You don't search for the content you are after. look at the HTML *around* your values.
If your data is in a textbox, and the html looks like "<input id='indicator' style='text' value='some value'>", search for "<input id='indicator'", then crawl through looking for "value=" then parse the value from the quotes

Well, I already suggested you try loading it into an Xml.XmlDocument, you can then use the .SelectNodes, .SelectSingleNodes, and .Children to navigate around.

Failing that, use functions such as InStr, Mid, and Split to find key identifying phrases and manually compute the data

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/165844/WCF-Client-Server-Application-with-Custom-Authenti has some code showing you how to use System.Security.Cryptography.AesCryptoServiceProvider

Most systems never let you actually view the old/current password, they actually just let you set a new one. Usually you'll see an option like "Reset Password", you'll see these never ask for the old password, only a new one, and is usually done by an administrator (to prevent any user resetting any other user's password and thus gaining access).

Hope that helps, if so, please accept and rate; Thanks

Interestingly, this link does provide one method of doing it. So I'll probably take a look at this

Mono is basically an "open" version of .NET; which means applications should run the same on both .NET and Mono platforms (There are some discrepancies, check out their site for more information - http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page)

However, you are correct, Mono for Android does cost money. I'm not aware of any free builds (if somebody else does, please let me know too).

You don't even use XmlDocument in that function, how can you use XPathNavigator?

Sounds like you're working in a different area to what you're posting your question on.

As indicated in Solution 2 - You need an a single root element (say called <messages>)
Then you can do XmlDoc.FirstChild.InnerXml &= strDetails (be sure to delete the line where you set "

My bad, I didn't read. I assumed it was an Xml.XmlDocument object (with the reference to Xml.XmlNode). Why not just use Xml.XmlDocument? It also has a save function for writing out to a text file. It actually lets you manipulate the Xml based on nodes too

I'm afraid I don't understand your question then. You asked how to get contents of a textbox into a report. You add a report parameter to be used in the rdlc file, then use SetParameters to set the parameter with the textbox's content. If that's not what you were after, please could you elaborate a bit more? Thanks

I've added an edit. Basically it was the location of your final field, that you had put after the "FROM" section of the query

Can also use "Nz(a,b)" :)

Your subject, and "question" are two different things. You'll want to look into GDI+ as a starting point if you want to do image manipulation

That threw me, because the image shows up if you just force it in the <asp:Image>, but you're correct. If you want to add it in the solutions section, I'll vote you.

Cheers

I can read pretty well, thank you. The OP has a programming language that takes console text input. What they have asked for is a way to write an application with a textbox that sends text from that textbox to the console as input to the programming language. There is *no* reference to wanting to "compile" the text.

It's a useful post, but not really relevant to the question asked. The OP was not asking preferences on languages, compiled or not. They were asking how to write text to a console mode application

Could you not change your lanuage to read code from files instead of the console? Then you'd be able to use any existing text editor (in addition to writing your own, if you still wanted)

I'm not going to write the code for you. Have a look at making a project with 2 forms, where one mimics the size of the other. Once you get that working, make the "mimic" form follow the position of the other form. Then you can look at making the mimic form borderless and transparent, and adding shadow graphics.

There's a couple of ways of doing this.

1. You use GDI+ to access the DeviceContext of the screen, and draw all the shadows yourself
2. You create a new translucent form with a graphic for the the "shadows" on, and position it underneath your main form. When your main form is resized or moved, you'd need to update this form too

Hope that helps

"If this is VB.NET for real (as in a web based app)"
What an odd statement. Why would a web-based app make "VB.NET for real"? If anything, VB.NET should be "real" for desktop applications, since that is where the roots of VB lie. By the by though

Yes, I just told you why you can't just do what you're doing. Files need headers to tell the video players details such as codecs used, how many streams there are etc. You are just copying a chunk of data into a file, players will not know how to process that data.

Also, how are you knowing where each "minute" (I'm assuming that's what you mean by "mint") occurs? Are you just dividing the file size by the length of time?

You really need to read up on file structures, or just use download an application - there are plenty of free ones

I can't help you on how to do it, but you can't just "chop" an AVI file in half. An AVI is what's known as a container and contains information about the streams contained within it. Such as video dimensions, codecs, audio bitrate, and length (time). To split the stream you need to create a new AVI with a new header with the new information

Interesting. You're right, no it doesn't fix his problem, but it fixes his "setCounter" method.

The problem is that, Landstar, you're setting your variable *after* you've displayed the dialogue, so it'll always be zero, regardless of if the button was pushed or not.

I'll update my solution

Can you show us your code to loading the report in the first place? Can you process any reports that don't consume sub-reports?

Title says it all - they can't be bothered, why should we?

Why did you submit this as a "solution" if you can't actually help?

DBNull.Value is not the same as nothing, which is what this line is trying to check. As I've just said in my edit, it's apparently nothing to do with this line, and is the line above (looks like the debugger was stopping on the wrong line for me). So I think I can get this sorted now.

Thanks anyway

I made the change you suggested. I'm afraid the exception raises on the "If IsDBNull(record.Rows(0).Item("fcurr")) Then" bit and the ToString makes no difference.

