• Visual Basic How to pause execution in a Form?

  DOes anyone know how to pause execution in one form/method until another form/method is through then finish its own program. I want to be able to switch to another form, run some execution, then take the results to pass back to the original form and let it finish execution. WHen I try it, it will switch over and even pass info back, but the original form will fishish its sub-routine with out waiting for the results. Know it sounds confusiong. What is sounds like is that you want to display a form in front of another and then pass the results of the new form back to its owner. Have a look at the Form.ShowDia ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't debug CF v1.0 on WM 5.0 device or emulator.

  When I attempt to debug a VS2005 VB program which targets the compact framework version 1.0 on either the WM 5.0 emulator or an actual WM 5 device (Dell Axim x51), I get an error message which says, "Unable to start program '%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\abc\abc.exe'. Not Implemented" If I run the program without debugging (ctrl+F5) it works fine. Also, if I create an identical program with version 2.0 of the framework it debugs fine on the emulator.  I've been searching all over for some clues to this.  I have re-installed both VS 2005 and the WM5 SDK. (Yes, I did have VS 2005 beta 2 installed; but I followed the uninstall instructions ...Show All

• Windows Forms 2005 RTM: A circular control reference has been made. A control cannot be owned by or parented to itself.

  Well, dang. I had re-done a form that was causing me other problems with the designer. All seemed fine, I went home, and returned to the form this morning to find this: A circular control reference has been made. A control cannot be owned by or parented to itself. This form has a few split containers on it. This instability is very frustrating. Anyone else ever see this I am seeing the same problem... I have a mock Outlook style UI with nested split containers, etc. It worked fine in the designer and I can build it however when I execute it I get a nasty popup saying there is a serious issue and t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem extracting URL from Favorites showdailog, used to work

  Revisiting older code that used to work, now in VS2003 Getting: “The process failed: System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form”. In the following code below the user would click on a URL from a (show)dialogbox displayed. I would then take the selected URL’s path via FavoritesFolder.DirectoryPath really (FolderNameEditor.FolderBrowser .DirectoryPath) and parse the file to retrieve the http URL. Obviously there has been a change – the path now looks like: C:\Doc…\name…\Favorites\abc com.url, and because of the ending description the Path is considered invalid (I think) and the .DirectoryPath= “” (blanks) ...Show All

• .NET Development Certificates

  I know that Visual Studio can handle .cer Files which only contain the Public Key of a Certificate.  So, if I install one of this certificates, it's normally never installed in the Personal certificates section, because there I should only install my certificates which have the private key integrated also. Certificates with private key are normally installed from a .p12 file  (a PKCS12 Certificate Store ).   For Authentification with Certificates to a Web Service I need a personal certificate with a private key (installed from a .p12 or .pfx file ) .   So I need to install the com ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Way to Copy Data From Server A Table A1 to Server B Table B1 w/ C# and ADO.NET
