• Windows Forms Prerequisite not working?

  I'm trying to build a setup for my application using a Windows Installer project. I'm using VS2005. My Windows application requires SQL Server 2005 Express, so I marked that as one of the prerequisites. I built the installer successfully and ran it on one computer running XP. It successfully detected that neither .net 2.0 or SQL Server 2005 Express were installed and installed both of them before installing my application. My application ran just fine and life was good. I then took the exact same setup.exe and setup.msi and ran them on another computer - also running XP. It didn't attempt to install either of the prerequisites, and seemed to successfully install my application. As soon as my app was launched though it failed with " ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Recommended Managed DirectPlay Book?

  Hi All, I've done some trauling through the web for some DirectPlay material and this subject is neither here nor there. Can anyone recommend a good book or reference for this API as I cannot find a thing. If there is not a Managed book about a C++ based book would be acceptable. TIA NozFx You can find samples and such in the older versions of the SDK, I would sugest to have a look at them.. You might want to try the dec 2003 sdk. Also the Managed DirectX Kick Start book (by Tom Miller) has some chapters on it that you can lern a lot from. I also released a chat program on www.gotdotnet.com in the users samples a while back. But my suggestion is to move into the System.net classes and des ...Show All

• SQL Server Which method to use for synchronization?

  I have three options in my mind to synchronize my data of sql server compact edition with sql server 2000/sql server 2005. 1)Merge Replication 2)Remote Data Access 3)Web Service All the data would be residing on Sql server 2000/2005 and user will get their data after being authenticated and will change the data and add new data and then again will synchronize with server with new changes. Please suggest me solution, my opinion is going towards Web service. Thanks Hi! I'm in the exact same situation where I have to choose the correct synchronization method. To choose method it really depends how your applicatoin is going to work. RDA is only one way for example. Merge seems great but y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating dynamic columns in crystal report using C# 2005

Is there anyway to create and place the Report Objects(fields, Textbox, Subreport etc) in ReportDocument through C# code at runtime .

• .NET Development Trouble updating

  Hi I am using SQL Server 2005 to store my data which consists of several objects that have relations between each other. Now my trouble is the following scenario: Object A references a list of object B that references a list of object C and also contains a reference for object A. When data changes i want to update my tables using only the changed data in my update command. However sometimes the number of objects B changes in object A and some other time only some trivial variables change. Now my question is: Is there an easy way of figuring out, which has changed in an object and then apply the right update statement to my SqlDataAdapter So far i have tried removing the item first and then readding it with the change ...Show All

• Smart Device Development C#: IR Communication between PPC6700 and TV/DVD/HT Receiver

  Hi. I read the two articles: http://www.codeproject.com/netcf/PocketBeamer.asp (C#/Audio Port) http://www.codeproject.com/ce/TVRemote.asp (C++/IR) and I wanted to use IR, programmed via C#, to send IR codes to TV, DVD, etc. and I know the basics of IR, so I wanted to try to program an application for sending IR codes like when I press channel up/down, etc, which I'll have to learn the IR codes which I'll do a research once I get to know how to do it. Please note: I don't want to use audio port, but with IR and so I've never done this before. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. It's never too late to learn.

• Windows Forms User Control Inheritance and Namespaces

  I've noticed two unusual issues with Windows Forms user-controls in Visual Basic and was wondering if there was a workaround for either of these: You don't seem to be able to place a user-control in a namespace other than the project's root namespace. When you add the namespace to the class file you receive the error: The class UserControl1 can be designed, but is not the first class in the file. Visual Studio requires that designers use the first class in the file. Move the class code so that it is the first class in the file and try loading the designer again. I assume this is because the partial class is in a different namespace, is there a way to influence what namespace is used for the partial class You can't have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office More on Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC

  I've been trying to trace this error down and I've found a curious thing. 1) When I put a breakpoint on the ThisAddin.Designer.vb New method, I find that it appears to be the first line called. No surprise. What is surprising is that I have an exception before that line executes. A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll 2) When I step through all the startup code and into my test code (below) I get the following two additional exceptions on the line Debug.Print(Application.ActiveCell.Name.ToString) A first chance exception of type 'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException' occurred in mscorlib.dll A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' ...Show All
