I want to display some text for a user - blocks of text about "vendors" - that can be scrolled.
I might want the first vendor to be a different color - or be bold.
I might want certain fields in the "text blurb" about each vendor to be bold - or underlined - or a different color.
In VB6 I would have used a RTB - would that still be the solution??

View 4 RepliesI am not sure of the proper, or best, way to use Settings and Resources. For now I use the default project wide My.Settings and My.Resources. I have a class that I would like to reuse in other projects, so adding project wide settings or resources in each project doesn't sound proper, nor does creating constants and variables within the class itself.I'm guessing there is a way to give a class its own resource file, and maybe even settings file, but I'm not sure how to do it. I tried adding a resource file with the same name (but with .resx extension) and I got a weird error saying I was trying to edit a resource that is apart of another project. I continued, but it didn't seem to be what I wanted and I wasn't sure how to access that new resource.

I took a look at System.Security.Cryptography.MD5 class about using a checksum for a UDP program i am making.Basically i want to use it, to ensure the server is receiving what the client sends it, in a way that the server can make note of it receiving properly without having the client keep track of how many proper payloads the server received. The reason i need a checksum is because the client is sending a random hex payload, so i cant have the server predict what it should receive the same way as i have it working with the sequence number.I dont fully understand how i could implement this to my code. I believe i should make a public property in my packet class, but im having trouble implementing it with the way i coded my program. [code]
View 39 RepliesI have a thread running on my application that checks a database every so often to decide whether or not to update nodes in a treeview.
Each treeview node represents a document and I have an open button that opens the document for the user.
When the document is opened, I wanted to suspend the thread that refreshes the node list until the document is closed.
I have MyThread.Suspend and MyThread.Resume. But the document viewer is on another thread.
I created functions for suspending/resuming the thread in the application. I have delegates in the viewer to call those functions from another thread. But I'm still getting an Error. "Thread is not user-suspended. Cannot be resumed" or something of the like.
But I realize that Suspend and resume are obsolete functions, so what class or objects should I be looking into and if it didn't take up too much of your time, a small example as well?
I'm making a console game that shows some data:
#: Item Name Item Slot Cost Item Price
in that order. The thing I want to do is to make it come out in nice even columns...but I can't seem to make it do that. It comes it out in nasty uneven rows that don't look attractive...
Basically, here's what it looks like now:
1. Sword Slots: 2 Price: $40
2. W. Stick Slots: 4 Price: $1
I want to get each column to line up nicely with the other (since I control the size name).
What is the proper way of working with percentages and DataGridView and dividing by zero..In my code I am attempting to divide two numbers, sometimes one of the numbers is zero..Then I need to add a column to my datagrid, I think i need it to be decimal? So i can sort it later. I had it as a string and everything worked fine excpet i couldnt sort properly.[code]If I change column to Double it handles it fine, then i am not sure how to read the value as a percentage?

The examples given in the MSDN library refer to versions older than Express 2008 with (apparently) different syntax options for FileFormat.Based on the snippet shown, I get a COM exception error (800A03EC). Other variations produce the same error.
Am I improperly applying the Automation features?

How would I change the Solution/Build name? VB saves the project in a folder, how would I change the name of the

As far as I know , it is possible to combine projects into a solution . So , lets say we have 3 projects . Each project has a starting form , lets call them SF1 , SF2 and SF3 .What I would like to ask you is how can I write code in order to have both the solution and the partial projects , working . You see , the solution (which as far as I know will also be accompanied by a new project) has to have a starting form ; lets call it SF0 .A) First of all I'd like to know how can I call a partial project from the solution itself .B) What code do I have to write in the partial projects in order to keep them running correctly when they are separate (that is not part of the solution) . I am asking this question too , because as I guess , there has to be code in SF1 , SF2 and SF3 (into buttons) that lead back to SF0 , but

View 2 RepliesI've been doing some lite coding over the last couple years so I'm no where near where a lot of you already are.

Why use multiple projects in one solution?

In the Solution Explorer window, is it possible to change the highlight color of selected items *when the form does not have focus*?For example, selecting a module in the Solution Explorer highlights that module's name in Blue, then when the focus is lost by moving to another window in the IDE, that blue highlight becomes a very, very light gray (on some LCD monitors in particular). I'd like to make that light gray a bit easier to see.Is this possible? I'm running VS2008 SP1 on Vista 64.
View 2 RepliesWhen the Visual Basic compiler (Vbc.exe) crashes, Visual Studio fails to detect this and becomes stuck in an inoperable state. The "Build" menu appears as it would if the solution were building, but the Cancel Build (Ctrl+Break) menu item has no effect. Trying to close the application or the solution gives the error:
"The build must be stopped before the solution can be closed."
I can't find any way to remedy this short of terminating the devenv.exe process and restarting Visual Studio completely. Is there anything quicker and less severe?
Some of my students end up with a different icon in the Solution Explorer when they create applications. An example is the attached Exam.vb icon, which includes a little arrow into the normal Form icon (see pic) . I am guessing it means it is linked some how. When the application is zipped and submitted, an error is thrown when I unzip it to grade it which indicates that the file in not part of the project, and it references the absolute address on the original application.Any idea what caused this and how can I instruct the students to avoid it in the future?
View 5 RepliesIt must be to close to the weekend, but I thought I read at some time an article of an easy way to have a common settings file for both application and user settings across a solution.

Stupid question, but how do I get access to this Explorer? The says: To create a performance session for Windows client application:
(1) Open the solution in the Visual Studio IDE.
(2) On the <B>Analyze</B> menu, click <B>Launch Performance Wizard</B>.
(3) From the <B>Which of the following available targets would you like to profile?</B> drop-down list, select the name of the application that you want to profile, and then click <B>Next</B>. You can add more binaries later.
(4) Accept the default Sampling profiling method, and then click Next.
(5) Click <B>Finish</B>.
Only problem is that there is no <B>Analyze</B> menu in the IDE.
