• Visual Basic NET SEND GUI

  Hi all. I am working on a net send/recieve utility. I can get the sending protion of the program to work, but cannot get the receive portion to display the received message in a textbox in my application. It always pops up like the standard windows message screen. How can I get it to display it my received textbox. Another question. Is there a way to stop the command box from flashing when I click to send a message from what I can see/understand you are "shelling out" the background net send utility. There wouldnt be a way to recieve back the input really unless it exposes some API. you can however redirect te input/output of that application but whether this will work when rec ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Custom Vertex and Transformed vertices.

  Hello all, This is my first post so sorry if I did something wrong ;) I have a little problem with porting my "framework" that used mdx1.1 to xna (I am still using Windows.Forms). The problem is that i didn't do a lot shaders in a past and now things are more difficult to me. I had a lot of objects like gui parts and splashscreens which used my "quad" (2 triangles with texture in screenspace). And that is the problem. I used transformed vertex so i could give screen coords and now I can see only positioned. Is it possible to use screen coordinates somehow I know this thread is a bit old but I am also going to be using screen coordinates to put up colored triangles (GUI, like in F ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Popups while coding

  So I am new Visual Studio, and am trying to learn vBasic. I can't seem to find a way to turn off the little guide tips. Whenever I start writing MessageBox.Show I get a popup. How do I turn off all of these "helpful" hints I looked in most of the options and can't find anything that seems to control them. what you maybe referring to is the tooltips. These are normal and tell you what the method expects in terms of parameters. It is required otherwise how would you know where you are going wrong and if you are passing invalid parameters to it I am not sure you can turn it off but please do not quote me however this is for your benefit otherwise you would be making life very hard for yourself : ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET security and network drives - how to turn it OFF?

  How do I TURN OFF .NET security so I can run applications on network drives without getting SecurityException's I dont think you can really - you may need to strong name your assemblies to be trusted to run (I think) Take a look at this: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/275.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/ kbid=832742 (the last part will be the most useful) http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2003/March/StrongNamedAssemblies.asp http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zdc263t0.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchSecurityConcernsForVisualBasicNETProgrammers.asp ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can't stop or start service from client app ("access is denied")

  Hi, Quick question for all you Vista gurus out there. We have a service (running as SYSTEM) and we need to be able to stop and start it from our client application, which is running as a standard user. Is this possible Our app was designed originally to run as administrator, but in order to get Vista certification we can't have it demand administrator access ( ) so I'm trying to get it to run with the "asInvoker" access instead. But when I do that it can't access the service via the ServiceController. When we call serviceController.Stop() we get "InvalidOperationException: cannot open service on computer '.' --> Win32Exception: access is denied". The "Stop()" method is calling the "GetServiceHand ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. beta 2 mouse input (windowhandle and ismousevisible)

  Setting Mouse.WindowHandle to Game.Window.Handle doesn't seem to do anything... I assume it should only cause mouse events that happen on that window to be captured, but I'm getting mouse events even if I'm on some other window. Also, setting Game.IsMouseVisible doesn't seem to work all the time. I'm trying to hide the cursor while the right button is down, but it doesn't hide. If I set it to false outside of the if statement, it does hide... I know it's entering that if statement though, as I'm doing other things there. I can repro this bug (Shawn - I sent Mitch a repro a couple of days ago) setting Game.IsMouseVisible doesn't have an immediate effect if the mouse is currently over the window and y ...Show All

• SQL Server Exporting to PDF in Java with web interface issue

  Hi, thanks for taking the time to take a look at this. As you can read from the title, I'm trying to export a report to pdf from a thick java client. My connection string is: "http://10.0.1.36/ReportServer/ /Invoice1/Invoice&assetNbr=14 &invoiceId=061000002&rs:Command=Render:&rs:Format=PDF&rc:Toolbar=false" (I just added the toolbar=false part, and it didn't fix the problem) After getting the datastream I just throw it into a file and it works fine... Until I add an image to my report. I don't get any errors in my program, but when I try to open up the pdf itself I get the error: "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." What confuses me is that if I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Losing Background Surface

  Hiya, I'm working on a simple 2d shooter game in VS 2003 using managed DX. Problem: my backgrounds (LPDIRECT3DSURFACE9) start disappearing after x levels Computer 1 has a Radeon Mobility 7500 that has 32 meg of VRAM and starts losing backgrounds after 7 levels. Computer 2 has an integrated graphics card with 64 meg of VRAM and starts losing backgrounds after 11 levels. So it seems that I'm not releasing somthing properly but I have thoroughly checked this. The way it works is as follows: 1. Load Menu and associated textures and surfaces 2. User clicks 'play' and all Menu textures and surfaces are released 3. The Game is initialized loading all textures and surfaces from scripts 4. player completes ...Show All

• .NET Development Extracting public exposed methods from a dll

  How can i extract the exposed method signatures from a dll assembly Can anyone help me out.... You can use reflection to examine an assembly. For example: //this is a class from the dll assembly MyClass test = new MyClass(); //get all public, non static methods System.Reflection.MethodInfo[] methods = test.GetType().GetMethods(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public); //display them in the debug window foreach (System.Reflection.MethodInfo method in methods) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(method.Name); } For a complete example, check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4d848zkb.aspx ...Show All

• .NET Development Timer not firing at set rate...

  I set up a timer for my basic form. The only problem is that it only fires at 30 times per second. I would like it to fire at 60 times per second so I set it's interval to 15 milliseconds but still fires 30 times per second. Anybody know why Excuse me if it is basically obvious. Thanks, Devin OK I set up a psuedo timer by hooking a method into the WndProc override and it is firing at the same rate as the timer was. I'm assuming that the timer fires from the WndProc method Is there a way to tell the system to fire the timer or WndProc at a faster rate -Devin ...Show All
