Explorer crashes. I've tried Repair on Visual C# Express, Visual Web Developer Express and MSDN 2005 Express. Same problem. It was working fine last week, I'm not sure what's changed. I have previously had VS2005 beta2 installed, but I removed that by following the ...Show All
