• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ADO.Net and databinding to a listbox

  If I databind an ado.net datatable to a listbox, the content of every listboxitem is a DataRowView, which is fine I guess. But what's the easiest solution to find the matching ListBoxItem if I have a normal typed datarow I wanted to use the ListBox's ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(), but this doesn't work as the listboxitems' content aren't the datarows but instead datarowviews. Right now since I haven't found any other solution, I have to iterate through the whole list of listboxitems and compare the datarowview.Row to my typed datarow, which really doesn't seem like a good solution. Suggestions I didn't include any data, you have to manually add some entries using the "Add& ...Show All

• SQL Server AMO - measure numeric Value

  I'm building a cube dynamically and i want to list just the columns in the fact table that are numeric in order to make Sum's, AVG's and so on. How can i do this using AMO , i'm wondering if i can do this from the FactTable's (Data Table) DataColumns, but there is no metadata that tells me if the values there are or not valid numeric measures. Regards Lisber. Hi. I don't know the answer to your AMO question. However, I do know that you can get the metadata about your fact table from the system views in SQL Server 2005. For example, if you want to know the columns in a fact table with data type Money or Float the following query works against the sales fact in AdventureWorks schema: SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE T ...Show All

• Visual Basic Start Refactoring!

  I installed the Refactoring! tool into Visual Studio 2005 (using VB.net). However, I can't figure out how to involk the function. I can't find a Menu item across the top of Visual Studio, I've checked in the "Tools" menu, and the "Help" isn't much help. It's very general, or at least I can't figure it out. I've tried selecting code, but still can't figure it out.... What am I missing Mike In a Visual Basic 2005 program add the line Dim foo As Rubbish where such a declaration would be valid. I'm assuming you don't have a type called Rubbish defined! You should get the word Rubbish underlined with a squiggle. But, the squiggle should end in a narrow red rectangle ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating objects 'by name' read from level data

  Hi, Firstly sorry for the confused subject line ;) Ok, I'll try and explain - suppose I have a class called Enemy1 and a text file that lists level data and in there I have the text "Enemy1" listed also. Can I somehow create a new instance of an Enemy1 object by only knowing 'Enemy1' as the string that I have read from the level text file This would mean I would avoid alot of code such as 'if blah = "Enemy1" then... Enemy1 myEnemy = New Enemy1' etc. Hope that makes sense, sure there is a 'correct' name for this. Cheers :) Check out serialization  and  reflection Actually, the SpaceWar startup kit reads it's data from an xml config file. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Memory window cannot be scrolled much

  When displaying memory, clicking on the scroll bar only allows you to move a limited amount in either direction. Beyond this, in the higher address direction, it shows blank, and will not move past the lower address limit. I can find no documentation on the proper operation of the memory windows, beyond the most rudimentary descriptions. For structures larger than a few Kb, it is necessary to be able to scroll from the base address, but the memory windows apparently don't let you do this. They worked as expected in VS6.

• Software Development for Windows Vista While loop activity

  Hello, I posted a while back on an issue I was having with a while loop in a workflow. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=656133&SiteID=1 Alex Mujar provided me with an answer, however I think this is a work around and would like to understand whether this is expected behaviour or a bug. To summarise I am creating workflows in my host by reflection. I reflect into a DLL that contains the workflow to create an instance of the workflow type. My host needs to be independent of specific workflow types, so I use reflection rather than creating types statically. If I put the workflow DLL in the application path for my host all is well. If I do not include the workflow DLL in the application path then I ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework RDF - Profile Manager

  Vasu, RDF is a W3C Recommendation and is used for representing information as a graph with nodes and links. This is particulary useful for profile data because in our experience profile data looks more like a graph as opposed to relational or hierarchical. This is the reason we chose to use RDF.
