I have a GUI app that has been developed and tested on an XP sp2 box that has a strange problem when brought over to a 2003 server. The application loads and exists in the processes list, but the GUI never loads. The main form consists of a few labels, buttons, and panels. Strangly, though I can't see the form, it is still there. I can tab over an appropriate number of times to reach a button that loads a different form and hit enter and the second form loads. If i maximize the invisible GUI from the task list I can't interact with anything under it, even though I can still clearly see everything. I have tracing throughout my form class initialization and my form lo…

I'm a newbie when it comes to setting up a Gateway account. I've downloaded the software for Orbital Gateway Virtual Terminal and I'm trying to figure out what files to upload to my client's server. She has a ssl layer and I'm programming in ASP .NET. Any help?

I have created a template field and inserting a checkbox into the field. I have name the checkbox as: "chkReceipient". I am trying to loop through the grid and check the checkbox in each row to determine if it is checked or not. If the checkbox is checked do something with that row, otherwise move on to the next row. Here is my code: For inti = 0 To GridView1.Rows.Count - 1 Dim rowCheckBox As CheckBox = GridView1.Rows(inti).FindControl("chkReceipient") If rowCheckBox.Checked = False Then dstMembers.Tables("dstMembers").Rows.Add(myRow) End If Next The problem that I am having is that the rowCheckBox.Check…

Hi, Thanks for your time. I have a naive C# question about dynamic creation of objects. MyClass a = new MyClass(); works but MyClass [] a = new MyClass[2]; does not...It does not give any errors but the value is null and when I try to invoke a method on the class it gives an exception {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."} Am I missing something simple? Thanks again. G

I cannot find the following Windows Update in Microsoft's webiste: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 2.0 (KB928365) I can install it using Windows Auto Update, but cannot find it to download it to my system. Does anyone know where is it? Thanks.

I upgraded a simple VB6 app to VB.NET. It worked fine, but I found something odd. In the IDE, the controls (buttons and textboxes) look like they normally do in VB.NET. But when I run the program, they take on the VB6 appearance (square cornered buttons and shaded textboxes). This still happens if I add a new form into the newly converted project and add new controls onto it. How can I make all the controls (converted and newly added) in a converted app appear like they do with a brand new VB.NET app at run-time?

At the moment, I have a side-task of reading an XMLFile that looks like this: there is an unlimited/unpredictable number of headeritem nodes and Table1 nodes. The task is to create one BulletedList (DisplayMode = Hyperlink) object per headeritem with headeritem's <text> and <url> values as the Text and URL as the link. And then go through all the Table1 nodes and populate each BulletedList with the Text and url nodes/values per list. this is what I have presently: protected void xPathLoad() { XmlDocument d = new XmlDocument(); d.Load(Server.MapPath("/My_Page/App_Data/footer.xml")); foreach (XmlNode header in d.SelectNodes("//headerItem"))…

I have a question regarding the uploading of files to a ASP.Net & SQL 2k5 based application. After the user uploads their file to the server, I usually save the file name in a table, and rename actual file to match the unique ID of the promotion (1 attachment per promotion). This way I don't have to worry about duplicate filenames. However, when they hover over the link to view the attachment, they will see the path the actual file, which is /folder/123 instead of /folder/yourattachment.pdf. Which in turn makes it difficult for the browser to know which application to open the attachment with. Is there a workaround for this? Something like renaming the file ju…

Hi there, i've got a problem with one of my games, which causes a black screen after starting it on a friends machine. On my pc it's running perfectly and also on a lot other PCs too. But only ony PC shows up a black screen, without entering the menu of the game. The PC, on which a black screen is displayed, has a 8800 GTX with the newest drivers installed (my PC also has a 8800 GTX, so that's shouldn't ne the problem). The OS is XP/SP2, with the newest DX installed. BTW. the game uses Managed DirectX and .NET 2.0 (also installed on each machine) After googling around, I've read that there are also a lot of other games, which have the same problem on sever…

I have subclassed the ToolStrip and ToolStripProfessionalRenderer to make a toolbar work much like of Thunderbird's (version 2) options dialog. I have that goal accomplished but I have a little issue... I also tried to override the OnPaint event of ToolStrip so I could 2 little lines just below the ToolStrip, but for some reason, it's producing unexpected results. The first 2 buttons in the ToolStrip also have parts of those lines painted above them and I can't see why that's happening. The strange thing is, it only happens on the first 2 buttons (I tried to delete them and re add them, but it didn't work). Below, there's a screenshot and the code: http://stuff.n…

Hi, I have a combobox on a form, I noticed that unlike the dropdownlist in asp.net which has a collection of ListItems the combobox can hold any object. So I created a ListItem class to use. Public Class ListItem Dim _text, _value As String Property Text() As String Get Text = _text End Get Set(ByVal val As String) _text = val End Set End Property Property Value() As String Get Value = _value End Get Set(ByVal val As String) _value = val End Set End Property Sub New(ByVal inText As String, ByVal inValue As String) Me.Text = inText M…

I've got a tabcontrol within a tabcontrol, it has 4 tabs which all contain controls that i'm databinding to, for example chkLive.Databindings.Add("checked",currentVehicle,"isLive") This all works fine apart from the databinding doesn't seem to happen until you click on each individual tab. I have a button to do something based on the value of one of the databound checkboxes, but its value is always false unless I click on that individual tab first, in which case it changes to true. I've tried this to solve the problem ' workaround for databinding to child tabs bug For Each tab As TabPage In tabControlMarketingDetails.TabPages tabControlMarketingDetails.Se…

Hi All, I have web page that has a table, in the table there is a repeater. Two of the columns in the repeater have XML in them that can be quite big. What I wanted to do is when the repeater shows this table is have a button/link saying view xml for each row in these two columns. If the user clicks the link, that particular field for that row/column would show its XML. It would be nice to use an AJAX control, I was looking at: http://ajax.asp.net/ajaxtoolkit/CollapsiblePanel/CollapsiblePanel.aspx. But I am not sure if this would be the best solution. If anyone has any ideas please reply. I hope this post makes sense. Cheers, Dave.
