• Visual Studio Express Editions Button Click within a for each loop

  Fairly new to VB express. Is it possible to have a button click event from within a for each loop on a form i.e. the button being clicked refreshes the form and moves on to the next iteration of the loop Any suggestions welcomed. The answer to that one is it is not simplistic enough for the type of users I envisage. I have experimented with both datagrid and details view and I am not satisfied with either for this particular case mainly because of the additional amount of related data that needs to be shown for each field it becomes confusing. However if a button click cannot be called from within a loop I will need to think again and maybe use 7 identical forms to do the same thing. ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune Subscription

  I've been scrounging around online and thought I might be able to get a definitive answer here. Currently, I have Napster-to-go with my Dell DJ. The DJ is on it's way out the door, and I'm looking at getting a Zune. Will this Zune subscription thing for 15 bucks a month allow me to transfer music to the player itself, or is it simply to let you listen to music on your computer In other words, will there be something like napster-to-go that works with the Zune TIA! Yes, it's true. Think about it though--you pay $14.99/month, and have access to a library of around 2 million songs. So, for $14.99/month, you can listen to whatever you want. It's true that when you stop paying, you stop being able to listen ...Show All

• Windows Forms Building a Form Manager

  Hey All, I have seen numerous posts where people mention building a form manager to keep track of open forms and other settings. Can anyone point me to an example of such an animal I want to build a manager that when a new form is opened, it is stored in the central location. I also want to be able to go to a central location to check the "Current User" as this is an application class, and is easily and frequently switched on the fly by the user. Basically a central location to go to that is up to date with the current environment. However, I am not quite sure where to start, and an example of one would be nice. Thanks, Hammy Here's the way I do it: First the FormsHandler c ...Show All

• Visual C# why multiple inheritance of classes in not supported in C#?

  Multiple inheritance is not supported in C# but it can be achieved using interfaces is fine. But can you explain why multiple inheritance of classes in not supported in C# Multiple inheritance causes problems, if one or more of the parent classes defines members with same identifier. You would have to decide which parent to use to handle each method call, and the operation of class can be then very different than intended. And usually, there is no situations when multiple inheritance is needed. "Good" classes usually maps to some phenomenom or object, and very few things are at the same time  based on two different things. Usually when people wish to do multiple inheritance (is-a), a "has-a" relation is needed, meaning that a ...Show All

• SQL Server Truncate Logfile

  Dear all, I am using SAP with MSSQl 2005. My transaction logfile is full. I took backup of transaction logfile and it should be truncated and shrink after the backup, but it did nothing. There is no error but the file size remain same. I tried from SQL server management studio selecting database--right click--shrink--file. Then i try to release unused space, shrink, but not worked. I also checked these steps while the SAP system was stopped. Can anyone guide me what to do now Thanks Imran Hasware Log truncation and shrink file are two different things. Truncating the log does not usually result in shrinking the log file, it will remain the same size. If you are really unable to truncate ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Help Building a Custom Annotation Report View for BSM

  Hi, I am trying to make a custom report for MS Business Scorecard server. I have implemented the sample report from the white paper on building custom report.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Resize proportionaly window

  Hello to all! I need to realize a window that at the same time resizes width and height, maintaining therefore the proportion of the window. How can I do it Thanks! Unfortunately, there is no built in support for proportionaly sizing the window.  The layout effect you're seeing is because SizeChanged is fired by the layout system and then you're resize the window from that event handler.  This causes the layout system to go in a loop.  One thing to try would be to resize the window from a Dispatcher work item using Dispatcher.BeginInvoke but that might not give you the desired behavior. A slightly more involved way of doing this involves using win32 interop.  You can use intero ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Layer Past Zoom Level 17?

    Hello people,    I have set up a custom Tile Server to serve up some Hight Detail tiles as a custom layer: I have set the VETileSourceSpecification.MaxZoom property to 18, as my TileServer can produce tiles at any magnification.  It all works fine at normal zoom levels, but once I soom past Zoom Level 17, where VE Tiles stop - then there appears to be just vast amounts of grey/gray Anyone have any ideas on how to allow VE to render my custom layer at a higher zoom level   I don't care if the normal tiles don't display.  All I need is for my custom layer to render. e.g. //Add layer tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification(); tileSourceSpec.ID = "HighDetailLayer" ; tileSourceSp ...Show All

• SQL Server OPENROWSET T-SQL function

  Hi everyone, I have some doubts about OPENROWSET T-SQL function . According to my knowledges about this, openrowset function provide us to use a data from a different Server only that time that we use this function. After we use this function, there is no any linked server trace on the local server. So is this true I see that everyone use different parameter for this function. For instance, everyone firstly use OLE DB name and then the second srvprovider name changes programmer to programmer, so why And lastly, I wonder about the relationship between ad hoc method and openrowSet function.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. texture coordinates

  The stupidest question..whats worse, Ive had the answer somewhere, but just cannot remember the link or how to do it. Ok, so here's the problem. I have a tileset - basically isometrci tiles of size 45px wide and 46px high. Now, having a gazzillion of textures with one sprite each is just stupid(talking 3D here), so I'm packing lots of tiles into one texture. No problem here, theyre made to fit together nicely, and its all going well. Now, say i have a 64x64 textre(im oversimplyfying it, just for the sake of the example), and one 45x46 tile on it, located in the left corner. Now, im trying to draw an isometric map..How well, basically defining tilted squares and mappig the texture to them. THe problem comes up when the texture is drawn - it ...Show All
