• SharePoint Products and Technologies Assign Permissions to People in a list

  I have a list of employees information in a HR Sharepoint site. Is there a way making the sharepoint automatically assign permissions to people in the list Help would be appreciated. If you lok at the Markup in the Master Page for the site, you will notice that there are some security assertions made in the MSterPage to limit what folks see what in regards to the SiteAction Menu. Not knowing exactly WHAT you did when you say "You deleted some groups" I would say that I don't have enough infomration to help you ... Can you create another site and if so, does it have the SiteActions Menu If Not, Can you create a new Site Collection, New Site and does IT have the menu.. My Thought is tha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Please help me im new, debugging trouble

  is there any way to create an xbox 360 game out of the template, write the code, develop the game, and then debug it on a pc, and the reason for doing this, is that i dont have the money for a creators club memborship right now, some one help No, if it's a 360 game, you have to run it on the 360. You can however create a PC game and run and debug that just fine using XNA. Typically there is very little work that you have to do to get your XNA PC games running on the 360 when you finally do have the money and the opportunity to play it on the 360. I would recommend develop your potential 360 game on your PC, but every now and then make sure it builds as a 360 game so that you know you haven't used something ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unhandled exception in System.Windows.Forms.TabControl

  In debugging my application, I tried to delete a record from a bound datagridview and discovered that I didn't have a delete command for that particular table adapter. Because I've encountered problems modifiying the dataset before, the first thing I did was to exit the application and make a backup copy. I went back in and added the delete command to the table adapter (dataset designer -> properties for the table adapter -> add the delete command). No problem there. As soon as I tried to go back to the design view of my form, I got an error: The control System.Windows.Forms.TabControl has thrown an unhandled exception in the designer and has been disabled. Exception: Duplicate component name 'GUIDDataGridViewTextBoxColumn'. Co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiler Error C2659

  For my program, im making a highlighter rich text box. Its a multy-tab programers editor. Since I have to define my rich text boxes at realtime, I decided to create a class that automaticaly sets all default settings and allows easy changing (font, color, highlighter, events, etc). Everything works fine, except when I try to define event functions. The code I entered is a replica of what VCPP .Net generates when assigning functions via the visual interface, changed to fit my context, but it complains that im trying to set a value to a function. [code] using namespace System; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; ref class HighlighterTextBox { public: HighlighterTextBox(RichTextBox^richtextbox) { this->textbox=richtextbo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Poor Forethought

  I have run into a problem which I should have foreseen. My program lists Part records and their S/N's On my form I have listbox1 which is bound to an Access dB and is filled with S/N's for a given Part number. Listbox2 is unbound and is populated with items from listbox1 so that I can manipulate the list. Now that the list is manipulated to contain what I want I need to get this list of S/N's back to the dB. My problem is I can't get the items from Listbox2 back to Listbox1 because Listbox1 is Bound to the dataset. does anyone have any thoughts as to how I would go about this thanks tattoo why dont you just add the new records into the dataset then do the update So if ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Change Brightness

  How do I modify the Brightness of the entire screen in an exclusive fullscreen DirectX7 application using DirectDraw I am aware that the Brightness and Gamma controls may not be available on all video cards. If this is the case, how do I write some code that modifies the brightness of the Back Buffer Surface (ddsb), regardless of the video card DirectX 7 is an ancient relic by technology standards - dont be surprised if you find it hard to get advice/information/examples anymore. I would recommend using a gamma ramp - its not universally supported (but you could write a fallback DMA method for drivers that dont). I wrote some example code in VB6 over 6 years ago - available here . Modifying brightness (or implementing a custom gamma ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to modifiy the language of the openFileDialog

  I am running on an English OS but I need to show a openFileDialog in French or English depending on the user. How do I do that. I have tried playing around with the current thread culture but nothing seems to work. I have noticed that Word offers that possibilty. Thanks for the help The OpenFileDialog dialog is implemented by c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.dll. The strings it uses are stored in the DLL's string resource table. You'll need the French language version of Windows to get the French version of comdlg32.dll. You can't switch between languages. Note that this isn't really a problem. A French speaker will use a French version of Windows and thus automatically get the correct dialog. Same for ot ...Show All

• Visual C++ WC_TREEVIEW and TVN_SELCHANGED (Selecting Item in Treeview)

  i have a treeview where i want to check which item is selected. the docs say that the treeview will send the message 'TVN_SELCHANGED' to its parent but it can't find it. it seems as if this message is not sent. I checked every message that was sent to all parents and "grand"-parents of the treeview up to the main-window but neither a TVN_SELCHANGED was recevied nor any other message that i could use to identify the selected item. thanks for the quick reply! i checked the WM_NOTIFY messages, the only codes that arrive in the parent message-proc are NM_CLICK, NM_SETCURSOR and NM_CUSTOMDRAW but no TVN_SELCHANGED! Does the TVN_SELCHANGED shared its id with another notification, or is it unique are the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Please Explain Variables

  Could someone please explain to me about variables because I think I must be misunderstanding the concept. This is what I think they are: a variable is a holder for a piece of data; text, a number, a date etc etc. For example Dim abc As Integer = 2. I would then use abc in a piece of code to use the number 2, At this point, I now get confused. Can the same variable hold different values or am I stuck with one value per variable ie can I have abc to be 2, then later it may be 35, or 7 etc. (depending on the entry into a textbox) - I want to make a variable then assign it to a textbox so that the entry in the textbox becomes the new value. Many thanks for your help and advice!! Steve Howdy! A variable is exactl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. using XNA Framework with no shader capability display driver???

  I have Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphic card with no support for shaders. Is it possible to develop a 3d application with XNA Framework under this condition.When I run a tutorial project I got the message "Both a valid vertex shader and pixel shader (or valid effect) must be set on the device before draw operations may be performed." I am new to XNA concept. Before I was developing with MDX 1.1 and I can develop 3d application with out shader support. So how can do this with XNA... I haven't looked much into XNA yet, but is there no way we can write our own renderer Is there a specification of the interfaces it would need to implement, and a way to load it (on the PC) instead of the standard XNA renderer If not, w ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 smart device exe doesn't run

  VS2005 smart device exe doesn't run My Pocket PC 2003 app has just one form, and a "hello world" msgbox from a button. I add a Smart Device Cab Project to this project. I the set its Primary output to my test app. This then creates all my dependences. These dlls are all set to exclude = true. Now because my pocket PC has just been hard reset (So I can test the set-up) I set the exclude = False for all the dlls. This I thought would be enough to create me a cab file for my test exe to run. I copy over the built cab file to the Pocket pc and run it from there. The app sits in its correct folder in program files but when clicked just doesn’t show. Any help would be most welcome.
