Windows Forms How to create GUI with VB.net and Application code with VC++.net
VB is easy to create GUI but there are many (advance) library in C/C++ such that I would like to cooperate them with in a (.NET)project. Hi, Generally speaking, .net provides us with a good platform to cooperate with different languages. That's to say, you can write a dll library in VB and use it in a C/C++ project. To your goal, maybe you can have a try at C#. Its GUI facilities are as easy as VB's and it can use the unmanaged code (the C/C++ libraries) as well. ...Show All

SQL Server Datafields in report header
Hi. I want some information stored in the database to be shown on the top of each page in my report. But in the report designer I get an error message if I try to drop a table in the header, and if I try to assign the value of a textbox in the header to e.g. "First(Fields!sometable.Value)", I get a runtime-error in the preview that says "... Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers". How can I do this Regards, Tomsi I have a few clients who love SRS but almost dropped it because of this. We have found ways around it by using a table and putting a subreports into table headers so we could control if they displayed on first page only or all pages or not at all.

.NET Development relieve username and password for Visual source safe

Visual Studio Team System Team Build works only on itself
I've got the Application and Data Tier on the same machine. When I do a team build, it only works on itself, not onto the server I actually want to build to.

Windows Forms How can extract an object from form.designer by string name? (for examble a buttton dropped on)
i would estract an object from my form, for example a button by name. I drop a button in a form, named button1: and try: Dim o As Object = CallByName( Me , "Button1" , CallType.Get) but don't work because he said that error message: "Public member 'Button1' on type 'Form1' not found" someone have any solution thank's CallByName only works for public members. By default, controls that are added to a form using the VB form designer are added with Friend visibility. Also, I believe the CallByName method only works for properties and methods.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. missing Direct3D device???
Help! I'm working on my first XNA Project: Learning how to work with 2D images/sprites. I follow the directions completely and I get this in the Main() module when it tries to access the Game1 module: Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater. I tried downloading the Direct3D 9.0 SDK extras package, but it didn't help. I'm stumped. Dan This really irritates me that their is absolutely no workaround! I'm creating a strictly 2D game without any pixel shading, and I was working on them before beta 2 with no problems at all. Now that its required its ridiculous! I found workarounds after it gets to the actual Game class, but mine wont get that far. ...Show All
