• Windows Forms Version property for MSI Files

  Hi, We have created a deployment MSI package and when i right click and click on properties i see only "General" and "Security" tabs. How do i include "Version" tab that would have my product version We are using Visual Studio.NET deployment projects to create the MSI file. Thanks, Kris I'm afraid it is not possible, though I'm still finding the way out. The msi file is created as a non-versioned file. Unfortunately, there is no 'version' tab there as other exe files. But fortunately, there is the 'Summary' tab, which can contain more information you specidfy than the original 'version' tab can do. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting DateTime values using the timezone of the client application

  We store DateTime values in the database as UTC. It's easy enough to format the datetime value onto a report using the timezone of the server. However we can find no easy way to do this based on the timezone of the client application. Say for example we have a server based on the east coast and it has clients around the world using our application that are in different timezones. When they see data within our application, they are seeing those UTC datetime values appropriately formatted in their local timezone by our application. However, when they ask for a report from reporting services they will see the same datetimes formatted in the timezone of the reporting server, which may be totally different to their own timezone. Has an ...Show All

• SQL Server MCTS Exam 70-431 Database Administration Study Documementation and Samples ?

  Hi, I am looking for good documentation and examples to use to 'study' for Microsoft exam 70-431. This has everything to do with nuts-and-bolts Database Administration of SQL Server 2005.

• Visual C# Inherit Generic Forms

  How can generic forms / controls be inherited I made some generic forms and controls i want to use in my application as base forms/controls. When i inherit these forms/controls i cannot view the designer anymore. Is it possible to inherit these generics and how Yeah, reusing UI-logic with different "business classes" was exactly the reason I looked at this stuff. Good luck with the toolbar/resource thing. Having to do it in code would almost be an acceptable trade-off given how "nice" the inheritence thing works, and how little duplicated code you end up with. ...Show All

• Visual C++ performance Comparison between C++, C# and COBOL

  Hi everyone, Currently our company is in the process of converting from a mainframe environment to PCs. As a pilot we took an application that processses about 5 million rows with about a record length of 7000 bytes the stats were amazing C# it took 3 minutes 17 seconds, C++ (native and not .net) 1 minute 28 seconds and believe it or not the COBOL program took only 45 seconds. The program has a simple read of a record, process few business rules and replace certain bytes in the string and write back to a new file. I expected C++ to perform better. does anyone has any idea why the COBOL program performed better than the C++ program. The data files were the same, the logic were the same, the machine it was executed was t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Graph shader?

  I am trying to draw the FPS in a graph. For that I want to pass the shader effect a 1D texture, but it isnt very simple. I understand I need to use a sampler Does the steps of passing and using a 1D texture (or sampler) similar to those of passing and using a 2D texture Or do I need to do it differently For a 2D texture I have the SetTexture method for an effect, but I dont have the equivalent for a sampler or some sort of a 1D Texture which I dont know about. How do I achieve this Thank you. Well, there is a possiblity of non power2 textures, but I think the way they are implemented is that they allocated a power2 texture that is bigger then the required texture. And not all the grap ...Show All

• Visual Basic binding a variable in a loop

  I am new to VB and having a problem. On a form I have 4 picture boxes (named picbox1, picbox2, picbox3, picbox4). From a button I am trying to populate the four pictures. The file browser comes up fine and I can select my files. My problem comes in the loop when I try to populate the picture boxes. I have a variable named loopphoto. On the first pass I am able to bind loopphoto to picbox1 without any problems. On the second pass of the loop I am unable to rebind loopphoto to picbox2. Currently I need the variable to loop 1 to 4, passing the respective photos into the respective picture boxes. How do I do this In the future I will need to change the code to loop 1 to X and create 1 to X picture boxes respectively. ...Show All
