• Visual C# How do I force VS2005 to use NET 1.1

  I am working on a bunch of code that was written for NET 1.1 and will not work with NET 2.0 due to changes. It is looking like trying to fix the code to work under 2.0 is going to require more time then I have for this project. So the question is how I can force this code to use the 1.1 libraries instead Thx Joshua Baker " Now there is no way to do this.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 Official Dev Kit vs. "the XNA thing"

  Here goes, The official dev kits intergrate within Visual Studio and compile on PC and send the executable to the machine and launch it via remote debugging. This also allows for breakpoints, steping thru code, etc. Will this new XNA subscription and Game Studio Express be similar to this idea I'm dreading things like relying on Windows support and burning it to a CD to play it on the 360. (For example) Q: How can you debug XNA-based games running on the Xbox 360 A: Debugging on the console is supported through a remote debugging connection from a Windows desktop running XNA Game Studio Express. Just incase you can't find the FAQ ;-) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Unicode VS ANSI encoded files on Windows Mobile Devices

  Hi All, I'm very much aware of the sole use of unicode on Windows Mobile devices and that .NETCF2.0 strings are all unicode based.  I've developed an application that reads INI based files.  I created this file on my laptop and ignored the fact I saved the file with ANSI encoding.  This did not give me a problem reading the file though.  It worked just fine.  I haven't yet written code to write to the file so I've no idea whether I will get a problem.  I've since realised that this file is ANSI based so I saved it a Unicode just in case.  Obviously it doubles the size of the file. I'm going to be using a lot of text based files in this application (some rather large) and wondered if ANSI would ...Show All

• Visual J# java.net.URL - where is getPath() ?

  Hi there! Please look at working java code URL url = new URL(name); String truncatedName = url.getPath(); J# compiler on .NET1.1 complains that no "getPath" method out there. Do I have any other workaround than URL url = new URL(name); String host = url.getHost(); int pathStartIndex = name.indexOf(host) + host.length(); String truncatedName = name.substring(pathStartIndex); J# SDK complies with Java SDK 1.1.4 and in that method URL.getPath() is not there. This method seems to be introduced in later java versions. You should use getFile() method instead, then remove (if any) in that string to get the getPath() string as shown below :- URL url = new URL(name); String file = url.getFile(); if (f ...Show All

• .NET Development UserNameToken and KerberosToken together

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 Merge Module too bulky

  Hello, I have a windows forms application using .NET 1.1, MSDE, and CR, that I deploy on CD. Now that I've migrated to .NET 2.0 and SQL Server Express, the Crystal Reports merge module (CrystalReportsRedist2005_x86.msm) is now 75MB instead of the 15MB or so. My application won't fit on a single CD. I hate to think that my distribution costs are going to double. Is there any way to create or get a slimmed-down version of the merge module that doesn't contain all the dlls I don't need For example, I only deploy to English, I don't need all the other languages. I've tried using previous versions of the merge modules, but so far no luck. I would appreciate any help at all. Thanks, Thanks for the ...Show All
