• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. No typedef and no Include. . .

  Are these VBA programmers writing the .Net framework and languages Many of you probably already know this, as I'm arriving late to the party. I wanted to use the typedef equivalent but apparently not in C#. Then of course I thought I'd try the #include -- maybe so, if I wanted comments (I gather). The end result: Common.cs using System; namespace <yoursHere> { using ID = System.Int32; public class objID { private ID itsID; public objID( ID theID ) { itsID = theID; } public ID ID { get { return itsID; } set { itsID = value; } } } } Did I miss something Why not just: class AClass { public uint itsID; } The reasons why you need ty ...Show All

• .NET Development Interface Between .Net 1 and 2

  It seems like the answer to this question should be obvious. But I can't seem to find any sort of answer anywhere on the net. Perhaps my search skills are too poor. But if you could help point me in the right direction... I have an existing asp.net 1.1 website. I have a new .net 2 dll. I want the existing website to use the new dll. What is the best way to accomplish this My thoughts... * web service * remoting * rewrite dll in .net 1 * console app that the website can execute via process.start() Any insight, guidance, direction, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

  In vb.net it is so simple all you do is add a button on the form and when both form1 and form2 is open all you had to do is this. form2.textbox1.text = "Cat" where in c# it is not that simple.

Form2 has a textbox and form1 has a button on it that I want to pass a certain word to the textbox on form2 To assign the caption of form2 with a value from a textbox in form1.

  Hi All, Hope someone can help me on this or point me in the right direction. I have looked at lots of threads and other parts of the forum but seem to be going round in circles so anyone if you can please help. So far this is where I'm at ---> 1) I have SQL Server Installed and have created a small 'test' database. 2) I have created a single table called "Account" added 4 fields and added some data, again all within the SQL Server interface. 3) Within VB.NET I've opened a new 'application' and from the 'Toolbox' --> 'Data' have added SqlConnection1 and SqlDataAdapter1 to the 'form'.

• Windows Forms Binding 2 Forms

  Hi All I'm sure this question has been asked a 100 times over but could someone please help me with this in a detailed way. I have a form, with a datagridview which is linked to binding source. For our purposes let's call it BindingSource1. This datagridview shows a list of patients which are currently in my database by displaying only patient numbers. What I would like to happen, is i select a patient number from the list and click a button on the same form which which opens up another form which will display the information about the patient. I only want to display this information and not allow the user to edit it. How do I go about passing the information on the patient, ie. the unique_id or whatever is used to the second form ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetMsmqBinding does not Queue

  I am new to Indigo. So far, this technology looks like it should be very useful for many of our applications, but am not having much luck with the example code. We are most interested in the asynch possibilities of NetMsmqBinding. The MSDN samples (examples) for NetMsmqBinding are not working for me, though the non-queuing examples do work. Specifically, the "Transacted MSMQ Binding" and the "Transacted Batching" examples at MSDN Library > .NET Development > Samples > Windows Communication Foundation Samples > Windows Communication Foundation Technology Samples > Basic Windows Communication Foundation Technology Samples > Binding Samples > Net Binding Samples > NetMsmqBinding Samples (whew! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Advanced Outlook addin .msi/setup.exe Questions

  I've written a working installer. If the user runs it, he has to hit "next" once or twice to install it. No actual decisions have to be made. If we roll out an upgrade, the user has to uninstall the old addin before he can install the new one. So I have two questions about making this process better: First, what would I have to do to make my installer suitable for, say, SMS deployment I'd like to take the burden off the user. I looked at the "Admin" installer functionality, but I interpreted that as a process which simply sets the app to run or install from a network, as opposed to automating the local install itself. Second, isn't there versioning in the MSI system such that you can install a newer vers ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Image Cropping

  Does Visual Basic all image cropping I would like to take a big image and allow in a UI (windows app) for the user to be able to click a certain thing and it would make a crop of a certain area (box) around that area. In a normal case we would have 50-100 cropped images that would come from this one large image. Thanks Here is a link to a sample program that I wrote a few years ago in VB.NET (2002) that should be convertable to VB2005. It does cropping from any location within an image starting from the MouseDown position and ending with the MouseUp position. It draws the dashed-line box too. Maybe it will give you the idea you need for your project. james aka:Trucker http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSampl ...Show All
