• Windows Forms Render a Questionaire as Win Form from XML file? (C#)

  Hi, Apologies if this if the wrong place to ask this... I am investigating the possibility of creating a windows forms-based questionnaire which is rendered entirely from an XML file. The scenario is that a sales operative could download an meeting agenda as an XML file. This could then be opened during a customer visit and used to render every section and element on the form, allowing them to input their answers to each question and any notes before saving the data back into the XML agenda file. Each completed XML agenda file would then be uploaded to the account management system when the sales operative returns to their office and saved to the accounts system. We have investigated web services and other ways of doing this, but this is t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting the Application Name in the UAC dialog?

  Hello, I have successfully made my application UAC-aware by using a application manifest and compile is to a .res-file using the rs tool. And it works fine, however there is somthing that disturb my eye: When I run my application, and the UAC dialog apear, a random/temp name figures instead of the application name (eg. XavD452.tmp). My Application name is "Xavier", so it looks like it got the first letters right :) But if you start up, lets say "mmc", the application name is correctly displayed in the UAC-dialog (in this case "Microsoft Management Console"). How can I correct this, so the application name apear in the UAC-dialog, like it does with e.g. mmc Im running on Vista RTM (Business), Vi ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting Initial DLL reference

  After using Assembly.LoadFile() to load a DLL, is there any way at all to get an initial reference into it, of any kind (e.g. the ability to call a static method, the ability to make and get an object reference, etc) without using reflection I only know how to "get going" on a DLL I've loaded, if the first thing I do is a bit of reflection. On the other hand, perhaps all I'm really looking for, is the C# equivalent of the old "GetProc" used with C++ (which is a reflective kinda thingy, but I'll settle for this if nothing else). No you need to use reflection one way or another. At least you have to get a Type from the assembly that you can instantiate using Activator.CreateIntance. You can then cast it to a well known interface ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# modulus operator % sucks?

  So in C# when I do -1%something I get -1, which means I can't really use it as an array index without a bunch of stupid error checking.  Is there some way to force the modulo operator to actually give me numbers from my field (e.g 0-5 for modulo 6) Edit: Well, I made this post at 2:00 am and it shows, here is what I have issue with: i = (i+1) % 6 will result in numbers from 0 to 5, which I could use for an array index i = (i-1) % 6 will result in numbers from 0 to -5, which can't be used in an array index Obviously, the absolute value of those results would not conform to any logical value, either (for instance, array[-1] and array[1] would be the same value, even though they should be 2 values apart if I decremented twice ...Show All

• .NET Development MSSQL table names

  hey, i'm getting a table from my MSSQL server, but for some reason it has to have the user name preceding it. SqlCommand getOrgs = new SqlCommand("SELECT DISTINCT Organization FROM phenostream_usr.Affiliations"); why is this why can't i just say "From Affiliations" I believe this occurs because the user ID you are logged in with is not the owner of the object, and there are other objects with different owners but the same name.

• Smart Device Development About SDIO Card Driver

  Hai, I am studying about the SDIO Card driver. From my understanding the client driver is loaded after inseting the SD Card by the Bus driver. When the Host controller Driver is loaded Actually i want to diagnosis the SD Card port before inserting the SD Card .Is there any means to find this.I am using the PXA270 processor You'd better get yourself a copy of Platform Builder if you are really set on doing this. Talking to the hardware is no small task and it is platform dependant so you will have to rewrite it for several platforms, essentially writing your own PDD layer. If you are just trying to see if an SDIO port is available there a ways of checking the registry. You can also (as Micheal suggested) just in ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug? - .Net sensitive to the ordering of parameters in the HTTP Content-Type header

  Hi everyone I'm doing some web service interop testing with Apache Axis, and we've discovered that the ordering of the properties in the Content-Type http-header seems to be an issue to .Net. .Net doesn't add the (optional) action parameter to content-type, but so does Axis, which causes some trouble. A http Content-type:    application/soap+xml;charset=utf-8;action="myAction" is ok to .Net, but not a:    application/soap+xml;action="myAction";charset=utf-8 Since I can see nothing in the specifications about the parameters needing to come in a certain order, I would think that this is a bug in .Net. Could that be right Some nice 'ol links to the definition of Content-Type and action: [1] http://www.w3.org/ ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting Return type from Stored Procedure

  Hi all, I am trying to figure out a way to analyze a stored procedure to deduce its output type. A stored procedure can return values throught one of the following: 1) Using the Return keyword 2) Returning a recordset 3) Throught its Output parameters 4) A combination of 1, 2 or 3 Using the Information_Schema, you can access the SQL code of the stored procedure from, say, VB.Net. From there, I want to know what output type the stored procedure has. A) for 1), I guess I can parse the code for the 'Return' keyword, but that wouldn't be efficient, for the 'Return' word could be inserted into string values... B) for 2), it would be difficult to analyze the stored procedure's code to know FOR SURE whether a recordset ...Show All
