• Windows Forms Saving contents of a graphics

  Is it possible to save (and restore) the contents of a graphics Graphics.Save only seems to save the properties, such as transfromations, but not the contents. See the example in Visual Studio help under Graphics.Save. My aim is to construct a vertical line cursor on a graph and move it with the mouse. I know how to get the mouse position, but in order to move it I need to restore the picture to what it was before the cursor was added, then add the new one. Paint your graphic into a bitmap, then render the bitmap with Graphic.DrawImage in the Paint event handler. There's sample code in this thread . ...Show All

• Architecture DLL expertise

  Is there a book or consolidated web resource that provides advanced details of DLLs Some of the things I want to study in depth: 1) binding an executable to a specific version of DLL (that is, to resolve the addresses of imported functions at compile-time). 2) pre-mapping of DLLs to different fixed addresses. 3) relocating DLL code, as it is loaded from disk, can make it potentially non-shareable between processes. What exactly causes this 4) Can a DLL referenced in C++ code with #import be either explicitly or implicitly linked, or does it only permit implicit 5) In C++, when is it appropriate to use "#import" My own guess, regarding question 5, is that #import has two purposes: 1) To allow the registry to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Elevating an IE7 toolbar to Integrity Level: Medium

  Hello, I have an IE7 toolbar that needs to write to an Access DB that resides in the Program Files directory. However, because IE7 runs in Protected Mode, the toolbar does not have access to write to the Program Files directory. So, I tried to move the Access DB to the ProgramData directory. Now, I don't get the Access Denied error, but the toolbar doesn't write to the DB that is in the ProgramData directory. Instead, it writes to some VirtualStore directory. Has anyone run into this Does anyone know how to elevate an IE7 toolbar so it runs with an integrity level of MEDIUM Thank you, The integrity level is for the entire process. You can try to use the following command line tool to lower t ...Show All

• Windows Forms ToolStripRenderer

      I am using the ToolStripRenderer class to apply custom styles (such as gradient background color) to toolstrip. In derived class i have overriden the OnRenderToolStripBackground  method and used linear gradient brush to paint the background and it works fine.     But i just want to know if doing this custom painting will affect the performance ( i.e. time taken to paint the control)  that we will get without using the custom painting     The code i have written in OnRenderToolStripBackground   is as follows: protected override void OnRenderToolStripBackground( ToolStripRenderEventArgs eventArg ) {        &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio AssemblyInfo task in an Incremental Team Build process

  I'm looking to use the AssemblyInfo task on GDN in a Team Build process. I know it wasn't necessarily designed with Team Build in mind but the problem I'm having is that I only want to update the assemblyinfo in the event that the assembly itself is rebuilt as I do incremental builds rather than a clean build every time. Importing the versioning targets file into the Team Build script rather then each .csproj means that all assemblyinfo's are updated up front before any compilation is attempted. Other than changing to the latter approach, any ideas how I might achieve this The only way you can do this is if you know when something is going to be built incrementally. With the current version of MSBuild thi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Smartbridge Alerts

  I too am receiving the "entry point not found" message. I have very little technical knowledge and would appreciate assistance in any fashion. thanks. Helen McLaughlin   Ok, I think I got it solved here. Here's what I found. After searching my system for files with PSAPI.dll in the name, it returned 4 files that were Verizon Online references and one of them had a subheading of SmartBridge. All 4 were an older date than my system/32 PSAPI.dll file. I renamed those 4 as PSAPIOLD.dll. Since each had different subheading names there were no conflicts. I restarted my system and the error message had departed. Hope this helps. Bob S. (viobass)   ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to use emulator to develop bluetooth program?

  I want to develop a program with bluetooth communication, I have already install the bluetooth usb dongle on my pc, and activeSync4.0. but I don't know how to connect the emulator to bluetooth or how to map serial ports. Would anyone tell me how to do that in detail Thanks a lot !! XRobin Sorry, but the DeviceEmulator does not emulate Bluetooth hardware. To map a PC serial port into the emulator (even bluetooth serial ports), go to the emulator's File/Configure dialog, and in the peripheral's tab, use the "Serial Port 0" dropdown to select your PC's serial port. Inside the emulator, "Serial Port 0" is known as "COM1:". The Help menu in the DeviceEmulator walks you through this in a l ...Show All
