• Visual Studio Express Editions msgbox

  how do i use the if then to act on whichever button was pressed, like the yes no for example you would be looking at the dialog result of the MessageBox. This is the way of doing so: if MessageBox.Show("Message", "Caption", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes then 'the user pressed the yes button else 'the user pressed the no button end if to give the MessageBox the buttons, you need to look at the MessageBoxButtons enumerator, it supplies you the buttons that you can show to the user. The MessageBox also returns a DialogResult, the value returned based on the user's choice and you look at the DialogResult ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't disable a button

  I am programming in c#. I have a button on my form that when clicked, it plays a wav file using the PlaySound method from winmm.dll. The wav is about 3 seconds long. The problem is that if I keep clicking the button during the 3 seconds the sound is playing, it queues all of the clicks, and plays the wav over and over. My Button is named btn. So I tried: this.btn.Enabled = false; PlaySound(...); this.btn.Enabled = true; Doing this successfully greyed out the button while the sound is playing, but it still accepts clicks, so it didn't fix my original problem. Is there some way to clear the event queue Or is there something else I'm doing wrong. I just want the button to not work while the sound is playing. I have also tried ...Show All

• Visual C# Little Help

  I have figured out how to open webpages, but, if on the button click you open a webpage, say www.google.com. But, if you have a textbot on the program, and on the button click you want www.google.com/i-typed-this-in-the-textbot, how would you go about coding that Thanks Yes that works, one more thing, just wondering how I can allow the button to be pressed with the enter key as well as the mouse Right now, hitting enter just clears the box ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I load a 3d mesh (.x file)?

  How do I load a .x mesh into my scene The space game seems to use its own format (which it names .swm), and there's nothing in the help. I've been scanning through through the classes in the Framework namespace, but I can't see anything obvious! Is .x the recommended format for objects like this (If not, I change my question to be about the recommended format :D) If anyone knows anywhere that has some nice .x meshes I can play with, that'd be cool too. The only one I have lying around is a chair, and that's going to look a bit funny running around my game :D The Content Manager is part of the framework so it exsists in the Beta. However all the stuff you need to get you data in the Model format is n ...Show All

• SQL Server Service Listing Manager Question for Remus

  Hi Remus - Thank you for your Service Listing utility. I am very new to S.B. I had an intern working for us do some research work into S.B. and I gave him your utility to use for the work I gave him to do. Here is what I am trying to do. Very simply, I want to setup a remote (target) server that many other source (initiator) servers will send messages to via S.B. I had the intern learn how to have a single initiator server send messages to the remote server. He used your utility to create the SQL script that needs to be run on both servers to get things set up, and it works correctly. The script below is what your utility created to be run on the remote server. The reference to 'SDDev2' below is a reference to the initiator (source) ser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Development using IDE and custom code

  Hey All, This is a very simple question and i was hoping with someone with a bit more development experience via an IDE might be able to help. I'm using Visual C# Express to develop an app and am loving it, i'm confused though as to how I can use both the IDE and write snippets of my own code. Take a very simple example. I have just embedded a TreeView component in my app and want all the nodes to be expanded by default. I can't seem to find the property in the Properties toolbox so i've gone in and written the line of code myself to expand all the nodes. Whenever I click back on the design view however, it kindly removes my code for me. Am I to expect that it's a case of using either the visual development tools or developing the code al ...Show All

• Visual Basic Generate a compiler error?

  Hi all, I've created a custom component which can be dropped from the toolbox to any form. It interacts with any form that has a treelist on it. After you drop it on to the form, you must set a property of the component which is treelist it applies to. At the moment if you forget to set the property, the app builds, but as soon as you attempt to use the component, you get a nullreferenceexception. What I'd like to know is whether it's possible to force a compiler/build error if that property has not been set at compile time i.e., if one of our other developers uses the component on his form but forgets to set the property in design mode, then I'd like it to not build and show an error message in the error list.

• .NET Development upgrade project from vs2003 to vs2005 issue

  Hello, We upgraded a vs2003 project to vs2005. The project upgraded with out and major issues, however the performance of the application seems to have serverly been hampered. Each time we select an event that fires off a msgbox it takes a couple of seconds to display and then respond to the yes/no prompt. Has anyone else had this issue Any thoughts on why the upgrading of a project from vs2003 to vs2005 would hamper performance Thanks in advance. John No nothing would have changed that would impact that. Have you tried timing the code to see where the delay is For example if it takes 2 seconds to invoke the event then the problem is in the event invocation. If it takes 2 seconds to bring up t ...Show All
