• Visual Basic Select Case statement being evil

  The select case statement is out to get me! Has anyone else run into the trouble of having a Select Case statement and one of the case statements has hit if you look at the data, but refuses to hit anyway That probably doesn't make sense... Put it this way... I have, say, a ListBox control that has three IP addresses in it. For argument's sake we'll say the three items are: 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3 These items have the indices 0, 1 and 2 respectively. Now, inside a function that receives a string of data (T) from a network user I have code that's something like this: Dim X As Integer For X = 0 To (ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) Select Case ListBox1.Items(X) Case T 'Code segment 1 Case Else 'Code ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions storing a date

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I’m in desperate need of direction...

  I know you guys are probably overrun with these kinds of threads, and I apologize for making another one. I did my best to look around and get as much info from the other threads as I could, but really I need a personalized response to figure out what I should do. I’m 17 and am currently replying in the process of applying to my local college (game design and development), but stupid me forgot that they want a portfolio for classes like this (windows applications, small games, ect ect). And I have about 2 or 3 months to figure this all out before my portfolio is due. So far I’ve downloaded XNA game studio express, Microsoft Visual C# 2005 express, and the 30 day trial for the Torque game builder. I’m completely new to this and totally lost ...Show All

• Windows Forms Version Number of ClickOnce application

  I want to display the version number of a Click Once application in my About box. Any ideas on the easiest way to get this It appears to be in the MyApp.exe.manifest file, but I'm wondering if there is a better/easier way I'm guessing there's nothing directly in the framework, as the app doesn't know how it's deployed, but I could be wrong. TIA, Bill What I usually do is show Application.ProductVersion in the "else" part [when not ClickOnce deployed]. This way, the "debug" version can be different than the "published" version [if you don't keep those synchronized], but in both cases, you'll see the version displayed. Andrej ...Show All

• Visual C++ About DLLs adres space(wrong information in MSDN?)

  Hi Please look at this MSDN page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d1587c1h.aspx here it writes: "An application can have multiple instances of itself running in the system simultaneously, whereas a DLL can have only one instance." But here http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/356/03/1.html#3 it writes: "Under Windows 95/98, the operating system DLLs, such as KERNEL32, USER32, and GDI32, reside in the shared address space, whereas in Windows NT these DLLs are loaded in the process’s private address space. Hence, under Windows 95/98, it is possible for one application to interfere with the working of another application." So in winnt systems a DLL can have multiple instances.Right If true so is MSDN information page wrong Which on ...Show All

• SQL Server Error 952 Database is in Transition

  One of our SQL 2005 database started to give us "Database is in transition...Error 952". We were trying to Take the DB offline when this problem occurred. Restarting SQL service did not help us. We were unable to do anything with this database as we were unable to obtain any locks. What resolved the problem Re-starting manamgement studio on client machine. Go Figure!
