• Windows Forms Alternating between two images every 3 seconds using a timer

  Hello! I am quite new to C sharp and want to write a small program. I use an Mdi form with several child forms. I want to have a little picture box in a corner, possibly the Mdi form, that alternates every few seconds or so between two images continuously even while I switch between the various child forms. Is this even possible in Visual Studio 2005, and if so how Many thanks, Boombastic Well, I don't quite understand what you are trying to do with these images. But doing a background image in the MDI parent client area won't do it Then you will want to do a base form class and put the timer and code to change the images in there. Then inherit from this form in every MDI child form that sh ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Where is the Application database to be installed?

  Hey all, According to the Windows Vista Software Logo Spec 1.0.doc ( Version 1.0.0006 ), Item 2.3 "Install to Correct Folders": Applications should be installed to Program Files or the user’s AppData folder by default. For per-machine installations, user data must be written at first run and not during the install. Since the install potentially elevates to a different user account during the per-machine install, there is no correct user location to store data at install time. Our multi-user application is intended to be installed "per-machine", so any user of the machine (or network) could share the application data. That said, can anybody explain in plain English, where should the application ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vector to rotation, ie - point models 'forward' to their direction.

  Imagine you have a model of say a plane, with a position (x,y,z) and a vector for it's movement. On each update you're adding the movement vector to the position - ok easy enough. You want to have the plane model always be rendered to move with it's nose forward. is there a simple way to translate the movement vector into corrolating rotation x,y,z. My high-school cartisian trig is a bit sketchy, but as I recall on a 2d plane from a normalized vector it would be like rotation.x = csc(y/x) (i probably have the trig identity wrong,but you get the geist of it). Want to translate normalized vectors v(1,0.5,0) into a rotation so models are facing the correct way for their movement. - anything built into xna for this I realise th ...Show All

  not sure i know what the problem is but when i run space wars it finds a line of code that says this .GameComponents.Add( this .graphics); and says it no suitable graphics device exception was unhandled Here is a thread where people had your same issue and the fix that worked for them. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx postid=682322&siteid=1 The way it sounds from the thread, if the fix indicated does not work, then you will most likely need to buy a new graphics card that supports shader model 2.

• SQL Server Need Help !! RDA replication

  Hi Everyone: I am new to Mobile programming. I am now working on a mobile project. I encounter an issue when I sync the data: cause I can't modify the schema, so I have to use RDA instead of Merge replication on sql server 2005.

And there would be generate same identity value when users sync data. How can I avoid those issues If you have any good ideas, please help me out so that ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Issue with frame resizing!!!

  Good morning, I'm trying to navigate throw some custom pages in my wpf application. I was checked that "AppModel/FragmentNavigationSample" in wpf samples works perfectly opening a page in a frame embedded in the main window of the application. I copy the main window and the page to a new project created with "microsoft expressions" but, when I open the frame, the main window is resized to the content size. I think that the only difference is in the project file.

• Visual Studio Team System How to install VS TS for Software testers

  Hi , This may kinda sounds stupid.Does the VS Team Suite give you an option to install the edition for Software testers.I am currently using the 180 day trial version and it installs the whole lot which includes the edition for developers,architects,testers etc.Its kinda frustrating.Would the installer choose the edition based on my license key If yes then when I get my MSDN License key for Software Testers will it automatically disable the other features.Whats going on It just driving me nuts! The custom setup screen during installation will allow you to choose exactly which components you want to install. You certainly don't have to install the other stuff if you don't want to.

• Visual C++ unresolved external symbol __invalid_parameter_noinfo

  Hi friends, We are building a sample project in debug mode with release build of library say test.lib we got error like "error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __invalid_parameter_noinfo". Can anybody give solution for this problem Regards, Mukilan I ran into this too, and agree that it is a bear. I thought I had run out of options, but this is what I did to fix it. My project uses two other statically linked libraries. The solution was to recompile those libraries with the same library flags (/MTd in this case), and verify that my project is getting the right files. It is surprising how you can think it is getting the library compiled with /MTd but it is not the right path or ...Show All

• Visual Basic Excel Process Won't terminate

  I have seen loads of information on this but none seem to resolve my problem. Here is the situation: I am using Visual Studio 2005 and using SQLBulkCopy to copy a certain range of Excel values into SQL 2000 table. The copy process is successful but I need to have the Excel file opened - otherwise I get "External table is not in the correct format". When I finish the copy I try to release all Com objects but Excel process is still active. I tried changing my connection string, using both Marshal.releaseComObject and Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject. Neither of which are successful. I then began looking at killin the Excel Window that I open by using a GUID. This works but when the user closes the other Excel windows which they hav ...Show All
