• Smart Device Development Problem with using POOM

  Hi I have downloaded InTheHand.PocketOutlook, because I need to use POOM(Pocket Outlook Object Model) in my app. I am using vb to write my app, and I have added the reference to the project, but when I run the program I get this error message: Can't find PInvoke DLL 'PocketOutlook.dll' I don't know how to fix this problem, can someone please help me. Thanks, DD That means native 'PocketOutlook.dll' is missing/bad and you need to make sure you have it on device. It should come with InTheHand download. It might be what demo version only include x86 version which would only run on old x86 emulator. Please contact InTheHand for details. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Foreign Key Fields in wrong order

  I imported a schema and it was giving me a bunch of errors with all my foreign keys that linked to one specific table. My foreign keys after the import looked something like this: ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CoilPickedLog] ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_CoilPickedLog_WorkOrderSequences] FOREIGN KEY ([SequenceNumber], [WorkOrderID]) REFERENCES [dbo].[WorkOrderSequences] ( [SequenceNumber], [WorkOrderID] ) It was giving me an error complaining that it couldn't find a candidate key that matched the referenced column list. I switched the order around to be [WorkOrderID], [SequenceNumber], and visual studio stopped giving me an error. Now my foreign key within my VS DB project looks like this: ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CoilPickedLog] ADD CON ...Show All

• SQL Server Basic SQL: Multiple AND/OR nightmare in SELECT statement

  This is more of a basic SQL question rather than anything specific for T-SQL, but I assume someone here can help me... I have a problem with properly combining a lot of AND and ORs in a SELECT statement in a stored procedure in order to get the desired results. The problem is that I want to have all results that fullfill all of the supplie d conditions: InstitutionCode, CollectionCode, ScientificName, Locality (unless they are null, hence 'coalesce') and the Parentid, that can be in one of eight columns. SELECT * FROM QueryView WHERE InstitutionCode = COALESCE(@museum, InstitutionCode) AND CollectionCode = COALESCE(@collection, CollectionCode) AND ScientificName LIKE '%' + @binomen + '%' AND Locality LIKE ' ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dialog form is hidden sometimes

  Hello all. In my application I have some form that I show modally. DialogForm frm = new DialogForm(); frm.ShowDialog(); So what's happening sometimes.... frm is "hiding" before the main applciation form. And it looks like that application is frozen (its because frm is active now but does not have focus). Is it a bug in .Net If you open that dialog from a method of your main form, pass the this pointer as parameter to ShowDialog. That makes it modal to your main app. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Adding a simple shader to render a ModelMesh

  I'm trying to figure out how to render with a shader instead of the default render style. I have quite a bit of experience with CG shaders from NVidia so I know the concepts, but when I'm trying to use XNA's HLSL, nothing is showing up. Here's what I'm doing. Any ideas what's wrong I'd like to note that I HAVE been following the help files, but the help files go into DrawIndexedPrimitive rather than mesh.Draw(), which I know isn't required and only helps to confuse me with the idea of applying a shader effect. On Load: shaderEffect = content.Load<Effect>("Content\\Shaders\\simple"); shaderEffect.CurrentTechnique = shaderEffect.Techniques["TransformTechnique"]; effectParam_wvp = shaderEffect.Pa ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems with AddService()

  Hi! I have been working with XNA for about 2 weeks now and I am new to the C# language. In my game I have a TextureManager and I wanted to give every class access to it. So I thought Game Services are a great idea, but it doesn't work right. In the Texturemanager-Class constructor I add it into the Services: Services.AddService(typeof(Texturemanager), this); Then I made an instance from the Texturemanager in my MainClass and after it I wanted to get the object back. ITexturemanager texturemanager = (ITexturemanager)Services.GetService(typeof(ITexturemanager)); But the texturemanager value is always null! Why doesn't it work right thx cya, Stefan Sorry, when I posted the thread I put away the name ...Show All

• Visual Studio Maintaining data session state in the CrystalReportViewer

  I finally got a .NET DLL datasource to work for my crystal report. Now I'm wondering if I'm fighting with an 'easier way, that may be already built into Crystal Reports. I've included two routines 1) Page Load - This routine checks the user's ID from Windows which is an NUID, it then takes that NUID to find that user in an Admin table, a Supervisor Table, to decide what type of data should be in the dataset of the report. The routines are nicely streamlined and are based off of stored procedures. Depending on the rank of the person's NUID, that person will see more 'Training status's of various employees. The idea is to have the page automatically display what is valid to that person when they open the page on our intranet. 2) ...Show All
