• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 scripting stored procedures

• Visual Basic Size in bytes of a boolean

  How do I get the size, in bytes, of a boolean variable It appears to be a single (1) byte by empirical testing, but the documentation seems to imply that it depends upon the 'implementing platform'. (for example, an IntPtr has a size property, which returns the size of the pointer in bytes).   ROFL!!! Someone's going to hate you in the morning.   ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataBinding Occurs multiple times on WinForm

  Hello - I have a UserControl with some GUI elements (checkboxes, textboxes, etc). The GUI controls' properties are set via simple binding, i.e. some of the GUI controls' properties are bound to columns in a DataTable. When I make the UserControl visible, my data-bound properties are being set multiple times (4 times for every single data-bound property). I know this because I put in a breakpoint in the SET area of each data-bound proper ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Obtaining a web page's title

  I'd like to get the titles of web pages, and would prefer not to do this by loading all the web pages into a webbrowser, because that seems a bit heavy handed.

Here's the code I'm trying: Module Module2 Private Const INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD = &H80000000 Private Declare Auto Function InternetOpenUrl Lib "wininet" Alia ...Show All
