• Windows Forms retrieving a databound listbox's selected value

  I am very new to C# programming, so I am banging my head trying to figure something out that should be so simple. All I want is to get the value of the selected item in a listbox which is bound to a database table. If I try to simply display the value in a label, I get "System.Data.DataRowView" displayed. This is part of a project I am working on to populate the items in one listbox according to what item was selected in a previous listbox. If anyone could point me to articles or examples of how this is done, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! I'm not sure I quite agree with your answer, at least not for my configuration. I created a new data source using the Data So ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How manipulate vertexs of a existing mesh? (DX9.0/ native C++)

• SQL Server Complicated licensing question

  Hi, I have a dual CPU Dell PowerEdge for my SQL server. I have a SQL 2005 license for 1 CPU. In addition to that, I have a SQL 2005 license that I obtained at the SQL Launch event for free. Here are my questions: If I just install SQL 2005 on my dual CPU server, will it not run at all, or will it just utilize one of the CPUs Is this against the licensing agreement I don't expect performance issues even if the SQL software only utilizes one of the processors, so that would work fine for us. However, if this is not a workable solution and I need two licenses, can I use the SQL Launch license as the second license I can't figure out if it is a per-CPU or per-user license. Thank you, Pavla ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE + Office 2003 + VS 2005 Pro

  This is more of a Getting Started type of question. For some reason, I'm not finding any kind of basic tutorial that covers building an Add-In using VSTO SE (Beta) + Office 2003 Pro + Visual Studio 2005 Pro. The document that comes with VSTO SE Beta describes how to build a Ribbon, Custom Task Pane and a Custom Form Regin but all for Office 2007 components. I'd like to build an Excel 2003 add-in (or whatever) that displays a button to my end-user. Once the button is clicked I'll grab some data from the current/active worksheet, send the data to a web service and then take the results of the web service call and poke it back into the current worksheet. I've been able to do this in old school VBA (plus the now unsupported SOAP Toolkit) b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to edit the vsmdi file to add unit tests for TeamBuild?

  Hi, Like many other people, I only have VS Dev Edition so I cannot create test lists. Can someone show an example of how to edit the vsmdi file to include the desired assemblies with unit tests, and add it to the TeamBuild project file Not sure if this is exaclty a trivial task, but any pointers would be welcome. Thanks! Dear all, I saw in MSDN forums more than one thread regarding the problem of non existent test manager in Dev Edition. Today I had the discussion with my boss about that because we are facing the same problem. As we understand, we have the following options: to edit vsmdi ourselves which is more less impossible to purchase the third party solution mentioned above to wait for another year for Orcas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build.aspx and Build.xls Not rendering correctly

  Hi guys, I am on the 180 day trial edition of Team Foundation Server and I am having a problem with the alerts. I get the build completed alert in my email, but when I click on the link that takes me to http://<Server>:8080/Build/Build.aspx artifactMoniker=05312006_212205_68250 It renders some of the page but does not give any details.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installing DXUT?

  I've created my own application using DXUT. That's a water simulation that uses shaders 2.0. But I've encountered next problem.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. TotalRealTime behaviour

  I've used GameTime.TotalRealTime.TotalMilliseconds to access the wall clock time and it looks like it pauses when I drag the game window using mouse. Is it right and is it good :) In my case I need to keep the projectile going even in this case because my game is a network one and if the player drags the window all projectiles should fly in a synchronized manner on both PCs. I use DateTime.Now.Ticks as workaround and get what I need, but anyway I wanted to let you know about this effect. In this case, all projectiles / physics should be done by the host computer, and the others just simulate the transitions between the states received from the server ...Show All
