• .NET Development Write Text File with the same Culture

  Hi, I developed a windows form application which writes a txt files with portuguese words with accents. The applications was developed in Windows XP in english and it writes the file correctly. But, when it runs in Windows 2000 Portuguese, the portuguese words have the accents changed to ascii simbols. How to fix it Regards, Marcelo. You need to install the font file in the machine under %System32%\fonts. You probably got the font installed in the first machine with the installation of some application or by enabling some language package but if you don't know you could copy the font file from one machine to the other. ...Show All

  I am currently developing a C# distributed system with multiple clients and one central server.  I am coding with .net studio 2005.    One client application is running on a Pocket PC having a wireless network card.

• Visual Basic Data Sources Window DBConcurrencyException

  Hi,   In our projects we create central classes for manipulating databases (connections, updating, …). We also created a public procedure for updating SQL-dataadapters who are able to treat " DBConcurrencyException. We not only use the merge procedure to enable the system to accept our changes, but we also test if another user has changed field(s) we didn’t change. So we accept his changes and merge it with our changes. We had to write this procedure because we didn’t find a method in VS2005 (nor in older versions) to do this job for us. Maybe there is one   But my principal question is another. In VS2 ...Show All

  Hey guys, I'm thinking about writing an application that will convert html to pdf and vise versa and I have a few questions if you don't mind. 1) Is VB.NET a good choice for such a project I can do C++ or Java if it's more reasonable. 2) What exactly should I look up I'm guessing I'll have to use a third party component for this, so please point me to one if needed.

• Visual Basic Is there a toolbar with bookmarks?

  I had to navigate through lengthy menus to toggle bookmarks so I thought I would add a toolbar for easy access. However, adding a toolbar proved to be an even lengthier process than toggling bookmarks! I checked a few likely suspects among the plethora of toolbars without success. Does anyone know which toolbar contains bookmarks Better yet, does anyone know of an easy way to figure out which specific menu item belongs to which specific toolbar Trying to find a menu item on a toolbar is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Am I missing something or is MS making me work to hard for something so simple ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro editbox programmatic change

  I am looking for an easy way to determine if I've made interactive change in an editor box. The issue is that there are about 16 controls on a container, they are initialized from a table record thus their values at activate time generally are not trivial default. I have to save the changes with a SAVE button if I made any but I want this button's click method to quickly determine which control values have been changed. I do not want to do REPLACE for the fields with values that haven't been changed. In case of simple controls like a combobox I can store the initial value in Tag property and do the comparison programmatically. Sometimes t ...Show All
