• Visual C# What is the maximum literal address for a local file?

  I thort it was 255 but when tried I found it only == 248 CHAR full LITERAL filename & path string length!!! How do I determine what the user can enter before submitting it to the OS as the intended filename You could define a constant MAX_PATH and set it to 260 then you subtract the current length of the filename to get the number of characters left. It is possible that the MAX_PATH is set 256 in Windows 95, 98 and Windows Me (not sure though) but as mentioned here before you cannot create files using the Base Class Library that exceed 260 characters and a maximum of 248 characters for a folder name. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums PushPins above PolyLine

  Hi I'm wondered if someone could give me a quick pointer on how to solve this problem… I have a VEMap upon which I add a few PushPins and draw a PolyLine. Unfortunately the PushPins appear under the PolyLine which both looks a bit crappy and the PushPins are hard to select. Eg. http://www.businessgeek.com/ve/ (Click Draw GPS Trace) Do you know how I can get the PushPins to appear above the PolyLine As you will see I’ve even tried a GeoRss layer but that suffers the same problem. I’d really appreciate help with this. Many thanks Jonathan What order are you actually adding them to the map map.AddPushpin(.... map.AddPolyline(... Are the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vista Compatibility

  Looking for any hints on when a Vista version will be released. (Note that I'm in the middle of installing the same version as everyone else is right now, but the web site says it won't be out for a bit). I really don't want to put a third OS on my system just so I can run xna express. (I've already got Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bit on here - starting to get crowded) Dan Well, major thanks to the people on this forum. I've now got game studio running under Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Time to get to work on my game, although I'll really be spending the next week or two doing design, and just futzing with xna to test some ideas out for now. Cheers, and thanks again.

  Hello WinForms users, My team, which owns Windows Forms, would like to gather some information about the new DataGridView control that shipped in the .NET Framework 2.0.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Assemblies Not Referenced

  After installing XNA Game Studio Express 1.0, I get the following error in my Beta 2 project: Error 1 The type 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.SpriteBlendMode' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f48fa5f25d27e8ff'.

• Windows Forms Why is MyForm derived from Form?

  Hi, First of all sorry if this is OT, I didn't know whether to put the question in this or windows forms group. My question is related to the code generated by the designer. When designing the form, the corresponding class is generated. The class is derived from the System.Windows.Forms.Form class. My question: why is the class derived from the System.Windows.Forms.Form The generated code seems to use only public members of the form class and doesn't override any virtual method of the Form class. Is there any way to get explanation from the WinForms development team Thanks in advance, Sasa Hi, Thank you for your response. The reason I ask, is simply because at one point I asked my self the question from the subject. The fact is tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Saving attachments

  To save an attachment you have to open it and then save it from within the application that has opened the attachment. In my experiences, IExplorer is always opening the attachments and sometimes failes to do so. For example: opening xml files for which the specified schema can not be found. Also for other file types like .jpg I rather want to save the files than open them in IE. I tried to change the file type associations as explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905703/en-us , but no luck. (What's more, for file types for which I changed the default open-application, the Advanced button is missing in the 'Details for .. extension' dialog. Only after pressing the 'Restore' button I can select 'Advanced' and then check/uncheck 'Conf ...Show All
