• Visual Basic IRunningObjectTable.Register Example?

  Does anyone have an example of how to register an automation server in the ROT (Runtime Object Table) using IRunningObjectTable.Register and how to revoke it using IRunningObjectTable.Revoke Thanks, You're probably right about .Net 2.0. That seems like the only difference. One more question... Will this work equally well with VB Are there any differences (other than the obvious syntax, of course) in doing this in VB vs C# Thanks, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector maths methods...

  Following a long day of writing and debugging some nasty rigid body physics code, and feeling the pain of the maths library I have to use for this C++ work, I thought I'd take another look at the XNA maths code to see if the results would be more readable (as you might hope ;). ... But my quick look at the framework docs seems to show more deficiencies than in the code I have been using all day... 1/ There is no Point3 class. This is a real pain as libraries that don't distinguish points and vectors are a right pain - transforming a point by a 4x4 matrix will result in a different result to transforming a vector. (And I don't want to resort to coding every point/vector as a homogeneous coordinate either!). There appears to be a ...Show All

• Visual C# BUFFER a page into the cache before loading page into browser

  If I am not mistaken (but please do correct me if I am) a webpage is buffered into the cache of the machine before it is loaded into the browser. Question: (if the above statement is true) How can I manipulate(read, write) the stored page in the cache before it can be loaded into the browser. NOTE: "It would be in C# way if possible. " Please help me in this, I am trying to manipulate a page before it is loaded into my self-made browser.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Retrieving Color Values

  Although color values can happily be assigned by name or hexadecimal notation they appear to be stored in a less friendly numeric format that is not consistent between browsers. For example, obj.fill="red" easily assigns a color value to obj, but then referencing obj.fill.color returns a numeric value of 4294901760 in Internet Explorer and a numeric value of -65536 in Firefox. The numeric value returned by IE can be reverted to a useful hexadecimal value with ("#" + obj.fill.color.toString(16)) but that returned by Firefox is not so straightforward. For instance, an assigned Yellow value returns 4294967040 in IE but -256 in FF. Is there a better way to retrieve a useful color value ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can you tell if an object implements an interface through reflection?

• SQL Server SSIS and SSMS "Backup Wizard" Integration needed

  I created a Backup plan using the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. It created an SSIS package for me but the package didn't delete files older than, say, 3 days. So I exported that package from MSDB, added a Script task to it (to do what I needed), and imported it back into MSDB. I can open the new package under SSMS and everything looked good ... until I double-clicked the Script task. That task is simply not supported under the SSMS Maintenance Wizard. Goin in and out of that task under SSMS gave me the following errors: "Microsoft Visual Studio Macros: The operation could not be compelted. Call was rejected by callee.". Or the ever popular "cannot show the editor for this task'. I was asked to "Wait for Completion& ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent Roles

  I have a domain account that is assigned the the SQLAgentOperator, SQLAgentReader, and SQLAgentUser roles. That domain account is able to create a job and delete the job. But, it is unable to edit the job. If I create a SQL Login with these same permissions, it is able to edit the job. What am I missing We were looking forward to implementing these new built-in security roles because we had to use our own security roles to give us similar functionality in SQL 2000 but it doesn't seem to be working properly in 2005.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Virtualized Paging WrapPanel

  I'm building an application that dynamically builds a document with interactive content. For the most part it is used to read and study, but also can be clicked to bookmark certain passages, etc. I have originally implemented this using a dynamic FlowDocument and a FlowDocumentReader. This worked okay with small documents, but had performance problems with large 25+ page documents because of all of the UI that was created on the fly. I am rewriting the document portion so that it only generates a page of content at a time using a wrappanel to flow the content vertically in several columns. This is proving difficult because I can't seem to figure out how many passages to display for the given window size. If there are more than will ...Show All
