• Visual Basic ByVal variable passing

  didnt know where to post this, so i decided here was a suitable spot. anyways lets say i have an OCX that has variables defined.  the OCX, we will call "HMM" example given: Private Sub HMM_NAMEHERE(ByVal Latency As Long) now "Latency" is already declaired in the OCX as a changing variable that depends on the user that is connceted to a server.  so its not set. now im trying to pass that variable to a "Private Sub ListView_MouseMove".  the Latency variable in the HMM sub contains the true value, and i just want to pass that value to the ListView sub i have listed. how would i go about doing that here is an image, if it ...Show All

• Visual Studio ReportHeader and ReportFooter along with PageHeader and PageFooter?

  Back when I was writing reports in Microsoft Access, I made use of a section of the report called Report Header and Report Footer. I believe the same funtionality was present in the VB6 built-in reporting engine. This was useful, for example, when appending a copyright notice, privacy notice, or legal notice at the end of a report, but which you didn't want to see at the bottom of every page. This is a highly desirable capability. Is there a mechanism to achieve this with the .NET 2.0 built-in reporting functionality Thank you, --Mike This is work well but one annoying problem remains. If I hide contents in ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) duplex contracts behind a loadbalancer

  Hello, Just starting to work on some duplex communication samples. Can someone confirm that this will work behind a loadbalancer Regards, Ruurd Boeke Probably :-) - Most load balancers are configured to return the client to the same server. Though not ideal it prevents a lot of programming issues ( like not having to track session state in a DB ) If you are using a true load balancer im not sure , but my hunch is it may not work. The issue is not so much the server talking back to the client but the state on the server . Most Duplex channels implementations have a program model where a request is intiated by the client , w ...Show All

• .NET Development Codebehind in a diferent place

  Hi all How can i place my cs files in a different folder of aspx files When i put my cs files in a different folder, forms works fine but i can't use design view. I don't know how to specify a diferent location in "Codebehind" property. Thanks in advance The codebehind file is found by the designer through the CodeBehind attribute in the ASPX page.  I'm not aware if you can give it a path or not but it is normally simply a filename.  For 2.0 you should use CodeFile instead which I believe does support paths.  However you should weigh the benefits of moving the code behind away from the underl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Have DataBound TextBox Controls Empty on FormLoad?

  My title pretty much says it all. I've got a combobox that I set to -1 on load, and it is nice and empty when my form loads. However, I've got three textboxes on the same form that separate data binding that I cannot figure-out how to load "empty." They are always filled with the data from the first row of the dataset. You shouldn't be setting the SelectedIndex of the ComboBox because you are actually affecting the first record. I've never done it myself but if it's possible then you'd need to use a CurrencyManager and set it's Position property to -1. I believe you'd do that like this: CType(Me.BindingContext, Curren ...Show All
