• Visual Basic access key prefix character

  Hi, When I use an ampersand character (&) in the control's Text property to be an access key prefix character (ex. Button1.Text = "&End"), the E is underlined. But when I set the Text property during runtine, the access key (ALT+E) is working but the key-character ("E") is not underlined.

• Visual C# Using OS to open files

  I am currently writing an app that extracts files from a database and attempts to open them using Process.Start(); It works fine as long as the file type has an association, but if there is no association, I get an exception.  What we are looking to have is for the OS to handle it just as if you tried to open a file from Windows Explorer and the file type is unassociated, you get a Windows Dialog (Windows cannot open this file) What do you want to do Use the Web service to... or Select the program from a list.

• .NET Development How to get the left digit value?

  Hi Is there any function is available in Managed C++ to get the left side value of Integer value for example, that function should return the interger value like this... leftvalue(19,1) = 1 leftvalue(25,1) = 2 Assume leftvalue() is proposed function. Thanks in advance Jose  Hi, If my memory serves me right, then InStr() - gets the location of a specified character(s), Mid() gets a substring. If thats the case then: String^ test = "Microsoft"; // INSTR() int idx = test.IndexOf('o'); //Mid String^ str = test.substring(1, 5);   cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• Windows Forms Requesting a computation to wait

  This concerns a windows application in which I want to do a short computation, display a message based on the result, and then go into a longer computation. However, the second computation apparently pushes the message off the queue, so that it does not appear until the second computation is finished. If I don't start the second computation until I click a button, everything works fine, but that's not the way I want to do it. Can I somehow tell the second computation to hold its horses for a while You can try calling Application.DoEvents(), although if it's all in one spot, in a single thread, I don't see w ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Suddenly get "sql server does not exist or access denied" after connected for ages.

  Hi all, I'm developing a PDA app using the compact framework. It connects to a SQL server 2000 database calling stored procedures to read data and update it etc.. It all works absolutely fine for 10 minutes or so - reading and writing lots of data. Then all at once I get the error "sql server does not exist or access denied". In my error handler I try to reconnect - but it seems once this error has happened it's not possible to reconnect. I don't know whether it makes a difference but the PDA is connecting to a database on my machine via a USB connection and the ActiveSync (the very latest version) program.

• Windows Forms Bind to GeometryModel3D Material

  hallo, I really like the flexibility that XAML and avalon introduce into 3D vector graphics. So I've created a listbox that has it's items style with two viewport3D's. I've also created a loop in the codebehind that inserts items into the listbox. Each of these items is assigned the defined 3D style with 2 viewport3Ds. So what I have is a listbox with 3D button items. However, assigning a different material to the geometrymodel3D in the style everytime a new item is assigned the style is a story of a unique sort. I've tried using databinding but am unsure of the sytax involved and therefore tried *Alias. But *Alias, to my knowledg ...Show All
