• Visual Studio Documenting overloaded methods and Sandcastle

  I'm a bit of a newbie using Sandcastle, so please bear with me. I'm at a lost. I cannot find out how to document the collection of overloaded methods. For instance. Say I have four overloaded Add() methods: public void Add( string name) public void Add(string name, Socket socket) public void Add( Socket socket, RobotPart robotpart) public void Add(string name, Socket socket, RobotPart robotpart) It looks to me as though Sandcastle, by default creates a folder for all of these Add() methods, and randomly chooses one of the headers as the folder name (again please bear with me about the names I am using) Now, within a summary tag for another method, say GetSomething(), I want to place a tag which wil ...Show All

• Visual Basic Directory Security Attributes

  Window XP Pro, VB.NET 2005 standard or VB.NET2003 Enterprise I have problem on how to get a Directory’s Users Security Attributes. Say Directory DirA have three users(one group) GroupUser1, UserA and UserB. How can I use VB.NET 2005 to get the information of any one of the three user/group permissions (Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, Write, Special Permission). Those permissions are either Allow or Deny. I will save all those information to a database or a text file if I know how to read those permissions.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio WebDeveloper and Oracle XE 10g

  I installed VS Web Dev and am tryng to connect to a local instance of Oracle's 10g XE database. The text in the database connections box only mentions conections up to Oracle 9i DB. VS Web Dev does not seem to be connecting, but the error returned is from Oracle TNS: cannot resolve service name. How should the service name be entered in VS Web Dev. Does this mean 10g XE is out I believe Oracle 10g XE can be used only with Visual Studio 2005 standard or professional editions (they support addins and will allow you to install the appropriate add in which you can download from: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/tools/index.html ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No Blue Channel?

  Hi all: Thanks for all your help, my sky sphere now renders from the inside out, and thanks to www.thehazymind.com , I have a working camera to peer inside the sphere. I am stumped on something though. When I render a model that has texture maps with blue in it, such as the aformentioned skysphere, I don't seem to have a blue channel. The texture appears green instead. I'm stymied from the lack of help from the help files (of course they're beta). Any ideas Here's what I'm doing to render: //Get ready to draw the sky sphere graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.DepthBufferEnable = false ; graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.CullMode = CullMode .None; //Reset drawing states graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.Alpha ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista change integrity level

  Hi, All I want to start a process with medium integrity level from a low integrity level process. From http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/ietechcol/dnwebgen/protectedmode.asp , I found an example which starts a lower integrity level process instead and use the following hard coded Low integrity SID of "S-1-16-4096". What's the value for other integrity levels' SID(medium|high|system) I searched June CTP's SDK and document, but didn't find anything. One more thing is that also following an example from above link, I try to lower the integrity level of a named pipe in the same process which created it, but I got error code 5(access denied). Anyone knows what goes wrong code fol ...Show All

• Visual C# Disabling Ctrl + Alt + Del

  I'm writing an employee login application where I of course don't want users messing with Windows while it is running; Therefore I need to disable ctrl+alt+del. I've spent 2 hours now trying to figure out how to do this in C#. I've read from some people that I have to write my own version of GINA. I've also read about using WlxLoggedOnSAS to capture the ctrl+alt+del event. Are these the best mothods for doing this If so how on earth can I accomplish this task Thanks for the help :) Frankly, you shouldn't be attempting this at all. Ctrl-Alt-Delete is meant to be a secure path into the OS; when a user is entering their password, we need to guarantee that he is interacting only with the operating system . If ...Show All

• .NET Development Dynamically update project refrence

  I have a vb.net class project.It is referenced in multiple exe projects. Now if I recompile this project my version number changes. Can I do any thing like recompile my dll application. Then I just copy the the dll on my exe project's bin directory.And I shouldn't need to recompile my exe application. What I need is that refrence to my executeable project should dynamically updated. Can I do that by any mean I am using VS2003 Although using proxy dll is the best solution but in case you dont care about the version of dll you can fix the version number also in assemblyinfo.cs or wherever it exists in your case. http://DotNetWithMe.blogspot.com vikas goyal ...Show All

• Commerce Server Custom Pricing

  Hi, We have an order processing application that we have successfully integrated with CS2007, using BizTalk Server 2006. We are using two base catalogs with a total of about 1,000 parts, each with 4-5 variants. Our customer now wants us to implement 'custom' pricing in the same manner as the order processing application. The request is to offer custom prices by customer by product by variant. We originally thought we would be able to use Virtual Catalogs, but since the same discount applies to all products, and all variants within the product, this method is too generic since the discounts vary per product, per variant. The only other solution that we can think of is to create individual catalogs per customer, forcing the desired ...Show All

• Visual Basic It takes so long to verify before installing a VB published program!

  How to solve this problem I wrote a program in VB 2005 Express. When installing it in another computer, it first shows something like " verify ..." and this takes about 5 mins. The program itself is only about 1M. Shouldn't it be much faster to install Also, publish function works only if prerequisite is set be be downloaded from web. How can I make it independant of web Thanks for reading! Referring to the "Verify..." situation, it could be the AV virus kicking in and causing it to slow down, however generally, regardless of the size of the application, generally the installer may take some time to verify itself, other required resource, packages etc.... if it is actually taking a while (a g ...Show All

  I've tried setting up TFS 5 times now. what a joke. each time i have come up with a different error. might i add, that it isn't a short install either because i always have to uninstall everything and re-install everything. in my 10 years of working with computers, i have never come across anything as finicky as this. i have gone throught the install guide word for word four of the times. there has to be an easier way to do this. Roger that! I am getting the sharepoint database error and yet each time I follow the directions on how to re-install SPS for TFS it does no good. WTF! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions The Matsui riddle (Advanced programmers only)

  Sensei Matshui is now old and blind. He sits in the sun drenched courtyard of his dojo in Tokyo. He has fifty student in five rooms. 10 in each. All the students in the same room have the same name. They are  itchi, ni, san , si and go. They are well disciplined and obedient.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A very simple terrain component.

  Hey, I was inspired by the game components demo Mitch put up the other day, to toss together a terrain component of my own. Just be sure to supply it with a texture. 'N' generates a new terrain on the fly. It uses the BasicEffect for rendering (cudos to Microsoft for ditching fixed function). The Perspective, World, and View matrices are all hard coded though, so you can't move around or anything.
