  1. It looks raised when I hover the mouse over it, and depressed when I click it. Is that what you mean?
  2. I was directing the question to the original poster, sorry for the confusion.
  3. Don't get me started on Microsoft Help 2.0. The whole xml/ namespace thing is very convoluted. I don't have any problem with the interface (although the help viewer is only a temporary one until MS releases the real help viewer).
  4. Is this really ASP.NET, or just ASP?
  5. Ok CL, I actually trust your advice as much or more than anything I read.
  6. It is documented in MSDN, but it has a strange message I don't understand.
  7. Good to know there are other way divil. MSDN for .net is taking some getting used to in searching.
  8. I would look into the ResourceManager class. Looks like images are a bit of a pain. You might also need to look into the resxgen and resgen tools.
  9. If you have any code in Closing or Closed events on your form(s), you need to unload your forms first, because Exit() will bypass raising these events.
  10. Perhaps you might want to look at... Private Sub Form1_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing 'Can cancel this one End Sub 'or Private Sub Form1_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closed '... End Sub
  11. Since COM support in .Net is mostly for backwards compatibility, I think it is safe to say that .Net DLL assemblies that act as ActiveX DLLs are going to be slower than native ActiveX DLLs. Also, you will have to install the complete .net framework just to use the rewritten DLLs.
  12. Maybe System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (haven't tried it myself yet).
  13. Well, after I get my $300 rebate for getting it on DVD, my MSDN Universal Subscription will cost $1725. That includes an incredible amount of stuff, not just vs.net, but all O/S and Office products up to the Developer's edition and SQL Server 2000 developers. It is such a good deal, I can't hardly believe it. Of course, it is an upgrade price because I am already a registered VS6 enterprise user.
  14. I see nothing wrong with your questions, and thanks for clearing up the confusion I had about your original question. Sounds like XP Home and the Pro version of VB.Net would be fine for you.
  15. However divil, XP home is no more likely to run on a pre-2000 made computer than XP Pro.
  16. It also runs on NT4/Win2K. One of these O/S should be able to run on a computer that can run Win98se (possibly need more memory). The upgrade prices are actually better than when I upgraded from VS5 to VS6.
  17. No you aren't missing something, they didn't include a .net version.
  18. Too bad that most VBians never learned enough OOP concepts to really be comfortable with VB.Net. I haven't even gotten my VS.Net installed yet, but from the .Net books I have been studying, almost everything seems comfortable and natural (wish I could say everything, but it seems they still had to make some tradeoff decisions).
  19. Quite true, thus I can never seem to get over the surprise that people express when I or someone else tells them that the latest and greatest from MS is just version x of someone else's idea. I always thought it was an advantage when learning something new, to understand its roots. Chances are, once the latest lingo has been translated into terms I already know, I am 75-90% of the way in completely understanding it.
  20. It can be both. The point is, it isn't revolutionary, it is merely evolutionary, and hardly original.
  21. It isn't just VB.Net, it is all the .Net languages. They are all based on the same runtime. The .Net framework is MS answer to the jave virtual machine.
  22. I have been saying this for a long time now. MS didn't roll over and die when they lost their lawsuit with Sun, they just decided to reinvent java and call it something else.
  23. From what divil posted, it should be part of the .net sdk. That is not the IDE, just the compiler.
  24. re: ChiefRedBull Chief, was there any one of the four you consider your best and favorite? It is not an exact science converting css into style files and I probably wouldn't do more than one of them right now.
  25. re: VolteFace I think it is either an illusion, or you still have some things messed up on your computer. Here are the tags I see at the start and end of a [ code ] block. <blockquote><pre><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" >code:</font> </pre><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="2"></blockquote> These are the normal tags that are placed all through the forum pages.
