• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vista Compatibility

  Looking for any hints on when a Vista version will be released. (Note that I'm in the middle of installing the same version as everyone else is right now, but the web site says it won't be out for a bit). I really don't want to put a third OS on my system just so I can run xna express. (I've already got Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit on here - starting to get crowded) Dan The compatibility issues are due to VS compatibility so if you get VS SP1 and the VS Vista patch (in beta) then a lot of us are sucessfully running on Vista. The only problem I am seeing is the the VS Version selector app (which is what is run when you open a .sln file) doesn't work at all and I am having to open VS and ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Workaround.

  hey guys, I need help from you guys. Just a few questions if these can be dealt with. 1. Is it possible to use click once without its backward compatibility I mean would want the newly published files(all files) overwrite the old ones. Would it be possible 2. Just wanna hear your ideas on this guys. For example, we have multiple servers running. Considering a multinational compay that has employees on North America, Asia and Europe. Each continent is being represented by a server. The purpose of which is that every time theres an update, those employees from europe would just connect to the server on europe and so is USA and Asia with their assigned servers respectively. Would it be possible for ClickOnce to deploy to multiple servers ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Volume - Vibrate - Off Setting

  I have a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Phone. On the top menu bar there is an icon of a speaker. When I tap it it shows a volume slider control with 3 radio buttons below it.

I would like an API that will work on any model phone if that is possible. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Highlight row in DataGridView when mouse hovers over a row

  I've seen many third-party components do this. In a DataGridView, how do I programmatically (using C#) change the row's background to yellow, but only the row the mouse is hovering over.

How do i get a folder version of the openfiledialog that is so useful i want to select a folder to be set as default in one of my small programs, but all i can do atm is use openfiledialog to save a file, get the address, then delete the file, which is very long winded, and doesn't look good for the user. how can i get a directory viewer that lets the user just select a directory Thanks for your help.

• SQL Server Development Issues with SSIS

  We have been facing some delevelopment issues with SSIS. These are as follows: We want to execute some tasks in a particular package depending on a condition. Example: If record count is more than 0 then go to next task else stop the package. We tried to write a script, in which we evaluate the value of the variable. This variable is populated with the record count value. We cannot find any particular function which can exit the package successfully. We can fail the Task, but that means the package is failed. wo dont want to fail the package. In short we want to conditionally execute some tasks in a package. Something like an "If container" similar to "For container". We have one main package from which we exec ...Show All
