I can solve problem with double click on that warning but it doesn't work in design view (It works for building well).

View 3 RepliesI'm writing an in-house intranet application in ASP.NET and VB.NET. My 'customers' are beginner to medium-level users. All of our browsers are IE8 and above, standard.The application works great, except for one thing. The backspace key. When a user types an invalid number into a textbox, a RegularExpressionValidator and ValidatorCalloutExtender fire off and notify the user. Perfect. Except that, when the user closes the popup warning and notices the cursor is still flashing in the textbox, he/she feels it's time to hit the backspace key and delete that pesky field value.
Unfortunately, the browser interprets this action as a desire to go 'back' into the page history. My boss is screaming. His bosses are screaming. I have a headache.So, how can I turn off this behavior? I still need the backspace to eliminate characters in the textbox, but nothing else. Company policy here: Backspace is to delete characters from the screen. Nothing more, nothing less.
Strange vb.NET application behavior/One application e.g. does some recursive operations against a ftp server as it synchronizes a local directory with a remote directory. When this part is finished, recursively I loop through the local directory to compare each individual file with a hash code table file retrieved from remote to be sure the source file and the destination file are identical. The processing speed to me during the coding was really satisfactory, but all over sudden the all over performance has been reduced by factor 3. So what happened was I closed an application named TeamSpeak. As you can guess it took me a while to figure out what was happening. This behavior is reproducible even with other applications like Outlook or Winamp?To make it short: e.g. TeamSpeak is up and running, my application runs 3 times faster than without TeamSpeak up and running ... same code - no changes !!!
View 1 RepliesI have a combobox in a Windows form. I set the properties of the combobox as follow:
AutoCompleteMode: Suggest
AutoCompleteSource: ListIems
DropDownStyle: Simple
DataSource: some binding source
Problem when user enter value to the textbox and open the dropdown and filter out the dropdown list. When user mouse click an item in the dropdown list, it will not select the item and paste it to the textbox. User uses the down arrow to navigate to the item and click on the "enter" key and it will not paste the selected item to the textbox. The only way to select an item is using the down arrow key to navigate to an item and then "Tab" away and it will paste the selected item to the textbox.I want to be able to use mouse click or "enter" key to select an item from teh dropdown list.I want to set the DropDownStyle as "Simple" so user can think it is "textbox" and start entering value to it.

I currently have a silverlight application which has silverlight class library. The silverlight class library has a WCF service reference which works as expected for small data. However we have come across a problem which is caused by the default value of maxItemsInObjectGraph. We have tested it with an increased value (called from vb app set in behaviour) and it works however we are unsure how to set the value of maxItemsInObjectGraph when it is in a silverlight class library (as it is only defined in the clientconfig file and no services are added to the client). I have seen posts about adding it to the web.config but this only seems to apply when the service is called directly by the app not by a class library?
View 1 RepliesI am primarily a C# developer; however, I am currently working on a project for a client who preferred VB.net. I have managed to switch over fairly well, with one frustrating exception. When editing a C# file in Visual Studio pressing enter will select an item out of the IntelliSense window and keep the cursor at the end of the selected statement.
However, when editing a VB file, pressing enter selects the item out the IntelliSense popup AND moves the cursor to the next line. I realize that this is a small thing, but it drives me crazy, because it makes it really hard to switch between C# and VB projects.
I have searched for everything I can think of in Google and found nothing. Does anyone know of a way to change the IntelliSense selection behavior?
I have a userControl (.NET 1.1 Winforms) that has a clickable picturebox as a button.Since I have lots of those usercontrols visible at the same time, I thought It could be nice if I just display the picture box when the mouse is over the usercontrol and hide it otherwise.To do so, I handle the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of the UserControl, hiding and displaying the picturebox. That works fine.But when the clickable picturebox is visible I'm not longer able to click it (the hand cursor is gone and the click event is not firing).After some test, I realize that if comment all content on the MouseLeave handler that do something with my picturebox... this way the picturebox is clickable.I'm not using the correct event?
Here is the code...
Private Sub NodoEstablo_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.pictAdd.Visible = False
End Sub
[code]....
Update:If I resize the picturebox on MouseLeave (just to do something) it works.So far, changing Visible and Location in the MouseLeave prevent me for click the picturebox.
I have an unbound datagridview control whose first column is a combo box This contains a list of part numbers.I am having some problems with the datagridview automtically adding a new row when the combo box item is selected.If I select an entry from the data by typing in part number in full in the first row and pressing tab or enter then I get a new row created. No problems.However, if I then START typing a part number in the second row AND click on the part number in the list that is suggested then I DO NOT get a new row.However, if, on the first row I START typing a part number AND click on the part number in the list that is suggested I DO get a new row.

