• Visual Studio Express Editions combobox problem

  Hi. I want to assign values from one column in database to combobox. My database has two columns. That's the code that I'm using: ComboBox1.DataSource = MaintenanceDatabaseDataSet.MachineTable.Machine_nameColumn However it generates error: Complex DataBinding accepts as a data source either an IList or an IListSource. what should I do You probably set the property to column object. Use column name instead, either by hardcoding it ("Machine_name") or by accessing through data table's column name property (MaintenanceDatabaseDataSet.MachineTable.Machine_nameColumn).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA with Windows Forms - Game does not stay active

  I programmed my own FormsGraphicsComponent like this: public class FormsGraphicsComponent : IGraphicsDeviceService , IGraphicsDeviceManager , IDisposable {   public FormsGraphicsComponent( Game game, IntPtr renderWindowHandle)   {     ...   }   ... } Then used a standard windows form as a base, placed a Panel on it, that I exposed as a property of the form. Starting with almost a standard game, I modified the main program to this: MainForm form = new MainForm (); using (MyGame game = new MyGame(form.RenderPanel)) {   game.Begin();   form.Game = game;   form.Show();   while (form.Created)   {     Application .DoEvents();  &nb ...Show All

• Visual C# Layered transparency

  Hi, Are there any way to do the following: I have a form with two PictureBox components. Both pictureboxes have a semitransparent png image as their image property so that you can see the form background through each of the pictureboxes. My problem is when the PictureBoxes overlap. Beneath the topmost PictureBox I can only see the background of the form, the overlapped part of the other PictureBox is not visible (It's not that easy to explain, but I can provide a image if my explanation is not clear). I need this to work with other components that PictureBoxes also, but this makes for an easier explanation of this problem. Thanks in advance.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FlowDocumentReader IsHyphenationEnabled and non-English fonts

  I am developing an application that allows comparative analysis of the same text in multiple languages. I have two FlowDocumentReader controls side-by-side in a two column grid. The control that shows the text in English is properly hyphenating the words and breaking only on spaces. However, the control that shows the text in a non-English font does not hyphenate or break on spaces. The font I am testing with is the Symbol font for displaying Greek text. I have an XML file that contains the actual text and convert it to a FlowDocument representation through an XSLT. (This is almost exactly the way the "Rich Reading Experiences" HOL does it.) When I convert the XML to the FlowDocument, I explicitly set the IsHyphenationEnabled ...Show All

• SQL Server Including SQL Server Express as a nested MSI install

  I'm working on an MSI-based install that installs a suite of applications. One of the applications requires SQL Server 2005 Express to be installed or already on the machine, but if the user doesn't want that app installed, I don't want to have to bother with the SQL Server issue; however, if that app is to be installed and SQL Server is not already installed, I want to be able to have it installed automatically during our install in order to make it easier for our end users. The obvious answer to this is to launch the SQL Server Express install as a nested MSI install at the appropriate point in our install. Since the SQL Server install is so complex, I was wondering if this would work if I were to launch the SQL Server install's setup.ex ...Show All

• Visual Basic non-modal error

  hello, I have a C# application that calls a VB form in a referenced DLL. The problem is, when I try to run the application on its own, I get an error about how non-modal forms can't be displayed. However, if I have the VB file open and run the dll, the error doesn't come up. Does anyone know what could cause this to happen thanks for any help I'm using frmConnect.Show vbModal, Me to show the form. The error I'm getting is "Non-modal forms cannot be displayed in this host application from an ActiveX DLL, ActiveX Control, or Property Page. The error in C# comes when it tries to do something with the object that cannot connect because the form's error stopped it. ...Show All

  Is there an update on when the sample code for animation will be released Is it something that will be released in a week or so, or will it be more than a month I know there have already been some questions about this, but I would like to know how soon I can progress on my project.

• SQL Server Whats better for Ad Hoc reporting, Relational or AS Cube

  My company is trying to decide which one would be better, creating a report model off of relational tables, or using an AS cube. right now, I use Visual studio for report development. but a big part for the users is Ad-hoc reporting. What are the ups and downs of both (AS cube and Relational table, report model (Ad-hoc). And what would you suggest Any info would be helpful. Thanks! Hi, This question is difficult to answer without knowing the type of database you are connecting to. Cubes give advantages when you need to have a lot of drill down functionality and when a lot of calculations needs to be done. This is because cubes contain precalculated values so that when the user performs a query, not all ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Will VSTO 3.0 managed global add-ins support...

  ...interaction with the document actions pane in Office (Word) 2003 We want to create a managed add-in for Word that will support both Word 2003 and 2007. Ideally, we'd like to create a core assembly that contains the main functionality, and then create a separate DLLs for 2003 and 2007 that implement UI specific stuff (i.e., menu code for 2003, riboon code for 2007, etc). With 2007, we'll be taking advantage of custom task panes. We'd like to have the same sort of interaction with the actions pane in 2003 (just like we do now with VSTO 2.0 document level customizations). Are there any plans to support add-in level interaction with the actions pane in 2003 with the release of VSTO 3.0 Thanks! I think there was a mention ...Show All
