• Visual C# Opening a tabControl

  Hi, all. I have created a tabControl, with 3 tab pages. I have created another 3 buttons, each representing the selection to open the 3 tab pages accordingly. So, how should I set the contents of the event handler for the 3 buttons Thanks for any suggestions! Hi. I cant really understand what you're aiming at. If I have understood you correctly...you want whenever button1, for example, is pressed to show tabPage1...button2 to show tabPage2 and so on...or maybe I am wrong! woof ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System AdminProjectRights problem

  While trying to lock a branch down, I changed the permissions for a branch. I unchecked the 'Inherit Security Settings' box, and changed the contributors to only having Read rights. I didnt realize unchecking this box would remove all rights for every other group. Now, I dont have rights to change any other rights. I get an error saying my user needs AdminProjectRights. My user is both Team Administrator and Project Administrator, yet I dont have permission to change this project. How can this be resolved Thanks in advance.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Config failur

  I am creationg a service. When I add an end point in code it works. But when I add it in app.config I get a exception telling me then the configuration of the service can not understand the attribute "type" in the statmant <service type="xxx" ... why did the schema change Yes, the configuration schema has changed. You now set the service's name instead of the type. For the default ServiceHost that ships with the WCF product, the name resolves to a .NET type string by default.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding a second form

  In NET 2003, I read this instruction in a book: "Visual Basic .NET requires that you specifically declare a variable of the form's type before you use a second form." Assuming two forms frmMain and frmHelp, I would do this in frmMain: Dim frmHelp As New frmHelp frmHelp.ShowDialog() But in NET 2005 (Express) it seems to work without the Dim: frmHelp.ShowDialog() Has the requirement changed David, Thanks for your excellent post; very helpful.

  Hi all, another quick question. I've built a form and I'm trying to introduce a mechanism so that when a user creates in a password (s) has to confirm it.

  Hi, I have created a form in Excel, upon which is a multipage control, with a set of combo boxes placed on. One combobox is populated by a pre-defined list of text, which upon user selection runs a macro that defines the population of a second combo box.......like a choice - sub-choice set up. The user is able to add and delete pages to their requirements, which also add and deletes the combo boxes on each page, however the user will always be presented with the same choices for each page but at any given time the coices on individual pages may or may not match the choices on others.....at least that's what I want.
