• Windows Forms How Do I get destination URL for NewWindow Event in C# Web Browser

  I have a client application in C#, .net 2.0, which uses the built in web browser control. I have implemented the NewWindow event in order to find out when the user launches a new window via window.open() in HTML/JS code. 1) In my event handler methof, I would like to check the destination URL before deciding whether to cancel (e.cancel) the action or allow it to go on. But I have not been able t find the destination URL anywhere 2) I have noticed that the Session is not handed over to the new window, which is causing me a lot of headaches. For popups that need the session, I would cancel the new window and instead start my own browser window, with the same destination URL. (New windows using WebBrowser seem to inherit the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh.TextFromFont

  I've used the following function: Mesh.TextFromFont(...), so now i have a mesh containing my text. I want to set its size or atleast get it somehow. How am i doing so How about getting the bounding box of the mesh to determine its size, like this: Vector3 min = new Vector3( ); Vector3 max = new Vector3( ); using ( GraphicsStream vertexData = mesh.LockVertexBuffer(LockFlags.None) ) { Geometry.ComputeBoundingBox(vertexData, mesh.NumberVertices, mesh.VertexFormat, out min, out max); mesh.UnlockVertexBuffer( ); } Then if you don't like the size it's at now, you can scale it while rendering with your World Matrix.

• SQL Server What is the best algorithm to use?

  I am new to DM and I am not sure which algorithm would be best to use. I am trying to build a custom comparitor application that companies can use to compare themselves against other companies based on certain pieces of information. I need to group a company with 11 other companies based on 6 attributes. I need the ability to apply weightings to each of the 6 attributes and have those taken into consideration when determining which 10 other companies each company is grouped with. Each group must contain 11 members, the company for the user logged in and 10 other companies that it will be compared against. At first I thought that clustering would be a good fit for this but I can not see a way to mandate that each cluster contain exac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code coverage in IIS

  Hi, I have read the previous threads around code coverage and IIS, but could not find a solution to my problem. I am running VS 2005 Team Edition for Developers on win2k3 with IIS6. The web applications project gets published to my local IIS installation and I have some test code which loads IE and automates some of the web site flows. I would like to get code coverage data from running these tests. So far, I tried changing the local test run config to instrument the dll in the /bin directory of my IIS webroot. But VS ends up with empty code coverage information. I also tried manually instrumenting that dll with vsinstr and collecting data with vsperfcmd, with no success. Btw, I have verified that the dll does get loaded by debugging it. B ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SharePoint Portal... Web Parts Broken?

  On my portal sites home page, I can remove web parts just fine but adding new ones poses two problems. First, the "Left" zone is the only available target, and second, when I add a new part to that zone I get a " An unexpected error has occurred. " message.

  We've been combing the forums and the Connect database for bugs, feedback and suggestions around the application model. We still have a small amount of time to consider any other feedback you may have. So this is the thread that you post your latest likes or dislikes with Game, GameComponent, services, etc. Please scan the other threads before posting here, I'd like to just gather things that haven't already been discussed or reported elsewhere.

  Is there any posibility to store only time and not date in sql server Even if there is no data type to support it, is there any round about way of doing it There are many approaches for that, storing time in a datetime column (with the date of 1/1/1900) storing the seconds / minutes after midnights (in the appropiate granularity as you need it) storing time as a string Depends on how you want to work with the data.

• .NET Development ReflectionProblem:GetFields

  The MSDN says:"The GetFields method does not return fields in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which fields are returned, because that order can vary." 1: why doesn't return in the declaration order;what will decide the order returned 2:Does GetPropertys or other like API return in some particular order. 3:MSDN doesn't metion the return order about GetPropertys,does it mean it return in a particular order. I'm not sure why they don't guarantee a specific order, but the fact is that they don't. That means you should never rely on it. The same applies for GetProperties and similar methods.
