• Visual Studio Team System Redistributing team system dll's

  I have an application that references "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls.dll" but my application will not work unless I copy that dll to the directory where the application is being run. The end-user's machine has this dll on it, but my app doesn't recognize it. Is it legal for me to redistribute this dll with my application I noticed that it is not in the Redistributable folder that comes with the SDK. If I cannot redistribute it, is there any alternative for making my app work Thanks. Ok, I have installed Team Explorer, however it can't seem to find the dll. I tried changing the current working directory to the privateassemblies folder where this dll is, but I still keep get ...Show All

• Visual Basic What To Install From VB Installation CD To Let Users Run My Application And Not Enter VB

  The best way for me to do what I want to do is install on all PCs (using VB installation CD) the minimal requirements to run my application which uses VB 2005, ADO.NET to read/write to an Access database, and Crystal Reports. I ask you what, specifically, should I install on all these PCs from the VB 2005 installation CD After that the next thing I will do is I give each PC user a shortcut file (having a nice icon that says database on it) which runs the exact same executable on a shared drive. My application already has the capability to tell users if someone is already actually using the database via a warning message. The hope is that only one person will use the database at a time. There aren't many users so this sho ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Modeling

  What is the best free/cheap 3D modeler out there By best I mean a good combination of capable and easy. I have used Maya while playing with UT2004, but the free version won't export .X files. I have a copy of 3DCanvas pro, but I find it lacking somewhat. FBX is a 3D scene description file format originally designed for interchanging data between 3D applications like Max and Maya. It is an open standard and many 3D applications have FBX exporter/importers. Microsoft have provided an FBX importer so that you can import FBX scenes into the content pipeline. Autodesk also have a free FBX SDK so that you can easily write your own exporters/importers for FBX. Cheers, Leaf. ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating arrays of fixed size of PInvoke

  Hi, I'm working to support some code which was written in C but needs to be interfaced from .NET. In my application I support both .NET 1.1 and 2.0. Thanks to C++/CLI I had no problems getting things working with 2.0 but for 1.1 there are still some customers who're interested in this support. Basically I have a few structures which needs to be passed to the C functions through PInvoke. Currently the structures look like: [ StructLayout ( LayoutKind .Sequential)] public struct MyStructA { public int nType; [ MarshalAs ( UnmanagedType .ByValTStr, SizeConst = 256)] public String strDescription; public int nLength; } [ StructLayout ( LayoutKind .Sequential)] public struct MyStructB { ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Automatic resize of texture?

  Hi, i’m trying draw on screen a Texture2D of 6830x2500 pixels, but when i load the texture and gets the size of image i get 2048x2048, cutting the image. I have tried 2 methods, getting the Texture2D only with graphicdevice and name of image parameters, and getting graphicdevice, name of image parameters, and size but i get the same size always 2048x2048 ( i see this putting a breakpoint ). What happen with this Thnx, and sorry for this poor english. XNA does resize and reformat your texture during loading to something that your graphics adapter support. In your case the maximal texture size is 2048*2048. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Adding roles to WorkflowRoleCollection

  Hello, I'm developing a workflow with ASP.NET authentication. I have assigned some event handlers in the workflow a WorkflowRoleCollection in their Roles property. When I want to fill the WorkflowRoleCollection with the roles that can raise the event, apparently I don't do it right. The problem is that when I raise that event I get an exception saying something like "authorization error in eventhandler guardaHorari1", and by checking the exception details I've thought that the problem is that when it checks the role of the user that tries to launch the event agains the workflowrolecollection, it doesn't find it there. I fill the collection this way: public WorkflowRoleCollection rolsModificadors = new WorkflowRoleCollection(); ...Show All
