• Windows Forms Avoid registering in ressources file

  Hi, I'm wondering how I can avoid a graphics component to the RESX file and so to ressources part of my assemblie. I'm using Picture Box in my forms. To make my design, I directly set the ImageProperty to the good image. But after, I've developped a tool that update my picture box from a directory (in order to be able to change image without recompiling). So I do not need the image to be stored in the Resx File. I've the same question with ImageList ! Thanks for any help !         Just don't set the Image property in the designer. To remove it afterwards, click on the Image property in the Properties window and type Ctrl + A, Del. And delete the image from the Resources node in your projec ...Show All

• SQL Server Distributed Transaction

  Hi again, I do not know when to use Distributed Transaction. Would you please give an example about its usage or give a tutorials about this Thanks distributed transaction involves more than one server. meaning you can create transaction tokens that are distributed across the enterprise.   A single sql server alone would not be enough to handle data for a very large enterprise. Sql server can be scaled out by adding additional server. Distibuted transaction allows you to perform an ACID operations between servers.   transaction stipulates that all work needs to be done other wise everything rolls back. distributed transaction  allows you to work on differents server( server1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 3D : One Graph, multiple viewport. How to deal with ModelVisual3D & Model3DGroup Limitation ?

  I'm having a hard time figuring out how to implement a graph of 3d node and represent this graph in multiple viewport. basically, ModelVisual3D offer me everything i need so i could inherit from it to create my GraphNode class but once a  ModelVisual3D is added to a viewport3d you can't add it to an other. I could inherit from Model3DGroup and figure out how to add a Content property but it is sealed and don't give hittest for nodes.   i have read Daniel Lehenbauer's Blog about this, but still can't find any way. http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/archive/2005/10/09/478923.aspx Thanks       Right, Model3DGroup is what you want because it can have ...Show All

• .NET Development Difference between ADO Execute and (Delete, Update, Addnew)

  This forum topic is for ADO. I am working in Pro*C to ADO equivalent conversion. In Pro*C method, update, delete and insert sql statements are availabe. The same code should be used for both ORACLE and SQL Server database. There are 2 approaches to convert these statements: 1. Connection.Execute "sql statement for update, delete or insert" 2. Open the Recordset with use of select statement for update, delete or insert. Change the feild values and call the Recordset.Update method for update query, Recordset.Delete method for delete query or Recordset.Addnew & Recordset.Update for insert query. Which is the correct approach in ADO for the above 3 types of SQL statements Thanks for your response. Consi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Drag and Drop List View Item

  I'm building an List View box that has List View Items which can be dragged and dropped. I have been able to pull enough info from the Windows SDK and other web resources to get the drag and drop functionality partially working. I am unsure how to detect where to insert the dragged list box item with WPF. In WIndows Forms you could do something similar to listBox.IndexFromPoint(x,y). Is there an equivalant in WPF to determine this Perhaps there is a better way to determine where to reinsert the dragged item Thank you, Bill This might be what you are after.

  Hi, How do I export data from my database table into a Comma separated value file format.

• Visual FoxPro Report form problem

  I'm using printer "Epson 24pin compatible" and created 2 forms, "INV" and "DN" which is custom size. When I develop the pgm in my pc, I changed the printer and form in the report form and it works properly.

I have to modify the report form in that PC and re-complie, then it worked properly. What's the problem and how can I fix it Thanks, Edward FRXs store printer info from your development machine and stick to it in production.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Will Xna Framework support device queries, like occlusion query?

  I couldn't see any support for device queries in the docs, have I missed it If not are there plans to add query support Cheers, Leaf. I agree too. And not just for lens flare. It have numerous uses: - Terrain visibility. - Lens flare. - Looking if a grenade affect the player with a very good precision. - etc. :) It solves any kind of line check in a very efficient manner and, while it's slower than traces and ray testing, it's sometimes the best way to see if something can "see" something else. As a more concrete exemple, I wanted to use queries to to do a first pass on cell to cell visibility on my terrain engine without any math involved ( need a fast video card but it's simple to implement ...Show All

• SQL Server Wrong values stored in a field of Datatype Float

  Hi, When i try to insert a value in to a field of datatype float(8), it is storing the wrong values(approximate values). For example, if i try to insert 2.62 , it takes it as 2.6200000000000001 But i can see the correct values displayed in the frontend. Heard that there is a fix available for this issue. Could any of you help me in getting the details about that fix Thanks in advance. ~ Chaitanya In addition to what Jens said, read here about the float datatype: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173773.aspx It is what is called an approximate datatype, so you can have some minor (mathematically insignificant) differences between what you expect and what ...Show All
