• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Release Builds

  Not sure if I'm being blind, or if its something VC Express doesnt support, but i dont seem to be able to create Release builds. I use VS2005 on my work machine and I'm used to the dropdown at the top (next to the (play) button, which lets me toggle between Debug and Release, but in VC# Express that is greyed out. Is this a limitation of VC# express, or just a dodgly install - I recently had to reinstall VC# and XNA as XNA projects stopped loading with a message of "Project Type not supported". When i clicked the rgister button i got a message that it was already registered (a registry key not deleted on uninstall ). Anyways - can anyone else do release builds or is it just me Neil PS (I do have a release folder wi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CF2 Treeview key handling problem?

  I recently upgraded my application from CF1 to CF2. Form1 has a Treeview on it. Using CF1, when the treeview received a Keys.Up or Keys.Down key,it would select the previous or next node in the treeview. Now using CF2, it does nothing when it receives a Keys.Up or Keys.Down key. Is this a bug in CF2 or is this how a treeview is supposed to work If it's a bug, does anyone have a suggested workaround or do I need to patch the bug with my own node selection I just tried this and it seems to work just fine for me. Are you sure the treeview control has focus and is actually receiving the keyevents What kind of device are you using How did you upgrade your application It's possible that when upgrading a ...Show All

• SQL Server export OLAP in SSAS 2005 to excel pivot table

  Hi genius, Nice to meet you here! When developing BI programs with SQL Server 2005, I got this problem: Users want the report should be exported in office excel 2003 format, and stored in PIVOT TABLE. We have decided to use OLAP tech in SSAS(SQL Server2005 Analysis Services) to generate cubes. If we just use excel as a client tool, and create a pivot table which connects to the cube database, it's ok. But, the users want to download the excel file from a web page, further more , they want to filter the data through the web page. How can I do Is there any other component needed Help inline.

• SQL Server Error 4064 after attempting restore backup?!

  Hi, We have a little problem for you: We have 2 servers both running sqlexpress2005, both have service pack 1 installed, both have the same db (same tables etc.) both have the same users with the same passwords. Everything is identical. What I want to do is move the db. I am attempting to do this by making a backup of the db and restoring it into the second machine. (I am not sure of a more practical way to do this without stopping the SQL server). This is the problem, the backup process works fine, without error, but when restoring the copy to the other server ,it loses the dbowner property and all default users when attempting to connect recieve a 4064 error even though all the password for users are there. Very strang ...Show All

• Visual Basic FrmMain= StartupForm but with conditions....

  My app. has several forms but only one main form (FrmMain) which has to shown up on application start.

Every User can have several Proyects So I want on app.start to be the Main Form be visible but not enabled yet because first I need to check: - If there exist(s) users in the database or not (Table Users) - If so if this (or these users) allready have a Proyect defined (Table User-Proyects (=User-Id)) According to these situations in the foreground (active form) an auxiliary form should be shown before we can enable the Main Form.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to find missing numbers

  I am trying to figure out code to determine which numbers are missing from a column within a datagridview based on a number entered by the user. In other words, if the user enters 10 into a textbox and there are 3 rows of data in a datagridview that contain 2, 5, and 7 in a column named Number, then I need a string result to be "1 Or 3 Or 4 Or 6 Or 8 Or 9 Or 10". Can anyone help me I'm sure it has to involve For, Next statements and possibly some If, Then statements, but I can't follow the logic and put it to code. For an added challenge, The "numbers" in the column are actually strings, with the number 1 displayed as "001", the number 10 as "010", and the number 100 as "100". But, ...Show All

• Visual Basic wrong Count of Records

  Hi, I am having troubles with the count of records in a Form. All my Tables used in my Access database are linked tables to an SqlServer. The Form I use is a wizzard created form and the recordsource is simple like "SELECT * FROM tab1 join tab2 ..". I want to display the number of records in the form, but it seems, that the recordset does not load all records at once. What i did is: Private Sub Form_Current() lblRecordCount.Caption = Recordset.RecordCount End Sub But when I open the form, it displays just "16", if i move to a record below, it changes to "28", when i scroll to the end it finally displays "100" - which is really the right count. I tried this also with a new database, where i created a table with 500 records ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Remove Checkboxes?

  How do I remove Checkboxes from my form below is the code I use to create them (How many depends on what the user types in the two textboxes, one for cols and one for rows) but how do I remove them Should the code be placed inside a button event to clear the form or would it be better to place it in it's own sub ie Private Sub ClearBoxes() and have it called when the user enters a number in one of the text boxes Private Sub MakeBoxes() RSize = CInt(RowSize.Text) CSize = CInt(ColSize.Text) MatrixSize = RSize * CSize ReDim CheckBoxMatrix(MatrixSize - 1) ReDim CheckBoxSequence(MatrixSize - 1) i = 0 For RowCount = 1 To RSize For ColCount = 1 To CSize CheckBoxMatrix(i) = i.ToString Dim ChkBox A ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Studio Express

  I am new to IDEs and would like to know is there a way to determine where the cpu is spending time in my program and what is the percentage. Thanks If I have to upgrade my IDE I will. Jonathan This is functionality that's offered in Visual Studio's "Code Profiler." See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa718570.aspx for an example. This tool ships in the Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers release as well as Visual Studio Team Suite. Additionally, there are a number of 3rd-party profilers which offer this same functionality. If you do a web search for ".net profiler" you should find a number of hits.
