• Smart Device Development Error when closing threaded modal dialog.

  Hi, I am getting ThreadAbortException when my ShowDialog completes its work. I have created a thread and called DisplayInformation, which creates form instance and call its ShowDialog (means form displayed as Modal).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Model Exporting From Maya (.fbx)

  I have a question and concern regarding the .fbx model exporting from Maya. Problem: Whenever I load a model into my game that has been exported using the latest .fbx exporter plugin from Maya the model is arranged such that some of the pieces of the model are lined up along its x axis. I did some research on the .fbx file format and found out that while it was designed to be an open document 3D model format, it has been grossly revised by just about all modeling programs which have edited it to suit. Which is why you can't export a model in Maya and then import it into Max and expect it to be the same. My question is this, being that the .fbx file format is flaky at best; what make and version of the .fbx exporter/importer is XNA designed ...Show All

• .NET Development Why choose SHA512 over SHA1

  Hi, I need to create some hash values on some large files (say > 100MB) to make sure contents has not been changed. A little test showed me that creating a hash using SHA512 takes approx. 6 times longer that using SHA1. I assume that SHA512 is more secure that SHA1 :-) - but will this also imply that SHA512 will "discover" changes in files that SHA1 will not Kr. Soren If you only need the hash function to detect that a file has changed (the common case you want to check that a file was downloaded corectly from somewhere) then the security of the used hash function is not relevant. You can use MD5 as well for this type of task. The security of the has function comes in to pla ...Show All

• Visual Basic HScrollBar not accepting Maximum value

  when running this code, the hscrollbar will accept any value. however, once the form is finally displayed, the hscrollbar will change it's maximum value to either 0, 22, 54, or 246. in binary "0", "10110", "110110", or "11110110". i have stepped through the code with the debugger and have verified that i am specifically setting it to other numbers (i.e. 7, 31, 255, etc.). i have also specifically set hbar.maximxum = 7 for debug purposes but when the form becomes visible the hscrollbar acts as if i have set the maximum to 0. is this a known bug i have searched MSDN to no avail...

• Visual Basic Usercontrol outside form boundaries! Urgent Please

  Hi all, I managed to create my own usercontrol Calendar. Everythings fine. After I finish it I am planing to share it with the comminity but before I do that I have to solve one critical issue. As you can see Microsoft DateTimePicker control can be shown outside the form boundaries. It does act like an another form but I am sure it is not. it is controls itself. But my control stuck with the Form boundaries. I dont want to use another form to show my usercontrol outside parent form. I am sure there is a solution for that. I saw a project for Visual Basic 6.0 once but I cant find it now. I mean if VB 6 can do it VB 2005 should do it blindfolded. isn't it I am using VB 2005 and waiting for your urgent helps. Thank you!!! ...Show All

• Windows Forms CollectionEditor questions Names in left pane

  Hello all, CustomItem is a class which inherits Component. I then created a strongly typed CustomItemCollection which inherits CollectionBase. Next, I wrote a custom editor which inherits from CollectionEditor. It works well except that I can't figure out how to access the (Name) property in the PropertyGrid. I would like to change the names in the left pane away from Class0, Class1, Class2, etc. based on one of the properties in my CustomItem class. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions. Hello mangelp, I believe GetDisplayText is VS2005, we are still using VS2003. I can't use the default because I need to change it after one of my properties has been set.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Looking for lab or sample on WCF security

  I am new to WCF and want to learn about setting up security between server and client. I have read Keith Brown's article in the August MSDN magazine, which explains things clearly but I need more sample code, showing particularly how to configure endpoints, bindings and behaviors to set up message-based and transport-based security via the app.config file. I have come across a couple of blog entries with sample code, but they are from earlier times and the APIs have changed sufficiently that they don't build any more.   I am now using RC1, the latest. (Trying to figure this out from just reading the docs is HARD!) Craig, I presume you mean to chack this setting on the server I looked all over th ...Show All

• SQL Server How to store an MS Word doc in a sql 2005 table

  Hello, I want to store the contents of an MS Word document (or a brief Word extract) in a database field. This document could contain carriage returns, boldface, etc. I have tried storing the Word doc in fields of type nchar, text, and sql_variant but they do not keep the Word formatting. I found that the "Extended Properties" attribute of a field seems to retain these properties. (Though if I recall right, Extended Properties has a length limitation and is a pain in the #*&_*^! to access) What is the "right" way to do what I'm trying Keep in mind that we may want to view this document under either "Query Analyzer" or print a hardcopy version.
