• Visual C# How to run 2 Windows Forms at the same time??

  Hi, The language that I am using to do my work is Visual C#. Here is my problem. Under Console Applications, I have created 2 Windows Forms and would like to run both of them at the same time when I run debugger mode. How do I go about doing that How do I use Application.Run 2 Windows Form hi, the main idea here is that to change the form default location you have to set the start position property Form1 f1 = new Form1 (); f1.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms. FormStartPosition .Manual; f1.Location = new System.Drawing. Point ( 0 , 0 ); Form2 f2 = new Form2 (); f2.StartPosition = System.Windows.Forms.

• Visual Basic Variable in Resouce Name?

  I have several images called rt_#.bmp as a resource for my app, where # is a number, -1 though 15, i was woundering if ther was a way to use a varibale to represent the # in caling for it, so i could do something like this: Dim num as integer = 12 picBox.Image = My.Resource.rt_ & num but where instead of making it equal 12, it would equal a value read from a file, but using the code i used above gives a build error so it their a way to use a variable in a resouce name You can try something like this. (And CType the return value to the appropriate datatype.) My .Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("rt_12") ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Deploy Files to a Sub-Directory?

  Hi all, i am testing a WinCE application that i wrote by deploying it in the WinCE emulator. This application uses a number of bitmap (BMP) files, and they are deployed by setting their Build Action as "Content". How can i have the BMP files deployed to a sub-directory instead of the main application directory E.g. My application is deployed to "/Program Files/TestApp/" on the emulator, and all the content files are deployed to that same location. However, as i have quite a large number of bitmap files, i would like to deploy those to a "/Program Files/TestApp/bmp/" instead. i could not find a configuration to specify where to deploy a certain file to. Any advice, please (Oh BTW, i'm using MS Visual Studio . ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dataset .vb file Disappearing

  The following has occurred several times on my system: In my program, I have a dataset called Cornerstone.xsd While programming, an error occurs and VS 2005 shuts down. When I reopen, VS says it can't find the .vb file which houses the underlying data definitions, etc. When I check the folder, the file has disappeared, and the project won't compile. Any idea what would cause .xsd files to get messed up Thanks. Just a followup, I found the .vb in the trash can.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do i create a new Type?

  i need to create a type Color3(byte r, byte g, byte b). so that i can do "Color3 visgroupColor;". yet i'm finding it a struggle to get any info on how to go about doing this. i also need to do Vec2, Vec3, Vec4. so if i can do Color3. the others will no doubt be done the same way. Hi, Why can't you use the standard color class Color c = new Color (); c . B = 10 ; c . R = 200 ; c . G = 0 ; To define a new type you need to create a class. ie: public class Color3 { public Color3 ( int red , int green , int blue ) { //... } //... } You might want to read a book on object-oriented programming.

• SQL Server Limitations in Report Builder?

  I'm using Report Builder. I have a NameAddress entity that I want to have printed on the report. There is only one "Drag and drop column fields" box on the "design report" screen. Every field I drop in there goes from left to right. Is there a way to reposition the headers/fields, so that I can have something in the following format: First Name: xxxxxx Last Name: Address 1 xxxxx Address 2 xxxx City: xxxxx State: xx Zip: xxxxx Everything I drop in there goes from left to right. I want to position things "anywhere" on the screen, and be able to split the column headers apart from the data. Basically, how do I get this tool to work like access report designer.

• .NET Development SqlDependency and Stored procedures

  Hi all, When using SqlDependency on an SqlCommand using command text, everything works as expected, I get a notification as soon as the data in the table changes. When I use a Stored Procedure instead, I always immediately get a notification after executing the SP without data being changed. As soon as I reissue the command, I again directly get the notification. Please see the following code: (Table is named Test with one column named Col of type int.) Correctly working code: using ( SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection ( this . connectionString )) using ( SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand ( "SELECT test.col FROM dbo.test" , conn )) {   SqlDependency depend = new SqlDependency ( cmd );   depend . ...Show All

• SQL Server Cross Domain Windows Endpoint Authentication?

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Book Recommendations?

  Hi, I am trying to determine a couple of books that will help me understand SQL Server 2005 from a few of perspectives: Optimizing databases, specifically from SQL 2000 - I have a recommended book Pro SQL Server 2005 Database Design and Optimization Developing SQL Server 2005 based applications using VIsual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 - I have been unable to narrow down to a specific book here. I learn best by example, so I was hoping for a book that basically goes through implementing a "real world" project from scratch to finish. I am going to be using the full-blown enterprise edition of SQL 2005, not the Express Edition; but a book that uses the Express Edition trumps any other book, I would be open to it.
