• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TabControl Two level

  Hello all I have a TabControl with two levels, meaning some of the TabHeaders are in level one and some in level 2. The bottom level is closest to the content area. This is a default behavior. Now the default behavior also cause the upper level to switch places with the bottom level whenever an upper level tab header is selected. Tab 4 | Tab5 Tab1 | Tab 2 | Tab3* Tab 3 selected and when clicking on Tab 5 we get this: Tab1 | Tab 2 | Tab3 Tab 4 | Tab5* What I want is the upper level to stay upper and lower to stay lower, meaning each level keeps its initial state, like that: Tab 4 | Tab5* Tab1 | Tab 2 | Tab3 Is this possible Itzik here is the code from sdk for custom panel sa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ruls breaking build

  This is in reference to one of the existing threads http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/MessageBoard/Thread.aspx id=327668 Custom rules breaking build Posted on:  09/08/2005 06:11:05 Hi Mike, If we have a script that figures out whether any rules were broken, though, one can not differentiate between the output log entries on the per-rule basis (well, its possible if one keeps information about each rule being used in the script). That is a bit inconvenient and breaks nice encapsulation. Am I wrong or missing something We are trying to make our continuous build fail on some warnings/critical warnings/errors of specific rules available with FXCop. Also, do you know if it ever will be ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Prevent a Disabled Button From Asynchronously Invoking?

  Hi all, In my application, i frequently have codes like this: CmdMyButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { CmdMyButton.Enabled = false; DoProcessing(); CmdMyButton.Enabled = true; } What i want to achieve is, if i click on MyButton, it should be disabled (so that i can't click on it again) until processing is complete. But what actually happened is that, when i clicked on MyButton while it is disabled, the action of clicking on it seems to be "deferred" (or "queued") until after it is enabled again, as if i have clicked on it immediately upon it being re-enabled. It seems like while the button is disabled, it doesn't consume (and discard) the event of clicking, but rather, consume it only afte ...Show All

• Visual Basic Catching and recovering from database exceptions

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Matrix Interpolation and gameTime

  I made a simple cube and created two translation matrices: start = Matrix .CreateTranslation(-20, 0, 0); finish = Matrix .CreateTranslation(20, 0, 0); Then, I figured I could create this simple animation using linear interpolation and the game time, by using the general formula inside a game component: effect.World = Matrix .Lerp(start, finish,     (currentTime - startTime) / (endTime - startTime)); I tried all four permutations of updating the time (ElapsedGameTime in update/draw and ElapsedRealTime in update/draw), although I would think that updating in the draw method with ElapsedRealTime would provide the smoothest interpolation. The problem is that the animation is not completely smooth.  It has some ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Click Once how to not use Certificate and PFK

  Hi , Im wanting to automate the publishing of one of our solutions. It state is requires a Certificate and PFK. I dont need one thru the IDE when I manually do a publish. How can I simulate that in the Build Type I tried by commenting out the SignFile Tasks, but that caused me problems when I tried to deploy it from the website, stating that the manifest was corrupt or missing keys. This is what I have in the Build Type proj file now: < MSBuild Condition = " '@(SolutionToBuild)'!='' " Projects = " $(SolutionRoot)\daily build\MARS_Platform\Tools\MarsServerAdmin\SysAdminTools.sln " Properties = " Configuration=%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild);Platform=%(ConfigurationToBuild.Platf ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Branch a large project

  When I try to branch a folder in the source control explorer it gives me the dialog with "contacting server to perfrom branch..." for 30 to 60 minutes and then I get the message "TF30041: Team Foundation Server could not connect to the database." I thought maybe Sql server was timing out, so I set the remote query timeout to 0 for no timeout but that did not make any difference. This folder has 9 sub folders and close to 500 files total, all source and project files. I branched a couple of folders approx half this size and tho it took a very long time, it completed. I'm guessing something somewhere is timing out and giving up. Is there way around this problem The problem occurrs whe ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Black Window on WPF RTM

  I just came back from TechEd Europe and installed Fx 3.0 on my production machine where I never installed any beta release before. As I open a WPF application, the screen become black. The only way to stop this is to shut down the WPF application (XAMLpad or VS.NET or other) via RDP on another PC (killing the process). Furthermore if I open a terminal service window on the same local machine, I see the window flashing and the ystem become unstable. I read this post ( http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=226400&SiteID=1 ) but I could not find any help or registry hack to solve.

• 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 From what I've seen there's will be no problem with the same file being used for both PC and 360 games. The only changes you may have to make between the two projects is if you're using namespaces that don't exist on the 360 version of the .NET Compact Framework. ...Show All
