• Visual Basic vb6 to VB.Net upgrading Sub Main() error

  Hi everyone.. thanks for taking a peek on my thread. Im upgrading a VB6 application. On its sub main, after it finishes, keeps jumping to other control on different forms. Is there a way to make my project to still go through code just the way VB6 does Sup cgraus.. No.. thats not what I meant. What I tried to say its that in VB6, my application once it finishes the Sub main(), it keeps working with other forms. I understand that in VB6, all forms need to be destroyed so that the application can end. In vb.net after finishing the Sub main, it finishes automatically all the application. How can I handle my code in order to keep workin ...Show All

• .NET Development How To Easily Change Connection To Access Database Created Using "Add New Data Source" And Draging Table To Form

  Hello, I created a small application that works, but I want to be able to change the location of the database in a more simplier way. By this, I mean to accomplish this task, I could just delete my dataset, binding source, table adapter, and binding navigator. Next, I would add a new data source and connection to point to the new location of the database. But, this would mean that every time I do this I have to also change properties such as color etc etc etc. So, I'm looking for an easier way to change the location of the database in my application. In addition, I have to hard-code the full path to my dat ...Show All

• Visual C++ the end of binary file

  Hi all, I'm using fstream object to read a binary file, but I don't know if it reachs the end of the file, because the eof() function doesn't work for binary files. I always read one more time from the file. That is to say, if I just write one int value to the file, and then I read it. but as a result, I entered the following loop two times. I know the read() fuction consider EOF as a valid content, but I have no solution. So my problem is how to decide the end of binary files while(!infile.eof()) {     infile.read(...);    // read one int value } Thanks. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development maximize form mobile 5.0

  I have a problem maximizing a form correctly. Everything is coded for a Pocket PC under Windows mobile 5.0. Actually, my forms are maximized. When I click a button on one form, it opens another one (all in maximized mode). The problem is that when I close the actual form and want to come back to the original one, There is that Windows title bar on top that appears and stay there until I click on my window to get focus. We have tried several things, such as the window priorities... Still have that title bar on top when I come back to my form. Could anybody help me clarify that problem.

• Visual C++ project is always 'out of date'

  I recently upgraded a vs 2003 project (standard C++ console application, reasonably complex, links to several libraries including Boost, Blitz++, and fftw). For some reason, since the upgrade, one of the projects in the solution (the startup project in case this is relevant), is always out of date when I do a compile, or run in the debugger. All files in this project are always recompiled, whether any of them have been changed or not.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA runs slowly in Excel 97

  I have a module attached to a button in Excel. The module deletes a number of cells, reads some data stored in a list on a separate sheet and writes some data back to the area deleted, based on criteria in some cells. First time I run it, it runs in seconds. If I run it again it takes minutes. Any ideas I'm thinking it might be due to Excel automatically refreshing or all its calculations on each of the copy your doing, or at least checking if any calculations are required. You can disable this using. Worksheets(1). EnableCalculation = False or Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Cal ...Show All