I can't ToString() the first bit, because that would make the IsDBNull() fail everytime. Also, it's happening on fields that are integers etc. as well :(

No problems

I answered your additional question in my first post - You need to handle the Paint event of the PictureBox, then using e.Graphics draw rectangles (or circles etc.) at your stored 20 points

Copy/pasting the original query doesn't clarify things. If you're looking for an FTP library, I'd recommend jptros's
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10968/C-FTP-Client-Library

I tried that - but again, didn't put the runat=server. Thanks

Have a look at the Clipboard object, you can retrieve clipboard data using that, and use RichText.Selected* properties to overwrite the selected text with the data from the clipboard

Is this a WinForms application or a website?

You've already asked this "question" here : http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/354324/dynamic-video-uploading-from-youtube You don't need to post twice.

What method are you using to extract the frame? Also, what type of videos are you working with?

Also, one thing to be aware of, some video codecs do not store the whole frame "bitmap", but rather changes from the previous frame (except for "key frames", which do. These are what allow you to seek videos)

An option you can try - depending on what container you're using is add a secondary video (or audio) stream into the container. Most players won't play them without being "selected". So it'd be relatively unknown, and easy to parse back out

Sure you can. I can't remember the exact syntax, VB6 was a while ago, but something like this

[code]
If Instr(varName, " ") <> -1 Then ContainsDoubleSpace = True
[/code]

That's not VB6 code

Well, yeah, urm, look at any company? I don't think I've ever known a company to retain every single employee ever (unless it folds pretty quickly).

I'm struggling to see what you are trying to get at here? Are you trying to tell me "the right way" is to not show people records that are no longer link to active data?

Say you have 2 sales people in your department, one of them puts an order on the system, it's linked to their sales code because they get commision off it. But then say they get fired or get another job and leave - the order will still need to be viewed so the other sales person can chase up any queries, however, it'll want to retain the original sales code, because it was their sale.

How else could you do this scenario?

It does bind to the header table, and it has Status as the datasource (for options). If I don't update the combobox to contain the item from the header table, the combobox shows blank when viewing the record, I don't want it to show blank, I want to show the actual value.

"Seems like this shouldn't happen"
Well, yes, happens quite frequently, not with statuses, but users, for example, leave the company, we still want to be able to see what they did without invalidating or changing the record, but don't want their user being listed for selection.

What confuses you?

Rather than use LoadLibrary, could you not use the DllImport attribute to import your DLL's functions?

If I add the DoEvents before the Me.Activate(), it keeps the application active. Otherwise it dives off regardless of the Me in ShowDialog is there or not. It's not ideal, but it works.

Friend Function AttachDialogWindow(ByVal newWindow As Form, ByVal disposeAtInvisible As Boolean) As Form
newWindow.ShowDialog()

If disposeAtInvisible Then
newWindow.Close()
newWindow.Dispose()
End If

Application.DoEvents()

Me.Activate()

Return newWindow
End Function

The MessageBox.Show() seems to work in the RollOut. However, as I said, for some reason when using rolling our own dialogs in the main application, it will still occasionally fall to the back of the screen. Maybe it's just a bug we've got to live with.

I've not tried that, because it won't help with the dialog windows

That doesn't actually answer my question. Especially when I said that it happens when I also use forms using ShowDialog

Could you please clarify the question, what must show in the particular strings?

Facepalm! Thank you! Can't believe I missed that

The code you've provided isn't very helpful. You'd need to post the code to bl.InsertUser() instead.
Your code listed does not even check for existing users before calling bl.InsertUser

The only reason it was a universal .Thumb style because I was constantly fiddling with the values, and didn't want to have to make them twice.

This site was for a gallery, so there's not much reading, but I take your point.

display:inline-block; works great in Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. Pity about IE though. Maybe when processing the request on the server, my PHP code can feed back an IE version or a standard version

Thanks

Technically, you could in the same fashion, you can alter the value of the image boxes to point to a black and white version of the image (say you had a duplicate set of images suffixed _bw, you could just add that to the filename)

If images are dynamic, you could always use GDI+ code to convert images at runtime to black and white, then save them and point the report definition to them

Sounds like he's got the default SQL Service Management Studio default colour scheme to me (that's what I get)

Are you sure you've not just changed the "Colours" option in Tools->Options?

There's a good case against reliance on syntax highlighting here
http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/syntaxhighlighting/index.php

Regardless of colour, does it say why his fails?

The only way to avoid the "Save to disk" command is by creating a plugin per browser. Even then the user may request a prompt from the browser anyway (security against malware)

Another way is writing an ActiveX control and embed that on the webpage. You can pass parameters via the page HTML.

Your output confuses me - D1//D4//D5//D6//D7, D7 is not a child of D6. Did you type your example out wrong?

Hmm, try changing it to this:

ds.Tables[0].Select("","[column3] / [column4]") )

and maybe need brackets

ds.Tables[0].Select("","([column3] / [column4])") )

I'll be honest, I've not actually tried these :-)
