• Visual Basic E-Z Question N vb.net

  Three textbox controls, texbox1.Text = 'number1 textBox2.Text = 'number2 texbox3.Text = 'result when i click my button i want to add the values of the two text boxes and then show the result in the Result textbox3 Textbox3.Text = TextBox1.Text + TextBox2.Text but all i get in the result is the two number i entered, like if i enter 6+6 it will show 66 any help I'm guessing that this is homework so I'm not providing code, but I can tell you what's happening. The Text property of a TextBox is of type String, which means it is just a series of characters. It is NOT a number, even if the characters themselves represent ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modify setup.exe?

  I just found out that the download URL of prerequisites are written directly to the generated SETUP.EXE! In my previous post, I found the solution to dynamically modify the URL in .application files. But I also want tell SETUP.EXE to download from a URL that is only determined after Publish Wizard runs. But I know modifying Windows PE file is evil. Is there still a workaround Thanks! I founnd a class GenerateBootstrapper in Microsoft.Build.Tasks namespace. I think this is the right one that does the job of creating bootstrap SETUP.EXE. But I don't know how to do with it. Can anyone help ...Show All

• Windows Forms Another ComboBox Quandry!

  I posted this on another forum, but I'd like some more feedback, so I'm posting it here as well. :D I've got a combobox that I can either type into (I have an autocomplete function implemented, see below), or select a value with my mouse. How can I catch and run a sub on pressing the enter key, tab key, or clicking on a row, but no other keypress Keypress sub of combobox(es): Code:    Private Sub ComboBox_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles CboLookupByAsset.KeyPress, CboServerStatus.KeyPress, CboLookupByName.KeyPress        formBusy = True   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to get Count in GroupBy

  I tried to translate the very common sql query Select Category, count(*) as NumberOfProducts from Products group by Category into linq syntax. I was able to write it like this: var orderGroups = from p in products group p by p.Category into g select new { Category = g.Key, NumberOfProducts = g.Count() }; Question: is there a O(1) way, to get the NumberOfProducts without using the Count()-Function running presumably O(n) Thanks! Depending on the underlying server, which in all of our cases at the moment, is SQL 2005 - Counting the number of rows in a group is actually a O(1) operation. It has a fixed cost because ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tear-Off Menus and Tabs in Windows Forms Applications

  I'm writing a Windows Forms app, and I have a few menus which could be usefully dragged off as floating toolbars (as an example, see the Grouping submenu of the Draw menu on the Drawing toolbar in Word 2003).  It's not critical functionality, but I was wondering if there's any reasonably simple way to implement this.  I have tried searching, but this particular feature seems to go by many names, so I may have missed it. Also, drag-off tabs would be useful. Thanks, RyanT5000 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: no Add-In does load anymore

  Hi, currently i'm developing with VSTO 2005 ans VS 2005 Team Suite for Office Outlook 2003. I wrote an Add-In with C# and it works well, creating a setup which grants the CAS too. But today i changed some code within, rebuild the solution and tried to start a debug session with a break point right in the ThisApplication.ThisApplication_Startup Method. And nothing happens!! My Add-In was not loaded anymore. I tried to do a reinstall with one of the previous generated setup packages (which worked!) and started Outlook manually. And nothing happens. My Add-In was not loaded. So, even previous versions which worked yesterday doesn' w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Print to File

  Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: My application creates a one page report and prints it out. The page includes an image. Now, I would like to save that page to a file, so, that it could later be retrieved and viewed on the screen and also have the ability to reprint it. You have several options: 1. create a file format which you write out, storing all the information necessary. When you want to print it, your application can read it in then print it as normal. 2. Use a PDF Printer Driver to print it to a PDF. 3. As above, but create the PDF Formatted file yourself (it's an open form ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSTest Error?

  I have a project in which I can run a series of tests via the IDE and everything works fine. However, when I run the tests from the command line I get this failure: Starting Execution...

This is the command line that I'm using: mstest /testmetadata:pet.vsmdi /testlist:"Lifecycle Management Tests" /testlist:"Utility Test" /testlist:"User Management Tests" /resultsfile:"TestResults\PetTests.trx" If I do only one of the test lists, everything is fine but when I add the second test (or third, it seems to be a varying combination) in there it fails.

• SQL Server How to find matching profiles?

  Users have to answer 17 simple yes/no questions and the answers are stored in an column for each question as tinyint 0/1 values. At least that's what seems reasonable to me at the moment. The table is under my control so I could change it if needed. Now from several tenthousend or maybe hundreds of thousends of entries I need to find those with the closest match. Of course, I need all of the entries that have the exact same answers and this is no problem. But - at least if there are not enough full matches - then I need all records that have maybe 16,15,14... matches out of the 17 answers. I have not yet the idea on how to handle this withou ...Show All
