Hi all (Using vb 2008 express.) I am trying to create a server to send clients text on request.

I need to allow the user to rotate a control (the control inherits from a TextBox) in 90 degree increments so the text can be read from either side, or even upside down. I'm guessing I could override the control's paint event and just paint it in the orientation that I want, but I'm just wondering if there's a quicker/built-in way? Thi...

I also have a status event handler on the ope...
Having successfully tried out nHibernate, I would now like to try using Fluent for mapping. My main project is in vb.net but I would really like to use c# for the mappings since the lambda expression capability makes it much cleaner. Can you have a separate project/assembly for your mapping files without creating a circular dependency ...

For example, if my computer is set to English(US), I would like to see Nov 26 2009, and if my computer is set to English (NZ), I...
I have been tasked to convert out VB6 program to VB.NET. In my research online everyone seems to say I need to go through my code and get rid of any Variants I have.

I need to Base64 encode a string, but the encoded string cannot contain "+". Wikipedia mentions a modified Base64 for URL, but I can't find a .NET class which uses this. For my application, I can't even URL encode "+" into "%2B". This is because I pass the encoded string to a service which I have no control over, and that service mang...

In Visual Studio, are there any real differences between a "Release" build of an application, and a published version of the same application? I have an ugly memory leak that's creeping up only in the published version installed via ClickOnce. The same leak does not occur in the "Release" build if I run the executable from the project/b...
I'm looking for a way to pass some sort of credentials or Authorization token from a VB.Net Client to an ASP.Net web application that allows the Client to auto-login to our Forms-Authenticated website. If a user is logged into a local application, I want them to be able to view some web pages without having to login to the website as we...

I have a problem when updating the source of an ASP ListBox in an AJAX update panel. When I set the source of the ListBox to a large dataset, I would assume it would take a small amount of time to render due to the number of items. However, when the DataSource is switched at run-time to a smaller set of items, it takes just as long to ...
I'm working with Crystal Reports in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005. I have a List(Of Stuff) that I've sorted according to one of the object's members.
