• Visual Basic Need Help with WebService

  OK I give up..... I'm working in visual studio 2003 (VB) I'm trying to put something together to answer querys from a hardware device. The hardware can call a url and add a variable string IE: http://someserver/webservice mystringvariant Problem is a webservice doesn't like this format. But an aspx page doesn't respond with pure XML ergo it doesn't fly with the hardware. Neither does the webservice.amsx page for that mater... Note: page redirects don't work on the hardware either The hardware will only take pure XML as an answer. (we're dealing with CMXML if it helps, Cisco IP Phone) I need to take that string var ( Request.Query ...Show All

• .NET Development File Property - Keywords

  I am writing a program that loops through all files in a set of directories and displays them to the user. I have added a ,somewhat, search feature. I have given the user the ability to enter a search word. This text is compared with all the file names and if the text is within the name, it is added to the results. We were looking to add some kind of categorization or keywords to the file search functionality. I thought about putting tags in the files but I don't want to get into actually opening every file to do a search within. Anyways, opeing Word or Excel files with Readline commands contains formatting and other characters that ma ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Hyperlinks in Pocket Outlook

  Hello all, I just have a question about how Pocket outlook generates a hyperlink. If I sync a message containing the following: file://\Windows\Test.htm when I click on the link in the body of the message, nothing will happen. If I change this link to be either: file://\\Windows\Test.htm or file://Windows\Test.htm It will launch Internet Explorer, but I will always get the error message that says "The Network Path was not Found". This happens because of the extra slash. I only say this because in both cases the address bar of the browser reads file://\\Windows\Test.htm . Since it should read file://\Windows\Tes ...Show All

• Visual Basic Open

  Can someone tell me how to open an application manifest if you do not have .net on your computer. I don't know. What did you want to do A manifest file is for use by your exe. You say the machine does not have .NET on it, if so, then you can't run the app, so I can't understand what you're trying to achieve - to run the app you require the framework.

• Windows Forms WebBrowser Steals Focus

  Whenever the Navigate(URL) method is called the WebBrowser control steals the focus from the application once the URL is loaded. Is there anyway to prevent this I have an application that functions similar to outlook in that you click on results and they open in the preview. The preview window is a WebBrowser so I want the focus to remain on the results when I click one so that I can scroll through them with the arrow keys. However the WebBrowser steals the focus so that the arrow keys only scroll the web page. Thanks, Dan One possibility -- handle the WebBrowser's Navigated event and set focus back t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Accessing Web Test recorder from a Wizard.

  Hi, I want to create my own test template and launch the Web Test Recorder (similar to what the Web Test template is doing). Is this possible. Can the WebTest template be extended, or does one have create a new template. Thnx in advance. There's no way to programmatically launch the recorder.  The only thing you can do is set the LaunchRecorder attribute and open the web test file from a test project which will cause the recorder to start. Maybe you can try to detect when the recorder window closes and then set your wizard dialog as the foreground window. I hope that helps. Josh ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to apply an html format text to a label

  Hi, I am trying to assign an html format text to a label in a vb from. when i assign the text it displays the html tags in the label. how can i change the label text property to understand html format text. Atheeque You cannot do this directly as the Label control is simply a textual display control, not an HTML renderer. In order to have your HTML be displayed in the desired way you’ve got two options... you can either parse the HTML and determine the desired format and apply it to the Label (assuming the format specified by the HTML is possible for the Label to display) or you use a different control all together that i ...Show All
