• Visual Basic Bizzare problem! IDE won't accept any changes.

  Something very bizzare is happening and I have no clue as to why. Whatever changes I make to a form in the IDE whether it be adding a button, removing a button, or changing the text (title of the form), it will show in the IDE designer. But when I run it, it's as if none of the changes were made. A button I removed is still there and the code behind it still executes although I commented that code out. Saving the files doesn't fix it. Closing the solution and reopening it doesn't fix it. Exiting Visual Studio altogether and restarting it doesn't fix it. And restarting Windows XP doesn't either. It's as if my application is stuck where I left it last night. When I reboot everything, launch Visual Studio, and open the sol ...Show All

• Visual C++ mangled name

  Is there any API to retrieve the address of a method (private/public) using the mangled name. the method is supposed to be a class member. we can know the mangled name from the .map file in VC++ 6.0 Please also suggest a method of using this in GCC. einaros wrote: Shouvik wrote: So please suggest a way to retrieve the address(HEX Value) from the mangled name. Un-mangle the name using undname, and fetch the address using GetProcAddress() . Erh Why would you expect the unmangled name to produce valid input to GetProcAddress If the function is indeed exported it would very likely have the mangled name in the export name table, but certainly not anything I can thi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Double-Buffering

  Hi all, I'd greatly appreciate any help or comment in advance, I've never made graphic applications with C# and so maybe my question is so basic and I really apologize for that. By the way, In my application there are two main forms, for instance 'frm_back' and 'frm_front' such that the 'frm_back' is loaded first and then number of 'frm_front' are loaded on top of it. (it looks like number of objects added to the main form), in addition around each of the 'frm_front' forms a circle is created on the 'frm_back' to show the location of the front forms. By starting the application these 'frm_front' forms move on the screen randomly and so the circles -around them- must move respectively; but the thing is these circles flicker when b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. pop up box? in game

  Hi newbie problem, i am trying to create a few options for the player to choose from like: 10 x 10 = 100 10x10 = 1000 10x10 = 10 i was going to do this as images as i cannot think of a better way of showing on screen is there an easier way then if the person clicks on a certain versinity like x = >10 it will display a message if wrong box selected explaining the answer how can i do this can anyone help thanks You could also just have each answer represented by a keyboard button or by a button on the gamepad. Then, rather then trying to detect where the user clicked. Just check to see which answer the player selected via the button press. So if your question is "What is 10 x 10 " ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows CE.Net Version 4.20

  Ok, I have an application developed on VS 2005, and it runs fine on Windows Mobile 5.0. Now, I've tried to install and run on CE.Net Ver 4.20 and it doesn't run at all. I've had a look around on this site and found some info, and I installed the .NET framework service pack 1 patch, and then I copied over the NETCFv2.wce4.ARMV4.cab file. Then it goes wrong! I try to install, and it doesn't want to know it - I get a message '....failed to install because the installation file is not intended for this device' So, is there any way around this, or is that it, no go Next possible obstacle would be OS dependencies required by NETCF V2 but missing from OS image. You would have to contact device manufacturer to resolve that. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic diagram creation

  Hi! I have to create a kind of diagram that is circle with 1 filled sector. I take only 1 argument - percentage - and correspondantly fill that sector. Is there any simple or proved method of such task solution The first thing that comes to mind is to create circle, and then some kind of filled path containing arc and two lines that connect arc endpoints with center of circle. And then combine all these elements into 1. Maybe there is a better way Thanx viliescu wrote: If you apply a RenderTransform to a visual object, the coordinates of the object will not be modified.

• SQL Server Copying databases

  Hello,   I'm attempting to launch a new ASP .NET site and I'm having problems moving my database, caused I'm sure by my own ignorance. I built the database in SQL Server 2005 Express but found that I couldn't use it to copy the database to the deployment server, so I uninstalled it and now I'm using a 6 month trial version of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition. The server to which I want to copy my database is SQL Server 2003 (version 8.0.760). My first attempt succeeded in uploading the tables and their data, I then used the "Generate Scripts" command to produce a large query detailing how to create my stored procedures, I ran this script on the destination server and it eventually worked ok. However, for some reaso ...Show All

• .NET Development Identifying Domain/Workgroup

  I need a way to identify on what domain or workgroup a particular computer belongs. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this I'm just identifying computers via the System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping class, so if there's maybe a more efficient system that's already implemented through the shell or something to view all the computers on the network and their shares that would be great and appreciated as well. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Label information when viewing file/folder history

  Hi, Can I get label information when viewing file/folder history Thanks, Michael. Not in the UIs we've built for v1. Here's a quick explanation why: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2005/11/18/494439.aspx I've seen some 3rd-party UIs that incorporate label information. I know we also plan to add it in future versions of the product, but I don't think we've decided how it should look yet. As you can tell from the blog post, properly representing labels in a linear history is hard. If you have any ideas, feel free to share them here or on Connect. ...Show All

• Visual Basic General question about learning VB.NET

  hi, I hope there are experienced VB developers here that have been with the product awhile so that my question may be answered: I have heard that VB.NET is so different from VB 6 that you might as well learn another language. Is this true Thanks! And Merry Christmas : ) Seems the comments I read elsewhere on the internet were posted by object-phobic, .NET-adverse whiners : ) Thanks bros...have a safe holiday ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unshelve then Undo pending changes leaves files writeable?

  Unshelve then Undo all pending changes leaves files writeable Is this the correct behaviour I would have expected the files to be rolled back to the previous workspace version or top of tree maybe It is possible that it was the pending adds from the shelveset, but shouldn't my workspace have been rolled back to not have those anymore I have to check if that is the case, but still that would be pretty confusing to most people you think ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cannot add table adapter to datatable

  If I have a dataset in my project, and I've added a datatable to it, when I right click on it the option to add a tableadapter is greyed out. It seems as though I have to add a tableadapter to get a datatable with tableadapter connected to it. What if you already have a datatable in your project and want to add a tableadapter to it I had a recommendation to install SP1, and I did, but it did not fix the problem. No response since then. Well, you can always use the DataAdapter instead of the TableAdapter. It amounts to the same thing basically and is not specifically tied-in to your DataTable (which I think is preferable anyway ... I don't believe that a DataSet should know anything about where the data cam ...Show All

• .NET Development StreamLine Code - Transaction Control

  Hi, The language I am using is visual c# .net I have a program that contains the following: functionA will call functionB and functionC and functionD. functionB will open the database and insert a record. functionC will open the database and query the database. function D will open the database and update the database. I want to simplify that because: 1.I want to provide transaction control to my work. 2.besides the fact that the last 3 functions repeat almost all the same work. I want it so that functionA will open the database.  Then functionA will call functionB to perform it's insert, then it will call functionC to perform its query and finally it will call functionD to perform its update.
