• Visual Studio Accessing parent project from invoked child project

  When a project calls msbuild on a child project - is there any way to access anything in the invoking/parent project Is there any way to determine the project filename, or anything about the parent project This could be either via the msbuild XML or from a custom task, ie via the object model. I've been looking at the object model and at the internal classes but haven't found anything appropriate. /marcus Will this work for BinariesRoot and SolutionRoot We are trying to call a child project so we can build some C# projects in the child project and put the binaries in the same output folder as some C++ projects that are built in the parent project. So far nothing happens when the child project builds and ...Show All

• Visual C# need help with code

  I am trying to write a program kinda like a receipt and I am having trouble with this. What I need it to do is look like this: Please enter the price of the item: Please enter the quantity of the item: Please enter the total of the item: It needs to continue until you want to end it with like(-1) or something. Any suggestions It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks >> I need to be able to type any number in that field. You seem to be a bit confused. You can't type anything at all into an int or a decimal value. What you need are TextBox fields, say txtQuantity and txtPrice. Then you would write: int Quantity; decimal Price; void btnSave_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { Quantity = Convert.T ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework Eventing in CSF

  Hello, I would like to get more details about how to use eventing when writing a WES for CSF. First of all I would like whether there is any difference between the Provisioning Events, Health Events and Usage Events The provided samples with the WES toolkit don't implement any of them (except usage) so I would like to know if they are all implemented in the same way.

• Gadgets Dynamic Height

  Hello to all, this is my first post, i hope you can help me :) I'm creating a gadget for the forum of a my friend. The gadget reads, from a php web page, the title of the latest 3 active topics in the forum, the number of replies, and other info, it writes them in a table, the table is composed by 3 cells, the first and the third are used only for display pictures (the "head" picture and the "end" picture of the gadget), the middle one is where the information read from the php are written. I also add the refresh function and it's work perfectly. The gadget works pretty well but the topics title isn't everytime of the same length, so i can't set a default height for the gadget but i need to set it dinamically, bec ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why doesn't PDH work?

  Hello, I've been trying to develop an application that reads the CPU load from the computer and the free RAM memory available. To do so, I was primarily thinking about using the PDH interface, since we are building to Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, both of which already come with the PDH.dll. I downloaded the platform SDK from Microsoft's site, and I am using Visual Studio 2005. My dilemma is, every time I try to compile the source code, it gives me several errors, even with example codes taken from Microsoft's site. It gives me several unindentified objects in _main (it cannot understand/localize the commands, datatypes and so on). I don't understand why. I tried copying the pdh.h and pdh.lib to the main i ...Show All

• SQL Server Are these the correct steps? -- Encrypted Connection String and Security

  Hi, Assume I have an asp.net/sql server 2000 web app in a shared hosting environment. I then encrypt the connection string using ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider") in the page load of my default.aspx page. Am I understanding the following concepts then correctly 1. I upload the site to the shared hosting server. 2. The first time I run the app eg. www.whatever.com/default.aspx , the ProtectSection method above is executed. 3. Now the conn string area of my web.config is encrypted, and asp.net will decrypt as needed. 4. If someone were to hack the server and view the web.config -- whether via getting into the server or via ftp, they would see an encrypted connection string. Thanks very much! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. PC project -> 360 (including Game Library)

  Hello, I just wrote a little puzzle game (Windos Game Project) and now I want to build the 360 version of it, but I have a little problem (probably PEBKAC *g*) I wrote a content-processor for instanced rendering (overriding ModelProcessor) and implemented a new ContentItem called 'Font'. It reads the *.fnt files from AngelCode Bitmapfont Converter. Because I want to reuse this, I put it into a "Windows Game Library" and everything works fine.. Now, if I try to put my custom content stuff into a XBox 360 Game Lib, the build process told me, that there exists no "TargetPlatform" enum - which is needed for the serialization methods. After thinking about it, I realize, that I wouldn't make sense that th ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Combining Virtual Earth and Google Earth?

  Hi, I am wondering if it is somehow possible to combine the Virtual Earth maps with the Google Earth satelite images. In my country (Chile) there is no map coverage from Google Maps but Virtual Earth offers pretty fair details for certain regions. However, the satelite images from Google Earth are way better than those of Virtual Earth. Now, my idea is to realtime import the map info from Virtual Earth to Google Earth and visualize it in a ground overlay. But of course there is the problem that I would need the map info from Virtual Earth in a data file format suitable for the import to Google Earth, that means some kind of graphics or vector data - right Has anyone an idea if it is posible to realize my idea considering that Virtual Earth ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums live messenger becoming increasingly unreliable

  Has anyone else had this problem WLM is losing more and more messages lately. I had a friend over on my local wifi network and we were both messaging each other and nothing was showing up.

• Visual C++ strange error :-S

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security timestamp problem

  Hi, I have a service with "message security". When I try to connect to server I receive this error : "The security time is invalid because its creation time "15/01/2007 13:39:40" is in the future.
