• .NET Development Request Object - # character in the QueryString

  Hello: I am having problem of Request.queryString("address") to get the value of address, if the address contains '#' character then it is chopping up to # then I am not getting remaining part of value and other values in the query string.

Use UrlEncode or write # directly in the url. ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb 2500 tcpListener accepting connections JUST FROM ONE ip address

  Hi guys! I've been using TcpListener and TcpClient classes (I read examples from on line help of Visual Studio 2005). I succeeded in making a tcp server that works quite well. Now I want that this server could accept connections from just one and only IP address (that I choose). Does anybody know how to make it I think it's a simple trick but I'm not able... Thanks for any kind of advise! Zingaro. ehm... sorry: *************** 'se la connessione proviene da un altro ip la ignoriamo e restiamo in ' attesa di un'altra connessione *************** this is italian language and it means: *************** 'if connection is from a different ip address we ignore it and ke ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums worksheet_change and data validation

  Hi there I have an Excel spreadsheet in which one column has data validation set. So the cells in this column have drop-down lists with the pre-set allowed values. Now I want the cell in the neighboring column to be set to some default value when the user selects an item from the drop-down list. This seemed like it would be easy, using the Worksheet_Change event handler. When a cell in the first column is changed, it initiates a function which sets the value in the neighboring column to some default value: Target.Offset(0,1).Value = "default". The problem is that it doesn't work when using the drop-down list. If the user types in the value manually, or if a cell in the first column is deleted, it DOES fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Automation in Excel 2003 fails when linked in Word or PowerPoint

  I am building a shared add-in for Excel but am having difficulties with Excel objects in Word or PowerPoint when my add-in is running. I have found out that the problem comes from listening to Application events in Excel and have made a simple project that reproduces the error. I used the VS2005 template wizard for making a shared add-in and my connect.cs looks as follows: using System; using Extensibility; using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; namespace MyAddin1 { [ Guid ( "CE7B3AF1-9095-4e05-92FC-66F3AF564C47" ), ProgId ( "ExcelAddin.Connect" )] public class Connect : Object , IDTExtensibility2 { public Connec ...Show All

• Visual Basic Update dataset

  Hello. A question please. I use a dataset to retrieve data of a table. Then, I move the data from the dataset to controls. It works fine. After that, users make changes on the screen, I retrieve all information from controls and I update my table. It works fine tot. My table (SQLserver) is updated with the changes done by the user, but my dataset contains old data, (data without changes done by the user). How can I update de dataset Thanks... In vb.net the approach is a bit different. You need to update the changes made in the controls to the dataset. and then update the dataset onto the table (database) through a adapter.update(dateset) command. ...Show All

• Visual C++ BUG? auto_ptr assignment crash in VS2005

  I've just experienced a crash with VS2005 with the following: #include <memory> class Foo { public: Foo* MakeFoo() {return new Foo(*this); } }; void TestCrash() { Foo f; { // either of the next lines crashes std::auto_ptr<Foo> fooPtr1=NULL; std::auto_ptr<Foo> fooPtr2=f.MakeFoo(); } } This same sample doesn't compile on VS2003 as there is no assignment operator for auto_ptr. Changing these lines to use the constructor form: auto_ptr<Foo> fooPtr1(Null) fixes the problem. It seems that auto_ptr is using the wrong constructor -- it's implicitly casting to an auto_ptr_ref type. Is this a known issue What makes you believe that Did you ever look at the operator auto_ptr_ref() ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX performance issues, multithreaded

  Hi, I'm writing a DirectX application with two threads: Main thread: Processed Windows messages, renders frames Secondary thread: Runs game engine When my main thread runs without Sleep(milliseconds), I get about 700 - 800 frames per second, but my engine thread does maybe 5 loops per second. When I put Sleep(0) or any other small number into my render thread, the FPS drops to 64 (strange number btw). I am pretty sure I count my FPS correctly (QueryPerformanceTimer & count frames, after one second fps = framesRendered / timeElapsed). My engine thread doesn't do much most of the time and it has Sleep(50) in it. For some reason it doesn't make a difference what sleep time I put into engine thread, I still get about 64 FPS i ...Show All
