• Visual Studio Express Editions image to a picture box without using the properties window.

  Hi, I would like to place a p icture box on a form and using a text box select from any number of images to show in the p icture box. How can I assign an image to a p icture box without using the properties window. Ken I'm using the image code to configure a PLC where each slot ( nine slots total) of the PLC has an image and a combo box so I can select the appropriate module for that slot. With all those images in the resource it takes around 12 seconds for the form to load. Is there anyway to reduce the load time When I remove an image from the resource folder I get an error when trying to run the program. How do I remove images from the resource folder, can I remove the folder and ...Show All

• Visual C# How to Wrap my normal API dll without any COM interface to C# COM+ object?

  Hi all, I'm currently touching on the dll for C# asp.net, My customized DLL is a normal API without any COM interface. And i can't use regsrv32 to register my DLL. So how do i design a C# COM+ object to wrap my DLL Issit using either implicit or explicit method Thanks Best regards, =) hungryghost Hi, hungryghost If you want to call one of the many Win32 API functions that are not available directly from the .NET framework, you should be able to call them using PInvoke (Platform Invoke). (PInvoke is not supported with classes. To call an interface method in a COM dll use COM Interop .) There are excellent tutorials on the Microsoft Developers Network on using PInvoke, so I will n ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development New HD DVD players

  Toshiba recently announced new HD DVD players, the cheapest one is $499. But unfortunately True HD tv's are still very expensive. BTW anyone knows if they support persistent storage, or do all hd dvd players have this as default and how much http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php id=5455&cid=5 To my mind, all HD DVD, now, have not a real special feature of HDi. I saw 2-3 years ago at Ceatec or CES of real "Advanced Content": - 3D games - Web link to webshop. - Menu refresh by the web (filmography of actor) I have 50 HD DVD and I don't see this on HD DVD.

• Smart Device Development CabWiz Info

  This is just a quick post to hopefully save someone some of the pain and agony that I have suffered over the last 2 days trying to get a CAB built for a new PocketPC app. If CabWiz reports an error similar to: Error: CAB file "D:\CabFile.CAB" could not be created one of the first things that you should check is that you do NOT have 8.3 file naming turned off. If registry entry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is set to 1, then CabWiz will either not work or will only work intermittently (depending on whether you are working in a directory that has short names or not). If it is set to 1, change it to 0 and then reboot. You will also need to recreate all existing directories that do not ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is TOP executed last?

  Hi. I have a complex SELECT query with a few joins and some millions of rows to deal with. However, I only need one (and any) result, so I added a TOP 1 clause. When I look at the query plan with Query Analyser, I see the TOP action last. The impression I get is that the query is analysing the whole of the results before poping me the first. Is this right What I'd expect it to do is to stop as soon as it has a single result. Is it possible to enforce this type of behavior Thanks in advance Carlos Unless you have an ORDER BY, TOP(nn) does not guarantee what you will get back. TOP(nn) also has to access the entire table. If you don't really care what you get back, you can try using ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSBuild FlavorToBuild being ignored

  I setup two build types for a team project, one is a testing debug build and the other is a production release build. It seems that no matter what I put in the FlavorToBuild the solution keeps getting build with the Debug configuration. One of the projects in the solution is a web deployment project that swaps sections of the web.config depending on the build configuration so the final output keeps setting this incorrectly. I currently have this in the TFSBuild.proj: < ItemGroup > < ConfigurationToBuild Include = " Release|Mixed Platforms " > < FlavorToBuild > Release </ FlavorToBuild > < PlatformToBuild > Mixed Platforms </ PlatformToBuild > </ ConfigurationToBuild > ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mix CustomVertex.PositionColored with CustomVertex.PositionTextured in same scene.

  Is it possible to use vertexbuffers with both CustomVertex.PositionTextured and CustomVertex.PositionColored in the same scene   I  have two objects, one that contains a vertexbuffer that is PositionTextured and one that is PositionColored, both work fine if i use them indivudally but if i render both in same scene i can only see the Textured one. I've tried to change the renderDevice.VertexFormat to the correct type before i render each object but it's still the same problem. Changing the renderorder of the objects doesn't help eighter :( My renderloop looks like this: private void Render() { if (paused) return ; renderDevice.Clear( ClearFlags .Target | ClearFlags .ZBuffer, Color .W ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding to toolstripComboBox does not work

  Hi, I am trying to bind data from a dataset to a toolStripComboBox just like a ComboBox. Like the following: this .toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DataSource = this .bindingSource; this .toolStripComboBox1.ComboBox.DisplayMember = "Sirname" ; When I do this with a normal combobox it works fine. With this one it does not. Any ideas what is going on Am I forgetting something Regards, Ruud Wijnands Having the combobox under a menu item seems to be the issue. If I move the combobox directly to the menustrip it works fine. If I place it under any of the items on the menustrip it does not work. ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest loses HTTP header?

  I'm writing an application that queries data using HTTP. Before posting data I need to authenticate with the web site and retrieve a session token from a HTTP header. This session header token is then sent in future web requests. I have two accounts to use. To authenticate I create a web request using the code below: The target authentication URL expects a header called "Cookie" with a key / value pair. private HttpWebRequest CreateSessionRequest( NetworkCredential networkCredential) { CookieContainer cookieContainer = new CookieContainer (); HttpWebRequest webRequest = WebRequest .Create(logonUri) as HttpWebRequest; webRequest.Credentials = networkCredential; webRequest.PreAuthenticate = true ; webRequ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Listbox: as SearchBox...bug?

  Hello I have a database (with name, adress, etc. and an ID as key) and so I want to have a search-form. I thought to use a listbox and show there the first name and the last name. When I click on a name it should open an other form which shows the whole record. It's evident that the listbox is sorted. So I chosed the name as displaymember and the ID as valuemember. But what happens: the SelectedValue is not the ID of the record, neither the index, it's the ID of the record which would be there if I wouldn't sort the listbox. Is it a bug Thank you.
