• Visual Studio December 2005 CTP Required

  I have run into a problem where I need a copy of the December 2005 CTP. I uninstalled the version I had (December 2005) and then tried to install the June 2006 version only to get an error about an existing guidance package that is installed and needs to be removed before proceeding. The problem is since it was built with the 2005 CTP I can't build the solution that is required to unistall it. I find myself in a bit of a catch 22. I can't install 2006 because of a 2005 package but I can't uninstall the 2005 package because I have already unistalled the 2005 toolkit and no longer have the install. I beleive I need to re-install the 2005 CTP so that I can uninstall the package and then proceed with the 2006 install. Does anyone h ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# Web Browser/File Association - all within Windows Application

  Hi, I did search the Windows Forms forums here, and found a lot of file association stuff that pertains to the OS; that's not what I'm looking for. I need the file association to stop while the user is using my windows form, but continue using the OS-recognized file association outside of my app. I'm using MS Office Infopath in a hosted application, but for simplicity's sake, I'll use Word as an example in describing my problem. I have a hosted webbrowser control that defaults to a sharepoint server document library. I want the user to be able to click on a Word document in the library (a document named 'test 555.doc' for example), and when they click on the link, the url of that file, not the webbrowser's statustext field that says & ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Studio 2003

  Dear All, I am currently using Visual Studio 2003, with Framework 1.1. I tried to install v2.0 but VS still uses v1.1. Just wondering whether it was possible to use v2.0 with VS2003, and if so how I would do it. Thanks Sukh im afraid its not possible to use it. Each version of VS is married to the .NET Framework version it was released with, with the exception of VS2005 (allows you to use .NET 3.0 with an addin) the only way to use .NET 2.0 is either: purchase VS2005 download the express editions and dev .NET 2.0 apps within it use the vb.NET or C# compiler of .NET Framework 2.0 and manually write out code with notepad for example download the 180 day trial of VS2005 Professiona ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can You Move the Backbuffer?

  I'm playing around with shaking the screen when explosions occur and thought the best way to do this would be to randomly move the backbuffer. How can I do this kind of effect! Thanks! You aren't technically updating the sprites any more than necessary unless you code it in an inefficient way. Technically, you need to draw each element on the screen anyway, so adding an offset for the shake isn't any extra work (besides the addition). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with code highlighting: TokenInfo class - How to calculate StartIndex and EndIndex properties

  Hi there, I'm using MPF to create the package for custom language. I have a problem with code highlighting implementation. The problem is following: Inside the ScanTokenAndProvideInfoAboutIt method I define the token Type, Color, StartIndex and EndIndex. tokenInfo.Color = TokenColor .Text; tokenInfo.Type = TokenType .Text; tokenInfo.StartIndex = startColumn; // int tokenInfo.EndIndex = endColumn; // int My lexer return the position of every token in (row, column) coordinates. All works perfect when I use spaces in my custom language sources. But when I use tabs - the token positions are moved . I guess that is due to difference in column position and char position.

• Visual C++ Can you tell me how to convert long to BYTE?

  when i upgrading vc6.0 project to vc2005 project it has the following warning: Warning 233 warning C4244: '=' : conversion from 'long' to 'BYTE', possible loss of data e:\ooltip.cpp 1884 the code is as follows: BYTE *iDst ,*posDst; iDst =255*(i%2); //hard Can you tell me how to convert long to BYTE I appreciate your help. What exactly is it you want to do Have a byte pointer to an arbitrary address If so, you can do a cast, like this BYTE* p = reinterpret_cast<BYTE*>(255*(i%2)); I can't quite see what you hope to achieve with this, though, as the pointer will either point to address 0 or 255. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Building a web form programmatically

  I am fairly new to the extensibility realm. I think it is a great tool but I have run into some issues. I am working on an add-in that will generate a basic application based on a database. Currently, the tool has no problem generating the necessary classes and thanks to some of the posts on this forum I have figured out how to add the code to App_Code folder correctly. The problem that I am trying to solve is to create the web form programmatically and then populate it with controls. I can dynamically generate the web form but I can not figure out how to add controls to the page. I would like to have the application write much of the codebehind logic to tie to the classes that the system generates also but until I can figure out the ...Show All
