• Visual Basic VB2005 Book

  Could anyone tell me what would be a good book to start I used vb6 in my last project. Is it ok to skip vb.net Please advice...

However, you could pick up a VB.NET book and it would still be useful. There aren ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Splitter bars?

  How would I go about inserting a splitter bar between two panels to allow the user to resize the width of the content Is there a control for this Thanks! You need to place the content in a Grid and use GridSplitter. I place the splitter in its own column/row but there are other options. The docs on GridSpliter are a bit sketchy, but the information is there. You need to set whether it is rows or columns, the ...Show All

  The VS2005 Beta 2 MSDN documentation for IXmlSerializable.ReadXml contains the following statement: "When this method is called, the reader stream is positioned at exactly the point that the WriteXml method began writing.

When this method returns, it must have consumed exactly those nodes that were written by the WriteXml method, so that t ...Show All

  I am trying to learn how to use DataSets to edit data in a database using the ODBC .Net provider. I would also like to have an OdbcCommandBuilder buid the SQL commands for me.

I would like to see some very rudimentary code samples which each do one simple thing. The Di ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Other local databases other than SQL2005Express and Access

  Hi, I'm a huge fan of the Microsoft Visual Studio Express software, but despite that SQL 2005 Express should be light-weight. It's still too heavy for me. It draws the performance out of my system. I like this database, but I still find it somewhat heavy. Working with Jet databases goed smoothly on my system. Since I want to test other databases, can I use the following ones within the Express Editions: 1. FireBird 1.5.x and up 2. MySQL 5.x 3. E ...Show All
