• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA w/ Word 2000 - keep form on top of all applications

  Does anyone know of a way to make a form stay on top of all applications or even on top of all open Word documents I want a form that stays on top even if I minimize its parent Window (the document from which it was launched). I want it to stay on top even if I click on another Word document. Is it possible I've used the SetWindowPos function, but as soon as I minimize the form's parent, the form minimizes as well. I've tried using the SetParent function and the GetDesktopWindow function to make the desktop the forms parent, but for some reason the GetDesktopWindow seemed to return the same handle as the form's parent Word document. Any help would be greatly appreciated. That's called a modal fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question of build?

  Hi, I have this scenario, I have some Team Project called "W" I did some branch of code from W version 1.1, so, I want to know if I run or build my Branch Project this automatically takes all componets from the base project in this case "W" My branch project have only for expample the version 1.2 so what happens when I build my branch project Hello Ray: The build of branch Project doesn’t affect the base project. It only takes the needed files in the branch project. When you create a build type the wizard will let you choose which project to build. The branch has a complete copy of the project file. The TFS does it well at the efficiency and the isolation. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Will two versions of .NET interfere with builds..

  I'm just looking for some assurance. On our TFS box we have team projects built with .NET 2.0 and we're adding some projects which will be using .NET 3.0 - will there be an issue using TeamBuild Is there a chance of any part of the .NET 3.0 framework interfering the code using .NET 2.0 - even though they're seperate team projects The .NET 3.0 framework has not been installed on the server itself, only on local clients/workspaces. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you. You should be able to install it anywhere as it's just some extra assemblies. The different versions of .NET are designed to run side by side. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugger looking for CRT0.C

  Hey guys, When I'm running my debugger, I am getting a strange problem that keeps occuring. If I click run, the debugger follow throughs the whole source code and gives me an access violation of 0xC0000005. If I do a run to cursor, then I am forced by the debugger to provide the location of CRT0.C. The program runs fine without the debugger, just doesnt output the correct results. Would anyone know the reason for that Thanks Robbie It sounds like you have an access violation somewhere in your code. I believe crt0.c is the source for winmain. It's probably where the access violation is being caught. Did you try handling exceptions as they are thrown (Under Debug | Exceptions ... and then pick access violation under Win32 Exc ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there anyway to clear all handlers for an event?

  hi, I am just thinking if there is a way to remove all handlers for an event, like button1.Click += new MyEventHander(OnButton1Click); button1.Click += new EventHandler(OnButton1StandardClick); ... I think you can hook up as many as you want handlers to a single Click event. The question is how to remove all of them Is it the only way that remove one by one by using -= Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server comparing two integers and returning a third

  I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to compare two integers stored in a table to return a third. I have two integer fields in one table and two in another like this: Table1.SomeNumber1 = 1 Table1.SomeNumber2 = 2 Table2.SomeNumber1 = 2 Table2.SomeNumber2 = 1 I need to be able to compare the first number from the first table to the first number in the second table. If the values are different I need to set a variable or field to 0. If the numbers are the same I need to set my variable or field to 1. I need to follow the same procedure comparing the second number in the first table to the second number in the second table. In addition, I need to be able to do it in a single select statement.

  Hello, I have attempted to populate an outgoing message property and then read it from within my operation, but it does not appear to work (the message never shows up on the incoming side). Is this the proper procedure I'm using named pipe binding. using ( new OperationContextScope (( IContextChannel )channel)) { OperationContext .Current.OutgoingMessageProperties[ "test" ] = "testvalue"; channel.MyMethod(); } ... void MyMethod() { Debug.WriteLine( OperationContext .Current.IncomingMessageProperties[ "test" ]); } Using a message header instead works.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D Engine Using GameComponents and no Scene Manager Design Help

  I'm currently working on a small scale 2D engine. I have a simple Sprite:DrawableGameComponent class which loads a texture, rotates, scales, and draws to the screen. I then inherited a Player and an Enemy class from Sprite. (My thinking was that sprite already has most of the data stored that I need for an Enemy class, and I can just add update code for AI in the overridden component update method.) So my first question is this: Is that the wrong way to go about this Would it be better if I had the Enemy class inherit directly from DrawableGameComponent and store the Sprite data inside it Now currently everything works, I have Enemies popping up all over the place and the player moving around. Fun stuff. My next step was adding collision ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .NET Framework 1.1
