• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mouse-less ListBox - keystroke is being eaten

  I have a very simple scene - A single ListBox control with 5 items added. I want the first item selected upon initialization, and to allow the user to use arrow controls to scroll through the list. After initialization, I am doing the following: MenuListBox.SelectedIndex = 0; MenuListBox.ScrollIntoView(MenuListBox.SelectedItem); MenuListBox.Focus() So this successfully sets the the first item as selected, however, it takes two user actions to select the next ListBoxItem (i.e., you have to hit the down arrow twice. Which is really counter-intuitive. I am not sure who is consuming the first down arrow event, but my guess is that it is moving the focus to the first ListBoxItem (which I guess I actually want to have focus initially). ...Show All

• Visual Studio "Unable to start debugging" error on x64

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 (SP1 beta) on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition. If I create a new project (Console or Windows application) and then press F5 I get an error dialog stating: Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. Either the applicaiotn has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failed. This happens with the active solution platform set to either "Any CPU" or to "x64". If I change the active solution platform to "x86" everything works fine. Does anyone know what might be causing this problem and how to fix it Thanks, John. Thanks for the help - great to hear this will be fixed in the final SP1. In addition to specifying the start pag ...Show All

• Windows Forms ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine() - are there more options?

  Hi, It seems to me that the options available for drawing lines with ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine() are quite few (none really) - is there any way I can change the line that is drawn I would like to have a punctured line (like te one Excel uses when resizing rows and columns). Thanks for your help, Cheers, Mikael Not really. ControlPaint.DrawReveribleLine() uses a special trick that was popular way back in the days of Windows 3.0. It draws a line with SetROP2(R2_XORPEN) . That lets it erase the previous line drawn by simply drawing it again rather than completely refresing the image. Speed was the concern back then when video adapters were slow. That's not (really) the problem anymore, just draw your line using t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Stupid problem with a Label in a statusStrip

  Hi, i have a label and a progress bar in a statuStrip in my RSS Reader application. I want that a message like "Update in progress" is displayed in the label during the update of the RSS feeds. So, before i start the update, i simply set: statusLabel.Text="Update in progres..." and, when the update is complete, i do: statusLabel.Text="Done". The problem is the message don't appear! I've tried to change the label text in other parts of the application, and it works. I've tried also to change the message "Done" with something else, and it displays it. But there is nothing to do, when i press the refresh button of my application, the label text still remains "Done". What can i do The progress bar near the label works perfectly too! The crazy ...Show All

• SQL Server Pre-Execute Phase

  What happens during the pre-execute phase Is there anything I can do to optimize it's execution I have a package that takes data from 2 SQL Server sources, unions them, and writes to a sql table. The pre-execute takes 20 minutes, and the execution takes 45 seconds. Thanks BobP This is happening on several packages:  1.  The example above takes 2 sql server source, with queries returning ~5,000 rows each, unioning them and writing them to a sql table, with no lookups.  The pre-execute takes 20 minutes. 2. Every once in a while, a job that I have that runs every night, will freeze on the pre-execute.  No errors, the job appears to be still running, but it is not doing anything, no processor act ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't set the owner to the current login

  I'm using express edition, compatibility set to 2005. I'm logged in as DOMAIN\user , using windows authentication. When I try to set the owner to this login, I get a "login does not exist on the server" error. Setting the owner to sa works fine. Any fix to this problem Also - can I just work with the owner set to sa or can this cause problems in the future Thanks. Buck, Thank you for trying to help. The diagrams work fine - but the thing is that I have to set the owner to sa in order to work with them. The problem is that although I am logged in as DOMAIN\user , the server claims there is no such login when I try to set the database owner to that login. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Solution to Finding Skin Weight Indexes

  DELETED BECAUSE BETTER SOLUTION WAS FOUND Ok, I got vertex blending working.  Their indexing system is quite simple - int curIndex = 0; private void GetBoneIndices( NodeContent root) {     if (root.Name != null )         boneIndices.Add(root.Name, curIndex);     curIndex++;     foreach ( NodeContent c in root.Children)         GetBoneIndices(c); } ^^ that creates a bone-name/bone-index dictionary.  Its nothing but a simple preorder traversal (just like you said). I deleted my hack above so as to not mislead people into a more difficult solution. Sometimes I overlook ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can i send pictures to my device?

  Hi everybody I have just started to write a gadget(I'm a newbee), I already know how to send glance content, also i know how to send XML pages, the only think im missing is how to send pictures. can someone can share a piece of code as a reference sample for me I tried the following: Scf .Img(5, ScfAlign .Center, ScfImageFit .Auto, "Gato.jpg" ) but the only thing displayed on my device is a "X" mark. any help would be appreciated. Rene I have not used the Managed library yet but here is my guess: The Scf.Img tag merely specifies a reference from a content page to an image. The image itself is a seperate page but instead of being made up of XML it is a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. External Tools

  As we've heard Microsoft have been in touch with garage games to get torque on XNA. Have they been in touch with any other devs or will they be developing other in house tools for game creation Maybe they should speak to the Unity guys who are making great indi game tools for the Mac. http://unity3d.com/unity/index.html Unity for Windows on Xna would be awsome. Thanks for the info, I'm still a little stuck though. None of the plugins from that link support XSI. The SDK seems interesting but don't have time for it. I installed the converter and it seems like it would be usefull but XSI does not export any of the formats that the converter inputs. .Obj maybe but the export .obj option in XSI is greyed out. ...Show All
