    error downloading a file which was uploaded to a mssql database

    I figured out what I was doing wrong. It was a coding issue. I was not calling the file content type in my download code. So if anyone is searching for a solution to their files being damaged when they try to open a file from a database, make sure you are referencing the content type...

    error downloading a file which was uploaded to a mssql database

    I'll post code if requested, but I'm not convinced it is a coding issue. I upload a pdf or excel file to a mssql (2012) database. When I download the file I get "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." This doesn't happen with text files, images...

    How to change colour of jpgs

    I took a look at your logo. Unfortunately there isn’t going to be a quick way to accomplish what you want. The issue is the anti-aliased edges. You can use the color replacer and the paint brush to accomplish your goals. You will need to replace several shades of gray using the replacer, one...

    How to change colour of jpgs

    Can you post an example of the logo? Depending on the logo's content, whether the content is all text (like on your home page) or simple geometric shapes, selecting the various elements (text or shapes) with the magic wand using the anti-aliase option, might do the trick. Select an element, cut...

    How to change colour of jpgs

    While your questiion might seem simple, the answer can be quite complex. There are a lot of possible ways to do what you want, though I am not certain I understand what you want to do. You can use the magic wand to make selections and then apply some of the color filters. You can select the...

    Delete an image not working properly

    I solved the issue. In another portion of my web app, I was creating a variable as a new image bitmap, and when I was done with the image (getting height and width) I should have disposed the variable. In this case, the variable was using the same drop down. So because I did not dispose of the...

    Delete an image not working properly

    Ok, when I select an image from the dropdown list and attempt to delete it I get the following error message when the delete is in a try catch block: "The process cannot access the file 'D:\sites\gallery\test1thumb.png' because it is being used by another process." If I hard code the image...

    Delete an image not working properly

    Yes, the path is ok. There are no errant spaces or extraneous characters. I am going to work on this some more, and I'll post back an update.

    Delete an image not working properly

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. Yes, the path is valid. The way I verified the path was to set the value of ImageName to a hard coded value: Dim ImageName = "test1thumb.png" When I set and use the above value for ImageName, the path works and the image is deleted. I've even tried...

    Delete an image not working properly

    I have a click event which is supposed to delete an image. I have a dropdown which displays all the images in a folder. When I try and use the dropdown selected value, the image is not deleted. However, if I pass the name of an image, the image is deleted. In the code below, when I hard code the...

    Need Tutorial to edit photo to look like attached.

    Is this a PSP question or a GIMP question? You can achieve the desired effects in PSP. The second of your images looks like a filter effect, but the first one can be done with basic layers, the eraser, blur, line tool and shapes tool. I'm pretty sure the second one can also be done in PSP, but...

    MS Word and COM

    I'm still trying to build a solution. I have found an Active X which will work, Ultra Office, however, the more I think about it the more I like the idea of a rich text editor and saving the file as a word doc when necessary. Can the editor jpadie posted a link to...

    MS Word and COM

    The process you have described is similar but there are some exceptions. The doctors dictates into a telephone with various prompts to select type of form to use, and the ability to rewind, fast forward etc... The doctor then can select to start an additional dictation passing through the same...

    MS Word and COM

    The process is a Word dcoument is uploaded to the scribe system. A transcriber accesses the word document through a user backend. If the user has not associated IE with the .doc file type, then the word document opens in Word and not within the browser, other wise with the correct file...

    MS Word and COM

    By creating a manual instance of word you mean opening a word document on the server? if so I have done that, and whether Word is open or not the result is the same.
