  Hi! i have a problem with viewing images in such contorls as DataList, GridView or FormView. I create new SqlDataSource, connect to my database, then I create DataList control and choose this DataSource in it. Then I edit DataList's item template and set the Image componet.

• Software Development for Windows Vista PC games + 8800GTX + Vista compatibility? (need help ASAP actually)

  I need to get a new computer within the next few months, and I am rather concerned that I will not be able to play certain games decently (if at all!) with the nVidia 8800GTX and Vista that I plan on getting with it (Alienware). As a result I've been looking on the net for places where I can get a sense at how well the two of these work together after the first official drivers have been released for the 8800GTX for Vista. In particular, I am hoping to hear from you guys that you all have experience playing games such as (ones I play) Dawn of War, Civilization 4, City of Heroes/City of Villains, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2, and Unreal 2: XMP (that one's a bit obscure though). At least as far as Dawn of War is concerned, I heard ...Show All

• .NET Development what is shim?

  This term is new to me. What does it mean Thanks It is a generic term for any piece of code, usually in a DLL, that acts as an intermediary between two incompatible systems. A typical use for a shim is to make an unmanaged DLL usable to a .NET program. It would present a managed class interface to the .NET project and translate managed method calls to native method calls, marshaling the method arguments as needed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Syntax error when using Online MSDN

  Hi, I have a problem with the Visual Studio 2005 help. Every page that loads i get a "line 1 syntax error" message box. It is DRIVING ME INSANE! I have tried to repair of the Document Explorer tool. I have looked for updates or KB articles and i can't find anything. I have tried turning off IE debugging but just the shape of the message box changes (and it doesn't ask me to debug), and the syntax error moves to line 2. A sample source for the page starts with XML so i thought that might be the cause but I am running the latest updates. Has anyone else had this problem Thanks in advance for any tips, Nathan Update: You can actually prevent the main IE6 application from popping up an error when v ...Show All

Recently I had gone through some contents on Windows Filtering Platform (WFP), WFP provides you with the power to participate in the filtering that takes place at all layers in the networking stack. A google on WFP will lead you to get more information on this. The downside of WFP is that it works only on Windows Vist ...Show All

• .NET Development ReadXml with read count

  Hi, I need to load a DataTable from a XML file but not all the data, instead, I want to load a custom number of rows from this XML file. ReadXml function reads all the schema and data from the xml file but if the data is too large or if I want to read only 10 records to show as a preview to the user, what I should I do I think XmlReader is the solution to this problem but I do not know how to use this weapon. Thanks for any efforts and time spent. Thank you for your reply which helped me to be sure on the way to follow to start implementing the code. There is no solution or question on the internet other than mine and I think that makes things difficult as you say too. I will surely ask you the questions I met a ...Show All

• Visual Basic A background process to detect user activity / How to get VB.NET to use a C# class?

  Hello all, I have a multi-form application that is running fine, but now I would like to add code that would revert the application to its startup form if there is no user activity (mouse or keyboard). I have 27 forms in my application, and instead of going into each form indiviudually and adding a timer, I was wondering if there were a method to simply have a separate application (or hidden form in the same application) that would detect mouse and keyboard activity running in the background much like the method that your Windows screen saver uses to detect whether there is activity or not before showing the screen saver. I have looked into keyboard and mouse hooks but ran into a dead end; if I understand the documentation directl ...Show All
