• .NET Development Embed author with code files

  I created a tool that creates the Business and Data layer based on the database design. And a few co-workers want to use it. I don't mind it, but I want my name in the code files so that if anyone else sees the code they will see my name as the creator. Kinda like a self-gratification thing and advertisement for job offers.   I'm using CodeDOM to create these files. Is there a way I can set my name to appear somehow, that they cannot delete it Or maybe some pattern I should employ on the creation. Maybe requiring a DLL instantiation by the IDE or something Anyone have any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, etc...   Thanks, Nick Well I kinda wanted my name embedded in the code ...Show All

• Visual C# Input Message Box in C#?

  Is there any control like an Input Message Box (users of VB would recognize this) I need a pop-up in the same form (pop-up not being a seperate form or a MDI child) for the Login Id and password Any Suggestions thx in advance, Believe it or not but this question is fairly common, especially coming from those who have previous experience with Visual Basic.  Unfortunately C# does not have anything like what you are after, but the beauty of .Net is that you are able to access methods/functions from other certain languages. In order to do this you need to Add a Reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.  Once you have done so you will have access to Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox.  Below is an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Viewer Table

  Hello, I'm trying to display the table information horizontally insead of down the form. For example, instead of this; A B C D I would like to display two tables beside each other and display the tables and data like this Table 1 Table2 A C B D Or, if there is a way to select (filter) which data is displayed in the table that would work also. For instance, if I could display just the odd pieces of data (the 1st, 3rd, etc, etc) in one table and the even pieces of (2nd, 4th, etc, etc) in the other table that would work also. Is this possible If so, how Thanks in advance, John One option is to follow an approach as discussed in Chris' blog article about horizontal table: http://blogs.msdn.com/chrishays/archive/2004/07/23/Horizonta ...Show All

• Visual C# Gridview link problem

  Hello, I'm a bit confused about how i should go about this. I have a gridview which contains a search engines results. I have a link beside each product that the search engine finds. I want the link to take the user to the 'Item description page' where they can find out more detail about the item they are interested in (via clicking on the link beside the product). How do i direct the user to the 'Item Description page' as well as carry the information needed about the product so that they are only viewing the product they are interested in on the item description page. My gridview looks as follows but i know the hyperlink part is wrong because i didn't know what to put in the 'ItemTitle' bit. < asp : View ID =" ...Show All

• SQL Server Create Time dimension Year, Week, day problem

  Hi, I have a problem when creation a Time dimension Year, Week, day , The week does not start on the correct date eg. Week 42-2006 should start on 16 th. october and end on 22 th october, but in this case it starts on the 15th october and ends on the 21 october. So what happens is that it starts 1 day before it actually should. This is my Time Dimension: DatePart(year,"dbo"."fCapacityLedgerEntry"."Posting Date") DatePart(week,"dbo"."fCapacityLedgerEntry"."Posting Date") 'Week ' + convert(CHAR, DateName(week, "dbo"."fCapacityLedgerEntry"."Posting Date")) convert(CHAR,"dbo"."fCapacityLedgerEntry"."Posting Date&quo ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Clipping an animation

  I have a rectangle that I'd like to move from an off-canvas location to a location on-canvas. No problem... Except I'd like it to appear to 'open' out of a space on the canvas. Hard to explain without showing, but I'll try. Let's say the final location of the rectangle is (0,0) to (100,100). The rectangle starts out off-canvas to the right. I want to slide the rectangle to the left on command (not a problem), but I only want to see the rectangle once it gets inside the rectangle it will rest at. It will appear to open up in that rectangle from the right-hand side. My thought was to add clipping to the Canvas, but it didn't work (or I did it wrong). This is a little weird since the canvas itself has a Canvas.Left ...Show All

• Visual Studio For the Context-Sensitive help, why do we have to "highlight" the word?

  I used to use Visual Stuio 6 in the last century... Seriously. I put the cursor in one keyword, and press F1. Pui, I get the MSDN help document. Now, I installed the VS 2005, and found that doesn't work any more. It takes me 1 hour to figure out that I have to HIGHLIGHT the keyword, and most of time I can't get the right document. I have to click the drop-down list of "F1 Options" (a stupid name, btw) to find the one I am looking for. why do we have to "highlight" the word Doesn't it bother you developers at all ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CorrelationToken & CorrelationParameter

  I understand the use of a CorrelationToken in case you have an OwnerActivityName that has multiple correlations inside of it. I would think however that with this unique name (correlationtoken+owneractivityname) I would not need to have a unique CorrelationParameter. How is the correlationparameter related to the CorrelationToken Thanks! Correlationparameter defines which formal parameter of the method/event args is to be used for correlation, whereas a correlationtoken is the actual token that the runtime creates when a method is raised/message arrives for an event inside the workflow. Think of correlationparameter as the type [this can span across methods/events], and correlationtoken as the in ...Show All

• Windows Forms is the right place to ask question about installshield

  With Install Shield, if I want to include a dll and that dll is pat of a merger module (redistributable) it includes the whole merge module in the installation project and it doesn t allow me to include only the dll.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Basics

  I am currently teaching myself VB.net and I wanted to know if there was any other languages reccomended for those wishing to use XNA and if so, good reading to learn these languages. I am currently delving into Jesse Liberty's Learning Visual Basic.net. Thanks for any help If your intent is to use XNA then I would not start with learning VB.NET. C# is the intended language for XNA and using VB.NET while possible, is not encouraged. Almost all of the community tutorials are in C#, all of the Microsoft samples and examples will be in C#. So to save yourself the headache of not having the content there for you, start with C#. Then later, just learn the syntactical differences between C# and VB.NET (they're aren't that many), but def ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cells.NumberFormat - not standart (from .Net) ?

  Need to format the cells in a way to make them show the measurements, i.e. while entering 50 to show "50.00 m". From inside the Excel it's easy to do this via the cell properties and adding the new format into "(all formats"), and it looks like 0.00" m" - but how to get the same effect from VB (have tried "0.00"" m""" - doubling, which normally works, but not this time) The code is: Dim WSheet As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet WSheet = EXL.Application.Workbooks.Add.Worksheets.Add EXL.Application.Visible = True WSheet.Name = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(CurFile) With WSheet .Range("c1").HorizontalAlignment = Microsoft.Office.Interop. ...Show All

Thanks In advance it should only show the columns returned by your query, the 8 columns there in your SELECT statement. Be sure to set the datasource to null on the bindable UI Control (datagrid view for example) before rebinding it, just to make sure duplicate rows are not being added for example. ...Show All
