• Visual C# Application design question - data downloads from internet

  Hi everyone, I have been wracking my brain over this and simply can't seem to think of the problem any other way. So I thought I'd look to see how other people would approach the problem. Basically, what I'm facing is this. My application is intended to provide a GUI-based way to view data that is displayed on websites. This involves screen-scraping - downloading web pages and then parsing them for the data I want (no way around that, unfortunately). I have an object designed to store the parsed data, which is stored in flat files. The object returns the data when requested, or if the data hasn't been downloaded yet, it is supposed to download the data from the required web pages - this will happen when an MDI form is opened that requests ...Show All

• Smart Device Development turn off WZC

  How do you turn off WZC or notifications in .net CF 2.0 for PPC2003 I'm using OpenNETCF to make a WiFi connection, but it fails stating WZCSetInterface (how informative), so maybe I need to turn WZC off     Or at least I want to stop those popups abour new APs, as we want to control connections manually.   of course, OpenNETCF have a forum, except that the only people on there are people like me asking questions, and 90% of the posts are unanswered.  Maybe the project has been abandoned, who knows OpenNetCF.org has their own forum: http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/default.asp CAT_ID=4 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to do effects like flashing?

  Hi all, I have tried the following code to make the screen flash. The variable flashInt is updated whenever the game is updated. But this code do not work. Maybe the ColorFill do not support the alpha value using (Surface backbuffer = graphics.GraphicsDevice.GetBackBuffer(0, 0)) { Color c = new Color(255, 255, 255, (byte)flashInt); graphics.GraphicsDevice.ColorFill(backbuffer, new Rectangle(0, 0, Window.ClientWidth, Window.ClientHeight), c); } So what do I do in order to do the effect in efficient way Do I need to create a texture with white color and then draw it by updating the alpha value Thank you very much I'm not sure just how muc ...Show All

• SQL Server JDBC Integrated Security problem

  Hi, I am using the latest 6/26 JDBC driver to connect to sql server 2000 server. My url is jdbc:sqlserver://hostname:1433;integratedSecurity=true;. I was getting the following errors "Invalid integratedSecurity property value:true". Any suggestion to resolve this problem. Thanks. Hmm not really sure what the best way would be. I would create a windows dll and call from the Java app into my dll to use Windows impersonation APIs. This looks promising though: http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/02/25/javavsdotnet.html page=4 ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot Open Database after Publishing

  Hi All, I have developed a database application using c# and SQL Express 2005. I have coded a connection string that works fine on the development machine but upon publishing to another machine I am getting the following error message: Cannot open database "name of database" requested by the login. The login failed. Login Failed for user "machine name\user name". The remote machine has SQL server express installed. Now on the development machine the machine name and user names are different to that on the remote machine. I am using Windows Auth. The application successfully runs on the remote machine. It even updates the same database (as mentioned in the issue above) on a different form which all connection strings etc ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VertexBuffer and GraphicsBuffer

  i'm just starting with all of this, so please bear with noob questions. could someone shed some light as to what are the differences / applications of VertexBuffer vs. GraphicsBuffer if GraphicsBuffer is locked vertexbuffer (or a byproduct of a lock) then why is it some functions use VertexBuffer (SetStreamSource) as a data source and others use GraphicsBuffer (DrawUserPrimitives). Also, if anyone knows what really happens when you "lock" the vertex buffer, I'd appreciate the data. I'm sure my confusion will pass sooner or later.... thanks. GraphicsStream is a helper class for writing data to and from vertex and index buffers, and is more efficient than using arrays. Now, the problem I see is th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Graying out CustomUI

  Hi, When an Excel sheet is in Edit mode Some RibbonUI's are grayed out. I want the same behavior for my CustomUI. How can I detect that the sheet is in Edit Mode . Hi, I think both, I am working on an Excel 2007 VSTO project. Within this project I have customized the RibbonX. In this CustomUI I added some buttons which have all the GetEnabled attribute. When the sheetSeletionChange event occure in my ExceI sheet 2007 document I can toggle these buttons, so the GetEnabled calback works, but this is not exactly what I want. I noticed that the standard Excel buttons (like Conditional Formating button etc) in the RibbonX turned gray when the user enters the Formula Bar in the Excel sheet or the same happens when the user enters ...Show All
