• Visual Basic REALLY Weird "Threading Problem" - Hard to explain

  Hello all. I''m currently in the [process of making an audio player application that will read out MP3 tag information using the Speech library (the MS Text-To-Speech thing - like the one in control panel.) Well, I had built the application using the VB .NET 2005  Betas, and it worked fine throughout - no problems. I downloaded the final version of both the framework and VB IDE itself. I compiled & ran, and got some strange error that ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem - save files to new type and folder, Net 2005

  Have folder of image files with .tif type. Need to save each file to:  (1) .jpg type, and  (2) a new folder. If I open the file manually and "Save as" to new file type .jpg, the file is saved OK and the file size is reduced from 1194 KB to 76 KB.  MSDN article "How to: Save Files Using the SaveFileDialog Component" has sample code, but not exactly what I need. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sf ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data driving unit tests but not from database

  I love that the unit test framework lets you data drive your tests using the Data Source value in the TestMethod attribute. However, I don't love the idea of driving it from a database table. Creating a db table and populating it for each of my data driven test methods is a pain. This is overkill for the job. What I really want to do is just create a CSV file that I can use as the data source. I can then put the csv right in the project beside t ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS web search results in Firefox

  I'm having trouble getting WDS to provide web search results in Firefox. I understood this function was simply supposed to load up my default browser (firefox) and pass it " example query". This should go to my default search page and list results for "example query". However, I'm taken to the page "file:///C:/ %20example%20query" instead. If I type the string " query" into the location bar in FF directly ...Show All

• Visual Basic Can i sell what i make

  can i sell what i make with visual basic 2005 beta 2 App will not be time restricted but the IDE will stop working I think. Also, the license says that the end user has to obtain the target from Microsoft which means that the .NET Framework Beta 2 may expire which means that your app also does not work. A good idea would be to change the date on ur machine to May 1th 2006 and see what happens - that will elimin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Updating a dataset help...

  Allright, well it seems simple enough, but I'm kind of stuck. First of all, I'm using VS 2005.

After I delete a row from my table, I want to save the data; thus, I click the save button on the navigator toolbar. Here is the code that is automatically generated when the toolbar is created to handle the save ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView problems

  So I use the VS2005 designer to lay out my columns for the DataGridView and all looks well in the designer.  When the form loads I'm trying to fill the DataGridView and as far as I can tell (AFAICT   ) I can either use a datasource or just try to work with the actual cells.  The first method seems more natural so I'm trying to take that route (this is in the form.Load event handler): DataTab ...Show All
