Possibly, but this would probably require writing an Explorer Shell Extension to do it. This is not going to be easy, and help with something like this is going to be sparse to be sure.
Or, I've misunderstood what you're talking about. What do you mean by a "Windows Media Player taskbar item"???

you need to look into something called a deskband, but almost all of the source code and help is in C#.

Hi,
I've got some code that allows me to click a button to browse to a zip file, and populate a DataGridView with all of the file names contained within the zip.
What I now want to do is go a stage further, and allow the user to drag a zip file into the DataGridView, and perform the same routine.
For reference, the functionality to perform the unzip is provided via DotNetZipLib.zip
The code that I've been trying to get to work is:
Imports ionic.utils.zip<br />
<br />
Private Sub DataGridView1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.DragDrop<br />
<br />
Dim strFilePathAndName As String<br />
<br />
strFilePathAndName = DirectCast(e.Data.GetData(Windows.Forms.DataFormats.FileDrop), String)<br />
<br />
Dim zip As ZipFile<br />
zip = ZipFile.Read(strFilePathAndName)<br />
<br />
Dim tblZipFilesTable As DataTable = New DataTable("CompressedFiles")<br />
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet("ZipFile")<br />
<br />
ds.Tables.Add(tblZipFilesTable)<br />
<br />
tblZipFilesTable.Columns.Add("File name", GetType(String))<br />
tblZipFilesTable.Columns.Add("Columns in table", GetType(Integer))<br />
<br />
Dim tblRow As DataRow<br />
<br />
For Each file As ZipEntry In zip<br />
<br />
tblRow = tblZipFilesTable.NewRow<br />
<br />
tblRow.Item("File name") = file.FileName.ToString<br />
<br />
tblZipFilesTable.Rows.Add(tblRow)<br />
<br />
Next<br />
<br />
Me.DataGridView1.DataSource = ds<br />
Me.DataGridView1.DataMember = "CompressedFiles"<br />
<br />
With Me.DataGridView1<br />
<br />
.Columns(0).Width = 210<br />
.Columns(1).Width = 120<br />
<br />
End With<br />
<br />
Me.DataGridView1.Refresh()<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub DataGridView1_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.DragEnter<br />
<br />
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(Windows.Forms.DataFormats.FileDrop) Then<br />
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy<br />
Else<br />
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None<br />
End If<br />
<br />
End Sub
But it doesn't do anything. When I set a breakpoint within the first few lines of "Sub DataGridView1_DragDrop", I find that it doesn't even go in here.

Resolved it ...
Private Sub DataGridView1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.DragDrop<br />
<br />
Dim strFilePathAndName As String() = DirectCast(e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop), String())<br />
<br />
Dim zip As ZipFile<br />
zip = ZipFile.Read(strFilePathAndName(0))

When a user inputs data into the textbox
The textbox control provides a list of previous entered values
is there a way to disable this in vb.net web form .net 1.1
|
|
|
|
|
It's not the Textbox that's doing this. It's the users browser that's doing it, and no, you have no control over this from your ASP.NET code.
|
|
|
|
|
You will have to set the autocomplete property for your textbox. The intellisense of Visual studio 2003 doesn't provide you with the option.
<br />
<br />
<asp:TextBox id="txtControl" runat="server" autocomplete="off"></asp:TextBox>
You can do it at the form level by setting <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" autocomplete="off">

Hmmm...Shows you how much of an ASP.NET expert I am!

You can blame Microsoft  , I have found many properties not showing up in the Intellisense or the properties window of the control  . I guess we just need to learn from trial and error method and of course the experience.
For ex the intellisense of the DropDownList in visual studio 2005 doesn't show the SelectedValue property and I was trying to figure out a way to bind the DropDownList to the Gridview, just trying my luck, I typed in SelectedValue inside the tag and binded it to the gridview and it worked. I guess Microsoft needs to come out with a list of "Hey I have coded this but forgot to put it in the Intellisense list"

