• Visual C# Assigning By Reference

  Quick question, in this code fragment From my own experiance; though I'm now one for 'rtfm', I have found that Connection.Details = Conn.Details passes a copy whereas Connection = Conn passes a reference. I cannot explain why and it has lead me to start reading books for begineers again. Hell! I've always picked up new tricks, in every language, whenever I go back to basics anyway. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) consideration about XamlView

  Does anyone have tried the XamlView at http://www.codeplex.com/XamlView I have tried to use this tool to view my resource dll. The xaml content can be view almost as its original. Since I am developing a smartclient application, the dlls will be deployed to client machines. So how to avoid the design to be viewed directly Any suggestions Since Xaml files is treated as manifest resources files in your assembly, AFAIK, code can be obfuscated, but resources don't. so my idea is to customize the WPF's build engine to include your dedicated building task, the dedicated task should be responsible for encrypting the generated BAML stream using whatever encryption algorithms makes sense here(or you can use other methods here to & ...Show All

• .NET Development Regex behavior

  I have the following regular expression: <%( <one>.+)%>(<%( <two>.+)%>) I apply it to the following: “<%this is one%><%this is two%>” After running the regex, one contains “this is one%><%this is two” and two contains nothing. Without the “ ” at the end, one contains “this is one” and two contains “this is two”. If I use the “ ” at the end and run the match from right to left one contains “this is one” and two contains “this is two”. This is what I expect. I do not understand why using “ ” at the end causes the match to skip the first “%>” and go to the ending “%>”, especially if it works without the “ ” and with a right ...Show All

• .NET Development Error on Bitmap.Save()

  Hi, I'm using the JPEG Encoder with a Bitmap.Save()-call.

• Visual Basic How do i use VBscript to open a file within a outlook form.

  i have designed 2 outlook forms and i would like to be able to open one from a command button on the other does anyone know what code i will have to use as i have hunted all over and am unable to find what code to use If they are outlook forms then its likely you are using VBA (visual basic for applications) to implement this rather than VBScript.

• Windows Forms Custom Business Objects & Column Names

  Hello, I could use some assistance with what I had thought would be a simple problem... I have several classes, however let us say that we are going to bind to a (simple for the purpose of the question) class defined as: public class Person { private string _firstName; public string FirstName { get { return _firstName; } set {_firstName = value; } } Public Person() { } } When binding to such data, the column names are derived by the name of the public properties defined on the class. In this case, I would end up with a column called 'FirstName'. How can I intercept and provide a different name when the class is being bound In this example, I simply would want the column name to be 'First Name'... but I hope you can ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot find SMO namespace in Visual C# 2005

  I know that this may sound like a stupid question... but I install visual C# express and SQL server express, and I still couldn't access the SMO namespace.

However when I try to use SMO in C#, it just couldn't find the Microsoft.SqlServer.Management namespace that SMO is under. Any help is appreciated!!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What constitutes "Commercial"?

  What if I want to develop an application that I do not intend to distribute and sell, but only use internally as an integral part of some business model, such as in a CyberCafe / LAN party. If I'm a business consultant who develops a Team-Building game for corporate events that are based on my Team-Building Intellectual Property, is it considered "Commercial Use" if I'm using the Xbox 360 as a turnkey platform to run this on For example, perhaps I break up employees into small groups of four to team up and participate in a game and I need to use 10 Xboxes simultaneously for a group of 40 people. You can see the advantage of using 360s instead of PCs for the convenience of setup here, especially for a travelling roadshow. So ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to creat two or more applicatioins on one VISTA desktop

  In Windows XP system, end-user is very easy excute tow or more applications on one XP desktop, but why we can not creat two or more applicatioins on one VISTA desktop Does anybody know how to solve this issue I assume this is an application that supports some form of single instancing. In other words, if you start it twice from the Start menu, only one instance remains (the second instance notices the first one and terminates itself). On XP, you used right-click->runas... to workaround the single instancing. Did you use the same username\password as was used at logon I guess not. And now, on Vista, right-click->run as administrator does *not* work as a workaround. You never get to enter a ...Show All

• SQL Server XML to Cols

  I have a XML column in my source DB. Is there any way possible using SSIS to convert the XML to ordinaty cols (varchar) in the destination db. I am using Sql 2k5. thanks in advance There is a possibility to do so if you don't have external schema binded to your xml 1) Create a SSIS dataflow 2) Use OLEDBSrc to connect to your source DB. You xml column will be pulled out as a "ntext" into SSIS pipeline. 3) Add a DataConversion transform after the OLEDBSrc, to convert that column to varchar (give it a code page or use the default, and specify a length) 4) Lead DataConversion to a destination downstream.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why doesn't CreateMessage throw an exception for un-serializable body contents? (POX messaging)

  I just posted a blog entry here where I detail a situation in which I can legitimately and without exception make a call to CreateMessage where it will be physically impossible to serialize the contents upon transmission to the client. Basically it goes like this: I accidentally left off the [DataContract] attribute on a class and then I created a message that contained a list of that class (e.g. List<MyClass>). The call to CreateMessage did _not_ throw an exception, and when I attempted to access the service URL via GET (which should just dump me the contents of my list), I got the funky "you have no internet connection" message from IE. When I ran my little unit tester to try and extract the body from the response m ...Show All
