• Visual Studio Express Editions Porting web navigator from VB6 to VS2005 C#

  I am porting a VB 6.0 application to C# that automates navigation of multiple web pages within a site and extracts information from some of the pages. One of the pages contains a listbox containing a number of countries. The default value that is set is not the value I need to use. The HTML in the web page looks like this: <select name="country" style="" onchange="" multiple id="countryList" size="7"> <option value="*" selected> All Countries and Territories </option> <option value="------0">------</option> <option value="AU&quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions First Project

  I have been charged with gathering all incoming faxes, converting them to PDF files and thru keywords (Names Departments etc.) sending them to specific personel using Active Directory. I have a program that will convert to PDF, but I need to know how to search and distribute with (I hope) VB. I am brand new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. OMG Tally, To what degree is this to be automated My gosh.... how familiar are you with Object oriented programming. I really don't feel that this is an appropriate assignment. ...Show All

• SQL Server No TRIM function in 2005 - are you serious!?

  I cannot believe that there is yet another version of SQL Server without a TRIM function.  So for SQL 2005 (like I've done in 7.0 and 2000) my T-SQL will look like dog poo because I will have to write LTRIM(RTRIM(MyValue)) anytime I want to remove whitespace from both ends of character values instead of just writing TRIM(MyValue). Microsoft - how can you write LTRIM and RTRIM and not write TRIM in the same breath and how have you let it go so long without providing it.  This should have been in there since version 4.21.  I mean - how hard is it to add TRIM and just call LTRIM(RTRIM(Value ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Is the new Media Foundation a replacement of Direct Show?

  They seem to perform the same task too me. Is Media Foundation supposed to replace Direct Show Hi John, You're correct that DirectShow and Media Foundation are similar; both of them are platforms for running multimedia presentations. As for whether Media Foundation is a replacement for DirectShow... As of Media Foundation v1 (i.e. the flagship version of Media Foundation that will ship with Windows Vista), if you're doing something like multimedia playback, you'll notice that working with the Media Foundation requires you to work at a slightly lower level than working with DirectShow would have.

• SQL Server Remote Connection problem on MS SQL 2000

  Hello, First, I want to say I read all threads similar this thread and I couldn't solve problem. My firewall is always off when I tried to connect remotly to SQL Server. I opened 1433 port from my router's configuration page and forwarded it to 10.0.0.4:1433. When I started SQL Server service and checking "netstat" with "-na" paramters. It shows only one row as "TCP - 0.0.0.0:1433 to 0.0.0.0:0". What "0.0.0.0" means and why foreign addres port is "0". I guess, It should like to be "TCP - 10.0.0.4:1433 to OutsideIp:1433". I removed forwarding from my router and used Windows's Network Connection to forward ports. I opened ...Show All

• Visual Basic Class properties: an invitation to weaker OOP programming?

  Why have class properties It just looks too much like a way to modify an object's data from outside the object, which leads to sloppy OOP programming( ) Coming from a strong OOP background with C++, selectors and modifiers seem appropriate if we are trying to be truely Object-driven. So instead of: Class ThisClass ' ' Data ' Private m_sName As String ' ' Properties ' Public Property Name() As String Get ' Return the value stored in the local variable. Return m_sName End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) ' Store the value in a local variable. m_sName = Value End Set End Prope ...Show All

• SQL Server How to tie together all tabs

  Once I have stuff completed in each of the tabs (Control Flow, Data Flow, Event Handlers, etc..) how to I tie them all together in sequence so that each runs Each part will run when it is time for it. There is no explicit step to tie them together, but you do need to understand what each part is for. The control flow is the root, which represents the high level view of the package. Each data flow task is already represented in the control flow as Data Flow task . The Data Flow tab just shows the inside of this task. Similarly each event handler is bound to a task in main control flow or another event handler and an even ...Show All
