• .NET Development ConfigurationErrorsException on Saving

  I have a created a custom section, that contains user settings. These settings are in a file located by a user defined location. I open this section using the "OpenMappedExeConfiguration" of the configuration manager. Everything works fine, until I open a second instance of my program and attempt to save changes. Since the second instance utilizes the same config file, I am getting a "ConfigurationErrorsException" . -The configuration file has been changed by another program. (C:\Documents and Settings\....config) How can I overcome this problem Will the configurationmanager work in this senerio Is there a way to merge changes ps. not that it should matter but this is a winforms app. Thanks for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions RichTextBox Images Can Stretch

  Hi, I'm using the paste method to insert images in a RichTextBox, the trouble is the user can stretch the images by dragging them with the mouse. Is there anyway to stop this behaviour Or is there another way to insert images into a RichTextBox control that pastes the images with fixed dimensions Okay, the following code seems to 'undo' a picture resize. I don't know if it has any bad side effects. Private Sub RichTextBox1_TextChanged( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.TextChanged 'MsgBox(RichTextBox1.UndoActionName) If RichTextBox1.UndoActionName = "Unknown" Then RichTextBox1.Undo() End If End Sub ...Show All

• SQL Server Best way to relate to arbitrary levels in hierarchy?

  Hi, I have a geographic dimension (Zip Code <- City <- County <- State), and my underlying OLTP data typically relates to the Zip Code Dimension Key. My problem is that for ~40% of the records in my OLTP system, we only have granularity to the County or State level. Is there any way I can still use my geographic dimension to include those records, albeit at a less granular level Thanks! Hi Arjun. One potential solution is the use of a parent-child hierarchy. Parent-child hierarchies allow non-leaf members to show values with the MembersWithData property. Set the MembersWithData property to NonLeafDataVisible, and link your fact table foreign key of the geographic dimension to the appopriate pri ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package Designer performance after installing SP1

  Hi, When I installed SP1 on my SQL Server 2005, the performance of the package designer dropped enormously. I have to wait like 30 seconds after I drag-and-drop a datasource from the toolbox to the design area. Also it takes a very long time to run the very simple package. Not to mention opening some complicated package that was done before applying SP1. The package scheduled in SQL Agent went from 3-4min to 5-6min. Can anyone address this issue Maybe there's something I did wrong While installing SP1 I ecountered strange behaviour (some messages about file locking, rebooting and stuff), but in the end it said that it was successful Best Regards Wojtek Ok, it looks like workaround #1 from the k ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Interfaces

  Could anyone point me in the right direction regarding programming c# with interfaces. I've googled up the subject and whilst there are some good tutorials on how to do it, non of them really explain in simple terms why we should or shouldn't. I just can't seem to get my head around how they work properly. What an interface actually consists of is a full class definition, minus any of the method bodies (ie. Just the method prototypes and member definitions). Each class that inherits from the interface has to provide it's own implementation for the methods in the interface. The key difference here between general class inheritance and implementing an interface is that the interface doesn't provide an implementation, which in some ca ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Access system(or shell) imagelist in WinCE 5.0?

  Hi How to access system's(or shell's!) imagelist in Windows CE 5.0 . In desktop versions of windows we can get it from shell32.dll. But I have no idea about Windows CE 5.0. Can someone help me out please. thanks, Mahesh. Hi Alex Thank you for the reply. Actually I am new to this environment, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think there is an undocumented api Shell_GetImageLists() using which we can access large (32 x 32) and small (16 x 16) icons of the system. But it works in Windows XP where we have Shell32.dll. Does Windows CE 5.0 maintain any system image list (kind of shell32.dll) If yes, how to access it and use it in other user applications cheers, Mahes ...Show All
