• Visual Basic How to not get combobox SelectedIndexChanged be executed on load

  Hello, As what the subject line is.... What is the method to not allow combobox SelectedIndexChanged to be executed on load... and only make it to be executed when a "USER" changes the selection value. Thanks well anything can go wrong during that but should be kept as an absolute last resort :-) I am sure there is a better way of finding out why the developer (original poster) needs to alter the selected index at start up of the application (onload)   I could post some examples but best not until we find out whats happening during onload, with some code :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help disabling Just-In-Debugging

  I installed .net 2.0 yesterday and now Just-In-Time Debugging has taken over my apps I work on outside of VS.net. I have followed all steps I have found to disable JIT with no results. So then I uninstalled 2.0 and reverted back to 1.1. Still, the JIT dialogue pops up. The pages I am working on are classic asp pages and the last thing I need is these JIT popups. I have been unable to find any information beyond the checkboxes in VS.net. Could anyone shed some light on this If it matters, I am on XP Pro and run VS.Net 2003. Thanks. Well, we got through four hours today with MS Support and still no solution. We did check the registry values you reference. They are: Auto = 1 Debugger = "C:\W ...Show All

• Visual C++ OleDbCommand needs reference to connection?

  I have created an OleDbConnection object in a function using OleDbConnection connection; instead of using a reference like OleDbConnection^ connection = gcnew OleDbConnection(); because I want it disposed of as soon as it goes out of scope (the function ends). When I create an OleDbCommand object or reference and try to insert my connection, I am informed that command requires a reference to the connection object and wont accept the object itself in the parameter list. How can I go about using the objective connection with a command Thanks :-) These things should work much like in the native world (and some or at least me would prefer the managed world would follow the existing rules even more closely) ...Show All

• Windows Forms create a "masterpage" in winforms

  Hi, When you create a website you can use masterpages with contentpanes. Now I want to create that on a winform application. So let us say that you've got on the left and top a navigationpane and that the contentpanes are the forms. Is this possible Grtz Annihil8 Hi Annihil8 I'm not sure if this is what you're after but it may serve as a nice starting point. Try creating just a basic form with navigationpanes setting on panels on the top and left. Once you have the form exactly as you like it you can save it as your own master form and then create new forms which inherit from it using visual inheritance. It won't provide any automatic navigation capabilities but it should help to give you a ...Show All

• SQL Server Dimension design question

  Hi, what is the best practice for design of large dimension, such as Order In my scenario users want to analyze order intake using order status, issuer name and couple of other attributes, possibly even order number. We use fact dimension to accomplish that. Everything works, but I'm a bit concerned about performance. There are more than 10mil members in that dimension (and there is also invoicing dim as well, about the same size). Is this the best design for this scenario What if I create separate dimensions Issuer, Order Status ... and link them directly to the fact Will the performance (though it's not bad now, I'm just thinking ahead) improve, and, most importantly, WHY :) Thanks.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I load a 3d mesh (.x file)?

  How do I load a .x mesh into my scene The space game seems to use its own format (which it names .swm), and there's nothing in the help. I've been scanning through through the classes in the Framework namespace, but I can't see anything obvious! Is .x the recommended format for objects like this (If not, I change my question to be about the recommended format :D) If anyone knows anywhere that has some nice .x meshes I can play with, that'd be cool too. The only one I have lying around is a chair, and that's going to look a bit funny running around my game :D The Content Manager is part of the framework so it exsists in the Beta. However all the stuff you need to get you data in the Model format is n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project to TFS sync problem

  I have a TFS project that I have synced with MS Project. I have noticed that some of my tasks in Project seem to have their start dates "fixed" at the project start date.
