• Visual C# How to pass values to another form?

  Hi , I had a login screen where by I will store the employee id. May I know how to pass the employee id to another form or class Please help. Thanks. Expose it as a property, then you can grab it from the form instance that created it. If you want to expose it elsewhere, you'd have to hook up a delegate ( i.e. set up an event that you can fire from the login screen, which is hooked to a method where-e ...Show All

• Visual Studio aspnet_compiler exiting with error code

  Hi, I am converting a 1.1 project to 2.0, and have gotten to the point of needing to deploy.  Understanding 2.0's asp.net compilation model, I don't want to deploy our .cs files to the production server, so we have to pre-compile.  I have been trying the built in vs2005 procedures, the command line aspnet_compiler, and also the Web Deployment Plugin.  All of them seem to run perfectly, however, at the end of the task, NOTHING e ...Show All

• Windows Forms Whidbey BackgroundWorker component fails in Form Load event

  I'm trying to use the new BackgroundWorker component (Whidbey) in a sample VB.NET WinForms project. I've followed the examples on MSDN and can successfully recreate and run those examples. All of those examples though have the background process kicked off from a button on the form; i.e. the RunWorkerAsync method of the BackgroundWorker object is called from the click event of a button. If I do this same thing but instead try to kick off the b ...Show All

• .NET Development Just some advice

  I have been writing classes and implementing events. I originally came from VB6 so my event definitions would look something like this: Public Event PortStatus( ByVal Status As String , ByVal ColorOfTxt As Color) Public Event MsgReceived( ByVal ThisPackage As UDPPackage) Public Event DisplayDiags( ByVal DiagStat As String ) In my code I would just use RaiseEvent to raise the event.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions on workflow types

  Hello,   I have a number of questions about workflow types.   As I understand it, there are two workflow types available out-of-the-box with WWF: sequential and state machine.   With sequential workflows, I believe the flow is generally top down from the initial activity to a final activity.   The path is well defined; activities like ‘While’ allow the workflow to repeat contained activities and the ‘IfElse’ activity al ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VMR9 and HD Resolution Video

  I've been having some problems with displaying DivX HD Video in my application that uses DirectX9 together with VMR9. I have been talking about problems with VMR9 before and that the only solution so far have been putting a Sleep(10) in the render loop to get rid of (I guess) blocking problems. The blocking has for me caused problems with the video not playing in full frame rate. Now, the problem is that to get DivX HD (for example) content to p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Autosizing the ReportViewer winforms control

  The autosizing of the winforms reportviewer doesn't seem to work. I set the autosize property to true, and the autosizemode to either GrowOnly or GrowAndShrink, but the control never changes sizes.
