• Visual Basic Frustrated at data source updates...

  I have been programming in VB6 and MS Access for about 3 years now and decided to move to VB2005. The walkthroughs are a great help especially with regards to data access.

The rule is that if anything in the row is populated, all fields are, so can test for any one field being prese ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form Flashing aint too flash.

  Just wondering what happened to Form.Flash and Form.StopFlash in Beta2 Thanks, Michael Weinhardt We removed the Flash API because it was too simplistic and failed to address the core scenario which is Messenger's use of flash. You could stop and start it, but you couldn't control duration, end state and several other aspects. We just had to pull the plug on this vs. making an investment we weren't sure woul ...Show All

• Windows Forms Requesting a computation to wait

  This concerns a windows application in which I want to do a short computation, display a message based on the result, and then go into a longer computation. However, the second computation apparently pushes the message off the queue, so that it does not appear until the second computation is finished. If I don't start the second computation until I click a button, everything works fine, but that's not the way I want to do it. Can I somehow tell ...Show All