I want to select a row and get all data in every cell in all columns. I was able to get all cells by using VisibleColumnCount. But that only gives me 4 out of 8 of the cells. I have a conection to a database and putting it into a dataset and binding it to the datagrid. Is there a way to either get the total number of columns OR to get the whole row instead of cell by cell?
|
|
|
|
|
For idx As Int16 = 0 To Me.DataGridView1.Columns.Count - 1
MsgBox(Me.DataGridView1.SelectedRows(0).Cells(idx).Value)
Next
|
|
|
|
|
Is this available in 2003
|
|
|
|
|
No...
Do this to get the column count....
Dim iColCount As Int16 = 0
If TypeOf (Me.DataGrid1.DataSource) Is DataSet Then
iColCount = CType(Me.DataGrid1.DataSource, DataSet).Tables(0).Columns.Count
ElseIf TypeOf (Me.DataGrid1.DataSource) Is DataTable Then
iColCount = CType(Me.DataGrid1.DataSource, DataTable).Columns.Count
End If
|
|
|
|
|
How about getting count of columns on dataview as datasource?
|
|
|
|
|
there is a table property...
dim iColCount as int16
iColCount = oView.Table.columns.count
|
|
|
|
|
Can I do this with a Bind?

Hey
I have two big problems with my project.
I will post the whole code down under my question
What you will need to reproduce this code is a UserControl, on this usercontrol has to be a PictureBox and a Label
The problems are:
1) The mouseLeave Event is fired, even if I don't leave the usercontrol
2) After finishing the Animation, the picture box pops up to full size.
Maybe somone can help me? Here ist the code (VB2005)

I believe the UserControl is firing it's mouseleave event when the mouse goes over the label or picturebox. This is normal. When the event fires you might be able to just check the mouselocation and if it's within the bounds of your control, exit the method. You could also try to get around the problem by doing all the drawing yourself instead of using a picturebox and label.
**EDIT**
The reason it pops up is because of the second loop in this method 'pctBoxVerkleinern'.
Also I believe your going to have some threading issues because you can't start a thread once it's been aborted. In the mouseenter and leave events you need to create a new instance of the thread and then start it.

Hi
I have been playing around with a password hashing scheme for my application
But i keep getting an error message when it executes the command object
i get the error
Unable to cast object of type 'System.byte[]' to type 'system.inconvertible'
Any suggestions?
Sub CreateAccount(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim literror As New LiteralControl
'1. Create a connection
'Create connection string to pass database, string holds login information to mySQL,
Dim connectionString As String
connectionString = "Server=localhost; ;database=ftp1;"
'Builds .net mysql connection and passes connection string into method
Dim connection As New MySqlConnection(connectionString)
Try
'2. Create a command object for the query
Dim strSQL As String = _
"INSERT INTO Useraccount(Username,Password) " & _
"VALUES(?Username, ?Password)"
Dim objCmd As New MySqlCommand(strSQL, connection)
'3. Create parameters
Dim paramUsername As MySqlParameter
paramUsername = New MySqlParameter("?Username", SqlDbType.VarChar, 25)
paramUsername.Value = txtUsername.Text
objCmd.Parameters.Add(paramUsername)
'Encrypt the password
Dim md5Hasher As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
Dim hashedBytes As Byte()
Dim encoder As New UTF8Encoding()
hashedBytes = md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(txtPwd.Text))
Dim paramPwd As MySqlParameter
paramPwd = New MySqlParameter("?Password", SqlDbType.Binary, 16)
paramPwd.Value = hashedBytes
objCmd.Parameters.Add(paramPwd)
'Insert the records into the database
connection.Open()
objCmd.ExecuteReader()
connection.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
literror.Text = ex.Message
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
Response.Redirect("userhome.aspx")
End Sub
|
|
|
|

The code seems seasonable to me, other than you might want to pick a stronger encryption (MD5 is known to be very weak!), and possibly check that the number of bytes comming from the hash will actually fit in the database field and the field is of the correct type to hold the data.
I don't use MySQL, so I don't know what it's going to support and what it's not, or what it's requirements for field types are going to be.

Hey NG
I am looking for a Video Player, which can play different types of Video Format.
For example: mpg, vob, divx, Flash, PowerPoint and so on.
Does anybody know, where I can get something like that, or how to make such a player?
I am using VB2005
Yours faithfully - THX
