• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to determine resulting position/orientation of the shown popup?

  Hi all. I am creating menu template and I want the top level menu item popup to look as one thing with menu item header (without horizontal line between them, like in tab control's selected tab). I have a set of issues related to it, but the main of them is how to determine final position of the popup. You know, when the Placement property of the Popup is set to "Bottom", for example, the popup may appear at "Top" position depending on screen bounds and the size of popup (if there is no screen place for popup at the bottom). It is very interesting to me how to tell what position has been selected, because depending on that I should position my "menu continous header effect" geometry at the top or bottom of ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need help exporting VB.Net variables/data to VBA macro

  Hi I'm using VBA AutoCAD for drawing, but instead of defining parameters in VBA, I would like to take those parameters from VB.Net codes.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Get "NextState" in Invoke event

  In a state, there are several EventDrivenActivities, in each EventDrivenActivity, there is a HandleExternalEventActivity and a SetStateActivity, for the HandleExternalEventActivity, there is a corresponding Invoked EventHandler, I want to do something in it, and the first thing I want to get is the TargetStateName of the SetStateActivity in the same EventDrivenActivity just below the HandleExternalEventActivity. I'm not sure if this is what you're really looking for, but you might be able to use the StateMachineWorkflowInstance class to get what you want. This class is used to provide additional runtime information for a running state machine workflow instance. You create a StateMachineWorkflowInstan ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "Use of unassigned local variable" error on Xbox360 but not Windows

  Anyone know why the compiler produces an error when the following code is compiled in an Xb0x360 project but not when it is compiled on a Windows project public void GetTileRect( int tileX, int tileY, out Rectangle tileRect) { Rectangle myRect; myRect.X = tileX * tileWidth; myRect.Y = tileY * tileHeight; myRect.Width = tileWidth; myRect.Height = tileHeight; tileRect = myRect; } I get a "Use of unassigned local variable 'myRect'" when assigning it to tileRect.

• SQL Server control flow of execution of statement

  is there a way to check to see if the previous sql statement has completely executed before executing the next statement I have a stored procedure that basically has several insert statements. At the end of the insert statements I call bcp to write the table to a text file. The first insert will write a header record into the table. Then it will insert a bunch of records that are selected from other tables and then lastly will write the footer record. My dilemna is that for some reason the first insert of the header record isn't actually happening until the middle of the second set of inserts where it inserts several records from another table. so basically my file ends up looking like this payment record payment record payment r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Lets talk about rendering performance

  Hello. Our company distributes a vertical market accounting app which we've migrated from Crystal Reports to the WinForms ReportViewer. Our installed base is around 6,000 end users. We've found the viewer to be a solid product and we're pleased with the functionality and stability. That said, we may be forced to abandon reporting services for some applications due to performance issues. As an example, we have a report that processes 10,000 rows and perhaps 20 columns. On a 3 GHz machine with 2GB RAM, it takes 40 seconds to render the report (not counting query time). In addition, ReportViewer consumes approx 400MB of memory for this process (after garbage collection). These results won't cut it when a user is waiting for real-time outpu ...Show All
