• Visual Studio Events in DSL Elements

  Hi, I started by making a simple DSL solution and customizing property values (i.e define a combo box to display possible values for a property and another "customization" to open a form where I collect several data). Now I would like to define a type for a property, something like "Collection" where I can save the data I collect on a form. I didn’t understant the info on MSDN about "Domain Type Descriptor" and "Property Paths" . Any example How do I handle the mouse click and double click events on a DSL Element Thanks, DevDiver Hi, For your first question I had the same problem. I'm not sure with how to make new type for a property, but I did do so ...Show All

• Visual C++ SQLCHAR problems

  Hi, i'm a starting to develop some apps with odbc and visual c++ but i'm having some problems. I'm trying to make a simple Select query against my database, the conection is working fine and when i set the query hardcoded everything worked ok, but then I tried to add a little flexibility by making the where clause variable, founding the next code in msdn #define DESC_LEN 51 #define STATEMENT_LEN 51 SQLUINTEGER PartID; SQLCHAR Desc[DESC_LEN], Statement[STATEMENT_LEN]; SQLREAL Price; // Set part ID, description, and price. GetNewValues(&PartID, Desc, &Price); // Build INSERT statement. sprintf(Statement, "INSERT INTO Parts (PartID, Description, Price) " "VALUES (%d, '%s', %f)", PartID, Desc, Pric ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio VS ReportBuilder problem

  Hi ! We have made a lot of reports using Visual Studio. Now some of our client would like to customize those reports. We have install ReportBuilder on their server to allow them to create their own reports. Everything is working fine when they are trying to create new reports. The problem is when they are trying to customize reports that we have made using Visual Studio. When they are trying to open those reports in ReportBuilder they get this Error: One or more unexpected Report Definition Language (RDL) elements of the following type have been removed: DataSet Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportBuilder.ReportModel.Report: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The operation you are attempting on item "/Data Sources/DataSou ...Show All

• Visual C# Running Windows Commands interactively in a WinForm like a DOS Window

  Hi, I want to program my own DOS Window to be contained within a WinForm, possibly using a RichText component. I need to redirect Standard Input, Output and Error to this RichText component, and react to user input. I also need to preserve any session information across calls to the Standard Input; that is, if the first command logs into something, the second command should still be logged in to that something. How do I go about getting the standard input and passing the user commands to it, and capturing the standard output and error to show the result Many thanks Stephan Hi StephenZ, I think what you're looking for is Process.Start, not standard input and output. Standard input and o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office extension name DB causes error

  i have an ms access database file "filename.mdb". whenever i change the extension name to DB, and try to load it in the ms access, i receive error. it seems that access defends on extension name somehow in order to identify the database why is this done this way no matter the version of my database or office application is, the problems persists. please give me reasonable information on why is it designed this way. extension names should not be the basis of identifyng the file at this high tech era. using any other string as extension name is ok. but if i use DB as extension name (filename.db), thats where problem comes in. its a valid access dabase file! how come Hi Rad I'm afraid this isn't the correct venue to ask questions ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox Live Arcade "Standards" ???

  Does anyone have any information about the required "standards" for an Xbox Live Arcade game For example, most arcade games I've downloaded appear to have the following 6 standard menu options for their splash screens (in order)... 1. Single Player 2. Multiplayer 3. Leaderboards 4. Achievements 5. Help and Options 6. Return to Arcade (For trial versions, there is also a 7th option, Unlock Full Version, or something similar. Also, I'm assuming Multiplayer is optional; non-multiplayer games obviously don't need it.) What other requirements are there Where can I find more information about this Thanks! Robin, that's pretty cool :-) thanks for putting it together. I actually had an item in Conn ...Show All

• .NET Development GetRawXml returns nothing on each machine.config's section

  Hi all, I am learning how to use the System.Configuration namespace... and I face a problem. I read both a MyMachine.config and a MyApplication.config files by using the method " OpenMappedExeConfiguration" Dim filemap As New System.Configuration.ExeConfigurationFileMap filemap.ExeConfigFilename = "C:\...\MyApplication.config" filemap.MachineConfigFilename = "C:\...\MyMachine.config" Dim config As Configuration = _ ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(filemap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None) Next, I try to read the InnerXML of each section. I can get the sections from both files, but the method "getRawXml" returns "nothing" for each section of MyMachine. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Wanted: a good resource for drawing user primitives

  Can anyone reccomend a good resource for code for drawing various parameterized primitive shapes (ie spheres, cylinders, etc.) I'm looking for some functions to fill vertex buffers and calculate normals (maybe generate texture coords as well). Any info and leads would be much appreciated. Thanks. -Aaron well, I'm not sure how good of a resource it is, but it might give you the info you need. a quick google code search revealed this file which creates meshes (complete with texture coords) for WPF http://www.google.com/codesearch q=+lang:%22C%23%22+sphere+show:VoC0mkbNxrc:QXDFFd9l7RY:GTOIL8X-Yv4&sa=N&cd=5&ct=rc&cs_p=http://home.btconnect.com/stevewhi/graphicssamples/ArthurTest.zip&cs_f= ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions The link for the registration benefit portal does not work

  My registration mail suggests that I check the Registration Benefit Portal regularly to access new and updated benefits. But this address ('http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ LinkId=52054') gives a "Page not found" error. This kind of URL syntax is much more bug prone than a ...microsoft.com/products/registrationportal/ style. This 52054 name is a bit ridiculous.

• SQL Server Multiple reads of User Variable (Recordset Object) failing

  I hope this is a simple question. I have a package-scope user variable which is populated using a Recordset Destination in a Data Flow task. I am attempting to read the variable multiple times from different Script Tasks. The first read works fine, however the second read, in the second Script Task, says that there are no rows. Has anyone run across this before Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks I just tried to reload the user variable with a copy of the DFT before going into the second Script Task (ST) and it worked. Is there some reason why the data is removed from the variable after a ST completes The object is still there and can be accessed it just doesn't have any rows anymo ...Show All

• Visual C# Method Overloading

  I am new to .Net and am learning as I go. The .Net framework guidelines (and a few articles) encourage the usage of method overloading and ParamArrays. What is the motivation for this  I have found that overloading makes it difficult to provide new functionality in systems... for example, lets say some interface has a single method that takes an integer arument interface ISomeInterface { void Foo(int bar); } Some time later we need to add an additional parameter, a string... interface ISomeInterface { void Foo(int bar); void Foo(int bar,string ooh); } Using ParamArrays seems ambiguous to me. What is it about using structs/objects that is discouraged   ...Show All
