• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Inserting rows and columns in protected sheet.

  I have got a protected sheet in which some of the columns and rows are locked. Hence the user will not be able to edit these cells. But they can edit the unlocked cells. i have set the lock property of all the cells in the sheet to unlock. Then i locked only the requried cells manually. But when i am trying to create a new column next to locked column or new row next to the locked row, the newly created column or row is also getting locked which is not the desired output for me. ie.if i am creating a new column (eg: after column A), then newly generated column (column B) is having the same format of Column A and hence the cells adjacent to locked cells(of column A) in column B is also getting locked. i want the column B to be not ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I got the true video memory information

  I use two fuctions to get video memory information.One is the getcaps in Directdraw. The other is getavailabletexturemem in directx9. But the two fuctions just return the video memory changes when I play a movie by realplayer. When I just show a picture in Mspaint, the video memory information doesn't change at all.

So is there any other function to get video memory information Why the video memory doesn't change at all when show a picture thanks. No it doesn't. It's not a memory "move". It's a copy of the bits from one place to another. Both memory areas are preallocated: your BMP in syst ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Nullable<DateTime> serializes without the date in .NET2

  In C#, I have a Web Service that I am consuming that has an optional and nillable xs::dateTime field. Everything works fine in .Net 1.1, but when converting the project to .Net 2.0 the xs::dateTime fields are excluding the date in the serialization. If I change the WSDL file so that the xs::dateTime field is NOT nillable, then the wsdl.exe doesn't make the field a System.Nullable<DateTime>, it makes it just a DateTime and the problem goes away. I've done some research and found people with similar problems[0] on the internet, but haven't seen any answers. Please bear with me, but there are several code sniplets below. In the WSDL, the object is defined as such: <complexType name="DummyDateTime"> <sequence ...Show All
