• Visual Studio F1 not going to correct topic or can't find page

  My MSDN help is messed up, it used to work fine. But now when I hit F1 it reports that if can't find the topic, though it's in there when I search. I also reports wierd topics, like I look for 'printf' and end up with HTML Designer Is there any way to correct this problem, I've tried re-installing MSDN that didn't work. Do I have to fully take down my dev system to get this back up and running. Thanks for reporting this. We have been experiencing instability of the OnlineF1 service for a period of time now. The operations dpt at Microsoft was actively troubleshooting the issue this morning. And it should be resolved. Please let me know if you still having trouble using F1 feature.

• Windows Forms Trying to tell which item set off an event

  (Sorry if this is easy or impossible. I'm still reasonably new to C# and can't find this anywhere.) I have created a program containing something similiar to: PictureBox[] Images = new PictureBox[Total]; Images[0] = new PictureBox(); Images[0].Click += new EventHandler(Clicked_Click); The thing is that all Images created this way use the same EventHandler, as I can't give them all seperate ones because the value of the variable Total might change at some point. I want all Images to use the same EventHandler, but I only want the Image clicked upon to be affected when the click happens. So my question is: Is there a way to tell WHICH image was clicked on, or is there a better way to do this The value of sender is &q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Modeling

  What is the best free/cheap 3D modeler out there By best I mean a good combination of capable and easy. I have used Maya while playing with UT2004, but the free version won't export .X files. I have a copy of 3DCanvas pro, but I find it lacking somewhat. FBX is a 3D scene description file format originally designed for interchanging data between 3D applications like Max and Maya. It is an open standard and many 3D applications have FBX exporter/importers. Microsoft have provided an FBX importer so that you can import FBX scenes into the content pipeline. Autodesk also have a free FBX SDK so that you can easily write your own exporters/importers for FBX. Cheers, Leaf. ...Show All

• .NET Development pulling info out of a string(xml) in c++?

  I am new to XML and I don't really know how to access the information in c++. I have some code that is returning a directory and file tree to me in a string that has xml code in it. I need to know how to get all of the information pined between the href tags and stick them in a vector. I just don't know how to parse the string easily. I could write my own string parser specific to this case but I would rather not. Any thing out there already If you need a sample file I can post a simplified version. And if you need code I can post that also just let me know. Thanks a lot Matt I figured it out. I just needed to write it this way _variant_t dirXML = (bstr_t)bstrResponseText; hr = xmlReaderPtr-> ...Show All

• Visual C# Is this a bug of C# IDE

  This is the scenario: Open a cs file for editing. Spliting the window. Edit the file in lower part of code window. Then try to rename a variable in upper part of window with typing. Normaly that a rename mark should be shown and with mouse click or shortcut i can activate rename action. But in this case that doesn't show any more. Even when i remove the split of file, or try with diferent variable. That behaviour is lost for good from that point on. I need to close the file and open again to have such behaviour of rename assistance from IDE. Yep, that looks like a bug (I can reproduce). I suggest you log it at http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/feedback/ and post a link to your feedback here so people can vote... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Best practices for integrating WF & WCF?

  Hi, I was thinking about designing a SOA platform on top of WCF, where WF gets the task to orchestrate the services. So I was searching for ways WF could interoperate with WCF. Currently I see only two approaches to do so: a) workflow communicates with the outside world via usual local services, which might be backed by WCF Services. This approach is shown in the expense reporting sample. b) workflow communicates via direct calls to WCF Services. This approach is shown by Roman Kiss in http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CustomRemotingForWorkflow.asp Comparing this two approaches I would say following (though I'm pretty new to this topic and might be wrong): I like in a) that it's transparent whether one is using a light weight local serv ...Show All

  Hi, I have an application developped with vs.net 2003 for a smart device with windows mobile 2003. I'm trying to migrate it to vs.net 2005. Compilation is fine. I created a cab project, but I'm not able to debug it. I'm getting an error message saying that the version of activesync is not supported (3.8).

  Hi I wanted to know does Visual Studio Pro MSDN have an MS Access Developers component. And do you get a run time version with the licence. What I’m after is being able to write the databases we do now without having to buy all the Team Leaders MS Access licences and just use a runtime version instead. Thanks in advance for any assistance John Thanks for your prompt and helpful Reply Cindy. Looks as if Office Proffesional 2003 may have to be set up on all the computers.

• Windows Forms Focus Problem

  I have two text boxes and ten buttons, I want to be able to click a button and have it add text (numbers 0-9) to which ever text box has focus. Is that possible Ive tried: if ( this .uiItemNumberTextBox.Focused) { this .uiItemNumberTextBox.Text += "1"; } else if ( this .uiSecondItemNumberTextBox.Focus()) { this .uiSecondItemNumberTextBox.Text += "1"; } using both if focused and if focus () but neither seems to work. Any ideas Tom it's just a textbox but stored in code. That's all, no difference :-) Example: //global: private TextBox theFocusedTextBox; //some textbox focused event: void TextBox1 _Enter(object sender, E ...Show All

• .NET Development WebBrowser Component. Navigating 50,000+ URLs

  Hello, I have posted this in the "XML" forum too, however people suggested that it might be posted here as well: I have been using HTTrack combined with ASP.NET and SQL Server to archive web sites for Washington State. HTTrack fails to get all of the references from a web page, many of which can be found by using the DOM interface. With that said, I am working on a C# application that will crawl a list of URLs (about 55,000) and extract any references to web documents missed by HTTrack. My C# application uses the Web Browser class (have tried the axWebBrowser class as well) and the IHTMLDocument2 interface. If I use my application and crawl about 5,000 URLs it works like a champ. However, once I pass the 5,000 mark I r ...Show All

• .NET Development x64 .NET Framework Installation

  I have a AMD 64-Bit Server that I have installed the x64 .NET Framework upon to support my SQL Server 2005 Standard installation The installation was successful and I see the application framework listed when viewing the Add/Remove Program list.

• Windows Forms bootstrapper ExternalCheck order

  Is it okay for the ExternalCheck of one prerequisite to depend on an earlier prerequisite I'd like to write an external check program (for a SQL Express SP1 install with a custom instance name) in .NET. Before running this installer, the end user might not have .NET installed. Are all of the InstallChecks executed before anything is installed, or are they interleaved with the installs themselves Thanks. Yes... it's a bit fancy though, you need to use something called "schedules". Check the J# bootstrapper package for the best example. It requires .NET Fx to be installed. It's a little different since the External check is not a .NET based binary, so there might be a complication... but ...Show All
