• Gadgets Controlling a browser from a gadget

  This may be a more related to Vista/IE7, but I'm looking for an in-gadget solution so here goes. I need to collect a token by allowing a user to login through a website. The normal way is to open a browser via ActiveX and monitor it until the process is complete. The opening code looks like this: var ie = new ActiveXObject('InternetExplorer.Application'); ie.visible = true; ie.navigate2("https://loginpage.com"); At this point I can monitor the ie.Document.body.outerText until I reach the page and collect the token. But... The sidebar runs in protected mode, which gives me a protected mode IE, which returns a wrapper object instead of the IE handle after the call to navigate2. Any ideas how to accomplish this Can I write a simple ...Show All

• Visual Basic BindingNavigator Delete Cancel

  I have a BindingNavigator and combobox tied to the same BindingSource. I want to allow the user to confirm a delete after hitting the delete button of the navigator. It appears that the row gets marked for deletion after my BindingNavigatorDeleteItem_Click event handler is processed. Is there no way to cancel the delete activity from within the delete click event If not, then it becomes necessary to store a delete flag and catch another event to RejectChanges. The BindingNavigator component for me is a very unnecessary and stupid thing to use. I'm beginning to agree with you.... now that I've overwritten the navigation, add, deletion and save events. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Mesh in screen space?

  I would like to have a 3D mesh work similarly to a mouse cursor. To do this, I need to setup the world, view, and projection matricies so that it will undo the 3D transformation. I found some code from another post, but it is not functioning correctly. Here is the code: effect.World = Matrix .Identity; effect.View = new Matrix ( 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f); effect.Projection = Matrix .CreateOrthographicOffCenter( 0, 1280, -720, 0, 0, 1); My screen width is 1280, and width is 720.

• SQL Server Excel Export error in RS200SP2 when nesting tables within matirx

  I was hoping someone could help out with this issue....I've got a report I created in Reporting Services 2000 SP2 where I am nesting table elements within the row and detail sections of the matrix. This allows me to have multiple items within my "row" data with column headings, and works perfectly fine within the designer, and viewer, and whenever I export it to any format other than Excel. Exporting to excel results in a "Specified cast is not valid" error. To me this seems to be a bug in the Excel rendering extension, since it seems to be supported in RDL. Has anyone else run into this Is there a fix to the renderer or a workaround that anyone is aware of I'd be happy to post the RDL if anyone is interested. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista GetVersionEx weirdness on Vista. Please help

  I am calling GetVersionEx to get the windows version. I am using code sample provided at http://www.codeproject.com/win32/osdetect.asp . On WindowsXP it correctly returns 5 as the major version. But on Windows Vista, it returns 5 again instead of 6. Has anyone see this issue or any ideas why GetVersionEx returns incorrect value on Vista So far I have tried compiling with different settings of _WIN32_WINNT, reinstalled Vista just to be sure, tried to run this on a different Vista system with the same incorrect result. I also tried GetVersion instead of GetVersionEx too without success. Should I check for some registry keys or something I am stuck on this for more than a day now. Appreciate any help. Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Directx SDK (december 2006) viewer crashes on startup

  Well, the title basically describes what is the problem... I've uninstalled my directx sdk (october), rebooted to make sure things were clean. Then I installed the last SDK (december) and my viewer (directx sdk's viewer for .x and .fx files) simply stopped to work. Whenever I start it, it crashes with the 'send report' error. Any ideas what could've caused this " Ereco wrote: I have the same problem. Any fix Still nothing... I've ran out of ideas of what to do to try to fix it... so, just submitted the error report. Have made a simple project that just plots the mesh on the screen, it's not the most confortable way to work, but at least it helps to test my models until the proper viewer is usable again.

• .NET Development XmlSerialize a System.Drawing.Font

  Hi, I haven't used the XmlSerializer with any built-in types before, so maybe this is a common restriction... But are System.Drawing types possible to serialize When I try to serialize any System.Drawing type, I get a runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.XmlSerializers' I can't find any references to this assembly anywhere on the net. Is it something that hasn't been implemented in .NET yet.. Thanks, Jonas Jonas, You get this error because the type you're trying to serialize is not XmlSerializable (maybe some IDictionary is there or something like that).... so it won't be possible to serialize it as xml.
