• Visual Studio Modifying fonts in the code view

  Hello, I am currently about to start a study of fisheye view visualization of source code. For this, in a developed add-in for VS2005, I need to be able to change the fonts of individual lines in the code view of VS2005 - is there any way to achieve this I.e. I need to be able to set font size individually for each line. As far as I can see from the documentation this is not possible - only changing the colors and styles can be done - is this correct If so - is it possible to take advantage of VS2005's code model (i.e. the TextSelections, points, CodeElements, etc.) in a custom build code view Best regards, Thomas Rene Sidor University of Copenhagen, Denmark Hi Thomas, Unfortunately, this is not po ...Show All

• Visual C# Copy and paste data between 2 notepads in C#

  Hi All, I need to open 2 notepads programatically. If I copy data from one notepad, and try to paste it in the next notepad, it should not get pasted. Can anyone suggest me a solution for carrying out the above one. I'm working in an e-publishing concern. Here we process a lot of 3b2 files. When we start a 3B2 application, scripts are generated. These scripts generate data. This data is copied from one file to another file. But the data should be unique for each file. Since people are copying and pasting this data, we encounter certain problems. So to overcome this problem, we need to find a solution. Can u suggest some other solution for this problem Thanks! ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies make a dropdownlist column in add new list item form postaback to serv

  Is it possible that when a user is trying to create a new list item in the add new list item form. Whenever he selects a different value in the content type column, I need to post back to the server. The purpose of this is that I need to modify the  value field programmatically according to what value the user selects in the content type column. Thank you. I'm not sure which 'description field' you mean, but I believe one possible way to do this is to create a custom edit form for each content type you are interested in. There is a concept of a default template for rendering fields and you can extend this, by adding field controls for existing fields, which will override the defaults. Therefore, you should be able to eith ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question about 'EffectParameter' class

  Given that the EffectParameter class is sealed I need to ask: any chance for future versions to take advantage of generics for methods like SetValue and GetValue I 'm not meaning to create a new 'EffectParameter<T>' class (what'd make it difficult for the 'EffectParameterCollection' class), but something like: GetValue<T>() or GetValue<T>(T dummy) -the latter to avoid the use of the static <T> when calling the method, instead of GetValueVector3() and so on (ditto for the methods that return an array). SetValue<T>(T value) , instead of overloading SetValue(...). That way it could be easier -for us- to implement a sort of "fx parameter mapping" technique as well as an 'EffectParameterHan ...Show All

• .NET Development DateTime compare difference

  Hi Everyone. I have two middle tiers that use their DateTime.UtcNow to update a synchronization object in memory and in a db. Even if the machines are a bit off in their internal times, i need to make sure that i'm comparing consistent datetimes. Seems to me that: (1) i need to fetch one consistent UTC time from somewhere that is machine time agnostic (2) when i compare the times, that i compare with a tolerance, of say 3 minutes (allowing the machines to be 3 minutes apart, either way...earlier or later). How could i do #1 and #2 For #2, i was doing this: if ( DateTime.Compare( memory.LastModifiedTime, database.LastModifiedTime) < 0 ) How do i do this with a tolerance of 3 minutes (1) You should e ...Show All

Peca55 wrote: Hmm.. checked sleep time and found that independent of sleep time the real sleep time is 64 micro seconds shorter! This should be take account, if comparing time values. This is what should be assured by Microsoft. We the programmers suppose that if we put 1000 milli seconds as Parameter it must work the same way. Second thing if there is a difference of 64 Micro Seconds then in many situations it should not Mater but it depends on the sitation where you need Precision or you have some cushion.
