• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Direct3D Textures

  I am unable to create a Texture from a bitmap, but everything else works correctly. The same code works perfectly in Visual Studio 2003. DX3D = New Device(0, DeviceType.Hardware, MainForm.picDrawArea, CreateFlags.SoftwareVertexProcessing, PP) GetTexture = New Texture(DX3D, bmp, Usage.SoftwareProcessing, Pool.Default) Maybe you have used the MDX 2.0 beta instead of MDX 1.1. As MDX 2.0 is not supported by Visual Studio 2003 this mistake couldn’t happen there. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TreeDiff question

  Hi All I like the treediff feature. In our company we have been using 'BeyondCompare' to see tree differences. Compare does it well except for the fact I can't export it or even get a print out of it. I was wondering could I export this treediff compare resultset to an excel file somehow or even print out the report somehow   just wondering any hidden option somewhere that I might not be aware of Thanks. Hello, Unfortunately there is no printing functionality in the treediff ui. The only workaround I can think of is using command line with /noprompt, then process data using script and open in Excel. Hope this helps ...Show All

• Windows Forms Science Fair Help

  Hello, I'm entering a local science fair that my homeschool group is doing, and I need some help with code problem. My Basic idea is to build a Windows Form, with buttons that when clicked play a .wav file (recorded by me) explaining the basics of computer programming and how it has advanced through the years. Because ideas like Binary language are hard to explain verbally, I included a read-only Rich textbox that I can write to, to try and visually express the concept. (Actual C# and Basic commands are to be displayed to show the difference in the languages) I got the sound playing, the button commands, and the overall Form design. Now where the trouble comes in...

• SQL Server Modifying the SQL query for a Report(rdl) in runtime using C#/VB.net

  Hi, I have a custom report already created using SQL Server Reporting services 2000 and I want to render this report through a ASP.net application. Before rendering based on the user request I need to modify the SQL query of the dataset that is associated with the report and then launch the report which should display the results that matching the user filter criteria. note that the select list of the query remains the same, only the where clause changes. Please help. -Dinakar There is no object model on the report that would allow you to do this (no "dataset query collection" that you could interrogate, for example).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to get mouse position in screen coordinates?

  Is there any way how to get mouse position relative to desktop (in screen coordinates) I know about static method Mouse .GetPosition() but it requires parameter specifying IInputElement. Is there something like “screen” or “desktop” or something else I can use as parameter to GetPosition As I need to get this screen mouse position inside method in my class derived from Grid I could use this: PointToScreen( Mouse .GetPosition( this )) But still I think there could be some “desktop” object, or not i think you might wanna look for system.windows.forms as the namespace and there you can use the static method control.mouseposition which is in it. hope thi ...Show All

• Visual C# Underline text

• Software Development for Windows Vista Upgrade from XP to Vista deletes registry key and breaks service application

  Hi, We have a service working perfectly fine under XP. It also works perfectly fine with a fresh install on Vista. BUT, If the service is installed on XP and then XP is upgraded to Vista, the service stops working. We found out that during the Vista upgrade it deletes the registry key which is the GUID of our service: HKCR/AppID/{ OUR-GUID } if we set the GUID back then the service works again. Any reason why the upgrade process would delete this Key And what do we need to do so the Service keeps working Thanks. The registry entry was created by the code automatically created by Visual Studio 6 when you decide to create a new 'Service' project. I would expect that Visual Studio would cr ...Show All
