• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I count the vbCrLf's in a text string?

  Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: The user enters a 'Note' into a multiline TextBox. I then print out that note on a printed page. This is difficult, because, if he presses 'Enter' at the end of his lines, the text ends up overlapping the text that follows his note. I need to be able to count the vbCrLf's in his note, so that I can increment the y position. You can get the number of lines by using the Lines property that returns an array of strings. Dim nLineCount As Integer = TextBox1.Lines.Length ...Show All

• .NET Development Any Samples of IBindingListView

• Software Development for Windows Vista General questions about certificate use in application

  I am building a p2p application using the WCF peer channel.  I would like the messages between peers to be secure (signed and encrypted).  To do this I need to have each peer use a certificate that is unique to that user.  The only things I have found on creating certificates has to do with testing of code signing, not use in real applications.  What I think I need to do, but have not found a way to do in code are the following: 1) Using my certificate create a certificate for each license of my software. 2) From each license allow the user to create a certificate for that user's accounts (one license can have more than o ...Show All

• .NET Development DataGridView navigation problem with the enter(return) key

  Hi, I have a combobox which has 3 strings added in design time. They are Active, Disabled and Suspended which shows the state of the user. On the other hand I have a bindingsource which is bound to datatable called tblUser. In runtime, when the user navigates through the records in tblUser using a bindingnavigator, the combobox displays the correct state of the user via it`s databinding SelectedItem. The problem is that when I use the SelectedItem property to bind the combobox, there is always DataTable.ColumnChanged even fired whenever the user moves from one record to another. So although there is no change made to tblUser, the Statu ...Show All
