• Windows Forms Problem with DataMember of DataGridView

  Hello, I am having some problem with flitering a dataset and setting the same data set as the source of a datagridView. customer_list.Tables[0].DefaultView.RowFilter = "Surname like '" + textBox1.Text + "%'" ; this .dataGridView1.DataSource = customer_list.Tables[0].DefaultView.ToTable(); this .dataGridView1.DataMember = "customer_list" ; But it is not working.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need HELP reading a sprite file!

  I've got an old game from 1996, it's really simple. Has great sprites I want to pop into an XNA project, but I'm unsure how to read the file because it's in a strange format. The file extension is .AR I know the .AR files contain multiple frames of sprite animation, and you can see the internal sprite names with a hex editor. I was thinking maybe it's a unix archive but I doubt it. Anyway, how do you recommend I read these Thanks, Glenn. I did actually send an email to the project manager for the game, we'll see if I get a response. In the meantime, I think I can video capture the animations I want and make my own sprites. Are there any design patterns for sprite animation The XNA kit prob ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS not indexing new folders

  Thanks for your time. I'm using WDS 3.0 with the unc/fat patch to index a network folder.  It appears as though my installation of WDS isn't indexing newly added folders.  There are folders that are over 3 days old that don't appear to be indexed - if I search for files contained within these folders, the search doesn't produce any results.  I've verified that the index now option is enabled.  If I rebuild the index, the files in the newly created folder appear in the index and search results.  I've verified that the new folder appears in the list of Included Locations, and is checked. Any ideas   Can you check if an application with the name uncfa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Render loop", performance

  Hi, I have a little scene with 517 diffuse polygons that I animate in a Page using: protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext) { //...create rotateXform this._modelGroup.Transform = rotateXform; base.OnRender(drawingContext); this.InvalidateVisual(); } I get terrible framerate, about 4 fps, and I've seen more complex scenes (like http://thewpfblog.com/ p=36 ) perform at least 20 times better. Is the render loop above bad or is it probable that it's something else in my setup I can post code tomorrow if needed. Thanks, Jonas The answer was to use the VisualTarget.Rendering event. It doesn't give a very steady framerate, and there seems to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Same Word can appear in multiple dictionaries - related to rule CA1704 - Recognized Word 'Num'

  One of our projects requires the word 'Num' to be a recognized word. I implemented an xml custom dictionary and added 'Num' to the <Recognized> words section. FXCop (1.35rc1) still reported it as a violation of Rule 'CA1704' in class IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly. After examining RuleUtilities.ReloadCustomDictionaries, IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly.IsSpelledCorrectly, and IdentifiersShouldBeSpelledCorrectly.Check it looks like 'Num' is added to the unrecognized words by default via a resource file (Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk.Resources.Unrecognized.txt) and then added to the recognized words via my custom dictionary in the ReloadAdditionalCustomDictionaries method. The problem is that the word is in 2 dictionaries (unrecognize ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I make a custom Control?

  Okay, hopefully I'm phrasing this question correctly. I'm writing a sort of black jack game. I have, in my project, a card class. One of the properties of the object contains the image of the card, which I can use to pass the image to a picture box on a form. This works okay. But what I want to do is actually place the card object itself on the form. How do i create a class from which I can instantiate an object that has a visual element that I can actually drop on a windows form, and possibly add events and so forth... ala a custom control If someone could maybe point me to the correct article. I've been searching, but i don't think I'm phrasing my question correctly. Thank you and best regards ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 Include Folder configuration madness

  Hiya, We're in the process of testing one of our add-ins against VS2005 Pro RTM, and along the way we are encountering some very, very odd behaviour. The latest to surface relates to the Visual C++ include folder configuration. In VS2002 and VS2003 you can simply grab a VCPlatform object directly from EnvDTE::Properties:Item(L"Platforms") and use it irrespective of whether a solution is open. Unfortunately, the Platforms property has gone in VS2005, to be replaced by "IncludeDirectories", which contains the raw (i.e. including macros) include folder configuration. So far, so good...except that we still need a VCPlatform object (or something related to it; VCProject or VCProjectEngine should do just as well) to expand the mac ...Show All
