• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Control Support in Cider

  Hi, What is the timeline in Cider for support a Custom Controls Actually ( RC1 ) Not parse the xaml for custom controls Not Add the custom control the the toolbox automatically like Winforms provided Not load and show the custom control on the designer Not manage correctly the Namespace, load correctly the NS if I reference externally the assembly, no project reference.

Unlike .NET 3.0 that is RC1 and will RTM by the end of the year, Cider is part of the Visual Studio 2007 which will be ready probably in lat ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WaitForSingleObject doesn't work for Internet Explorer

  Hi, I start Internet Explorer by CreateProcess: CreateProcess(....., &procinfo) myhandle = procinfo.hProcess; After that I wait for Internet Explorer to be closed: DWORD dwait = WaitForSingleObject(myhandle, INFINITE); This code works fine on XP, but for Vista it doesn't. The WaitForSingleObject returns immediately. So, while Internet Explorer is still running. Does anybody now how to do this properly on Vista Thanks in advance. Klaas When IE 7 launches it starts up with normal permission mode (often called LUA mode) it then checks the URL and if it is not a trusted site, a new Iexplore.exe process is launched in protected mode, with restr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Interfaces

  Could anyone point me in the right direction regarding programming c# with interfaces. I've googled up the subject and whilst there are some good tutorials on how to do it, non of them really explain in simple terms why we should or shouldn't. I just can't seem to get my head around how they work properly. Thank you Parlance, I didn't notice your second post before replying to Robins. That description hits it on the head for me . I think I almost have it. I'm going to work on a few examples to see them in action now I understand why. Thank you both. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VBA Access Forms & Visual Studio.NET

  My supervisors would like to know if they can run a wizard and upgrade their MS Access forms and run them in Visual Studio 2003 If someone can answer that for please. I am VB.NET programmer and I don't believe there is a way to do that, but if there is please let me know. Thanks Mr. Hunter , No, we don't have any special wizards from Microsoft to do what you are asking. Might find better luck searching 3rd party tools on the web.

• Smart Device Development Invisible Window

  Hi guys, I want to have an invisible window so it can exist in the foreground or background and not effect any other windows. Basically all it will do is handle global key events (a hotkey most likely) if and when they happen. If it can then become invisble, that's a bonus, but it's not a huge deal. There has to be a way to make an invisible window, but I've tried CreateWindow with so many different types of windows and had no luck. Could it simply be a matter of not doing anything with WM_PAINT events Would that let the window exist and receive events invisibly Cheers, Dan. You don't need a window to handle global key events. Simply process/filter the windows message in your main message ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compile assembly language program in Visual Studio 2005

  I am curious how to compile an assembly language program from the IDE. The program is in full segment definition and I can compile and link it using ml and link on the command line, although, I would like to be able to do the same thing from the IDE. The only examples I can find are for compiling inline assembly for previous versions of Visual Studio. That said, I have just upgraded from visual studio 6 so the interface is a bit new also. Add an .asm file to the project, right click on it in the solution explorer and select Properties. In properties go to Configuration Properties\Custom Build Step\General and you have Command line: ml /c "$(InputPath)" /Fo"$(OutDir)\$(InputName).obj" ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DBP Submission Platform

  I have a question about the dbp challenge. My xbox360 has just fallen prey to the dreaded " three flashing red lights on the ring of light " issue and, I suspect, will have to be sent in for service. I'm working with support and awaiting their response, but that's not really the issue. I really really wanted my game to be cross platform such that the same code-base built for both windows and xbox360. Would I be penalized if I my submitted solution had projects for both xbox360 and windows, and the xbox360 version was borked I mean, I think I've gotten a pretty good appreciation for what issues must be taken into account when developing for the 360, but since it's out of commission for the time being I obviously wouldn't be able ...Show All

• SQL Server Check the sql server service account

  Hello! I would need to check the name of the sql server service account from inside TSQL. I had one idea about reading from the sysprocesses system table, but that only gives me information about the SQL Server Agent service account. Are there other ways (It has to work for both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005.) Best regards Ola Hallengren There is an undocmented approach using 'registry key reading' in SQL Server 2000 version: xp_regread @rootkey='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @key='SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\SQLServerAgent', @value_name='ObjectName' I'm working onSQL 2005 and will post here once it is successful. ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE annoyances

  While i absolutely love the new visual studio, there are a couple of things that drive me nuts!!! when i right click on a symbol in code (such as a variable or procedure name), i can choose "Definition" and jump to that location. unfortunately, the "Last Position" menu item (that was available in VB6) was removed so now i cannot jump back to where i was previously. when i want to save my file with a different name, i would normally choose "File->SaveAs". this has now been changed to include the file name, which i find to be reallly annoying, especially since i will not be using the same name. opening visual studio is really quick, but closing visual studio takes forever. opening the design (GUI) view takes forever. switch ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP Bug... Or is it a feature?

  Hi all; In a grid's AfterRowColChange I have the following: if CertainCondition this.AllowCellSelection = .T else this.AllowCellSelection = .F. endif This is basically to implement a 'when' for the record the user is in. I have noticed that in some cases the AfterRowColChange won't fire. I have used ReadOnly (Instead of AllowCellSelection) and it works fine.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. my first game problems

  Hi everyone :) I have been having some weird issues with this tutorials code. It is mainly in this area here: myTexture = Texture2D .FromFile(graphics.GraphicsDevice, "mytexture.bmp" ); Which is located in here: void LoadResources() { myTexture = Texture2D .FromFile(graphics.GraphicsDevice, "mytexture.bmp" ); spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch (graphics.GraphicsDevice); } Everytime i run the game it gives me this weird error: An unknown error has occured. The result code was -2005529767. Any ideas what it might be Thanks for any replies. He probably used a gif animation which he renamed to bmp format.

• .NET Development Using System.Net.Mail class to send mail.

  Hi, I was coding a class to send mail via SMTP, but I found that in Framework 2.0 you have System.Net.Mail to do that task. The classes works fine to send mail on a server that does not require authentication. Unfortunatelly, I can't get it to work on a base64 encrypted server. The process of logging in that type of server is easy, so I expect an bool attribute, let's say, "IsAuthRequired", but it does not exists. From what I've read on MSDN documentation, the way to do that is to have UseDefaultCredentials to false, and Credentials must not be null. The problem is that my code do have both these requeriments, but I still can't run it on SMTP auth servers. I've sniffed the packets sent from my app, and t didn't try to au ...Show All

• SQL Server Select into another table

  I need to select some data from one table into another. This is the layout of the first table where the data is coming from; Columns - ExcavationHoursID, ShiftID, UnitID, WeatherDelays, MaintenanceDelays, OtherDelays, BlastDelays, Digtime, And the new able is called UnitDelays and has these columns; UnitDelayID, SHiftID, UnitID, DelayType, Delay Okay so the Delay type comes from another table which has types of Weather, Mainentance and Other I want to copy the details from the original table into the new table.
