• Visual C# DbCommand Property

  Hi, I want to create a property that will handle SqlCommand and OleDbCommand values. for that I defined this propery: public DbCommand DbCmdProperty { set { DbCmd = value ; } get { return DbCmd; } } how can I get a "Name" value in the Properties Window on the Designer, that will tell me if I'm working with a SqlCommand or OleDbCommand (Hoped I succeeded to describe my problom correctly...) This is problematic for a number of reasons. You are trying to add a property to an existing class (This can be done, but it's probably more work than you want to do (and definitely more work than I want to explain)) You want a design-time property to view ...Show All

• Visual J# java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(rawOffset) does not return the availableIDs.

  I am using .NET Framework 2.0. API Comments on MSDN: TimeZone.getAvailableIDs (int) Gets an array of all the valid IDs for all time zones around the world that have the given offset from UTC. By calling: string[] zones = java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(8); The returned zones is empty. However, if we check the list of timezones returned by call java.util.TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(), the timezone CTT is with rawOffset equals to 8.

• Visual Studio Programmatically editing keyboard maps

  Hello, I'd like the next version of my product to create an alternate keyboard map (as seen in Tools|Options|Keyboard), make it the default, and edit some of its bindings. I haven't found any way to do this. I've also had a look at the registry (both the system and the user portion), and it seems keyboard maps are not stored there.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading texture from a stream

  Hi, im trying to find out if there is a way to read a texture from a stream, im reading from a large file which holds loads of texture files (DXT1 and DXT3 mainly), all the information about the texture is given and then you are given the texture data. So far i have been reading the data using a binary reader and unpacking the colors into A8R8G8B8 format to use when rendering. My question is since i know all the texture info is it possible to read the texture and use it in it's original format without the overhead of converting Thanks for any help. With your own “custom” texture format things are a little bit more complex. You first need to create the texture with the necessary siz ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Forms , XAML , Events

  Hi Just to get started I created an new WPF project. . I want to add an event to an button I drop to the form (Designer shows me it is the XAML file) The button is shown in the designer and the code in the XAML is generated. But first tehres no context menue on any Form or its components. So I show it manually via the VS Menu. But there no events From one point of view this is correct because XAML is only an "Designer Format" but so how can I create an Click event to the button In the Code file theres no reference to the button of the form.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding WCF service as web reference creates additional parameters on methods

  Ive created a WCF service that works correctly when I create a proxy using svcutil. If i add the service as a web reference, additional parameters are added to the methods available through the service. For example, i have a method GetEntity(int entityId, bool FullObject), however when it is made available through the webservice its signiture is GetEntity(int entityId, bool entityIdSpecified , bool FullObject, bool FullObjectSpecified ). If i sent that additional parameters to true, the call still works and returns the expected result, but i was wondering why these params are added, and can i avoid the need to specify them Thanks WCF uses svcutil.exe tool to create proxy, while VS2005 uses "Add web ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot call set cookies because my cookie list contains commas

  Is there a way to assign a keyboard short cut to a tab page The following: TabPage.Text = "&My Page"; outputs as a literal string, instead of making it a keyboard short cut.

• Visual Basic How to call a memory release ?

  Hi, I am currently building a VB.Net Application that uses Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The problem is that the amount of memory used while the process is running always keeps growing. And I am sure that Acrobat is responsible for that. So I would like to know how to call a memory release in VB.Net. thanks for helping. Alex I tested the command : System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject And it finally works, Acrobat keeps taking a lot of memory space, sometimes more than 200megs for a 4meg document but when I close the document and release the COM object it gets a little smaller. Lets just say that to run my application, users will need at least 1024 meg RAM for optimal performance :-) Thanks again f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions RichTextBox: Change Bold, Italic, Size etc. in a selection

  I want to create a text editor using a RichTextBox and the user should be allowed to make parts of the text bold, italic, change font face and size and so on. The problem is: How can I change these properties in a selected piece of text without affecting the other properties Let's say the user typed in: This sentence has both bold and italic words in it. Now let's say the user selects the part " both bold and italic words " and clicks on the button for bold which in this case should change the selection to bold. I cannot use: RichTextBox1.SelectionFont.Bold = True as it is read-only, and I cannot use: RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold) either, because the se ...Show All
