Please help me. many thanks I will repeat the second question. In this process(waiting response from manager), will it create a problem.

• Visual Studio CVS and Source Control Plug-Ins

  Hey all, I have been using a CVS-NT server installed on a Windows Server 2003 box for source control. I was also using the PuskOK CVS-SCC proxy plug in (from www.pushok.com ) to access the repository from the IDE on a networked WinXP machine, and access the repository using sspi and windows authentication. It worked well under VS2003. I have not made any changes (indeed, it still works well under VS2003), but VS2005 Team System does not remember that I am using the PushOK proxy when I restart the IDE, it will not bind back to the CVS repository for source control when I open the project from my local checked out version, it will not check out files from the repository when I edit them, and it does not show edited files as checked ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Internet and network gaming

  Im still green as far as programmers go. I need to know, is there a way to get two copies of my game to communicate over a network using only C# and XNA or am I looking at integrating it with a different language. Also for internet gaming, will I need to set up a server for my game or is there somewhere I can subscribe to (or ultimately better "FREE") where I can set up a chatroom and main access point for those who want to play my game. I also want to keep gamefiles on a central site if possible, kinda like Blizzard does with Diablo II, in order to cut down on cheating. Lastly covering cheating itself, does anyone have any hints on how I can protect the internals of the game so people cant hack it (imposible I know) but ...Show All

• Visual C# Allow only one instance of an application

  Is there a way to only allow one instance of an application to run The current application is rather large and it takes a moment for the splash page to show. I would like to ignore all attempts to open the application while its loading so that only one instance can be running at a time. excellent, glad I could help. Actually edited the post an hour later to make it better, no idea what I was thinking of in the first post but glad that its working for you - the "new and improved" approach at least ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing Issues

  Hello, I’ve been having this issue for a couple of weeks now and have tried countless ways to find a work around without much luck. Long story short, I’m writing an application with Visual Studio 2005 Professional using J#, the application has a user enter data such as name, address, phone, etc and then a Submit Button. I want to print a form with this data, and I have created a separate form that gets populated with this information and is sized to fit an 81/2 x 11 piece of paper. The print solutions that I’ve found in the Help section and on these forums have a lot of flaws for what I’m trying to accomplish. The answer I’ve found is to do the screen capture – and that works some times, the problem is, the form doesn’t comple ...Show All

• SQL Server Microsoft report builder is a very BAD product

  This product can't make a report selectin measures from more then on cube at the same time crossed by to shared dimensions, it's a shame. Please don't say you have a web base ad-hoc query if you can’t even do same basic stuff like this. So may be you would use a view with UNION strategy or a (select subquery) as Column strategy instead I am sure you can do it. No matter what. I did lot of these apparently impossible to merge things, there is always a way around, it just take more from the developer. Philippe ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem: Can a Form == a Control??

  This is quite an interesting problem (well I think so, but then again, I am a bit strange). I have a .NET 2.0 application that consists of a number of panels that can be dragged around and docked - not unlike the Visual Studio IDE in fact. In these panels I can put any control I care to choose. All well so far. Now then. I have another .NET 2.0 application which fulfils some functional need (as applications tend to do) but it was a bit of a nuisance that it was a separate app. I wanted it to be included as part of my aformentioned panel app. So, after having a look at the object hierarchy for Form, I noticed that it derives from Control. "Yipee!" says I, theoretically I can drop an instance of this entire app as a Contro ...Show All
