• Visual Studio VS2005 Extensions for NetFx3

  Hi Is there , I am currently running VS2005 Team Suite for developers on Vista RC2 and have installed the VS Extensions for .Net3. All good so far. Are there plans to update the extensions pack once the RTM of Vista is released main stream, will it be intergrated within VS2005 Sp1 Hi Jason, Currently, the VS 2005 extensions for .Net 3.0 (the zaml/avalon stuff) isn't slated for inclusion until the next release of VS, sometime next year. It's my understanding that the service pack for VS 2005 is mainly a roll up of hotfixes. We won't see the new designers targeting .Net 3.0 (aside from the preview stuff), until the next release of VS (code named Orcas). Sincerely, ...Show All

• SQL Server drill-through feature in a pie chart

  Hello, Assume I have a pie chart report named as Report 1 . This report breaks down a completion state column in the X table . Here is my question; I want to create another pie chart report names as Report 2 , which breaks down the message column in the X table on the basis of a given completion state . In other words, Report 2 should be on the basis of a given completion state, via drill-through from Report 1 . Thus, when I click the different slices of the pie chart of Report 1, I should get a separate pie chart report (i.e. Report 2), which breaks down the message column on the basis of a given completion state Please let me know if you have any idea Sincerely, --Amde Hi Robert, I a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MS: UIElement.IdealSize property request

  Hi Microsoft, I'd like to request that you add an IdealSize property to the UIElement class. This property would essentially return the result of a measurement of the UIElement with "new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity)" passed to it. Right now the issue is that when you have a UIElement with collapsed visibility or a fixed width/height (like 0), there is no way to easily determine what the UIElement would like to be. There are many cases I'm running into where I really need access to the "ideal" size for the element. Hopefully this can be added in the next version of the framework. Thanks! I think we can call ctrl. Measure( new Size ( Double .PositiveInfinity, double .PositiveIn ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 display modes

  Hello there, I'm writing a game which I hope to eventually get running on the Xbox 360. I was wondering what display modes are available on the console. Am I right in guessing that the display mode is fixed, as it would be dependent on the user's TV Thanks, Peter TVs themselves work at 320x480, but some support upto 640x480. You can of course use a higher resolution, but then you get a serious blurring issue with text and backgrounds. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro move question

  Hi again, I want to know if there is a function or command to move a file in visual fox pro 7. For example, if i want to move 'c:\users\pru.dbf' to c:\myapplicaction\pru.dbf. Thanks, As has already been posted, there is nothing native to VFP to get a move done in one fell swoop. But, there always is the use of the Windows API to do a move, if you must go in that direction.

• SQL Server Another Major Flaw with Reporting Services!

  Where is the text (.txt) export functionality I don't see any ascii text export mechanism without the .csv extension. Where is actual .TXT file of the reports. How do I get a .txt conversion out of the reports without messing with the .csv files. I would've wanted direct .txt export from the generation mechanism. This seems extremely basic form of reporting generation. I can't believe you can't get txt report out of reporting services. Enkh. So, if you abstract yourself from the fact that a csv extension suggests comma-separated output and customize the CSV renderer in rsreportserver.config as shown here , do you think that your requrements are met <Extension Name="CSV" Typ ...Show All
