• Smart Device Development Using Resources

  Hi I have a solution with two projects : 1) Smartphone 2005 project (s_ui) 2) Pocket PC wm 5.0 project (p_ui) Project 2 (p_ui) has a usercontrol which is to be added in a form in s_ui. This Usercontrol (usrLogin) has to be multiple languages depending on the culture info on the device. It should detect if the device is using "Danish" da-DK or english. So I have made to resource files (resx) in the p_ui project, one named Resources.resx and the danish one called Resources.da-DK.resx. The two files contains the values "Test" - "Hello" and for the danish "Test" - "Hej". When the control is added in a s_ui project form, the resources does not change for my string. But if I make the two ...Show All

• SQL Server Permissions

  I posted a problem with connecting programmatically last week. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=590672&SiteID=1 Nobody seemed to have any suggestions, however since then, I've mucked things up and recovered to the same problem and now I've mucked things up again in a different way. Also last week  I didn't mention that I was running my connection through remote desktop. That apparently can be a problem although not the fix. I'm still getting the ServerVersion member status set to "'this.conn.ServerVersion' threw an exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' when I try to create a SqlConnection . I still don't understand why. But when I try to open the connection I now get the follo ...Show All

  this is a follow up post about my problems with custom controls. essentially i am creating a graph custom control, however the graph must display any number of lines, consequently i cannot say (in generic.xaml) <Canvas> <Polyline.............../> <Polyline.............../> <Polyline.............../> ................... </Canvas> because i never know how many lines to create. this means that i need to change my CS code to allow for any number of lines. this will mean i have a situation whereby either the company who uses this software can say <lineChart......................> <linePoints................/> <linePoints................/> <linePoints................/> ....... ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get known of a function's arguments that is in a dll?

  The problem is that I only have the .dll, nor the .lib or .h, thats why I dunno the arguments accurately. That fact is that I've got a program in Labview (so I've got the source code also) , and that program uses the mentioned .dll. So I know the name of the functions, but there are some problems around the arguments' types, although -as I see it- I gave the same types in visual c++ as they were used in labview.. :S I've got a labview source code. Here are the prototypes of the dll's functions: (That's how labview shows): long DevNew(Cstr arg1, CStr arg2, unsigned short int arg3); long DevWrite(unsigned char arg1, CStr arg2, long arg3); long DevRead(unsigned char arg1, CStr arg2, long arg3); long De ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista MFC Multi-UI-Threaded Application Hangs under Vista but not Classic Windows theme

  Hi, I have a MFC multi-ui-threaded application that hangs under Vista theme but not under Classic Windows theme. My application is a MDI variant  I have a Main window that contains multiple child windows.  However, the parent window and each child window run in their own ui-thread, CWndApp.  Sometimes all my windows loads nicely.  Sometimes, they don't. Please give me some ideas on what I should look at to get all the child windows to load correctly. Hi, Oliver! I'm glad to tell you the hung up was due to SetWindowPos on WM_ACTIVATETOPLEVEL. I would really like to understand how window drawing is different between Vista and Classic Windows. I learned that Vista has a composition ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista slow boot

  Every week or so, my two different installations of Vista Ultimate, release version, take a very long time to boot up, say 20-30 minutes and run really really slow, etc. One configuration is an ASUS P5W64, 2G, dual core, the other an ASUS P5AD2, 1G, single core. Both are setup for mirrored RAID SATA. The hard drive activity light stays solid thoughout this period. It is like the drives are being reoganized or something. Automatic updates are turned off. They also take forever to shut off. Power cycling does not necessarily fix it. Anyone have any thoughts or similar experience Once again I ran into boot up problems this morning. I had not done anything to the machine when I last shut it down. Same old ...Show All

• Visual C# execute method from another form

  I would like to have a class with many methods used by all my project's forms. but how can access those methods available from inside of a form's class. thanks in advance, Edward well you simply create an instance of the class you wish to use, from any class (or any form, technically a form is a class file) and then execute the method however the method or property in question MUST be made public for other classes to access that method outside the class itself which has those methods. Example: //class Test public void DoTest() { //do stuff } //main form: Test theTestClass = new Test(); theTestClass.DoTest(); //will execute this method, since its accessible and exists in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adding new window during Checkin-event

  Hi.. I am trying to add a window which selects the reviewer during the checkin event. How do i capture the Checkin- event and how do i start the .exe file that opens up the window Thanks Aravind There is no check-in event on the client. There is a Check-in event on the server. But subscribers of this event will be notified after the check-in is complete (this is a post event) For your case you have to write your own check-in policy.

• Windows Forms GUI problem

  I have a problem I don't know how to solve: There are two controls on my form, lets assume two TextBoxes. The Leave event of the first TextBox disposes the other one - so if the focus is on the first TextBox and there is a mouse pressed on the second one - there is an exception because the second one is disposed and can't get the focuse. I know it is weird but I need it. Help anyone Thanks okay I guess I have to explain why the hell I want the component to be disposed. well - all the form is refreshed. Old components are disposed and new ones are created. ofcourse I can avoid diposing it and do it later, but the question is must I do it later - because my only problem is the mouse click on other component ...Show All
