• Visual FoxPro Foxpro memo field in ado (or ado.net)

  Simply silly question... anyway of getting the output of Console.Write to somewhere nice (like the Output pane of VS) on the 360 Yeah I'm just porting code that already exists and works on PC... I just wonder why Console.Write doesn't do Trace.Write at the end... I just hate API calls the go nowhere... Had a similar issue with printf on Windows apps why go nowhere either remove the API or make it do something... Not a biggy, just wondered if there was a way ...Show All

• .NET Development Allocating buffers using callbacks

  Hi, How can I allocate buffers using callbacks in pinvoke to allocate memory as needed. Can someone provide an example for this. Thanks! OK then I guess you'll want to use one of the Marshal.Alloc methods to allocate the memory. You may have to store the pointers to the memory blocks you allocate somewhere so you can read the contents after the API returns and finally free the memory. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to disable Undo/Redo tracking in a FlowDocument?

  I have a FlowDocument which I'm displaying in a FlowDocumentReader . I'm dynamically altering the content of the document by adding and removing Sections. When I remove Sections I get a StackOverFlowException (caused by a huge number of recursive MarkupWriter.RecordNamespaces calls). It would appear this is caused by the document trying to record the deleted sections using  XamlWriter . It digs through the removed section, into a BlockUIContainer , into my view model in the datacontext etc etc before blowing up. I'm still stuck on RC1 for the time being, so maybe this has been addressed. But in the mean time, I'd like to just disable Undo/Redo tracking for the FlowDocument , I don't need it, even if it was working it would just ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums More points in routeItinerary?

  Hello people, i ' d really appreciate if someone can help me with this one. I need to get more intermmediate points in a routeItinerary object after querying directions with getRoute() method. Sometimes, when there is a long way on the same route, one step could be several hundreds long. I need to get steps like 25 miles long.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tutorials Thread

  If it's not too much trouble, could this topic be stickied I am just wondering if we could have a main thread that carries links to all the tutorials. In other words, someone makes a thread with a new tutorial, and then, they post the link to it here with a description of the tutorial. That way, others don't have to search through a whole forum for just one topic. Just an idea to make it easier on everyone.   On a side note, I plan on linking this thread to another thread titled: First XNA Program Development Team (FXPDT). Take a look at it. Thanks for your time. Also, I've added some tutorials for you all for now.   P.S. Since the tutorials are publicly viewed and linked to, I don't think you need permission to ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating a object without type information

  Hi all, Is there any way i could create an object in a server application and send it to the client which doesnt have type information Thanks, Suresh. You shouldn't bind to remote objects, only to local ones. Of course the data source object could come from a remote service, but that's another story (see the "Data Transfer Object" pattern). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Multiple transparent colours?

• Architecture When should I create another instance?

  If I have a loop and I have to use another object each time I iterate. Should I instantiate this object for each step, or should I instantiate it outside the loop By doing it outside the loop I might have some problems concerning getting "ghost" information from the previous iteration. But, by doing it inside the loop (for each step) I would slow down the whole algorithm, besides consuming more memory... Any opinion on this CanUHelpMe wrote: Hi, I didn't got the answer yet. if i am using c# 2.0, should we instantiate the variable inside or outside the loop. my major concerns are performance(highest priority) and less memory usage(middle priority) regards' Without the knowledge of what the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding Solution items

  Does anyone know an easy way to add solution items e.g. readme.txt, log4net config files to a solution using gat. I dont think the normal vstemplate method supports this. I also need to process the files to replace parameters in these files Yes, unfortunately there is a bug in VS causing the "auto-open" of added files which is really a pain if you're adding multiple items at the same time. Although I seem to recall that my team used an alternative way that didn't opened the files, I'll check this tomorrow and give you an update if there may be a way to avoid this. ...Show All
