• Windows Forms Windows MessageBox: limit to number of lines?

  Is there a limit to the number of lines that will show up on a single Message Box that is created from a call to the MessageBox() function If so, what is that limit, and what is the behavior if the limit is exceeded I think there is no limit until the limit of a string has been reached ... the problem being is the display where the messagebox will go off the screen if you try to fill it with loads of lines. How many lines are you thinking about displaying On a side note, remember MessageBox's are just for user notification purposes :-) ...Show All

• .NET Development Need guidance for a client/server system (programmed using visual basic)

  I'm programming a small client-server system that will be used in a small office of up to 10 computers on the same network. The server computer stores a database, and I'm writing a program to go on the server to be in charge of communicating with the database, and also communicating with the client programs installed on each other computer. The client programs will often request data from the database which the server software will send back to the client software. Also the server software will need to message the client software with certain events happening etc. So basically I need to program a communication system between a server program connected to several instances of a client program. Various messages will need to be passed back ...Show All

We have added remote debugging support (from the VSTA IDE) to the VSTA deve team's wish list for vNext! Since Machine Debug Manager is used to support debugging for the Microsoft Script Editor, I believe that it does not support assembly debugging. Regards, Gary Depue ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with the default Windows Game in XNA

  When I go in debug mode, what happens is that it fails, and the problem is caused by this: this.GameComponents.Add(this.graphics); If I remove, however, the program does not work as it should, as all it does is display a grey screen that doesn't refresh itself. What's wrong with it For hardware info, I'm using an Inspiron 1000 laptop, with a SiS M650 graphics card. I know it's not because I'm missing a file, because I have downloaded Visual C# and the XNA Game Studio Express. I'd be willing to bet that your graphics hardware doesn't meet the minimum: Q: Will the XNA Framework require D3D9 hardware A: A Direct3D 9.0 card, capable of supporting Shader Model 1.1, is the minimum.

• Visual Studio Reference from csproj to vcproj fails to build using MSbuild

  Hi, We are having an issue building a VS2005 solution using MSBuild. Our solution includes a c# project that has a project-to-project reference to a VC++ assembly project. The VC++ project has Common language runtime support set to None, but overridden on some of its source files to /clr. This builds fine within the IDE but fails to build using MSBuild from the command line. Looking at the MSBuild output, the /reference: for the VC++ assembly is missing from the CSC command line. If we enable CLR support at the project level everything builds fine, but this is not a practical option for us – there are hundreds of source files in these projects but only one or two that require the /clr switch. The link has a small example solution ...Show All
