• Windows Forms Docking Problems

  I have a form with a menu and a toolbar, a splitter panel and other controls in the splitter.  If I dock the splitter, it slides up under the toolbar and the menu bar. I put the menu and toolbar into a panel and docked that panel to the top. then dock the splitter to fill or to the left. Fill puts the splitter under the top panel and left moves the top panel to the side.  Is there an attribute I am missing to prevent this   Suggestions Thanks Glen I know I'm late on this post (new to this section of the forum), but even another way is to open the "document outline" (found under the view menu in "other ...Show All

• Visual Basic Creating IIS virtual directory from VB2005?

  Is anyone aware of a method of getting IIS to create a virtual directory (and ideally set permissions etc) from a VB2005 winforms app I am guessing not or it would involve an unjustified amount of remote-control code. If anyone has any ideas please reply.. many thanks. I probably only need a (qualified) "no don't bother" answer on this folks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug? TFSVC API - VersionControlLabel constructor

  I was just working with the Version Contrtol API's VersionControlLabel object and I found something interesting that I thought the MSFT folks might want to look into. After instantiating a new VersionControlLabel object, I noticed that the instance's VersionControlServer property was Null. I know that the VersionControlServer object that I passed into the contructor was valid because I also used it to pass the AuthenticatedUser. Here is the code: Private Function GetLabel(ByVal labelText As String, _ ByVal teamProjectName As String) _ As VersionControlLabel Dim label As New VersionControlLabel( _ ...Show All

  Hi, How can I save large dataset (with table with 250,000 rows and more) to database (Access / MSDE) quickly Thank's Alexei Hi Alexei, I'm not sure I really understand your question. "Quickly" is a relative term.

• .NET Development RegEx replace question

  I have no regex experience, so this is probably pretty easy. I have this string: //33// CD23//2D //48// and it should like like this: ! CD23//2D 0 What I need to do is replace the bolded values with the char equivalent, so "//33//" would replace to '!' and "//48//" would be 0.  I'm using "//" as my int seperator, but the only time i need to replace would be if there is an int value between the two that would resolve to a whitespace or printable ascii character. Just hoping RegEx would be faster than looping through the string characters. (This is due to Base-64 string restrictions). Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB 2005 / VS 2005 Question

  Will the Visual Basic.net or Visual Studio.net 2005 versions require developers to have their application users download any framework versions in order to use the developers applications If I am not mistaken, VB.net and VS.net 2003 required application users to have the 1.1 framework installed on their local machine in order to use the application. This was a discouraging requirement as some users still have a dial-up connection and were faced with a 22 Mb download for the framework. Hopefully MS fixed this to where it was not required by app users. Any feedback regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! No problem Greg. ...Show All
