• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot link to ChangeWindowMessageFilter(..)

  I am trying to implement the ChangeWindowMessageFilter function. I have presumed it is found in the new Vista SDK release 3.0. At this point I cannot link to it --I have even moved User32.Lib from the ...v6.0\lib folder to my project folder. The documentation says it is in that lib file. Any ideas thanks so much, george It's definitely in the Vista SDK user32.lib file (I opened it up in binary to make sure). Double check the paths you are using for in tools-options-projects and solutions-directories (or if using command line make sure your include path has Vista SDK lib folders first) ...Show All

• .NET Development How to dispose TcpListener's holding port?

• Software Development for Windows Vista XAML Based WF Linked to Assembly

  I am trying to set up an XAML based workflow where all of the activities are either common activites or defined in a custom assembly. I am loading the xoml file at runtime using an XMLReader to load the xoml file, then calling CreateWorkflow with the XMLReader. After working with this a bit I was finally able to get the workflow to load correctly. The workflow starts with a While Activity. The While activity calls a member of my custom SequentialWorkflowActivity class named 'ContinueLooping'. 'ContinueLooping' sets args.Result = true; This should result in a continuous loop, however, the workflow always completes right away. If I put a message box in the 'ContinueLooping', I never see the message box. If I change the name of the 'ContinueL ...Show All

• .NET Development how to edit a satellite assembly

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form.TomMost Property didn't work correctly on visual Basic 2005

  Hi every body in visual basic 2005 ,the form.TopMost Property didn't work correctly in visula basic 2005. I set TopMost property to ture,but my form lost focus when user clicks on another form. I Need this information to complete my job. I have a few items which are always on top (ObjectDock, for example), which sometimes disappear to the background. Usually I have to 'reset' it to be back on top. It doesn't use the .NET framework, so I guess the issue is that always on top is unreliable. I believe that there are probably some applications which use the always on top mechanism to bring a form to the foreground, which messes up forms which truly need to be always on top. I guess you can simply ...Show All

• .NET Development detailsView and/or tableAdapter data manipulation

  Hi! I have the following problem: Theres a detailsView that I use to let users enter data. This data then gets published on a website (think simple CMS). But the users that enter data are not tech-savvy, therefore I need to replace CR and LF with <br />. This isn't difficult as is, to perform this all I need to do is "string.Replace("\r\n", "<br />")", but the problem lies in the data access. the detailsView is fed from a tableAdapter that gets a whole table from a DB. This code is not written by me, so I'm not into the technical details. All I am looking for is the right moment and way to let my replace do its work. I tried to access the data within the detailsView (programmatically) usin ...Show All

  Ok, I will try this since I have yet to get an email back from MSN windows live messenger.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Depth of GameComponents?

  Hey, I've been trying out some features of XNA and I noticed that one really necessary feature is missing... there is no way to set the order in which game components are drawn in the existing framework. I would really appreciate a Depth or ZOrder property of the GameComponent class and a Sort() method for GameComponentCollection. Maybe there is another way to do this, but I would find it a lot easier than using the Insert() method, since developers may want to change the order after adding the component. This is probably a pretty crude explanation as I haven't given that much thought to it, but it still seems that some sort of solution to this would be very useful. Please tell me what you think or plan to do - thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing MSDB shows "client unable to establish connection... Encryption not supported" error

  Hi, I currently have SQL2005 Std, using 2 separate domain accounts for both SQL server and SQL agent. When accessing the MSDB stored packages folder from mgmt studio, I get the following error: Client unable to establish connection. Encryption not supported on SQL server. I did google for this error, but have tried all suggestions, including updating the MsDtsSvr.ini.xml file with the servername. I am using a default instance. Also, I am only able to access the MSDB folder if I set the SQL service account to the local admin account. I have also set the SQL service account to be part of the local admins group, but without any luck. TIA. After trial and error, somehow this problem was resol ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying Good Quality Graphics in a large Simulation

  Hi Guys and Gals, My first forum post here so lets hope I get a good solution :D. Im a 4th year student at SLIIT (Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology) and Im doing my final year project right now. Our group decided to build a traffic flow simulator that simulates real life scenarios (100 vehicles heading in one direction, the roads getting jammed, etc. etc) using AI agents (cars mostly). Now the question I want to ask is, I will have to show all these entities moving around, and since we plan to model a large area there will be lots of objects moving around and interacting with each other. Im pretty new to C# (I used mainly Java) and I doubt the best way to show all this graphics is to just dump them on the main form . So whats t ...Show All
