• Smart Device Development DataGrid coloring (SP1)

  Hi, I'm having trouble setting (individual) color for the rows in a DataGrid in a custom DataGridTextBoxColumn. I'm running the SP1 of CF 2.0. I have overridden Paint as shown below, but for some reason the paint method is not used in my own test projects. If I import the same code into the sample from Ilya Tumanov and replace one of the TextBoxColumns with my own it is working ok. Why could this be I've tried to "analyse" the sample code from Ilya, but I haven't come up with something. Thanks, Adrian ----------------------CODE-------------------- SolidBrush color1 = new SolidBrush(Color.Aqua); SolidBrush color2 = new SolidBrush(Color.CadetBlue); SolidBrush color3 = new SolidBrush(Color.FireBrick); protected override v ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing a variable to another process

  Hi, Im trying to find out how i would pass a value, in this case a string, to another process My app detects if another instance of it is currently running, if it is then it shuts down, but when the user opens a file with it i want to pass the string (filename) over to the exsisting window so it can open before this one shuts down. Any help or a point in the right direction would be excellent. Thanks, -Dave Thanks Mark but i think i would be better of going with ipc. But im having some trouble with it, i can get any of the examples off the web to work, they compile, but i dont know how to pass the message sent to a text box or even a message box so i can see what im doing.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Highly Optimized 2D Drawing

  With the trends in hardware today, would it be worth the effort to render groups of sprites to offscreen surfaces For instance, we have an gui window composed of 9 sprites (All stored in 1 image, and will be rendered in a batch). 5 Of these sprites will every need scaled or tiled to draw the window every frame. Assuming that during the gui windows lifetime it's size and appearance will remain relatively constant, we can render it to an offscreen surface. This would allow us to minimize the scaling and vertex buffer operations to a single blit in future redrawings of the window. Or is it best to constantly push new quads to the GPU for processing like the Spritebatch object currently does The constant pushing of quads would only requir ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem using Left() in ASP.NET

  I am having problems manipulating strings. I want to take the first 15 Characters from a databind for example: <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Reference").ToString().Replace("-", "").Replace("/", "").Replace("(", "").Replace(")", "").Replace(" ", "").Replace(",", "") %> I have used the replace to replace some characters and take out spaces (Although ideally I need to remove all non-alphanumberic charcaters) Then I want to shorten the remaining string to 15 characters I have tried using Left(DataBinder... etc. but this just gives me a compiling error.

• SQL Server Reporting Services Render issues in IE

  Hi We are having an issue with reporting services when it is viewed in IE. We can design the report in visual studio and it looks fine, however when we upload the report to reporting services it displays the report incorrectly (shown below) http://static.flickr.com/103/298669551_7395fc946d.jpg When it is print previewed it looks like this (which is the correct layout) http://static.flickr.com/104/298669558_cfd56ffd0e.jpg Any advice would be most appreciated! Thanks Ross Ross, You're running into the differences between the renderers. Designer preview and print preview use a GDI-based renderer, while Report Manager uses an HTML-based renderer. There are some pretty significant differences in the way borders and other ele ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Connecting to MySQL DB other than .NET

  I'm very inexperienced with VB Express unfortunately, and I'm trying to figure out if there is any way to connect to a MySQL other than using .NET like a ODBC driver. My host restricts using .NET to access MySQL, so I'm trying to find an alternative method. Any help would be appreciated. TheMrB, Use the ODBC 3.51 drive to connect to MySQL database and make the correct connection string as follows: Public Const ConnectionString as String = "driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; Server=localhost; Database=**; uid=**; ppwd=**;" The following link shows the MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51 Downloads: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html ...Show All

• Windows Forms Error code 2869 with Vista

  We have our application Setup program created using Visual Studio 2005 (Setup & Deployment project). Our application setup program runs fine on Windows XP / 2003, however we get the following error message when we try to run the setup program under Vista: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869. According to the Windows Installer documentation, error 2869 means "The dialog [2] has the error style bit set, but is not an error dialog." I don't understand what the issue could be here Do we need to create/build a separate installer for Windows Vista I receive the same mes ...Show All

• Visual C# System.Globalization missing member

  Hi people,  I am trying to find the CultureAndRegionInfoBuilder member of the System.Globalization namespace, but someones had away with it   I'm using VS 2005 and expected it to be there like the tutorials say.

• SQL Server autogrow of log file possibly cause timeout?

  i had a problem with a server instance where an app processing a file and putting the data into the database using a stored procedure was timing out. the app is a service and in the case of errors, will try to process the file until it has been succesfully added data to the database. in the event viewer i keep seeing this message during this timeout period: "Autogrow of file 'mydatabase_log' in database 'mydatabase' was cancelled by user or timed out after 15687 milliseconds. Use ALTER DATABASE to set a smaller FILEGROWTH value for this file or to explicitly set a new file size." is there a possibility that this process was causing my SP to timeout are there any other log or debug files that SQL Express creates that might b ...Show All

• Windows Forms Coloring TabControl.

  As far as I can see TabControl object has no properties of either Back or ForeColor. Is it possible to assign these properties to this object Another question: TabPage object does have both properties but when you assign a color to it it does not cover the whole TabPage: the tab itself remains gray. Is it possible to give it colors Many thanks. nahguam wrote: Control does have a BackColor property: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control_members.aspx Having said all that I don't think the benefit of being able to change the tab color outweighs the work involved... That's what I am too afraid is the case as well. I greatly appreciate your comments. I will look into the details t ...Show All
