• Visual Basic Visual Basic and graphics - for the novice/beginner

  Hi there I have no training in programming, but would like to start writing my own little programmes. In my work (civil engineer), I am increasingly frustrated by the lack of simple, time saving programmes to make my life easier, and hence the urge to write my own programmes. Of course, the start will be no more than programmes for one-off formulas, but having said that, I would like to (in many year's time) be able to write more complicated ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I open/convert vb 2005 express project in VB.Net 2003?

  How can I open/convert vb 2005 express project in VB.Net 2003 Thanks in advance You can't. If it has any forms, they will use partial classes, one of many VB2005 features that are not in VB2003. The solution file is incompatible. It's a very, very manual process. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista RuleSet Editor

  This next question is actually outside of this thread but along the same lines.  Microsoft has moved away from UML yet many apps in the market were modeled with UML.  It seems the workflow in WWF is simular to dynamic diagrams like activity diagrams.  Is there any easy or theoretical transform from UML diagrams ( through XMI) to workflow diagrams This could be an interesting discussion. As I ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to disable "Ctrl-Tab" navigating between MDIChildren

  Hi. I've tried to find an answer for this, but i think the terms are too general. I'm developing a windows app that uses MDI. We've created our own (simple) framework wherein the forms are navigated through a tabcontrol, i.e. tabbed forms. An unexpected bonus of the MDI was that the user can switch between the open forms with "Ctrl-Tab" and "Ctrl-Shift-Tab", and i respond the the "Deactivate" and "Acti ...Show All

  I'm a novice at macros and need some help. I need a marco that deletes a sheet in an active excel workbook.

How can I delete the sheet without user intervention ...Show All

• Visual Basic Web Service - Formatting XML Results...

  Hi all, I was able to create a Web Service using VB.NET 2005. One of my WebMethods returns the following results: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > < double xmlns =" http://www.xxx.xx/wservices " > 522 </ double > Instead of showing 522 result with the URL and data type, I'd like to show the filed name, like <stock>522</stock>.

• Visual Basic Can the standardoutput stream be forced to send latent data without closing?

  I launch a process (cmd.exe), redirect the input/output streams and can write/read to/from the process.  However, the process does not write to the output stream until a "new line" is detected. For example, if I issue the command "dir" and capture the output I will receive all the directory listing but I will not get the "C:\" prompt.  If I send a blank command (enter key) the prompt will show up.  It is in a buffer somewhere i ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connecting to an SMTP server to check availability

  Hi all, Does anyone know if it's possible via Vbscript to connect to port 25 on a remote SMTP server in order to determine whether it's accepting connections I've seen a few bespoke third party objects that can facilitate this but am wondering whether it can be done through vanilla Vbscript (running on server 2003 with the .net framework etc). I tried creating a shell object and invoking Telnet but it's behaviour is not condusive to what I ...Show All

• SQL Server Outputting result set to a destination

  I am able to store a result set from either an OLE DB connection using SQL command or by using an Execute SQL Control flow item.  I've done as explained by landing the data into a record set or by directly into a "foreach loop shredder".. further on in the flow I have no input columns to map to an output destination, because the values are stored in variables... how do I achieve this simple task   I have no inputs after landing in ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating Arrays of Controls in the Designer

  Hi, Before trying it, I thought I'd put this question to the group... I have 3 combo box controls, and I'd like them in an array (maybe I'll add one or two later on, for example) Now, the Windows Form Designer Code is 'untouchable', yet this would seem the only way I can achieve it. eg. private ComboBox combo1; private ComboBox combo2; private ComboBox combo3;   If I could change this in the Code Editor, I would probably just ...Show All
