• Visual Basic SMTP Authentication Windows Application

  I have a VB.Net application that I wrote that is NOT web based. This application is used to send our customers monthly updates and other information. We recently changed our T1 and our server requires Authentication. I have been able to get a web based version to authenticate, but am unable to do so with Windows. Any help would be appreciated. I need to get this working within the next few days.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Invalidate Layout

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. draw() method is called two times....

  Hi to all, At first place, i'm totally n00b in c# & XNA, and in my effort to learn I have been debuging some tutorials from XNATUTORIALS. I've noticed that the program has a strange behavior, strange for me, because I know that this behavior is normal but I don't understand it. When I debug the game, I've noticed that the draw() method is called two times consecutively. Can anyone explain it Thanks in advanced. PD: Sorry for my english, I'm from Spain. :-) And also, the Update() method is done 30 times !!!! 30 times update - 2 times Draw...... there is a location to put how many times is each method retry by each game loop I suspect than this can be managed by a game timer or some similar ...... but I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Obtaining a pixel (grayscale) value from the display

  Hi all, I just got into the world of C# programming and decided to use this to make a little graphical user interface which applies a filter to an image. Basically what I am trying to do is display an image (ie, load an image onto a picturebox) and then sample pixel (grayscale) values at various points. After obtaining these values, I wish to paint a circle per sample point, using Fillellipse() function, on a separate picturebox, where the color of the brush will match that of the grayscale value obtained. The problem that I am faced with is obtaining the pixel values from the displayed image. Most of the questions posted here seems to be focused on accessing the pixel values directy from the bitmap file via bitmapdata construct. ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to get daily totals from cumulative totals in a pivot

  I have been providing sales data for a few months now from a table that is set up like this: Date WorkDay GasSales EquipmentSales 9/1/2006 1 100.00 200.00 9/4/2006 2 50.00 45.00 etc. As can be seen, the data is daily, i.e., on the first workday of September we sold one hundred dollars in gas and two hundred dollars in equipment. On the second workday of September we sold fifty dollars in gas and forty-five dollars in equipment. Now, however, the data I have to pull from is cumulative. So, using the last table as an example it would look like this: Date_WorkDay_GasSales_EquipmentSales 9/1/2006 1 100.00 200.00 9/4/2006 2 150.00 245.00 etc. To make things more complicated, the powers that be wanted this data p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugger Locks Up When Stepping Through Code

  If I pause for very long while stepping through my code in the debugger, the debugger locks up, and I need to kill the process by hitting cntrl alt delete, and closing the debugger down. Why is this happening and what can I do to prevent it from happening It is very frustrating. I am using VS2005. Thank you. Hmm, sounds like a bug. Can you give us some more information Like: - What process were you attached to - If it's your process, what type of process is it (Managed, native, mixed) - Do you have any sample code that repros the issue - How long did you wait (to see how long I should wait when trying to repro this) Thanks - Rich Chiodo MSFT ...Show All

• Windows Forms Temporary Behavior, Need Help

  I am creating a control with a custom designer that should allow a data object to be dropped onto it, setting some properties. This object will be coming from another application. I've already been able to implement this by overriding the OnDrag events of the control's designer, but I'd like to do it "more correctly" by attaching a behavior to the control's body glyph and overriding those drag events. The idea being I could just add another behavior if I needed to support another drop source, as well as reuse them for other objects. This behavior/glyph should only be active during a drag operation, and more specifically during a drag from outside the process. Is there a clean way to do this Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Label within a label? C# and .NET

  Hi guys. I have an interesting issue. I have labels created dynamically at runtime in my app, and placed in a flow panel. What I need is for some of those labels to have an extra label with a single digit placed in one corner. What I have so far done is created a class which derives from a label AND has a label in it. i.e. class Slide : Label { public Label l_IndexLabel; public Slide() { l_IndexLabel = new Label(); } public void SetUpSlide() { l_IndexLabel.Text = this.Tag.ToString(); l_IndexLabel.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(10, 20); l_IndexLabel.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle; l_IndexLabel.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(this.Right - 10, this.Top + 20); l_IndexLabel.Show(); l_IndexLabel. ...Show All

• Windows Forms how can i run a windows form control without a web server

  If I have a webbrowser control hosted in an MFC application, how can I load a web page that embeds a windows form control and run the control without IIS or any other web server I have a very similar situation. We have a .net control loaded using the <object> html tag in a MFC web browser control. Recently the controls have not been loading about 20% of the time. We see a red x in the control (the same as when a resource cannot be located in IE) upon loading the page, and refreshing the page doesn't seem to help. We are loading 3-5 separate .net controls in the same MFC app and about 20% of the time one of the controls shows the red x. All of the .net controls seem to be equally suscept ...Show All
