• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I write a program that echoes the key pressed to the screen?

  I created a Console Project in VC# Express. I made a while loop, in which I want to check if a key is pressed, and then echo that to the screen. If no key were pressed, the loop should continue looping. Also, any ideas how I can do that for a Logitech gamepad For gamepad support see: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/media/joystick.asp Also check out the XNA framework. http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/XNA/default.aspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help Integration Generated Setup

  Hi, I have created a setup program using Help Integration Wizardin Visual Studio.NET 2005. I have created a *.HxS file which I use in Help Integration Wizard. When I use this setup to install Help Files in Visual Studio.NET 2005 it correctly installs it. After uninstalling this setup when I try to run this setup programm again it runs fine but help files are not installed, though one sees the Help Topic in drop down box of Filter.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) OrderBy with GroupBy

Key , GroupRows = group } Why is LINQ adding the group key as the first column in the generated ORDER BY I can capture the generated query on Profiler and simply remove the group.key from the ORDER BY clause and I get the results I expect; Is there a way to enter more than one field for grouping In that query what I really wanted was to be able to have the BookName available on my parent sel ...Show All

• SQL Server Cube Design - Number Max of Dimensions

  Hi all, Some cubes into my project have been designed containing 11 dimensions Is there a number max of dimensions The performances look fine so far but I was wondering if it will be a good idea to split these cubes to have a limited number of dimension per cube. Thanks a lot for your support Juan Sorry for my english... I meant 'browse' the cube thanks to Excel (Add_in). My tests of performance have been done to measure : - performance to process cubes - performance to access cubes with Excel If I understood well, the design has a direct impact in the processing of the cube but not in the browsing of the cube. Hope to be clearer... Cheers Juan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FlowDocument management

  Hello, I have a large number of FlowDocumnt's that I would like to maintain within my project and programatically open and modify them within different PageDocument viewers. Ideally I would like to have each document within its own XAML file then access contents in the code behind something like: FlowDocument flowDocument = new FlowDocument( "SomeReport.xaml" ); I've been able to embed the flow documents as resources and embedded resources, however this just doesn't feel clean and would require a factory pattern for ease of use. I've also been able to access them as fies and deserialize using the WPF examples, but again, I'd like them compiled in and accessible as objects if possible without wrapping them in a Flow ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Automaticly deploy cabfiles

  Hello, I've developped a program with visual studio 2005 for pocket pc. When the battery is empty the pocket pc has to do a cold boot. I place the CAB files in a directory that installs the cab after a cold boot. However I always get the message to reIinstall the file. For other files like sql mobile I don't get the confirmation to overwrite. How can I made it so that a cold boot is done and the CF 2.0 is automaticly installed Thanks Did you try blange's suggestion of setting the registry values to '0' That may do the trick, alternatively you probably could just delete the keys out of the registry as well. Other than that, I don't know. ...Show All
