• Visual Studio Express Editions Always Round Up in Visual Studio 2005

  Okay Ive gone threw the forums many times and I have yet to find a clear beginner answer. I would like something that has any number that has a decimal to round up..no matter what the number/decimal is. Sorry if I sound rude Im just a little bit annoyed and not being unable to understand a lot of this. Okay I dont think you are getting the point. Here is an example of my coding...its a calculator for an MMORPG and the amount of in this case tree you have to cut doesnt always come to a normal number. I would like something for all the labels with the lbl in front to be rounded up when button 1 is clicked. These numbers arent always the same so i don't think something like wont work Dim X A ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to stop vs 2005 publishing vssver2.scc!

  How does one stop vs 2005 publishing the hidden system file vssver2.scc! Is this just broken, or is there a work around to stop vs 2005 spublishing this unwanted file.. Thanks. The problem appears to eb that vss 2005 is creating this file as a system hideen file ( which vss file MUST NOT BE).. As a result it cannot be excluded from vs 2005 publish list.. Also vss 6.0d did not create vssver.scc files within \bin... They just need to work together.. ...Show All

• Visual C# Want to sort strings in a collection array, any idea???

  Hi, I am a beginner in C# and want to sort the strings in a collection array.

• Visual C# RegAsm cannot find dependent library when registering a DLL

  First, I must admit I have little knowledge about to assemble and install a DLL, but thanks to Visual C# Express, I was able to do some damage. The class library works just fine in the IDE, integrated into a chat program as a plug in, but when I tried to create an installer for it, it croaks on a call to regasm. regasm myplugin.dll error: RegAsm : error RA0000 : Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.OtherLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified This 'Other.dll' is used by my dll to hook into the chat program and it resides in a folder under the chat program that's not on the system path.

• Visual Studio Team System Security Templates

  Hi The default group "Contributors" that is created is almost perfect for our needs when setting privileges for our developers. However, we do no want them to be able to edit the files in the TeamBuildTypes folder, since those files are for our build team only. It turns out however that I cannot remove the privileges for the Contributors group set on that folder. I do not wish to use an explicit deny on them if that can possibly be avoided since a person can be a member of both dev team and build team and an explicit deny overrules all other persmissions. So, basically, what is my best option here Since mimicking all the privileges manually will take an enormous time for each new team project I would be happy if there ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pulling Data from ContentManager

  I've got a question on why to use the content manager. Say I have loaded a texture into the content manager - paddle = content.Load< Texture2D >( @"Graphics\paddle" ) as Texture2D ; If I want to access the data from the content manager, would I have to put something like this - sprites.Draw(content.Load< Texture2D >( "Graphics\\paddle" ), new Vector2 ( this .paddle1.Point.X, this .paddle1.Point.Y), Color .White); Or is there an easier way then that Cause if I have made a texture variable, then loaded it into the content manager, why couldnt I just call the variable directly like this - sprites.Draw( this .paddle, new Vector2 ( this .paddle1.Point.X, this .paddle1.Point. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tried Everything, apart from what's needed.

  I want the picturebox (pbCrop) to show and be the same size as the selected image, I've tried everything I can think of but none of the solutions that I come up with work. The code is below, at the moment pbCrop is the same size as pbResize and is blank apart from the selected area. I did manage to get pbCrop to the same size as the selected area but the selected area was out of site.

• Visual Studio Express Editions I can't install!

  This is the error: Error 32003.File 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common 7\Tools\vsvars32.bat' could not be opened for write. It won't install! Can anyone help The second guess I make would be that you are running antivirus/spyware/malware software that scans files as they are created. This would temporarily lock the file and the actual installation might get problems writing to certain files like bat files (as they are considered to be executable). If you are running that kind of software you might want to disable it during the install. ...Show All

  Hi, I’m using a Form in the Dialog mode “frmIP.ShowDialog()” & I’m trying to validate the input so as not to be able to click OK button unless there is a string in one of the text boxes. (it would reset the focus back to the text box & cancel the click event) I have using the Validating event of the textbox I want to validate. Although this works when I move focus to another text box, the buttons do not trigger the Validating event when I move to them. The buttons & Form are both set to ‘Causes Validation = true’; As a test, I tried a Message box but this simply gets called then the dialog box closes. How can I validate a textbox which is on a form opened with the ShowDialog() method. Any ideas would be ...Show All
