• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Close the Window in UserControl

  I put a usercontrol in a window. when I click a button in the usercontrol, I want to close the window and show another window. can this be implemented Thanks Do your design constraints prohibit the UserControl from having a reference to the containing Window or the Window knowing about the UserControl If the user control can know about the Window, then just expose a property on the control which the Window sets to itself (i.e. the Window gives the control a refernce to itself). Then the control can just call Close on the Window reference. Otherwise, perhaps you might expose an event on the user control called CloseWindowRequested. The Window would hook that event and close itself when the event fires. If neither of tho ...Show All

• Visual Basic Graphics Flicker in Program

  I am sure this has already been asked, yet I couldn't find any such thread that helped my case. In my game the character and objects flicker occasionally. The character flickers from being animated a lot, same with the objects. This is my paint code for the game: Private Sub DrawGraphics() Dim intCounter As Integer Dim background As New Bitmap( Me .Width, Me .Height) Dim rectClear As Rectangle background = Me .BackgroundImage 'Clear First If strCharacter(2) = "YesClear" Then 'the rectangles keep track of the graphic locations rectClear = rectCharacter(0) rectClear.X = rectClear.X - intAnimaLeft rectClear.Y ...Show All

• SQL Server how report manager works?

  Understand how Report Manager functions internally through the use of classes in the ReportingServicesWebUserInterface assembly and leverage its undocumented functionality. Hi, The power of the report manager is not in the report manager itself. Reporting Services is implemented as a web service. Report Manager is just an interface (.APSX) on top of that. If needed, you can create your own interface using any language that understands web services. Greetz, Geert   Geert Verhoeven Consultant @ Ausy Belgium My Personal Blog ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ design capabilities

  I want to create software that allows the end-user to create multiple copies of their own buttons on a scanned map which buttons can be rotated 360 degrees and linked to a database. I thus need libraries of code for rotate and also zoom functionality that I can incorporate. Can I get this done with C++ or any of the other Visual Studio programs If not, what software do you recommend I'll check out this DirectX SDK. I understand that C++ is a programming language but I don't want to waste a lot of time trying to learn a programming language that ultimately won't get me to where I want to get to. Not being knowledgeable in what are contained in C++ libraries is the reason I was consulting those of you who ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item Form Customization Question

  I have three text fields under a tab and I want to control the sizes of each of these text fields - for example, the first one being the biggest, and the others smaller. But using the 'dock' attribute does not seem to do the trick. Can you tell me if there is a way to specify sizes of text boxes on a work item form Thanks, Maggie Having the columns on the tab group and providing the proper PercentWidth attribute for each column and then placing the controls within those columns should achieve the deisred results. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic windows forms

  Hey, I've only started using Visual Basic tonight, and I've never touched any previous form of VB and/or Visual Studio. So this is probably the newbie-ist question you've seen for a few years if not ever. Anyway, I've got a task set out whereby I must create a testing program as such, with multiple choices. I've created a form for every question, along with a welcome form and a grade form. My question is simply, how do you link the forms, so that a user can click the button labelled "Continue1" and it opens up form2, within the same space and so on and so forth. Any help would be more than gratefully received. Thanks! that would be the form you are going to show, which you have i ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro deleting records from a table

  Hi all, I have a table(all_wID) that consists of 160,000 IDs ( IDs are numbered from 1 to 160,000). Every time i use an ID in a particular application, I want that ID deleted from the table(all_wID) i use -> delete from all_wID where work_id = find.work_id this is saying if i use one of the IDs, delete it from the list, then when i use the application again i need to check to see if the id has been used already. I query all_wID to see if it has been deleted, and if it hasn't been, i use the ID and then delete it. My problem is getting the record to delete. The table consisting of the IDs, doesn't delete the record, but instead makes the 1cm border to the left of the column black. Does any1 now how to acutally delete a record from a file ...Show All

  I have a program which reads a file containing integer values between 0 and 10. I already use a linear mapping which takes this values and maps them in a different range. Now I want to map the values using a logarithmic scale. For example I want to map from [0;10] to [0.2;5] and values have to grow following the logarithmic scale. I can I do that Unless your question is in the context of a specific piece of VC++ Express, this is a problem in algebra.
