  Hey can anyone tell me how to make an internet browser in VB (2005 or 6.0) completely from scratch As in NOT using the Web Browser Form that has everything pre-made. anyone know how im sure its possible It's possible. The best answer you're going to get is something like: 1 - start writing code 2 - fix bugs 3 - if it doesn't work yet, goto 1 It's just way too big a question for a forum. It's probably an appropriate question for someone to answer by writing a book. You need to connect, you need to parse HTML, you need to deal with plugins like Flash, etc. ...Show All

• .NET Development Obtaining a list of classes in an assembly

  Is it possible to programmatically obtain a list of classes within an assembly I have an assembly with >10 classes which are all inherited from the same base class. I'd like to create a static method which, based on certain criteria, will return an instance of one. Is this possible Regards, Robert You can use reflection to do that. Assembly asm = Assembly.LoadFrom (@"path to the assembly"); Type[] types = asm.GetTypes(); You then have an array of Type objects. You can check what the base-class for each type is, etc... ...Show All

• SQL Server Read/Write Performance

  Hello, We currently run sql 2005 server and also sql express in our dev environments. We use sql express as an offline store (smart client). We have a similar/exact schema on the sql 2005 server and also the express. We use the auto attach feature to connect to the express version of the database. Both the developer machines and the one that is running the sql 2005 server have exactly the same hardware configuration. The only difference may be that the server box is not running the VS.Net environment. The disk space etc is pretty much the same. Actually we run another database server(DB2) on the 2005 server machine. We have observed ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to modify or create new tables...

  Getting this message on my event log: .NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) - Failed to compile: Microsoft.ReportingServices.QueryDesigners, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91 . Error code = 0x80070002 For some reasons the dll can't be compiled. Try to restart the Optimization service und see if that works. If this is a showstopper for you now, stop the optimization services, as things will also work then. But you should then keep track of the issue and see how this can be solved.

• SQL Server Dataset Question

  I have a dataset which is calling a stored proc in my SSRS 2005 report. The stored proc just returns one value which is the result of a SUM in my stored proc's sql query. When I reference that field from my dataset, SSRS puts SUM() around the fieldname. This is causing an issue because I have a complicated expression in my table footer and need to just reference that field by it's name without SUM. Why is it putting SUM around my one field If I take out the SUM around that field, SSRS can't recognize it as a valid dataset field anymore I'm not quite sure I understand why you are putting Datasource as the field in parenthesis unl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BitmapImage.StreamSource best practice?

• Visual C# Size of an extra reference to an object.

  Hello, I was wondering. If I am using Win XP 32bit, and Visual studio 2005 how much extra memory does a refernce to an object take I.e: MyClass object1 = new MyClass(); MyClass object2 = object1;   How much extra space does object2 take here Is it just 32 bit Or does it hold a lot of extra infor like reference type and so on too. I need to know this 100% sure. Thanks in advance. - OO - Thanks for the info. Since this is just for a 3D demo for GDI+ I think I will try and hope that it is 4bytes all the time.
