• Windows Forms Binding a datasource to combobox

  I have a ComboBox in my application that is bound to a BindingList through the DataSource property. I am monitoring the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox for selection changes made by the user. My problem is that i want the ComboBox to have an empty selection (nothing selected) initially, however upon setting the DataSource property to the BindingList the ComboBox automatically changes selection (from empty) to the first item in the BindingList. Selection also changes (if there is nothing selected) when items are deleted or added to the BindingList (once its bound to the ComboBox). Is there anyway of disabling this behaviour any help would be much appreciated. Ah, Have you con ...Show All

• Visual Basic disable code?

  I made a if statment, now if that statment is true, then what would i put to disable all the code below it In code, if you put something in the IF Clause - it will run it the expression is true. It sounds as though you dont want to run something when the condition is true. You could put code in the code in the else clause or change the code to if <expression> = False but you cant disable statements - you can merely choose to execute them or not at runtime. Another option maybe conditional compile conditions - this way certain code may be included when you set certain compile flags - but these flags are set in the project and used when the code is compiled up. This way you can exclude certain code from being compiled. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cherry Pick Merge causes conflict

  I know this subject has come up a few times in the forum, and I've read the answers to those - but still not sure I'm following the answer. I am following an admittedly old webcast from TechEd 2005 by Douglas Neumann that talks about TFS Promotion Modeling, and the ability to Cherry-Pick merge a particular changeset.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3D Mesh Object does not exist...and Spacewar is using new "swm" format?

  Looking at the SpaceWar sample...I am wondering if there is somewhere a converter from .X or .XBF to the SWM format. Looking at the loader in the Simplemesh.cs class, it looks like the SWM is using a propriatary header and than the binary .X format.. Can anybody help with this format I would love to use 3D Max and export to .X than read it into my game...but without a code converter to SWM...hard:-) It was mentioned in another thread that the guys that did the Spacewar game had a utility that converted from .x to .swm, and they were going to see if we could get a copy :) http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=683102&SiteID=1 ...Show All
