• Visual C# cannot toggle between two forms

  It is a continuation of my previous thread on switching between forms. Special thanks to Craig for the code. I still have a way to go. Now I am trying to toggle between two forms of one application (WindowsApplication2). It starts out as Form1. By clicking on a linkLabel control I close Form1 and start Form2. The Form1 becomes invisible. Then I want to go back to Form1 and perhaps a few times back and forth. The following code gives me a compile ...Show All

• Windows Forms Major flaw when deploying to multiple clients

  I've spent days researching this with no results. My problem is basically the same as this post ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=108636&SiteID=1 ), which did not receive any responses. This seems like fundamental problem with deploying ClickOnce apps to multiple clients.

Any ideas Hey Lewis, I'm glad that you've been successful using the MSN Search API.  Although our API lists Local as a source of data, we have not enabled it yet.  We're working to add additional data feeds to the service in the near future. ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem with PInvoke finding/loading unmanaged DLL

  I have several legacy DLLs created for an application that I am attempting to call using the PInvoke (DLLImport) method.  My problem is that I am getting an error stating that the DLL cannot be loaded.  This seems to have happened when I took the fullpath off the DLL name and only specify the DLL name (i.e. went from "C:\wherever\dllname.dll" to "dllname.dll") in the DLLImport specification.  I have added the directory path to the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Itanium compiler removed in VS 2005 PRO (it is only on team version)

  I'm disappointed: the C++ itanium computer was removed on VS 2005 Professional, and is only on the expensive "team" edition. The Platfork SDK of Windows 2003 SP1 contain a free x64 and itanium compiler, but not integrated on VS2005 see http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vs2005/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vs2005/subscriptions/ http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/default.aspx http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/teams ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Microsoft Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard

  How I can save the add-in settings with 'Microsoft Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard' What I should do for this Hi Sergey I think you are asking for the Com-Addin Settings to be saved as these are applications that are installed on the machine these will not be saved by the My Settings Wizard. The registry key for Com-Addins normally only refers to the COM Object to construct and whether to load behaviour. The reg key for the Com-Addi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Filling DataGridView with search results

  I have created a simple Visual Basic 2005 application for doing word searches on a SQL Server 2005 database using a Button, TextBox, and ListBox to search and retrieve results based on terms typed into the TextBox. The program works, but I think I would like to use a DataGridView control for the search results instead of the listbox to provide more options for how the results are displayed. Here is the code I used successfully for the Listbox: ...Show All

• SQL Server How to achieve rowid of Oracle in SQL Server?

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relatio ...Show All
