• SQL Server FixedHeader JavaScript Bug?

  Hi I have a report with a table containing 26 columns, the tableheader is fixed when scrolling (nice) and I have set the leftmost column to FixedHeader. It is possible via paramters for the user to select which columns that should be visible.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Developing Messenger bot

  Hi. I'm developing Messenger bot. It will be based on .NET 2.0 and be using DotMSN library to handle messenger protocol. I'm trying to enable activities handling in this bot. Right now I'm able to get data from activity sent using SendData method of Channel. But I need to send data to activity client from my bot.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vista install problems

  XNA won't install on Vista RC 1 5736. I'll try on a daily build tomorrow in the office. Are you going to support Vista in December SiW wrote: Anyway, installing the VC# SP1 beta does indeed allow me to install GSE beta 2, so I'm satisfied. For now ;) It's _possible_ to install XNA GSE 2 on Vista. Some people, like yourself, have been successful. Personally, I've found that running the installer with elevated (Administrator) permissions will yield a successful install most of the time. Your mileage may vary. The key point here it: It's an _unsupported_ configuration (and it's likely it will be unsupported at the 1.0 release timeframe as well ). The blocking problem isn't with the XNA produc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Object and Property Descriptions

  I am making a managed dll in C++ to use in later projects for C++, VB, and C#. When ever you click on properties of MS user controls in the design portion IDE it tells you what that property is, ect. I would like to know how describe properties in the same manner. Also when you look at an object in the object browser it gives you a summary; I would also like to know how to define these summaries in C++. Thanks in advance for any help Maybe VCE doesn't support it. Check your build log, my last line reads: "Creating command line xdcmake.exe /blabla". ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Add EffectAnnotation.GetValue() Method.

  I have posted the following suggestion in the XNA feedback. Please bump it if you agree. The EffectAnnotation class only contains Type specific GetValue methods, and it exposes NO WAY to tell what type an annotation is. Furthermore, the GetValue methods throw an exception if you call them, and they contain a different type of data. Add the following members to EffectAnnotation please to solve this problem. // gets the value of this annotation as an object. public object GetValue(); // gets the type of value this annotation contains. public Type ValueType; Thanks for the reply. Any answer on passing Matrices with the "ref" keyword Please please please make the XNA Math library as fast as the ...Show All

• .NET Development Showing Console from Service

  Hello All, I have an Console Application that i converted into a service. Somehow i want the service to show logging on Console. Is this possible. Well there is no console when the process is running as a Service you could of course create your own console - but one is not provided for you by default. in addition, the service needs to be configured to be able to interact with the desktop - otherwise even if it creates a console no one actually sees it. So in short, while this is theorically possible you need to consider a possible alternative - perhaps logging to a file instead of to the console ...Show All
