• .NET Development tcp/ip problems

  Hi, need some help ut it needs to be in simpe terms as I only have very basic computer knowledge. My friend has a lap top which is connected to the net via broadband and a wieless router.

  I'm trying to create a dice rolling program for 6 sided dice. It has a textbox, a button, and a label. what I would like to do with it is put a number in the textbox, click the button, and have the label display that many results. For example, I put 3 into the text box. The program runs the randomizer and comes up with 3, 1, & 6. I would like the label to display 3, 1, 6. Here is my code.

  I used to code in pascal, cobol, assembly, basic, etc, but not C. From: Your First Game: Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express in 2D following along and doing the first build, I get the error above. I did not think I was calling the 3d engine only the 2d. I cannot find any help on the error, where to look, etc, except what is in the error window when you cursor over it.

• Windows Networking Development Trying to use Winsock control in Microsoft Access Database Form

  I'm trying to create a telnet session within my microsoft access form. I included the microsoft winsocket control and some text boxes to place the recieved data. The problem I'm having is I recieve data but it is all scrambled like yt%yy and it doesn't take any of my data I'm entering.

• Visual Basic Problem with foreign key update

  Hello everyone, I am having trouble with a table I am trying to update. The table contains information about a client's cases, so it has a foreign key to the CLIENT.CLIENTID column. However, when a new record is created, the CASE.CLIENTID column is always blank. Note: I am using databound textboxes to show this information. I certainly don't want a databound textbox where the user has to manually enter the CLIENTID value for this particular case. So there must be a way to, before the commiting the new row to the list, setting this columns value, manually. After trying various ways to reference the new row's CLIENTID column, including using the BindingSource.AddingNew event, and trying to set the value manually into Bindingsource.Cu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FROZEN rule behaviour

  When the FROZEN rule is applied to a field, it is still possible to select other values, but you can not save them. An error message "The value for field "foo" must be empty or the same as the original value" is displayed. Why is it still allowed to select other values If you do select another value, you will have to look in the history to find the original value before you can save any other modifications. The UI could be smart and not let users change values. But the logic to determine whether to disable selection could be complicated because that rule could change based on transitions and on other field changes and doing that determination ahead of time could get tricky and I believe ...Show All

• SQL Server Editing ModelGenerationRules.smgl

  Hi, I need to modify the ModelGenerationRules.smgl file to increase the mandatory filter setting of 5000 records. This is much too small for our database. I know where the file is but I need to know how to make the change. Does anyone know how to change this Thanks BB I wound't recommend changing that file, but it is possible. There are multiple instances of the file, one is in Visual Studio's PrivateAssemblies folder, it is for Model Designer. Others are in ReportingServices\ReportServer folder of every instance of Report Server, they are for server-side model generation. You can open the file in any xml editor, for example, Visual Studio. The limit must be changed in 2 rules ($MarkLargeListsRuleName and $MarkVeryLar ...Show All

  I have a form from which I'm calling a thread. I want to exit the form when the thread is done. How can I do this Can this be done...

• Visual Basic Moving projects

  Hi there, This might be a really stupid question but I'm having trouble saving VB.NET projects in other locations as backup. What I want to do is save the project somewhere (eg memory stick) so that if something bad happens I've got a copy somewhere. However, when I choose save as a message box pops up stating that the project must be saved in the original location. I can save the forms and module elsewhere individually. Thats fine for this project as there are only a few things in it but what about larger projects I can save the solution elsewhere but then it can't find the project because it's expecting it in the original location. What I need to know is, is there a way to save the project, taking the forms with it, in another l ...Show All

• Visual Basic Vista and the VS2005 Configuration Manager?

  I know this is going to sound crazy but....... I just installed RTM VS2005 Team Suite on a new RTM installation of Vista and in installed one security update from Ms. However, there is no sign of build configuration selection on my Build menu. It's just not there. And yes, I have checked the box in tools options - show all choices. What is going on The default which shipped with VS2005 was not to show configurations (regardless of OS) -- there are reasons for this, mostly to do with providing a F5 vs. Build experience similar to that of VB6. If you open a project that had modified configurations in it, then I believe we do show it for that project, which would account for the disparity you're seeing. So, I'm reas ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) "Loading" Support

  Does anyone know of a good location for an example of how to add a "Loading..." sort of support to WPF/E My assuption is that some small XAML is loaded to do the "Loading" screen, then another XAML object is loaded via AJAX or XmlRequest to do the loading of a larger amount of XAML or code. Ideas WPF/E Pad does this. It shows the main UI which is fairly small from a download perspective and then use XMLHTTP to download additional XAML. A textblock updates the user of which files is being downloaded and is hidden after the last file has been downloaded See it here . Source is here . ...Show All
