Since I want to work with LINQ May 2006 CTP I installed the English version of VS Express (else LINQ install is not possible ...).

• .NET Development The status of a running process

  Does anyone know of a way to determine if a process running on the local machine is hung, or not responding I'd prefer to do this in C#, anyone "Hung" is a relative term, the process could just be busy in a loop. If you are looking for something similar to what Windows XP does when it displays "Not Responding" in the title bar, try using the WaitForInputIdle() API function. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Currency Manager NoNullAllowedException

  I am using a currency manager to pass data from one form to another. The parent form contains a dataview which is populated by running a query to select specific items from the dataset. The child form is a data entry form. So far, everything seems to work fine except for one issue. Whenever I launch the child form, the textboxes are filled with data from the currently selected item in the dataview (in edit mode) or are all blank (in add mode). The problem occurs when there are no items in the dataview. For example...if the dataview contains at least one row, launching the child causes no problems. However, if the dataview has zero rows, the child form launches and throws a "NoNullAllowedException" in the following line: thi ...Show All

• Visual C# The considered solution.

  That will only work if the array is a squared array (same height and width). I figured it out lastnight, atleast it has worked on everything I have tested so far. currentShape is the original array and rotatedShape is the new array. The new array's width and height must be opposite that of the original's (if the original array is [3,4] then the new array will be [4,3]). Then its a matter of incrementalling walking through the x and y coordinates of the new array while only incrementing the x coordinate of the old array and then decrementing the old array's y coordinate. // Use our 2D array to rotate the game piece. bool[,] rotatedShape = new bool[currentShape.GetLength(1), currentShape.GetLength(0)]; for (int y = 0; y < rotatedShape.Ge ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Question about FileRender

  Hi, 1. How can I play a YUV file with format YUV 4:2:0 2. Can I render from file that I am writing to at the same time (with delay of-course) Thanks, Yaniv Using graphedit can help determine if the problem is your code or something directshow related. There is an article here ( http://www.gdcl.co.uk/articles/ ) which describes in detail how DS determines which filters (if any) can be used to play a specific file (the Introduction to parsers article at the bottom).

• SQL Server How to organize calculated members in Analysis Services 2005

  I am creating many calculated members for a cube with several measure groups.  The problem I am having is that when browsing the cube, all of the calculated members appear at the bottom of the measures area.  I would like to organize them into the folders under the measure groups where they belong, but do not see a way to do this. Does anyone know if this is possible Thanks!

• Smart Device Development Using FolderBroswerDialog class example in unmanaged C++ code

  Hello I would like a FolderBrowserDialog in my application which is written in unmanaged C++ using wince 5.01 Smartphone SDK. I read that it's not possible to use managed code in unmanaged C++ wince projects so I wonder how I should solve my problem. My plan was to use the example from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5db6b0zy.aspx but since I'm not able to use the C++ example ( I get the /clr error because it's managed ) I don't know which way to go. Is there anyway for me to perhaps create a C# or VB project containing the example code and have that compiled into a lib that I include into my unmanaged C++ project or perhaps linking it directly somehow What other options are there for me to obtain a FolderBrowserDialog in my app ...Show All

• Visual C++ DLLs unloaded

  Hi, guys: I have a COM component. It uses several third party DLLs. Recently, I noticed that after the DLL holds the COM component is unloaded from the memory, the third party DLLs can stay in the memory, and when recreating the instance of the COM component, the third party DLLs will not be reloaded. Sometimes, this will cause GPF. My question is why the third party DLLs can stay in the memory, and how can I unload them Thanks, Zhen It looks like the third party DLLs are not COM components. They are implicitly linked to my COM component. I am pretty sure the COM component is the only one references them. My codes do not call LoadLibrar() as they are linked implicitly. Yes, the setting S ...Show All
