• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) linq ready for production??

  I m workin in a project which has alerady implemented a lot of modules , and i d like to know if it is recommendable to use LINQ for a project that hasr already started long time ago. Waht would be the impact about trying to use LINQ for this win app I mean the impact in code, because the code has standards and everything that maybe would crash with LINQ. Also , what if I wanna use C# 2.0 with linq because i dont wanna use C# 3.0 yet , at least for a time. Is there a version of LINQ that works appropiartly with C# 2.0 And is LINQ ready to be used in a huge project or it is yet just a CTP Best Regards Joseph To echo Galin, CTPs are just that - Community Technology Previews.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Differences in 3D model loading routines?

  If you call up "XNA Game Studio Documentation" and go to these links: ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.XNAFX.1033/XNA/UsingXNA_HowTo_RenderModel.htm ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.XNAFX.1033/XNA/Math_HowTo_FirstPersonCamera.htm These example programs have different 3D model loading routines. One routine is called by passing the name of the 3D mesh as a parameter and the other routine is called by passing the name of the texture as a parameter. Is the routine that is called by passing the name of the mesh as a parameter better for 3D meshes with two or more texture files I think that there's a problem with the "How to: Make a First Person Camera&qu ...Show All

• Visual C# WebBrowser Control active element doesn't regain focus after ALT+TABbing to another app and back

  When I add a WebBrowser control to a Form in .NET and then set its DocumentText to include an html input element of type="text" there appears to be a slight bug in how this text field retains focus when switching between apps using ALT+TAB. If you set focus to the text field and then hit ALT+TAB to go to another application and then hit ALT+TAB and select your original application again, the embedded WebBrowser control doesn't set focus back to the text field that you just left. However, strangely enough, if you do this ritual twice in a row, the text field mysteriously regains focus as you would have expected on the first run through of switching back and forth between the applications. Here's the simple code of my WebBrowser ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create Arrow Line Control?

  Hi, all. If you ever used visio, you have seen the arrow link. You can put arrow link between two text boxes or image boxes. I want to create the arrow as a custom control so user can select arrow on the form and can drag it/link between two picture boxes. Does any one knows about this Any info will help! Thank you. That sounded like a pretty useful control. You didn't say what language you used so I opted for VB. Copy and paste the code below in a UserControl. Drop some controls on the left of the form and some on the right and put the UserControl in the middle. Set the ControlSrce property and the ControlDest property in the properties window. At run-time, you can drag the left part of the line or the right par ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Can't access #text fragments of HTML DOM.

  Hello: I posted this question to another forum, but didn't get a reply. This looks like a more appropriate MSDN forum anyhow so here goes... I am writing a C# application which uses the WebBrowser control (MSHTML under the covers) to read in an HTML file. My program will then walk the DOM and write out the document text (with some formatting) to a new document in another format. This way I can leverage IE's ability to read, parse, and cleanup the HTML for me. All of this is working great, unfortunately IE seems to be simplifying the DOM for me and making it so that I can't access the real data. Here is a little snippet of some HTML that I'm reading in: <p> <br /> <font size="+2">T</font>o ...Show All

• SQL Server Example of Stored proc conflict resolver?

  Hi all, I need to write a custom conflict resolver for an application using merge replication. It's relatively simple logic - compare the two rows from the publisher and the subscriber and the winner is based on the value of one particular column. Reading BOL gives me the input parameter list for the sp, and specifies that the output should be exactly the winning row. What is doesn't give is any example of how to do this, in particular how to access the two rows in conflict so that they can be compared. I can do this by dynamically building SELECT statements, one connecting to the table locally on the publisher and another connecting to the subscriber using the form SERVER.DATABASE.OWNER.TABLE, but this requires me to explicit ...Show All

• SQL Server Dialog Security questions

  Hi Remus Thank you for the email reply. However i am still not 100% clear, dialog security with certificates when there are hundreds of remote services seems a bit complicated. I have a few more questions. 1. you said " When sending the first message (any direction), we look up the 'best' certificate for each user " My inititor sevice is owned by dbo, i have created certificates only for named users not dbo, how would this work 2. I am going to try settin gup this again, but at the central service i will create a seprate user for each remote service, authorize the remote certificate for this user and use this user in the remote service binding for that remote service, is this correct or am i still doing somehting wrong ...Show All

• Visual C# Calling C# DLL from a Java application (or even another C++ or VB app)

  I have a C# DLL that needs to be called from a Java application. I suspect that this can't be done directly, but perhaps through a JNI wrapper to a C++ DLL which in turn calls the C# DLL I am looking for an answer that provides the simplest of examples that I can compile and test. (e.g. a C# class with a simple method that inputs one string and returns another....and those inputs and outputs are passed down and up through the layers). Do we need COM involved in this If so, how Sorry for the late response... I'm afraid I didn't get much further than this. I ended up moving on to something else, but will definitely return back to this area at some point. If I do, I'll be sure to try and p ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista TC23 - Problems undoing registry changes after installation rollback

  Hello, I'm trying to pass test case 23, and even if I finally got the installer to remove all the files that it installed (I had problems with reportengine.msm of Crystal Reports) after the rollback, I realized that it didn't undo the registry changes made during intallation. I think I read (in a post in this forum that right now I can't find) that we should make a little script to launch after rollback, where we could undo those changes manually. Well, this is what my imaging tool says about the registry changes after rollback: - Values added: 91.900 - Keys added: 97.700 - Values deleted and changed: 1000 Those are lots of changes !! I realized that our controls' registration information is still in the registry, even th ...Show All
