• Windows Forms Toolbar and menu items

  Hello everybody.. I have two problems that are making me crazy... i hope some of you can help me.. I'm developing a windows forms app, vs2003, c#, and i have a typical toolbar on the top of my forms which i use as a menu, it has some several toolbarbuttons (some of them pushbuttons, other dropdownbuttons) and i need to change the text color displayed by the buttons, using my own specified color (rgb combination) but i can't do it.. the forecolor property of the toolbar seems to have no effect and the toolbarbuttons don't have this property available, i've tried with the text as images, but it doesn't work because only accepts icon formats (16x16) anything else bigger is not displayed correctly.... On the other hand my second problem is ...Show All

• Windows Forms Create Custom Form Borders

  Does anyone know of any tutorials that show how to build a form in VS.NET 2003 (C# 1.1) that includes custom borders I found a sample that does exactly what I want but it's for VS.NET 2005 (.NET 2.0). Here's the link to the 2005 version: http://www.geekswithblogs.net/kobush/articles/CustomBorderForms.aspx Thanks for any input. - Kevin I don't see anything .NET 2.0 specific, other than (perhaps) double-buffering.

• Smart Device Development Power off/on with EXE on SD Card

  If you run an EXE that resides on an SD card, then while it is running, you turn off, wait a few seconds/minutes then turn back on, will the app continue to work correctly or will it crash because the PPC had to remount the card and reassign file handles I developed an app, runs fine in main memory and runs fine on the SD card. However, when I power off, then on, the app will crash when it is on the SD card, but run fine it in main memory. Any docs, PDFs, URLs that go into detail about this issue Thanks, Hilton That is a simple AV which you can get for any number of reasons including bug in NETCF code or bug in your code. With managed code that most commonly due to managed memory been passed to native c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Content pipeline and "Game Library" projects

  So I made a "Windows Game Library" project which needs an Effect File. I added the file to the project and tried to load it with ContentManager.Load. The client "Windows Game" project invokes the game library which can't find the asset. If I add the asset to the client library, it works fine. A quick look at the bin directory shows that the content pipeline is infact compiling the shader. A curious purusal with .NET Reflector shows that content loading works off the EntryAssembly (and that makes sense most of the time) Is there any way to load content from the currently executing assembly The situation you're describing is working fine for me. I have content files in the "lib ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Access table creation conundrum in VB2005E

  Hello, An Access database was created and opened in VB. This database has no tables. Never had.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using xna with windows forms???

  Is it possible to draw with Xna, on my windows form, if so, how because when you have it draw, the normal way, it automatically pops up its' window, also, even if the 1st one is possible, game components are like controls correct Could somebody also point me in the direction of\ tell me how to use them, the basics, otherwise I wouldn't be asking this question, I just started working with Xna. Because 'the whee is round' and a square just wouldn't cut it. It's not the project it has problems with, its just the code itself. Can you use game components almost just like designer-based controls Like, create labels Could you tell me how then, so I can just put up with not using the designer ...Show All

• Visual C++ Managed C++ vs. C# - any difference in performance?

  Hi Guys! Is Managed C++ faster than C# ~Matt " "Brendan Grant"@discussions.microsoft.com " < "= UTF-8 B QnJlbmRhbiBHcmFudA== ="@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:b465e9e8-d76c-4cff-a8a2-3c5df1d4a28d@discussions.microsoft.com ... In theory yes... but only in very limited cases. Remember that both Managed C++ and C# get compiled into MSIL... so at the MSIL level all things are equal and just as performent. Differences can arise however when it comes to optimizations at the compiler level... and despite my love for C#, I’ve got to admit that those C++ guys have been at compiler writing for a little longer and can likely optimize ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DDS : 360, PC

  Will DDS files that are created for PC work with the 360 is there not some subtle difference between the two or is this something that will be patched up via the XNA runtimes on the 360 upon asset loading ... I may be entirely off track here, but the texture content you stick into the content pipeline is processed and converted to some special format, converted per pixel at build time. Check out Shawn Hargreaves's blog to see how much processing goes on before the content is stuck into the XNB files. I can't imagine they don't convert to a format suited for both the PC and 360 platform.

• Visual Studio Integration between Visual SourceSafe 2005 & Microsoft SQL Server 2005

  Hi; I would like to know if i can Configure VSS 2005 to work with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Best regards, Nancy, I think that I misunderstood your original post. You asked if you could use VSS 2005 with SQL Server and I thought that you meant the development of SQL Server applications and Stored Procedures. However, it is clearer to me now that you want to use SQL Server 2005 as the storage mechanism for VSS 2005. The answer to that question is no. VSS cannot be configured to use SQL Server 2005 as a storage backend. VSS has it's own storage mechanism for version tracking. I am sorry but there is no way to configure the VSS fontend to use SQL Server on the backend. Thanks, Karl Hilsmann Visual Studio Develop ...Show All
