  I purchased the Build a Program Now... VB Express version by Patrice Pelland After the install of VB express & SQL, she talks about companion content in the book that was suppost to be installed in 'My Documents' folder.  Neeedless to say, MSPress did not include the files on the CD that came with the book.  I would like to complete the projects in the book, if possible.  Does anybody know where I can get a copy of those missing files Thanks for your time.

• Windows Forms ComboBox filling available space in toolstripbar

  Hello, I updated my application to .NET2 and replaced the old toolbars by toolstripbars. My application does contain an addressbar similar to that  of Internet Explorer with some buttons left and some right of the combobar. The right buttons are right-aligned and are automatically positioned at the right border at runtime. I now want to fill the space between the left and the right buttons with my combobar. But when sizing the combobar in the ToolStripBar Resize event, the combobar gets a bit too large (as the right buttons seem to not yet have been repositioned) and the right buttons are shown as drop down menu. How to prevent this or ...Show All

• .NET Development Retrieving data in fields in dataset or ADO.NET

  Who knows the codes for retrieving data in a database field in a dataset and inserting it into a textbox   How do i move the arrow in the database through codes in VB.net pls email me at francis_himura@yahoo.com ASAP please! Thanks! Ok, ADO in VB6 and ADO.Net has a very different approach. ADO .Net adapts the principle of a disconnected recordset in VB6. If you want to create a ForwardOnly cursor, just like in vb6, You'll need to use DataAdapters. if you want a disconnected recordset (I think it's adOpenKeyset in vb6) then you'll have to use datatable or dataset. BTW, in ado.net you don't nee ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with ListView when maximize the window

  The Problem is that the GridView of my ListView doesn't resize when I maximize the window. The ListView resizes to the correct size, but the GridView keeps its size. Maybe I have to add something to Grid in which the ListView is. Here's a simple example of the problem: <Window x:Class="BorderWin.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="BorderWin" Height="300" Width="300" Loaded="OnLoad"> <Grid> <ListView Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0 ...Show All

  Can someone tell me exactly which versions of SQLServer 2005, and Visual Studio 2005 I should use so that I can develop a web page with a reportviewer control on one machine and use Reporting Services on a different machine. Any links to downloads (i know files will be big). At the moment I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard Beta 2. I also have SQLServer 2005 Beta 2. The cds/dvds have no mention of ctps etc...

• Visual Basic How to Read, Write, Modify & Remove Application Settings From Config File Using VB 2005?

  .NET Framework 1.1 provides System.Configuration Namespace which exposes methods for reading information from the config file, but there are no methods for modifying the contents. Is there anyway this can be done using Visual Basic 2005, without implementing a custom class I have already set it up to use this sort of settings setup and I have used the My.Settings.Save() command after having made a series of changes. I set it up so that there are 18 button name and link settings and 5 user name, password and limits (eg is admin sort of things). I get the user name things to work perfectly, which can be changed by an admin. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista OnExecuting....

  We've built our own tracking service, and need some user data from activities that are about to be executed (EventSinks). So I'd like to call TrackData(somedata) when the activity goes to an "Executing" state. This event is somehow triggered as an Activity Event, but I can't find any activity event like OnExecuting... Any one... I am not entirely sure since I am still TRYING to learn the WWF as well, but I think that if you create a custom activity, then you can override the Execute implementation and make your TrackData call there. Make sense -- /chris ...Show All

• Visual C# A C# Program Failed to initialize on friends computer, please help

• Visual C++ Tips for speeding up debugging (stepping through code)?

  I've got one particular large C++ project that, in VC 2005, when stepping through code in the debugger, it takes approximately 2 seconds for each hit of the F10 key (i.e. each line of code) to be executed. I've tried many things to attempt to speed it up: disable intellisense, renaming feacp.dll, removing all additional output windows, watch, breakpoints, etc, removing navigation bar from text editor window, disabling anti-virus on the machine, closing all other apps. It's always the same speed. Running on a dual P4 2.8 gig with 1 gig of memory, and hyperthreading enabled. Are there any other tips for speeding up debugging in the ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewImageColumn new row image
