Thanks for the response. I need to stay in C#. The real problem here is that the assignment operation in COBOL (the "MOVE" statement) Is the most commonly used statement in COBOL. Structures and sub-structures are also very prevalent in COBOL programs. So this means potentially having to write...

I am trying to convert COBOL code to C#. One of the greatest challenges in general is revolves around the fact that COBOL is a loosely typed language as compared to C#. In COBOL you can define an I/O buffer to read and write to an external file as effectively a byte array (e.g. records being...

Thanks, when we originally tried "Save for Web" Image Ready came up and it appeared it was saving it as a .gif. We didn't realize you could change options *after* clicking on Save the second time....

Illustrator CS comes with some templates that look like web pages complete with tabs and links. How do you create HTML from such? We can find no Save as or Export option that will do anything other than save it as a picture. I see no use in such.

Well, I don't consider it to be academic to pre-req a simple application with a database system like MS-ACCESS or MSDE - it adds to complexity for users as well as software requirements and adds a level of configuration management to over complicate things as well. I think somebody missed the...

I'm looking for a technique to allow a data file to be accessed by one or more keys without having to use a database. This is known in other languages as ISAM or VSAM (IBM Mainframe) access. The application needs to store persistent data on disk that be retrieved by one or more fields (keys)...

I would like to write a C# program that can interact with Visual SourceSafe programatically to create a source code library and checkin/checkout members. Is there a managed code API for this? If not, what is the best mechanism to achieve this?

John, thanks much. Application.DoEvents works quite nicely. No threading required.

I have an application where the main form (Form1) creates an instance of Form2 and shows it using the Form2.Show method. Form1 then loops through some logic and populates Form2. The problemI have is that I have a button (button1) on Form2 that I wish the user to be able to click on to stop the...

I am trying to modify one of the standard sample applications I found for programming Visio from VB.NET. The application code is below. I am quite confused about a couple of things. I found something on your web site that does not work in my application, which I suspect is because your sample...

I began receiving blue screen stop messages when boot Windows 2000 on my HP Netserver LC3. I received either a "REGISTRY_ERROR" or "CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED" - A Microsoft knowledge base article indicate it was a bad memory chip, but swapping memory chips made no...
