• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing from VB Express

  I have come across several posts indicating that it is nearly impossible to print documents, much less interact with Word, when using Visual Basic Express. Is this true If so, will this functionality ever be included or will I have to either purchase Visual Studio or learn another language While not impossible to print in VB 2005 ( this includes the Express Edition too) it takes a bit of work to get the results you want. There are a lot of printing capabilities in VB 2005, but, you need to do some reading to maximize your results. Doing a Google Search in the Groups section will find a lot of info on print ...Show All

• Visual C++ visual studio 2005 recompiles all

  Hi, I just installed Visual Studio 2005 (on an XP64). Visual Studio 2005 recompiles all files in the project everytime, regardless whether changes were made or not. I browsed through all options, but can't find anything related to this. Minimal rebuild doesn't do it. Is there something I'm missing Thanks. Thank you for the suggestion. However I started trying out things and the problem goes away when I set the "Program Database File Name" back to the default $(IntDir) in the project. So I don't think the problem is caused by Perforce or source file timestamps, but it seems the problem is caused by pdb file generation. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change cell font in a DataGridView control?

  My task is to display a number of fonts in a list. This list will be scrollable, and each font name will be shown in its own font face. On my form, I have two DataGridView controls. The first DataGridView gets a list of all system fonts and their filenames (well, just the font names for now, as I cannot find how to display the filenames! - if anyone knows, that would help!) and the second DataGridView displays the list of font names again, but formatted to display in their own typeface. Well, that's the intention. Here is some of my code: ---------- Dim i As FontFamily For Each i In System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families ' Data Gr ...Show All

• Visual C# FileSystemWatcher hell... stops watching after event

  I created a FileSystemWatcher object to watch for newly created files. Once a file is created, the FileCreated() method is called through the FileWatcher event handler. Problem is, after this happens, FileWatcher doesnt seem to listen anymore. I have to create a new FileWatcher every time the event is fired and the method completes. Below is my code. This is a seperate class from the Main class. From the Main, I call this class to set up and create the FileWatcher. I have tried to put the new FileSystemWatcher() in the MAIN class, but it stil quits listening after event. I also caled this watcher.WaitForChanged( WatcherChangeTypes .Created) ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing SQL Server 2005 Express edition

  I'm trying to install the latest SQL Server Express downloaded from Microsoft. I've followed all instructions on the download page but get the message concerning Incompatible Components being found on my machine. To my knowledge I have never installed any previous components from any betas or other previous versions. Nor have I had a previous version of .Net Framework 2.0 on my machine. Just in case, I've checked Add/Remove Programs and run the removal tool as recommended on the Microsoft site. The tool reports that it can't find any components! If I knew what to look for I'd go through the Registry to manually uninstall any problem keys. Th ...Show All

• .NET Development Sending out messages from a .net app to Pda's - advice

  hi all, im researching some methods to distribute jobs to a small army of people across Canada and was wondering if anyone had some tips to help me along. My main question is, how (and what software / hardware) would i need to equip every person with a PDA and be able to send out messages (via Email i suppose) to the PDA's with scheduled jobs the people have to go on. A couple of things though: 1. I want the message to be delivered to the PDA without the user having to check email, press some sort of Send / Receive. Almost like a Pager. AS long as its on and they have some sort of wireless connection it should send the message an ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Clarification about Scheduler services and Workflow Hosts

  Hi there... I have some questions about the scheduler services and workflow hosts. I'm building a WF application using a State Machine workflow and ASP.NET. I' ve read few times that is better use the ManualWorkflowSchedulerService than the DefaultWorkflowScheduler service. I know the differences between them, the first one donate a thread where the workflows instance will be run, this means the workflow instance is synchronous with the Host. DefaultWorkflowScheduler service it's different, creates threads for the workflow instances, this means the workflow host is asynchronous with the host. If my host  ...Show All

  I made a CComboBox in resource editor and added list of items separated with semicolons.

Currently, there is no size set at all, so the line appears. ...Show All
