• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 Express Install / run problem

  I've done both web and *.img installs of VB2005Express on clean installs of XP Pro SP2. I can register fine, but when I try to creat a project, I get an exception error... " The filename, Directory name, or Volume label sntax is incorrect. ( Exception from H_RESULT : 0x8007007B) " That is as far as I can get.

• Windows Forms non-rectangular controls in Windows Forms

  I'm trying to develop simple non-rectangular controls for use in forms: ellipses, diamonds, etc. The last released version of System.Windows.Forms clearly had problems in this are, and now version 2.0 also seems to handle things incorrectly. Specifically, even if I set the background color to Transparent and set the "All painting in WM_PAINT" style, the corners of my controls continue to be painted. In v1.1 there was a problem with window style flags not being set correctly, but I could never get the work-around to function. Is there sample code for doing this in Forms v2.0 You have to know ...Show All

• Visual C# PrintDialog doesn't remember printer settings

  I have PrintDialog instance in Windows Form class, which is called by Page Setup command: printDialog.ShowDialog(); User selects this command, changes some settings (for example, sets Portrait orientaion) and press OK. If command is executed again, dialog returns to it's default state. Interesting that PrintDocument is printed according to last settings, this means, they are kept somewhere. But PrintDialog itself resets them to default when starts. Is there any way to make settings persistent hi i think this article might help http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/NET_Printer_Library.asp ...Show All

• .NET Development variable name from string?

  If I have an int like: int i = 1; and I have a string representing int i like: string name = "i"; is there a way I can turn the "i" into a variable name to access it's value Not really. You can put all int's into a dictionary and access them by name: Dictionary< string , int > numbers = new Dictionary< string , int >(); numbers.Add("i", 1); numbers["i"] += 41; Console.WriteLine(numbers["i"]);  // prints 42   Why do you want to do this, anyway Maybe there's a better solution... ...Show All

• SQL Server Partitions per partitioned table limited WHY ?

  I am designing an application with multiple tenants.and all of my table have a partion key as DBOWNERID where I hold the integer value of the owner reference. But the problem is I wanna have as unlimited number of partitions,as I want every databaseowner to have its own partion but this page says http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143432.aspx I am limited to 1.000 partitions per table. Why is there a limit does partitions degrade speed I guess having more partitions would indeed impact performance. It's logical that every extra check costs some performance and if you would have for example 500.000 checks it wou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing from VB Express

  I have come across several posts indicating that it is nearly impossible to print documents, much less interact with Word, when using Visual Basic Express. Is this true If so, will this functionality ever be included or will I have to either purchase Visual Studio or learn another language While not impossible to print in VB 2005 ( this includes the Express Edition too) it takes a bit of work to get the results you want. There are a lot of printing capabilities in VB 2005, but, you need to do some reading to maximize your results. Doing a Google Search in the Groups section will find a lot of info on print ...Show All
