• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to measure control using particular template without applying it?

  Hi all. I have control instance with some template applied. Then I need to measure this control with other template _without_ applying it. I need something like "predict" control's size with other template without changing current visual appearance of the control. Is it possible SerialSeb, Sorry for my messy explanations :) Now I dont have problems with contol copying anymore because I found the solution. All you need to measure control with alternate template is to save current template, then set a new one, and then measure control; after all you should set old template back. During this process the control doesnt change its visual appearance. So it's happened to be very simple. The code look ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions help, help me rhonda or anybody

  axmediaplayer1.url = my.settings.song1 song 1 is bound to textbox1 textbox1.text = c:\windows\media\somefile.mp3 this works fine............question is how can I make it so the user only has to type in the name of the song to the textbox.....instead of the full path bearing in mind there are100 textboxes thanks cheyenne     but it is not visible at all. Also I would recommend the you use the MS contol for WMP and not the axform of the control. if you go to TOOLs | Choose toolbox items and add the WMP control to your project, I think you will find this much better in the long run as ran as interfacing goes.   Please remember that I am on Vista and not XP.... a well designed program ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL: deleting duplicate entries (needed for primary key)

  Hello, I need help on the follwing problem. I want to set a primary key (columns name, surname) for an existing table. The problem is that there are some (ca 300 of 40000) "wrong" entries: some name, surname combinations are used more than once. Therefore setting a primary key fails. I can remove all wrong entries by going through all of them and checking for each if there is another entrie using the same name and surname, but this is much to slow, because we're working very often with such corrupt datatables. So I tried the follwing SQL statement: DELETE * FROM tPerson AS tA WHERE ( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tPerson AS tB WHERE tA.Name=tB.Name AND tA.Surname=tB.Surname ) <= 2 This is much faster. Sorrily, it not only deletes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Threads names

  Hello, i am developping a multi threaded app using Thread class. When ever i do Thread th = new Thread(); i do th.name = "blabla"; My qestion is why don't we see the thread name in the output window when the thread is exited instead of the ID. The thread 0x12e0 has exited with code 0 (0x0). Thats something we can see. Though, if i add a breakpoint on the line: th.name = "blabla"; and then do F10 once and then F5. When ever the thread is exited, i will see: The thread 'MyThreadName' (0xdb4) has exited with code 0 (0x0). Why is this Would there be a way to always see the threads names when they are exited, even if i am not currently debugging or breaking into the code. Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is base.Draw(gameTime); Used for?

  Just as the question says, what exactly is gameTime It can be used for whatever your heart desires. You can use it to determine the FPS, limit how often a portion of your code updates or draws, display a countdown timer or running timer in general. You don't really do any setting for it. It's information being passed in to the function. So it's for accessing information about how much time has elapsed since the last Update/Draw and how much time has elapsed in the game. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Floating Toolbars

  I know it has been asked before, but it's been a while, so I figured I'd check again. Has anyone come up with a good way to get floating toolbars working I've got the 4 panels on the top, bottom, left, and right, but I'm having a real *** of a time trying to get the toolbars to actually float. Obviously, you have to add the ToolStrip to its own ToolStripPanel. But that is where it becomes really, really awful to code. The ToolStripPanel must be contained in the same form as the 4 base panels, or else you can't drag it from one to the other. So you can put the new panel in Controls of the main form. But if you do that, it runs the risk of running into other controls, so that doesn't work. If you put it in its own form, you can't drag it i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions forum comparisation..

  Hello, I'm sure I'm in the wrong forum with this thread, but that's only because I want some attention of you 'VB' people at the moment.

In this forum, I see 'top posters' with about 120 posts a month Now I'm not sure about this one, but aren't here some coders who also know some VC++ that could sometimes have a look at the VC++ forum to see if they can't help I'm asking this because I posted a question a couple of days before, and whereas I would have had about 10 reply's in this forum, I don't even have 1 in the VC++ forum..
