• Visual Basic VB 2005 (In Visual Studio 2005) WebBrowser Control - Question

  Hello Ive made a application which features a embedded WebBrowser Control in the form. In the properties box where it states url i dont wish to add a website url as my application runs within the program files directory. Now if i point the link to a html file located in the prog files directory it works fine without any trouble.

• Visual C++ How do I create a folder for my library files?

  I have a DLL project and I want to create a folder to contain my library files. In Visual Studio 6, all of our projects have a "Library Files" folder that contain our .lib files. When using Visual Studio 2005, I right click on the project and try to add a folder called "Library Files" and all it does is create a physical folder in the project directory and I cannot associate .lib files with it. How can I create a folder to hold my lib files Thanks. After you create this physical lib directory, you can just add it to the properties of your project as described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Print directly to the printer

  Dear all...^^. I have a program needs to print directly to a Zebra TLP 2844-Z barcode printer. I tried the codes in http://support.microsoft.com/ scid=kb;EN-US;322090, but an error occurred when i run it, as follows: A call to PInvoke function 'test!test.RawPrinterHelper::OpenPrinter' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. May I ask if any one has any other idea of printing directly to printer in VB2005 Thanks Raymond Here ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Rules

  Hi I am experimenting with some custom rules using FxCop SDK v 1.32. Need advice on how to build custom rules for- 1. All composite statements (if-else, for each etc) should have curly braces even if they have just one statement to execute 2. Classes, methods , properties etc should have least required visibility modifier. Can anybody help Regards, Amit Hi Amit, Unfortunately, rule #1 cannot be written with FxCop because we analyze the IL code in the binary which will be identical regardless of changes like whitespace and curly brackets in C#.

• Visual FoxPro RSA Public/Private Key Encryption in VFP 9.0

  Hi, I need to be able to decrypt data pulled from a MySQL table encrypted with RSA public/private key encryption within a FoxPro application.  I am currently using the FoxPro Foundation Class known as _cryptapi as a wrapper to the CryptoAPI interface.  The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to figure out how to decrypt a RSA encrypted string of data.  I know that the _cryptapi class provided by Microsoft uses the Microsoft Base Cryptographic Service Provider which in itself uses RSA public key encryption algorithms, but for some reason I am having the hardest time finding the methods that support this in the _cryptapi fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database not updating. Just installed SQL Server Database. Please help!

I use the following statement to verify the changes have been made, but when I exit and return to the database, the changes are not made.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using a char variable in a array position

  Is it possible to use a char variable to point to a position in an array For Example, <code> char position; std::cin >> position; char array[] = { 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' }; std::cout << array[ position ]; </code> I think I understand why it doesn't work. Its because a number in a char is not the same number, i.e. '1' = 49, '2' = 50, but is it possible to convert it to an integer I am not quite sure what you want to do, but you may convert a Char to a byte by means of: Byte = Asc(Char). Then you can use the byte as an index in the array. ...Show All

• .NET Development Bitwise byte operators ?

  I have a run the simple following lines and I am very surprised by the result byte a = 1, b = 2; Console.WriteLine((a | b).GetType());   I get a System.Int32 output. Why didn't I get a byte output Performance wise, it does not change anything, and it has the advantage of making sense in terms of typing. Thanks in advance, Joannes int is the smallest signed type for which the | operator is predefined, so the arguments get promoted to ints and the result is an int.
