• Windows Forms Keyword is "mari"

  Congrats David !! I can do nothing !!! Well, it looks like my original plan has worked after all. The aggressive behavior of asgard32 towards mari was able to drive them out gradually. Now I can see more varieties of other herbivor ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild conditional import and Visual Studio IDE

  Hi all, First of all, apologies if this is the wrong group - the problem I'm experiencing seems to be in the MSBuild hosted in the VS IDE, rather than the command-line MSBuild. I have vcproj files with conditional imports (to pull in MSBee build rules for a FX1.1 build). These build fine from the command line with the relevant conditional parameters set - I use a condition of: Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'Win32 (.NET 1.1)'" so I can i ...Show All

• .NET Development Sudden JavaScript errors on ASP.NET page

  Just two days ago, my ASP.NET web application was running fine. Then, yesterday all items on a page that used JavaScript started to throw "Object expected" errors, but I was unable to pinpoint any changes that could have caused such errors. Now the problem seems to be spreading to other pages within the application. Are there any other documented cases of sporadic JavaScript problems in ASP.NET web applications ...Show All

• Visual C++ Excessive rebuilds

  I have quite a bit of base code (a bunch of header files) that I reuse for many of my programs; I store them in a folder /Common Code/, and it has always worked fine. Just yesterday, without (knowingly) doing anything wrong, any program that I have that includes these header files forces a rebuild of all source files whenever I try to run or compile it, even when I haven't changed any code. I'm guessing that I accidentally toggled some command ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WorkflowTrace.log being generated in Beta2

  Hey WWF team, My workflow code is writing trace messages using System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(), which I view normally in DebugView. As of Beta2, I find that in my bin directory there is being generated a file called "WorkflowTrace.log" that contains 95% of these lines, and it sure ain't my code that is creating that file. Is this expected How can I turn this off Riley Hi Arjun, I wish ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form closes but doesn't free memory.

  Is there a certain way you have to close a form to free memory up I'M currently using formname.close but i never notice my memory go down. Any Ideas Just as a point here - the form may remain in memory long after you have closed it. This is because .NET uses a process called the garbage collection process which will periodically come along and find all unreferable objects of which a form is one, in memory and reclaims the memory. So ...Show All

• Visual Studio Shared files are not marked with any special icon

  I noticed that source safe shared files are not marked with any special icon in the solution explorer. This is very inconvinient, since anybody can forget that a file is shared and harm other projects using it! Thanks for reporting this. I opened a suggestion bug for this, but it's unlikely we are going to change this behavior for VS 2005 release. Hopefully we'll fix it in next realease... Thanks, Alin ...Show All

• Visual Basic An Efficient Way to Check String Variables?

  I have a program that needs to check through strings and retrieve contents from them. The strings are formatted like so: ex: dim string1 as string = "5467,5829 keyword" Now, what I need to do is to check to see if input from a textbox matches the text in place of "keyword", and if it does, to then extract the pixel coordinates at the beginning of that particular string to then be converted into integers. So, I was lo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development is '^' a special character for socket communication?

  this might be a general question rather than specific to the compact framework but i got it on my CF app i'm sending an xml file across to a desktop machine via Socket basically the psudo code looks like byte[] bytes = ConvertStringToByte( XmlDocument.OuterXml ); Socket.Send( bytes ); it works 99% of the time but in two cases, where i have a '^' character in the middle of the xml documents and the receiving side just stops at the '^' and therefo ...Show All

• Windows Forms string

  I would like to make sure the entered value in a text box on the windows form is as follows: 1)it must be seven characters long 2) it must comprise of the first character being a letter 3)and the following six characters being numerical digits.
