• .NET Development .Net Framework 1.1 and its Service Pack 1

  Does anyone know whether the current .Net Framework 1.1 download from Microsoft also includes the SP1 changes Or does one have to download and install both files to be up to date Robert Werner http://PocketPollster.com Hi Robert, No, there is not a single version of the .NET Framework 1.1 that includes the SP1 changes. You will need to download and install 1.1 and then 1.1 SP1 as separate steps. You can also use steps like the ones at http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/03/05/385971.aspx to create an administrative install point that includes the .NET Framework and any hotfixes or service packs that you would like to include with it. Thanks! Aaron ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Working with buffers in 2D

  Hello all, I've been trying to figure out how the system with backbuffers work. In all examples I have found people are clearing the buffer before they draw something new. graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Black); ...draw some sprites... graphics.GraphicsDevice.Present(); I guess that when you enter the Draw method you are working with the backbuffer, so the clear() and the sprite draw() will affect the backbuffer. After that you call the Present() to draw the recently made backbuffer on the screen. My problem is that this is not how I would like to do it in my case. Everytime I enter the Draw() method I would only like to add some new things, and not clear anything. The easiest way to do this is to not have any backbuffer at all, but I ...Show All

• Visual Studio SubreportProcessing not firing, does it have to be an executable project?

  Summary: SubreportProcessing is not firing when the project output type is not executable. Hi , I am using LocalReport in my application. All the reports are located is inside a library and also all of them are embeded inside the assembly, so far everythings worked fine until I tried to use a subreport. I notice for some reason the SubreportProcessing event does not get fired, in order to test the application, I copied exactly the same files into an executable test project, and I noticed everything work properly there. Can you tell me what is the problem   And if my guess is correct, problem is related to the project output type, how can I achieve this without chaning the project output type Many Thank ...Show All

• Windows Forms Label within a label? C# and .NET

  Hi guys. I have an interesting issue. I have labels created dynamically at runtime in my app, and placed in a flow panel. What I need is for some of those labels to have an extra label with a single digit placed in one corner. What I have so far done is created a class which derives from a label AND has a label in it. i.e. class Slide : Label { public Label l_IndexLabel; public Slide() { l_IndexLabel = new Label(); } public void SetUpSlide() { l_IndexLabel.Text = this.Tag.ToString(); l_IndexLabel.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(10, 20); l_IndexLabel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle; l_IndexLabel.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(this.Right - 10, this.Top + 20); l_IndexLabel.Show(); l_IndexLabel. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS icons in VS

  I have been using VSS2005 together with VS2005 for a little while now. I have managed to figure out what the meanings of some of the VSS icons that get displayed in the solution explorer window and in the VC class wizard windows are, but I recently saw an icon that I was not sure about. Is there a list somewhere that gives a detailed explanation of meaning of the various icons Thanks. This may help http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181372(VS.80).aspx Some of the items are not used by source control (e.g. editable, orphaned, readonly). These items are in the same list with scc icons (for legacy reasons), but are used by projects to display project-specific status (I think VC uses some of ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS Host Assembly Resolving and parameter passing problem

  Hi, I need to pass some parameters to my template engine using VS host. I'm able to do it using TextTransform.exe tool, but now I need the same inside Visual Studio to have possibility run transformation from Vs as well as from command line. I check the code of TextTemplatingService.ResolveParameterValue and didn't find any way how link VSProject properties to template parameters.

And second problem is assembly reference resolving. I'm able to specify the path where looking for my assembly when using TextTransform.exe tool and not able to specify it for VS ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS05 saying project (unmanaged) is out of date and needs rebuilding when it has just been built

  Hi all Can anyone give me an idea of how to fix this somewhat annoying problem I have several projects in my solution. All are C++, some are managed and some are native. When I try to run the program - even if I've just done a build - it tells me that several of my projects (all the native ones) are out of date and need to be rebuilt. When I click yes, it will go through these projects and run the linker (at least the output window says "Linking..."). The linker doesn't actually do any linking (takes about a second to finish) and then goes on to the next project. Once its finished all the projects it will start running. If I stop running and then try to run it again, I have to go through the same process. Does anyone ...Show All

• SQL Server Paging in Stored Procedure

  I got this code on internet for Stored Proc paging. This will work if my final result is the order of eployee id. In my case my final result is in the order of emplyee name. What i have to change in below code so i can have paging in SQL plus my order is by name. I dont want to create Temp table. Becuase i think Creating temp table is overhead to sql server and in that case i'll use Datagrid defualt paging and return all rows always.(My total number of rows will not be more than 300 and in 70% cases they are below 100) CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_PageResults_NAI] ( @startRowIndex int, @maximumRows int ) AS DECLARE @first_id int, @startRow int -- A check can be added to make sure @startRowIndex isn't > count(1) -- from ...Show All
