• Visual Basic Restricting TextBox Input to Letters Only

  I am trying to create a form that has a TextBox control on it for entering a state abbreviation (two letters). What is the best way to make sure that the user enters only letters (no numbers) IsNumeric doesn't seem to do the trick if the first character is a letter and the second characters is a number...I want to be able to restrict user input so that they cannot enter any numbers at all into the TextBox. Thanks! i don't really understand what is meant by "0"c, and e.handled = true (i think it has something to do with whether it is handled, but why do u need it ).(in red) can someone explain Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown( ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) If ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DropDown Menu Buttons

  I've been trying for a while to develop a custom WPF control that acts as a dropdown menu button. I'd like the XAML to look like: <DropDownMenuButton> <MenuItem Header="First Item"/> <MenuItem Header="Second Item"/> </DropDownMenuButton> This should show a clickable region, that when clicked opens up a Popup containing the MenuItems. From then on it should act as a normal menu. My main problem is that for MenuItems to work correctly then they must be inside a Menu element (try putting some nested MenuItems in XamlPad without an enclosing Menu element). Therefore DropDownMenuButton must be derived from Menu, and contain a Popup that appears upon a MouseDown event. Sounds easy Well how do ...Show All

• .NET Development Messenger Like Functionality

  I am attempting to write a solution that consists of a web service running on the internet and a client application running on ramdom users pc's that functions similarly to Microsoft Messenger.   Here is the scenario, the client application will login to the server/web service on startup (similar to MSN Messenger)   when there are updates on the server I want it to notify the client that there was a change (like when someone sends you a message on messenger, the message pops up showing the message). I would really like to avoid having the client constantly polling the server checking if there is an update.   The real world case is more business based where there will be an update to the database on the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WScript.Exec + tf get /all hangs?

  I am having issues with TF GET using it under a WScript.Exec command. The get just seems to stop mid-retrevial. The code snipet I am using is below. It just seems to never finish. The TF executable just sits waiting for something it seems that I can't figure out. The command works fine without the script launching it. Any ideas as to what would cause it to just stop getting the files It also seems to always stop at the same spot. -Ed Abshire -- Code -- Sub GetTFSCode(workspace) Dim tfsExec wshFSO.CreateFolder "c:\source\tfsworkspace\" + workspace WScript.Echo "--- Getting latest " + workspace + " to " + wshShell.CurrentDirectory wshShell.CurrentDirectory = "c:\sour ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Render to Texture

  Hi, is it possible to render my 3d world to a texture instead of the screen If so, can someone please supply a short example of how to do this. FYI - I am using depth buffer enabled =true. I have looked at some other posts regarding this topic, but the code no longer seems applicable since the release of version 1.0. Any help is much appreciated. Dave PS XNA is really good fun !!!! Thanks guys !!!! You have to render to a RenderTarget2D. Set that as your render target. Clear your render target. Render what you want. Resolve the render target. Set old render target back (or null for BB). call GetTexture() on the RenderTarget2D. ...Show All

• .NET Development Kerberos delegation problem

  I have hunted through a serious number of blogs and web pages, but I just can't get delegation to work with our WCF application. To save some space, here is a link to the source code of a small test app that I am using: http://members.shaw.ca/murraypeterson/rcstest/ You can look through the source code to see the various settings I am using (NetTcpBinding, ClientCredentialType = TcpClientCredentialType.Windows, ProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.None, AllowedImpersonationLevel = TokenImpersonationLevel.Delegation, etc.). The scenario for testing is simple. Two machines, both members of the same domain (machine1 and machine2). Two users, both members of the domain (user1 and user2). On machine1, run the test ...Show All

• Visual C# Intellisence Doesn't Remember Last Session

  I have visual studio 2003 installed on my computer. The intellisense was working just fine until I installed VS 2005. I don't know what happened but now everytime I start VS 2003 it doesn't remember any of the recent intellisense commands. Ex: If I type "System." it should come up as "System.Diagnostics " instead it selects the first item in the list. If I repeat the process in the same session it goes right to "System.Diagnostics". Is there anyway to fix this I found the option at Tools => Options => Text Editor => C# => Formatting. It was already checked so I unchecked it, cleared the history and rechecked it. I will see if that solves the issue ...Show All

• SQL Server One to Many Cube Relationship

  Hello everyone, I'm new to the cube environment and I would appreciate some guidance. My data structure has 2 fact tables, account and household, where one household can have one or many accounts. Each fact table has 3 or 4 dimensions attached. I need to create a cube that contains information from both cubes. For example, a count of households, a count of accounts, a total balance of households, and a total balance of accounts. I tried using linked measures and dimensions but they don't seem to be behaving the way I'd like. When I slice the data by an account related dimension, the account balance and count is correct, but the household balance and count is the same for all cells, and visa versa. How can I get this running correctly ...Show All

• SQL Server Authentication across internet

  From what I have understood, Reporting Services could be configured to use Basic Authentication. In this way, a user can access a RS-server across the internet and he/she will be prompted for a valid username/password when trying to access. However, from what I can understand this username and password will be sent uncrypted over the Internet (from the client machine to the RS-server), right My problem is, I need to give access to users acress the internet to a RS-server. The users uses all kind of operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOS tec). And the communication needs to be encrypted. How would you recommend me to implement security for this solution I guess some kind of "Forms authentication" will have to be used Bu ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Layer Past Zoom Level 17?

    Hello people,    I have set up a custom Tile Server to serve up some Hight Detail tiles as a custom layer: I have set the VETileSourceSpecification.MaxZoom property to 18, as my TileServer can produce tiles at any magnification.  It all works fine at normal zoom levels, but once I soom past Zoom Level 17, where VE Tiles stop - then there appears to be just vast amounts of grey/gray Anyone have any ideas on how to allow VE to render my custom layer at a higher zoom level   I don't care if the normal tiles don't display.  All I need is for my custom layer to render. e.g. //Add layer tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification(); tileSourceSpec.ID = "HighDetailLayer" ; tileSourceSp ...Show All
