• Visual C# Validating a Form opened with ShowDialog()

  Hi, I’m using a Form in the Dialog mode “frmIP.ShowDialog()” & I’m trying to validate the input so as not to be able to click OK button unless there is a string in one of the text boxes. (it would reset the focus back to the text box & cancel the click event) I have using the Validating event of the textbox I want to validate. Although this works when I move focus to another text box, the buttons do not trigger the Validating event when I move to them. The buttons & Form are both set to ‘Causes Validation = true’; As a test, I tried a Message box but this simply gets called then the dialog box closes. How can I validate a textbox which is on a form opened with the ShowDialog() method. Any ideas would be ...Show All

• Visual Basic Please suggest me a MS.IT level project to undertake in my college (inhouse project)

  Please suggest / list me the project definitions that you guys can think about that i can pursue as my inhouse project in my university. Hi, Are you after a project idea If so try doing a version of Tetris that combines numbered blocks 1 to 9 within shapes so that the user has to create a line with different numbers in it as per Sudoku rules for the block of lines to disappear. The program should not allow a "4" block on top of another "4" block with the same 3 x 3 area either - as per Sudoku rules or in the same horizontal or vertical line even, ( you may want to make these options in the game ). Should keep you busy. Regards, S_DS ...Show All

• Windows Forms Signing Project Problems

  OK, I have created a key file that I use to sign my project before building it with ClickOnce. So far this has been working fine for me. I have been able to publish new versions of my software and copies in the field will update when I upload the new version. However, recently I formatted my PC and rebuilt it. I reinstalled Visual Studio 8 and then opened my project. At which point I was presented with an Import Key File dialog box asking me for the password for my key file I use to sign the project. I assume it is doing this as the key file is not registered on my PC since I formatted it. This isn't a problem as I just enter the password I used and hit OK. My project now loads. Now when I click to publish my project, I am presented ...Show All

• .NET Development File/Directory path validation

  Hi folks, I'm looking for a way to validate a string whether it is a valid file path and/or directory path. The System.IO.Path class contains some helpful methods but not a solution. I am not looking to find out if the file or directory exists or can be created. I want to know if it is a valid path expression. Relative paths are also important to be distinguished. Is there such a method available I have looked and could not find a good solution yet. Is there a solution in .NET 3.0 Thanks in advance, Remus .NET 3.0 has nothing changed but only add ons like Indigo/Avalon/WPF etc... the main core engine is still .NET 2.0 and no changes made to that. I don't beleive there is a method avail ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is XNA the tool for serious game developers.

  I'm trying to make the decision if our game development team should use XNA as the technology solution. The question is, if XNA is capabale, or is intended to be, a commercial game development tool set for serious game developers. Reviewing the majority of the posts here (XNA vs. C++/DirectX) It is a very powerful and fast development environment, however at the moment its range is limited to the Windows and Xbox 360, meaning that (at the moment ) you cannot develop as easily as you can with C++/DirectX for alternative next-gen platforms (Macintosh (hah, as if), Wii or PS3). I, however, haven't seen many remarks on the possibility to opening this to other platforms. ...Show All
