• Smart Device Development Start VB Program unfocused

  I'm trying to write a VB program for a Pocket PC. When I run the program, I do not want any type of FORM to come up. Or Even better would for it to go into the Tray just to show it is running. Does anyone know of existing code i can look at to get this to work If I can just get the program to run without opening the Form1 window that would get me moving, and I could worry about making the Tray Icon stuff later. Thanks, You can hide the form from Activated event: Me.Hide ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Wrapper interfaces and duplicate proxy types

  Hi, I have two contracts that use the same schema type: In MySchemas.dll: [DataContract] public class KnickKnack { private int _number; [DataMember] public int Number { get { return _number; } set { _number = value; } } } In MyContracts.dll: [ServiceContract] public interface IServiceA { [OperationContract] void Modify(KnickKnack k); } [ServiceContract] public interface IServiceB { [OperationContract] void Modify(KnickKnack k); } If I host the two contracts as services as then generate client proxies, I get duplicated types (search the forums for 'duplicate proxy types' to see similar posts). I realized that my two contracts are actually part of the same application; it doesn't make sense ...Show All

• .NET Development StreamReader.ReadLine() breaks at single carriage return

  The StreamReader.ReadLine() documentation states that "A line is defined as a sequence of characters followed by a line feed ("\n") or a carriage return immediately followed by a line feed ("\r\n").". That means a line should not terminate at a carriage return alone "\r". But it does. Complete console application follows. It is not possible to read a line from a file that contains a carriage return "\r". It breaks on every carriage return. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.IO; namespace ReadLineBug { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { const string fileName = @"C:\Tes ...Show All

• Architecture Server getting intimation of disconnection while file is downloaded from client side

  I have a problem, There is a file being transferred to an .Net application via HTTP protocol by a J2EE web application. Now I want to trap the client disconnection event at Server Side if Download fails from client side. I have thought some approaches but not fully satisfied with those: 1. Just open a separate thread from client that will tell the server periodically that client is alive, till file gets transferred. 2. Server should ping the client periodically, if client is available, but this would be a violation of HTTP protocol. In case 1 ,  I would have to make a service or exceutable on client side which i would like to attempt as the last case. I would like client to be just using webbrowser. Please comment on my ideas ...Show All

• SQL Server Combining Output PDF files

  Is there a way to output reports to the same PDF file. Basicly Appending several reports to the one PDF. Without combining the reports using subreports, I think you would use code & custom PDF components, unless you want to jump into writing a rendering extension. Softartisians Officewriter & abcPDF.NET are two possible options. You can also try automating Acrobat. http://www.planetpdf.com/forumarchive/84747.asp One alternative may be to export to a different format and then convert to pdf afterwards. cheers, Andrew ...Show All

• .NET Development XPath syntax for string with ' embeded

  Hello, I have coded an XPath "It's a Wonderful Life". If I search for "Wonderful Life" I find the correct node since I coded the contains function, but I'd like to be more specific and look for the exact title. The problem is coding the correct syntax that will make C# and XPath happy at the same time. Can someone tell me the proper syntax so that I can code the entire title In other words I'd like to code contains(title,'It's a Wonderful Life') but that generates a run time error of "invalid token". Omitting the contains function and coding this df:title='It's a Wonderful Life' produces the same result. In C# one can write code as in the the following e ...Show All

• SQL Server Sorting Vs Indexing

  what is the difference between sorting and indexing.. It depends. It is a performance and diskspace issue. The general answer for a database that is constantly being modified is never sort it, and always index it. Sorting is only valid with a fixed or read only database. Once you add a record the data file is no longer sorted. The time to read a sorted file also grows with the number of records. A indexed file has a finite maximum access time, typically around 4 disk reads to find the record needed. Think about a name and address data file that you will constantly access in alphabetic order but you are constantly adding new names as needed. This is a perfect canidate to index on the name field. If you relied on a sort it would ...Show All

• Visual C# creating a combo box inside a data grid view

  I have created a data grid view in C# and I want to define a column in this data grid view to be a combo box. I have code which compiles but doesn't work. What I see when I test (in the column in the data grid view) is a drop down arrow on the right side of the field, but nothing happens if you select it. This is the code I used: DataGridViewComboBoxColumn dgvColPlayEveryDescription = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn (); dgvColPlayEveryDescription.DataPropertyName = "PLAY_EVERY_RID" ; dgvColPlayEveryDescription.Name = "PLAY_EVERY_RID" ; dgvColPlayEveryDescription.HeaderText = "Play Every" ; dgvColPlayEveryDescription.DisplayMember = "DESCRIPTION" ; dgvColPlayEveryDescript ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. End users shouldn't have to rewrite XNA math functions in order to improve performance.

  The overhead of passing a 64 byte Matrix by value is significant. Most especially when you are comparing two matrices for equivalency (==), or performing a Vector*Matrix multiplication (Vector3.Transform(Matrix)). The following matrix comparison function performs 5-10 times better than your built in == comparison. If the matrices are equal, then it is about 5 times faster. If they are unequal then it fails fast, and is about 10 times faster. public static bool Equals(ref Matrix a, ref Matrix b) { // i check the diagonal first for quick fails return a.M11 == b.M11 && a.M22 == b.M22 && a.M33 == b.M33 && a.M44 == b.M44 && a.M12 == b.M12 && a.M13 == b.M13 && a.M1 ...Show All
