• Windows Forms Controlling a form externally

  I'd like my program's main routine to start a loop method that will create a new form call a method on that form let the method finish close the form and start over However, when the loop method calls Application.Run(curForm), it seems to give up control of the form, so doing item #2 (or anything else) is impossible until the form is closed. Is there any way to return control of a form to a class outside of that form Thank you, that does the job. I'm implementing a game (Hexapawn) and I'd like to be able to have the AI system play numerous games against itself in order to train (hence the loops). The game's move/event loop is implemented on the form that I'm repeatedly opening. ...Show All

• Visual C# List<T> and T[]

  Hi, Is there a generic methof that can convert an array of T (T[]) to generic list (List<T>) Thank you, Riady The generic List class does have a ctor overload that excepts a IEnumerable object. This is the way yo create an List from a array, example: int [] myNumbers = new int [ 255 ]; for ( int i = 0; i < myNumbers.Length; i++ ) { myNumbers = i + 1; } List< int > myNumberList = new List< int >( myNumbers ); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Installer - "Change" action does not require admin password in "Programs and Features"

  Why does Windows Vista not prompt for admin password when selecting "Change" in "Programs and Features" Even a limited user is able to add or remove features from our installed product. The strange thing is that the installer prompts for elevation when installing and uninstalling. This appears to be a bug in Vista only (and a pretty serious one at that). On XP, only an administrator can change the set of installed features. Our installer has ALLUSERS set to 1 and ARPNOMODIFY set to 0. Mike Morrison I use a bootstrapper that has a manifest (the bootstrapper not installed on the system, though). There is no manifest on the MSI itself. The MSI can be installed without the bootstrap ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Instant search prompt not working

  I am using Outlook 2007 beta and wish to install the Instant Search component. When I click on the prompt, IE browser window opens, but remains blank. Otherwise, IE works okay.

• SQL Server Running a Stored Proc before report runs

  Hi. I've got a report with 4 different sections - the datasets coming from some tables that are populated via a stored procedure. I'd love it if the the first thing this report did was run that stored procedure and then the data would be available for the actual reporting piece. Is that possible And if so, how do I make it work Thanks! I haven't tried this, but if your dataset's are coming from stored procedures, you could just call your 'data generation' stored procedure at the beginning of your reporting stored procedure. Hope this helps. Jarret ...Show All

• Visual Studio same problem

  A requirement of my reporting system that I'm developing is that it be possible to localize the reports.  They don't need to be localized dynamically -- we can provide different RDL files for each language and report combination. When I put japanese characters into the RDL file I get mixed results. When I export to Excel, it exports fine (except for the chart labels). When I export to PDF, I get the following error: A call to PInvoke function 'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common!Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.CompositionPDF+WindowsGDIWrapper::GetGlyphIndicesW' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention an ...Show All
