  I am trying to say something like: For Each i As System.Drawing.Bitmap In My .Resources do something Next Which, to my learned forum associates, obviously does not work Suggestions please! (The resource files are actually GIF files, which seemed to GetType to 'bitmap') If you resources have a consistent naming convention then you can use something like the following code to programatically access the the resources to retrieve them Simple Code here which will assign resources called Image1 and Image2 to some pictureboxes called Picturebox1 and Picturebox2 on the form.

• SQL Server Cannot change default server port 1433 on SQL Server 2005

  Hello, On SQL Server 2005 Dev Ed I have disabled all protocols except TCP IP. With Sql Server Configuration manager, I have set the server port to 1450 (in sql server 2005 network configuration) and the client port to 1450 (in Sql Native Client configuration).

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error: EventDeliveryFailedException ?

  I have got a dual WinForms/ASP.NET workflow application working, except for raising events to workflow from ASP.NET. The events work ok if raised under WinForms app, with DefaultWorkflowScheduler.

• Windows Forms ToolStripDropdown programming

  Hi, Is there anyway to know what item was clicked There is no "IndexSelected"  property for ToolStripDropdonw. The only way I can image to do is: Instead of one event of ToolStripDropdonw, to create event handlers for all ToolStripMenuItems and check the items' name to get which item is trigging the events. This way is very inconvenient. Better way to do this Thanks. Unfortunately, not all items have a Checked property, which makes a CheckedChanged event not suitable for the ToolStrip/ToolStripDropDown.  However you can sync the ItemClicked event on the ToolStripDropDown and get e. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Smartphone device debugging problem with VS 2005

  I have just setup VS 2005 beta 2 and I'm having trouble debugging native C++ apps on my smartphone device (even the simple one created by the New Project wizard). The error I get is: Unable to start program '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\TestApp\TestApp.exe'. Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x89731102. Obviously I can't find any info about error 0x89731102.

• .NET Development Createing a SQLDependency on a QUEUE rather than a Table?

  I am looking to create a SQLDependency on a queue rather than a table. The goal is to create an event driven notification to a middle tire object (rather than a polling notification). Using the SQLNotificationRequest, I can create a notification that monitors a specific "notify-queue" for a "QUEUE_ACTIVATION" event. This event is fired when a message arrives in a "targetqueue", and the event notification is placed in a Notify-Queue. I want to do the same thing with the SQLDependency object, but I am not sure I can. I can configure the SQLDependency object to monitor a specific "notify queue" : ...Show All

  I've an mdiParent (maximized) with X children (maximized). The mdiParent contains a menustrip. I load the children into the parent.

When I minimize the parent and then maximize it, the position of the child is correct (below the menustrip).
