• Visual Basic Add text to a text box from a module

  I'm upgrading a program I wrote in VB6 to VB2005 and am having a problem with updating a text box. I have a module that manages serial port communications. When data is received in the serial port buffer, it should update a text box (txtSerialIn) on a form (frmSerialInOut). Here's the code: Public Sub Handler( ByVal strInMessage As String ) frmSerialInOut.txtSerialIn.Text = strRXData & vbCrLf & frmSerialInOut.txtSerialIn.Text End Sub The text box is not updating with the text that the variable strRXData contains (checked!). This worked fine in VB6. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Import Existing Pages

  I want to create a new ASP NET 2.0 (VB) project that will (hopefully) use code (both HTML and VB) from some old asp and aspx pages as a starting point. What is the best way to accomplish this e.g. should I create a new page in VWD and then copy/past the code I want to use inline code (no code-behind pages) Thanks for any advice. Hi Wayne, You should be able to open the ASPX or ASP pages directly in Visual Web Developer.  You can either do this by opening pages individually using File > Open File, or you can open a folder and edit pages in it using File > Open Website. Hope this helps. Omar (msft) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Adding button to an API dialog?

  Is there a way in VB to add a button onto an API dialog box (more specifically DoOrganizeFavDlg) and tap into the dialog's events If that's not possible, can anybody point me to some VB code that approximates the functionality of the DoOrganizeFavDlg API call It may or may not be possible.

• SQL Server Problem with Failure Constraint

  Hi, As part of my SSIS package I have a script task, that set its result based on the value of a package variable. From this task I have two precedence constraints, a sucess constrain and failure constraint that lead to two different tasks. When the script task ends with a success result, the task that is connected by the success constraint is initiated, but when the script task ends with a failure result, it is marked with red color and the execution of the whole package stops (the next task that is connected by the failure constraint is not initiated). All tasks are assigned with False to the properties: FailPackageOnFailure & ...Show All
