• Visual Studio Express Editions DataGridView Money Issue?

  I need to list currency in a cell of the DataGridView, I chose "Money" Data Type as this made sense to me, and have two questions. 1) is it possible for it to automatically format "$" signs and "," 2) The amounts that I have entered into it already it is adding an extra "00" to the end of each amount.

• .NET Development xDataAdapter functionality

  Given xDataAdapter of x .NET Provider in ADO.NET 2.0 should xDataAdapter call row.AccepChanges() for an Insert command before updating output params and record returned during xDataAdapter.Update in order to ensure that Original row values are filled Original values are necessary to ensure that DataSet Merge operation works correctly in case PKs are returned from data source after insert either by output params of a SP or a returned record. I think my question was not so well formulated. Microsoft documentation for DbDataAdapter.Update Method (DataRow[], DataTableMapping) says: When using Update , the order of execution is as follows: The values in the DataRow are moved to the parameter va ...Show All

• Visual C# When does imageindex actually update the button image?

  Good day all! I'm brand new to Visual C#, so this is likely a beginner question, but it's stumping me. I am trying to create a button that, when you click it, it changes the button image for a couple of seconds, then reverts it to normal. I loaded up an image index with several pictures to use, but am getting a strange issue. When the button is clicked on, it waits the amount of time I request (2 seconds), but the picture never changes. (I know it goes through the code, because it does other things unrelated to the button at the same time.) The code is really as basic as (forgive capitalization issues): button1.imagendex = 6; thread.delay(2000); // some other code happens here totally unrelated to the button button1.imageindex = 10; I'm tr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Phong is just gouraud

  I am testing lighting on a landskabe. Doing so, I wanted to use ohong shading, but aparently the phong is just gouraud. http://www.greenleaf.dk/public/phong/phong.html is a page with my landskabe with and without normals with the different shadings. It is quite obvious that phong is being rendered quite non phongish. In the example scene the light is comming directly from behind the camera. I am using managed dx with vs2005. I did not install the sdk this time, but only the managed redistributables. That has not given me any problems before though. What would cause the phong to not work Usually I do install the sdk. Currently I do not, since I was testing the dx operation on systems without the sdk. It wo ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums adCenter - Java Example with axis?

  Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows of a working example of using the adCenter API with Java and Axis or has one that they'd like to share with the group. I'm a newbie trying to put together an implementation and am running into all sorts of issues. The first is that I get invalid characters in the generated CountryTypeTarget class.

And to do so i use: textConsole.Text = message; //message is the string i want to set it to textConsole.Select(textConsole.Text.Length, 0); textConsole.ScrollToCaret(); But it updates too often that it flickers when it is updated.

• Visual C++ Strange Error - Please Help

  Hi all, I wrote a dll (using a definition file).

• Visual Studio Merge not getting all files

  Hi all, I am trying to do a merge between my root branch and my own development branch, some of the files are missing from my dev branch. I did a treediff and it shows that there are new files in the root branch, but when i try to merge it does not show those files. I tried the command line and there is an asterisk next to the changeset which was merged in. I looked at the documentation also and this is what I could find. "The asterisk ‘*’ next to changeset 147 indicates that only some of the changes in that changeset #147 were merged into changeset #167." Is there any way to resolve this and make sure that everything is merged I have tried using the UI as well as the tf merge command but of no help. Suggestions are w ...Show All
