• Visual C# Anonymous Methods & Object Events

  I never did like how I HAD to hook an event to a class method signature. If I wanted to hook an event to an object instance within a function, that I only needed in that function, I had to create an event handle in the class. Thanks to anonymous methods, I can create my event handler body in an anonymous method from within my code. The problem is that I don't know how to 'unhook' the handler from the event, because the even doesn't expose the multicast delegate. psuedo-code: [code language=C#] form_OnClick(...) { Something s = new Something(); s.SomeEvent+=delegate(object sender, EventArgs e){this.a = e.a;}; {...} s.SomeEvent.Clear() //How do I do this {...} } [/code] Thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Indexing Options Not Retained For Drives

  When I open Indexing options there is an Outlook folder. I add 3 hard drives to the Included Locations. WDS 3.0 starts indexing. Life is good until I reboot XPx64. The Indexing options are back to only indexing the Outlook folder. Any ideas Steve Bland Sorry, I thought the settings were being lost on boot, but the last time I restarted XP, WDS did not loose the settings. I will keep watching for a correlation of events, perhaps it is triggered by drive letter reassignment or initiating new drives as I have been doing a bit of that lately. The drives I expected WDS to continue indexing were not re-assigned, so I expected WDS to continue indexing them. ...Show All

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

  Hi, I was wondering how I can make a box, or any shape using Direct3D. I'm making my project in C# since it's simple and powerful. How do I make my project show a simple shape. Most objects are usually created via some 3d modelling package such as blender which you can get for free or 3d studio max (which is not free). It's how models are created like the ones you see in most of the newer games like Doom, Quake4 and so forth. PS: The other posters are also right on the spot :D I hope this helps. Take care. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to end loadtest when test completes

  I have a coded webtest which loops through and pull back information on 500 files. Playback of the single user test runs, on average, in under 15 minutes. Now I want to create loadtests of varying # of users to see how end time of the test run is affected. If I set the duration to 1 hour, the loadtest run for the full hour. Is there any way to end the loadtest after all of the virtual users are finished looping through the 500 files Thanks. ~ Lew 1. From the load test editor, set the Percentage of New Users under the scenario to 100. This property is used to control caching in a load test.

• SQL Server Many-to-Many MDX

  I have a measure called MyMeasure. There is a dimension called Account There is a dimension called AccountGroup that groups many accounts so it references the cube through a Many-to-Many relationship. The account group has a field called Group Level.

• Windows Forms Datagrid help - events & getting current row etc...

  Hi guys, I have successfully added a datagrid to my project and bound it to a datasource. I have set it so that the values of my datagrid can be changed by the user, and this is what I want. The datagrid contains essentially two columns, for x and y coords. Their is a 3rd column on the far left, not sure what its called but it seems to contain the cursor indicating which row is currently selected. What I want to do is this: whenever the user selects a different row I want to set the x and y values in that row to the x and y values of a instance of point class. I am not sure what event to use, and a little hazy on how the code would go. If someone can help point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Th ...Show All
