• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 SDK - April 2006 V2 RTM Download Problem

  Hi everyone, I want to download the Visual Studio 2005 SDK - April 2006 V2 RTM from http://affiliate.vsipmembers.com/affiliate/downloadFiles.aspx  but the download process is always failed. I try to download the file directly via IE and not via download manager. My questions are, is it because the cookies or session time has expired If is the problem, is there any way to change the expired time out from the client And why don't Microsoft use the Microsoft File Transfer Manager for downloading every files from their sites Thanks in advance. dcoder_85. It's ok, finally managed to get a straight IE download to complete and its ok. For some reason the repeated downloads via a download manager always ended with a c ...Show All

• Visual C++ Combo Box Question

  hi I'm making my first 'simple' application to get me started. its the basic windows Form with just a combo box containg just 3 options ' a or b or c ' ok it works fine but how can i make it remember my last selection i mean when i run the application again it shows nothing and you have to select the option all over again. i was wondering that myself and decided to uninstall the 2003 version and download the free version of Ms Visual Studio .NET 2005 (until i can but the pro version) maybe when thats installed i will try again. Programming can be difficult even to the professionals but being a beginner is a constant uphill task with everything i enter resulting in errors so hopefully getting a newer version of Ms Visual Studio .NET ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best coding practises with ContentManager and GraphicsDeviceManager ?

  I hope someone can give me a decent explanation of this as it's something which I would of thought is pretty essential to writing anything in GSE but makes no mention of it in the documentation. I'm trying to understand the best way for any game elements to access the main games graphics and device, these need to be written in a way that I can give this routine to someone else and they work without the other person having to hard code aynthing in the code I give them. I believe there may of been a more obvious way to do this in beta 1 but I picked things up from beta 2 so some of the examples and documentation is referencing things which have since been taking out. My main confusion comes from the differences in the Windows Game and Spacew ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Flicker in user drawn control

  I need to be able to paint my user control without flicker. I am drawing to a bitmap, and then drawing the bitmap to the screen (double buffering) However, when I call graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0), I still get flicker when the control repaints itself. I'm using a red background color to verify this. I figure that if i use a red background color in my bitmap, i should never see a white flicker, but i do. Any ideas Here's the gist of it: protected override void OnPaint( PaintEventArgs e) { // offScreenGraphics is previously created: offScreenGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(this.OffScreenBitmap) offScreenGraphics = this.OffScreenGraphics offScreenGraphics.Clear( Color .Red); // I draw my custom figures here: Pai ...Show All

• Visual C++ Warning C4482 - Enums

  Maybe this isn't the correct forum, perhaps if I ask the question this way. Is there anything wrong with the way I am using the enum below FigureNames is simply an enum {jack, jill, etc..}. When compiling, it get the following warning; Warning 2 warning C4482: nonstandard extension used: enum 'Names' used in qualified name c:\Documents and Settings\Steve Jackson\My Documents\MySchool\C++\Assign1\Assign1\Assign1\Main.cpp 282 switch (name) { case Names::jack: cout << "My name is jack!"; break ; } If you want to get rid of those obnoxious error messages and you're using MS Visual Studio, encompass your switch statement in #pragma directives. For example, #pragma warning( ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing the Server list

  Hello, I need to create server/client with such funtionality: Server has list, which is shared with alll clients. This means, that all connected clients see the same list. If any client removes item from the list, server and all other clients must imiadetly refresh their list. If not talking more about specific software functionality, I can list such things about comunication, what I need: Communication between applications would be through WAN (internet), so optimal solution for network bandwidth and server resources is critical. In the beginning there would be ~40 clients and this number can increase to 100. Communication channel must be secure, that no one could read or change traveling data. Au ...Show All

• SQL Server Enterprise Manager returns [MS Visual Database Tools] - The parameter is incorrect when returning all rows

  When I try to return all rows from a view or table by selecting Open Table|Return All Rows from the context menu, I get a dialog in the middle of EM stating: An unexpected error happened during this operation. [MS Visual Database Tools] - The parameter is incorrect. Any ideas This could be due to the Enterprise Manager trying to return too many rows that the client machine unable to cope up, you might try from a query analyzer to list the rows which is a recommended way. Also you can test on another machine to see whether it reproduces the same, also apply the recommended service pack to client tools too. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB Output Box

  I am a beginner to VB.Net, I am in my first intro class about it, and I have a question: I'm having to do a project on business travel expenses. The guidelines are as follows: Write a program to generate a business travel expense attachment for an income-tax return. The program should request as input the name of the organization visited, the date and location of the visit, and the expenses for meals and entertainment, airplane fare, lodging, and taxi fares. (Only 50% of the expenses for meals and entertainment are deductible.) The output is displayed in a list box that becomes visible when the button is clicked. Sub procedures should be used for the input and output. The whole output box is to look like this: Business Travel Ex ...Show All

• SQL Server Mirroring Partial Failover

  I'm testing mirroring in a high availability mode and getting some odd results. If I kill the SQL Service (or reboot the machine) fail-over works quickly and correctly. If I unplug the Network cable though I will get some of the databases failed over and some of the databases will either be Mirroring / In recovery or Principal / In recovery and never go live. Right clicking on them and going to properties lists there error that the database is unable to communicate with the Partner or Witness. The databases that this will occur on seem to move around (i.e. it isn't always the same databases, but will often be many of the same databases). If I reboot the databases that will not fail over tend to change fairly dramatically. I've seen instanc ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows::Forms::Timer doesn't re-enable

  I assume this is a threading problem but new to .NET development so I'm not sure what's tripping up. My app (C++/CLI) watches a directory. When a file is created the path/name gets added to a collection class, which in turn fires an event. The UI receives the event, adds the data to an add queue then enables a timer. When the timer tick event occurs I update the UI then stop the timer. Meanwhile, the worker thread processes the file. When finished the worker thread removes the file from the collection class, which in turn fires an event. The UI recieves the event, adds the file path to a remove queue then enables a timer. However the timer never ticks again so the UI is never updated. This is where I'm scratching my head going hmmmm. ...Show All

• SQL Server Row by Row Copy

  I'm writing a stored procedure that requires I duplicate records through a loop, one record at a time (required because I need to execute SCOPE_IDENTITY() logic on each insertion). But each row has 40 or so columns, making my stored procedure ridiculously full of long declaration lists. So I want to either: 1) Learn a way to auto-insert the column declarations into my code without having to type them all by hand, or... 2) Learn a way to represent the whole row for insertion, without having to specify each column specifically. The latter solution would be the most elegant, but I'll take what I can get... The main logic is the part between the declare table and the commit tran. The rest of the code was just to show the rows. I ...Show All
