• Visual Studio DSL Setup project fails to compile

  I'm looking for help again... This time I'm following the walkthrough for deploying a DSL. It is failing for me when attempting to compile the project. I get a build error: The "WixToolsPath" parameter is not supported by the "FindDslToolsInstallation" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property. I've looked for both those strings in the generated wxs and found nothing useful. Can anyone suggest a fix Thanks, Brian. Hi Brian, Generally, this happens when you have previous CTPs of the DSL tools installed, and haven't uninstalled them ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Copy files between PC->PPC and PPC->PC

  Hi, I’m writing a program that copies any file from PC to PPC and PPC to PC. To do the job I use OpenNetCF Desktop Communication Library and not problems at all, at the moment. My only worry is to get a File Explorer showing the files in the connected PPC so the customer can pick up visually the wanted one. At the moment it is only possible when copying files from PC to PPC, with a normal OpenFileDialog control, but not in the oposite way. Using a FolderBrowserDialog control I can see My Mobile Device icon, but that’s all. If clicked nothing comes up. Somebody has a idea about how to call a File Explorer for the PDA side pr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Serial Port Hex CRC Calculation, help please.

  Hi there, My program creates this output: 0xA0+0xAF+0x01+0xAA+0x6F+0x01 which then I need to add the checksum to the end. E.g. "0xC5+0x5F+0x0C+0x00+0x00=0x130 which is therefore CRC=0x30" << from my manual (but doesn't help me). So: A0+AF+01+AA+6F+01 = 2A6 or 618 as Integer. But I need the answer as a Byte. But byte's only go to 255! No where near 618! So help please in converting this 618 into a CRC Byte, please. Thanks in advance. Also at the end of the program I'd like to get the ID() info back to output to the Serial Port. But this line: Function Calc_CRC( ByRef buff() As Byte , ByVal num_ ...Show All

• Visual Basic invisible textbox - more complex than it sounds

  It have made a custom combo box that uses icons and populates the list in it to that of windows explorer combo box for browsing. Well I would like the user to edit what is in the combo box. But if I change the combo box style so that it can my icon and all other code is disabled. So if I could have a textbox that is invisible but the text isn't. I could easly modify my code to make it look like the explorer bar. But if anyone knows a way I can get around my custom control without disabling the new features I added then that would be great. Thanks in advance! It's not really clear what you have t ...Show All
