• Visual Basic ProjectName.ClassName.MajorVersion.MinorVersion

  Need to know how to create components targetting web sites with class name like "ADODB.Connection.2.8". I have created a component but its class name is always being same irrespective of versions! For every version I want the class name to be ProjectName.ClassName.MajorVersion.Minor Version Please let me know how this is possible in VB You can set the assembly name to something like 'ADODB.Connection.2.8', and what will be the output, ie: 'ADODB.Connection.2.8.dll' But as far as I know there is no way to auto-increment this to match the assembly version. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 2.6.5 - Problems with taskbar

  I updated my WDS 2.5 installation to WDS 2.6. Now I have a toolbar in my taskbar that does not have a name and does not contain any icons. I can resize the toolbar but I cannot drop any icons in there so it does not seem to be a launch bar. If I open applications the windows box appears in a different tab in the taskbar. The toolbar is not listed in the properties dialog for the taskbar so I cannot turn it off. Do you have any idea how I can get rid of this toolbar/tab inside my taskbar It is taking away some space without providing any value :-( Thank you for your help. Ingo Have probably the similar problem in Win XP Tablet PC 2005. Sometimes have my taskbar doubled. Say if I open a word documen ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating tables with SQL Scripts (SOLVED)

  In sql server 2003 I would create tables with generated sql scripts. This way I could easily create duplicate dev environments. Now in SQL 2005 Dev edition I try to run my scripts to create tables. I create a db [MSS]. They run successfully but there is no table created.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Some thoughts on XNA Game Studio / Framework

  First of all, I'd like to note that what Microsoft is attempting to do with XNA is commendable. Game development is notoriously hard, getting harder by the month in fact. So Microsoft's goal of simplifying the process, opening it up to a whole new audience of student and hobbyist developers, is a natural one. However, actually attaining that goal is going to take a lot more than XNA. Here's why. The process of game development is difficult for a variety of reasons. When a new programmer first begins to learn game development, the earliest things they will have trouble with are things like wrangling the windowing system into doing what they want it to, reading input, drawing triangles, and loading content into their app. But once they've le ...Show All

• Visual Basic Strange Aritmetic overflow

  I am getting a weird arithmetic overflow error. tB(Offset + 2) + (tB(Offset + 3) << 8) does not work. Even though tB(Offset + 2) = &HFF and tB(Offset + 3) = &H3F but &HFF + (&H3F << 8) does work. I do not understand. Any Ideas Thanks. I have a theory troy. We dont know what the datatype of TB is. For the last year people have been explaining to you that bytes have eight bits. If tb() is a byte array (tB(Offset + 3) << 8) Will never ever work and will inevitably generate an over flow. But we can't know because you didn't specify TB's datatype. ...Show All
