• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Visual C# Download Error?

  I have a Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and everything else I need for this to work. I don't have DirectX though so that might be the problem, but I can't download it. I go to the install screen and everything is fine, it finishes downloading and installing, but at the very end a pop-up comes up and states: Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition - ENU has encountered a problem during setup.

• SQL Server Change chart type dynamically from Column to Line graph??

  I am developing several charts with column type and sub type as stacked. There is a requirement from the users that they want an option to choose the type of chart. Is it possible to change chart type dynamically from say Column type to Line type based on user option in front-end Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance !! The closest you can get directly in RS at this point is to define multiple charts with different types and conditionally only show one of the charts based on a parameter selection. -- Robert ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Interacting with different users based on roles

  Hello, I've designed a document validation workflow but still with no roles on it, so anyone can introduce a document and anyone can validate it. I've been searching info about roles and what I've seen is that you can say which roles can or cannot do an activity. But my application is a bit different: There are 4 different roles (ranks of the employees). Role 5 (the less "important") can post a document, that same user can modify it as many times as he wants and then send it to validate, and it has to be shown in the list of pending documents of role 4. But role 4 can as well post a document that has to be validated by role 3, and role 3 need validation from role 2 etc. I suppose there has to be a way of designing a sing ...Show All

• Visual Studio file extension and view code not working - SynchronousXmlDesigner sample

  I'm playing around with the SynchronousXmlDesigner Extensibility project and am failing to add or replace a the file extension other used in the sample, ".addin". I have replaced all references to ".addin" in the VSPackage.cs file with temp ones, ".test", the Designer works fine but I cannot get the "View Code" to work. The file contents are xml the same as the .addin, that shouldn't make a difference. What else is required in order to change from .addin files to .test files You are missing a registry entry used by the XMlDesigner. In order for the XML Designer to recognize your extension you must add the following registry entry Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\S ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem loading dll created by VisC 2005

  Hi, I converted a C++ project from VS .NET 7.1 to VS .NET 8. The project uses old fopen methods and similar. Under 7.1 the project compiles and runs, but under 8, I am unable to run. First, when running the application, it complains about missing msvcr80.dll. Then, when I locate it (somewhere) on the computer, I get the error that the application tried to load the dll in an illegal manner. When searching for info on this, I stumble into manifests, and I see that the manifest should contain some lines about the msvcr80.dll, version etc. But my manifest file is empty. It only contains this information: < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" > <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manif ...Show All

• Windows Forms Trying to deploy the program

  I am trying to publish my program using Visual Studio .NET 2005 by going through Build -> Publish "Project".. When I run my project either by building the project and go to bin/Release folder and run the exe file, or just by pressing "F5", it works fine. But if I publish the project and install it on a system, it won't find the access to database file. So I tried to uninstall the program by going to Add/Remove in control panel. But when I try to remove it from the system, it gives me an error messages saying "Uninstall of application did not succeed.

• .NET Development Email Reports

  How do I go about emailing Access reports, via Outlook Whilst it is possible to create an email in outlook programmatically, you will not be able to attach files - security reasons blocked by Windows. You can however programmatically send emails (including attachments) via SMTP Server, giving it credentials if required. Example: Import the System.Net.Mail namespace, then..... Dim theEmailMessage as new MailMessage() theEmailMessage.Attachments.Add(new Attachment( pathAndFileToAttachment )) theEmailMessage.Body = " body text here " theEmailMessage.From = new MailAddress(" from@me.com ") theEmailMessage.To.Add(" to@someone.com " ) theEmailMessage. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DragDrop from custom Toolbox class into Workflow designer

  I am trying to integrate Lab 10's workflow designer hosting into "the perfect host" demo shell application. The general idea of the application will be a forms designer that allows event logic in workflow instead of code for business users. Both code bases implement a toolbox differently. In my application when I try to drag - drop an activity from the toolbox implementation from "the perfect host" article, the drag - drop icon remains in the "not supported" mode (ghostbuster like icon) I have been comparing the differences between the toolbox implementations and decided to integrate the GetToolboxItem routine from lab 10 into the other application so that the DataObject passed to DoDragDrop is an Activ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Old "statndard C++" in VC++ Express

  This may sound silly - but I have successfully built CLR .NET Apps and with the Platform SDK some win32 native apps using VC++ express 2005 with ease! . But how can I use some old C++ code of form: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(){ cout << "whatever xxx......" << endl; return 0; } making an empty project and adding file(s) containing straight C++ code like the above, results in 48++ link errors.
