• Visual Basic Checkbox value in datagrid

  Hi every one. I am working on a web form which allows people to tick on a specific item they would like to reserve. I have a datagrid which contains 5 data fields. It also contains a template colunm which contains the checkbox. (The sixth colunm) The problems is no matter user tick on the check box or not, the checkbox value remain the same. Therefore, the code can not tell what has been selected by users. The following codes are used in this web form I described above. Code in html <asp:DataGrid id=DataGrid2 style="Z-INDEX: 107; LEFT: 328px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 504px" runat="server" DataKeyField="CRID" DataMember="CourseReader&qu ...Show All

• Visual C# How to write Debug directive in CS file?

  In aspx file, it is written as "<%@ Page Language=C# Debug="True">". In CS file, how to write it. My purpose is to get a pdb file after compilation of the cs file into dll file, so that I might trace the line number once some errors occur in web application. Thks a lot! If you are using ASP.NET 1.1 and VS2003, you'll need to change your project to select the debug configuration (go to Build -> Configuration Manager on the menu). This controls the settings for the assembly with your code-behind. In ASP.NET 2.0 / VS2005, with the default web site project model, it's all controlled by web.config.

• Visual Basic Why does the file reference change to the local copy?

  Hi, Project A references a dll (Project B). This reference's 'Copy Local' property is set to true. Build Project A and a copy of the referenced dll is created in Project A's directory, great. Now; change Project B and rebuild.. ..the instant that vs2005 deletes the dll during the rebuild, Project A says, 'hey.. where's that dll i'm referencing gone ' .. and then proceeds to remove my original reference to the dll, and replace it with a reference to the local copy. This means, whenever I make changes to my dll (Project B), I have to remove the 'changed reference' and add back the correct one. This can't be how it's supposed to work ! Is there a setting called.. "When a referenced dll 'doesn't exist anymore', don't try ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performing custom blending in pixel shaders?

  Hi, I've read that in xna the fixed function pipeline has been wholly removed, with the exception of alpha blending. My question is, is there a way to do blending in the pixel shader anyway, for example: to write a full screen shader that takes what has currently been drawn and applies some effect to it (ie. makes the scene black and white, applies blur, whatever) that can't be achieved with just alpha blending Or is there some other standard way of doing this I was talking post-process yes. What I meant was how do you read the current frame buffer values you want to modify to do post-process or should I render the scene to a texture first ...Show All