View 2 RepliesI have noticed that the immediate window in VS 2010 behaves differently when debugging a C# project and a VB.NET project, although I haven't been able to find any specific documentation of this difference.
For C# projects, I can simply type in any expression, and it will be evaluated and displayed, i.e.
[Code]...
All other expressions exhibit the same behavior, including simple math such as '1 + 2'. Sometimes the error message is different though, as 1 + 2 results in the error 'Labels that are numbers must be followed by colons.'Is there a way to 'fix' this behavior and make the VB.NET immediate window behave more like the C# one? Having to type a ? in front of every statement can be a pain when using it frequently.
The MyClass keyword behaves like an object variable referring to the current instance of a class as originally implemented. MyClass is similar to Me, but all method calls on it are treated as if the method were NotOverridable. I can see how that could kind of be useful, in some specific scenarios. What I can't think of is, how would you obtain the same behavior in C# - that is, to ensure that a call to a virtual method myMethod is actually invoked against myMethod in the current class, and not a derived myMethod (a.k.a in the IL, invoking call rather than callvirt)?
View 3 RepliesI'm using the following to read a serial port. When run it displays the data correctly but stepping through the program I find that it loops through the serialdatarecieved event for each character of the port input rather than reading all of it. So _msg only equals one letter at a time. I'm trying to set a variable equal to the entire input stream but only get one character of it.The end goal is to capture all of the data available on the port when the event triggers so that this data can then be processed. I tried using the bytestoread function, which gets the correct number of bytes to read, and then looped through to read a byte at a time but that didn't seem to work as I expected either. It just kept reading the first byte.

I'm creating a windows forms program and have recently noticed a large amount of memory slowly being eaten by the application. I went through my program and tried to tie up as many loose ends as I could in relation to object creation but noticed that the program would still keep memory for every form loaded until it eventually crashed.
I decided to make a simple test program which sole purpose is to pop-up a new form with a few controls, wait for 200 milliseconds, then close the form and repeat the process 30 times every time I hit a button. I found it caused the same behavior, even with the only new object creation being that of the form. So, I decided to manually invoke the garbage collector in a subroutine which handles the formclosed event. During tests I would get some memory back occasionally, but not enough to make a difference in the long run. So I start setting the form variable to nothing before I called GC.collect(). The program will initially eat a few 1000K of memory before leveling off and using only 20-40K for every 30 forms created.
Now what I'm wondering is, what is the point of an automated garbage collection system if it requires constant manual evocation and explicit dereferencing of all new objects to be effective? Have I completely lost grasp on the scope of VB.Net forms and it simply never marks forms as available memory to be cleared?I would have thought object memory references created within a form would be marked as usable when the form's close or dispose routine is called and no references to objects created within the form exist anywhere outside the closed form.
I am developing an application in Visual Basic under Visual Studio 2008 Professional. As part of this application I am using a third-party ActiveX control (.ocx file). After building the installer (.msi file) using the deployment tools in Visual Studio, I tested it on a clean system. The install appeared to run successfully--folders are created, files are copied, and the .ocx is registered. However, when I tried to run the application I received an error telling me "You must have a license to use this ActiveX control." This would be expected on the development machine, but should not happen on the client system, i.e., in the runtime environment.
On previous builds of the application, I did not receive this error. Besides updates to the application itself (the part I created, that is), I was using NSIS to create the installer, rather than the tools in Visual Studio. The application cannot run without the .ocx in question, so this error is a show-stopper.
