• Visual Basic Processing Serial Data

  I need the reduce the processing time in a uMicrocontroller to allow faster sampling times. This has creates a problem in the data collection routine in VB. The old system collected the analog data a converted it to a decimal format before sending it to the serial port. This data is collected and saved using Hyperterminal. The VB program would, when run, would open this file and process the decimal data by graphing it. What I need is to capture the data directly and process a binary word.

• Visual Studio ToolboxItems.Add does nothing

  Hello, Using Whidbey Beta 2, I'm trying to add a control to the toolbox using a windows forms application. All goes well, and no error found, but the control does not appear after the application finishes, even after I restart VS.NET. I'm also adding a new toolbox tab, which works fine. First I tried using the sample code provided in the documentation, but it din't compile because it expects an object instead of a class. Since I had this working with VS 2003, I borrowed some that seems to work, at least for creating the tab. The code I'm using is the following: Dim latestDTE As Type latestDTE = Type.GetTypeFromProgID( "Vi ...Show All

• SQL Server Default TCP/IP Settings

  I am trying to do a SQL Express Unmanned installation and I have been having trouble with the TCP/IP settings. I have tried both disablenetworkprotocols=0 and =2 and after the installation is complete I open the configuration manager to check the settings.

Is that not illogical Does anyone know how to enable these, specifically IP2, at se ...Show All
