    On my Form I’ve got some DataGrid controls plus one TextBox control. Here’s what I want to do: If the TextBox control’s Text property is empty, no other control shall gain focus until the user has entered some value into the TextBox field. I thought Validation was the right way to do this, so I’ve implemented these two functions: private void txtZoom_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e){  Validate();} private void txtZoom_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e){  e.Cancel = txtZoom.Text.Length

    Hey,   I have recently been working on a tutorial application using C#, and between each “slide”, I need to fade out the current slide’s controls and fade in the next slide’s controls. To do this, I created a new control, and added a FadeIn and a FadeOut command. I successfully added the fadeout command, and I escentially mirrored it to make a fadein command by copying the code and switching out the variables. Now, here is the problem that I am having. At program execution, this code is c

    I’m trying to use the new BackgroundWorker component (Whidbey) in a sample VB.NET WinForms project. I’ve followed the examples on MSDN and can successfully recreate and run those examples. All of those examples though have the background process kicked off from a button on the form; i.e. the RunWorkerAsync method of the BackgroundWorker object is called from the click event of a button. If I do this same thing but instead try to kick off the background process from the form’s LOAD event handler,

    I have developed a COM dll using VS 2008.  The dll includes a VB6 OCX (w/.Net wrapper).  Its intended use is under VBA in Excel (2003 SP3) running under XP Professional (version 5.1.2600 SP3).  The dll runs on two user machines but fails to run on two other machines. The debugger stops at Set var=New MyDll.clsxxx; the error message is “file <myDLL> or assembly or one of its dependencies not found”.  Excel/Tools/References shows no missing references.

    Well I’m developing a data driven application in which I’ve created a dataset using to datatables called “PartyMaster” and “LedgerMaster”. Basically both the tables have same structure but different uses. So in the SqlDataAdapter i’ve wrote same commands (Insert,Update etc.) for both the tables but whenever I insert or update the PartyMaster table it works fine but the LedgerMaster table is creating trouble when i try to update a row (creating new rows is working fine though).
