• Visual Studio Express Editions Resize form when screen resolution changes.

  Hey, I have a form that has nearly the same height as the screen. How can the form automatically (when the form loads) be resized to fit the height of the screen when the screen resolution has been changed to a lower resolution option Best Regards Cathrine   Cathrine - You go woman! SystemInformation.WorkingArea.height and .width will do it. I'm terribly sorry about the imprecision in my response but I've taken a lightening hit and my system is in a very bizarre state. I had to remove VS2005 and I'm almost dead in the water. I am so glad we got your problem solved though! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Don't Forget MARS

  If you are triyng to do lazy loading direclty with the objects, you'll get an error when you try to load children cust.Orders.Load You'll need to edit the connection string to turn MARS on MultipleActiveResultSets=true Note - I have only tested scenarios with direct object context access, not queries, so I am not saying you have to do this with queries (yet) But I have to bolt, so thought I'd put this here. <phew>I was able to write this query without using MARS. </phew> As expected ...

• Visual Studio Team System Import schema failed with Trusworthy assemblies

  Hi, I've been trying to figure this out, with no luck. I am attempting to import a database schema that uses unsafe assemblies, the database I'm importing from has the Trustworthy database option on so it's not a problem there. However when I import the database schema into my new project I get the errors stating that the create assembly failed. TSD4001: CREATE ASSEMBLY for assembly 'GlobalVariables' failed because assembly 'GlobalVariables' is not authorized for PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE. The assembly is authorized when either of the following is true: the database owner (DBO) has UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission and the database has the TRUSTWORTHY database property on; or the assembly is signed with a certificate or an asymmetric key t ...Show All

• Visual C++ _USE_RTM_VERSION has no effect on DLLs

  I found out that it's possible to run applications built by VS2005 SP1 on PC which has installed the run time libraries (MFC80 and C run time lib) from VS 2005 not SP1. You have just to define the symbol _USE_RTM_VERSION on the C++ preprocessor inside your project. It works fine with exe file but it has no effect on DLLs . Infact, if my exe use a DLL (MFC based) built with VS2005 SP1 it doesn't start because the DLL cannot find the rigth run time libraries even if I defined _USE_RTM_VERSION on the DLL preprocessor. The only way to make things work is to rebuild everything with VS 2005 SP1 without _USE_RTM_VERSION and install the new run time libraries running the vcredist_x86 package. I found out that the problem apperas if the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. EnableDefaultLighting and Fog

  I am developing a Quadtree terrain component and need to understand the EnableDefaultLighting method and Fog parameters of BasicEffect in order to make models that are added to the quadtree to appear to visually fit there. Is there a way to SetDefaultLighting Fog or do I misunderstand what EnableDefaultLighting does. I would like to help the user of the quadtree in the management of the visual aspects of models added to the quadtree terrain. If they modify the effect of the terrain to make the sun rise/set then all models need to reflect this (fog parms may change also). But, should I monkey with their effect settings on their models (at all ) each time an effect parameter is changed on the terrain Should the user of the terrain hav ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where fro art thou System.xml?

  I was using the System.XML namespace in my XNA project for storing definitions, the XMLRead and XMLwrite functions proved very usefull. After upgrading my project to Beta2, the System.XML name space is no longer recognised. is this by design due to the XBOX compatability issues or have i missed something. If XML is nlonger available whats the best medium for sturing structured informationin files now Darkside Thanks, should've checked that myself really. Strange thing is that System os includedalready which used to be enough in Beta 1 Has the scope of namespaces changed in beta2, could this be the reason that the System .XML namespace is not available by defalt, or was it a bug in the original Working now ...Show All
