• Visual C# How do i find file by time of its creation ??

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dynamically generated XACT projects

  I'll admit that I haven't even investigated whether this is possible or not. Figure I'll start by asking whether it's even feasible, or if there is another technique I should be thinking about. What I'm looking to do will involve dynamically generating .wav files during the build process of certain assets. Since all audio must be pre-processed via XACT, I was wondering if there was some way of programmatically generating an XACT project file, and then building it. Ideally, this will result in audio code that is both dynamic (ie. generated by the content pipeline), and compatible with the XBox 360. Thoughts That sounds feasible to me, although it will certainly involve some work :-) I'm not aware of any docs on the XACT project f ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgraders: How much did tempdb increase after upgrade?

  I came across a passage in a book stating that the SQL 2005 version of tempdb requires "significantly" more disk space than previous versions of SQL Server. I'd like to have your opinion of how much tempdb space increased as a percentage, and what operations you see using tempdb now that didn't in previous versions I'd like to gauge feedback to estimate future growth needs and general concern. Thanks for any info! Read this Article : http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/workingwithtempdb.mspx Madhu ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Adding "Person Column" to a list

  I may be barking up the wrong tree but thought I would throw it out there. Using MOSS and the BDC, we have the capability to add Business Data as columns in a list. How would I go about creating a "People" type in my BDC that pulls the data from the user profiles in MOSS What I would like to do is have a drop down or search screen for selecting a person from the profile store instead of keying the information into a contact list and then having the information be out of date , etc... It would be much easier to just allow them to select a person and pull the data from there. They would also get the "Presense" pawn next the persons name etc.. which would be very useful. Does this sound possible Has anyone done th ...Show All

• Visual C++ LNK2001: using unmanangedC++ in manC++

  Hi, i'm writing a new user-interface for a small software-company. The old interface should be replaced by the new one, the "inner core" should stay. The old program was written in unmanaged C++, but now I'm writing the user-interface in C#, so I have to use class wrappers. While building the managed C++-project (in a solution with the unman. C++-projects) there a some errors. For example: Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argv nafxcwd.lib and Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ___argc nafxcwd.lib Another one: Error error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __pgmptr db.lib [db is one of the old unmanaged C++-projects] The settings are the following: Linker->Input->Add.

• Windows Forms deploy nonav uninstall silently

  ok Geniuses, i want to create a program that uninstalls silently For example, there is a program out there called nonav which uninstalls symantec antivirus completely however there are prompts in that program which i want to take away, and have it take the default prompts anyone know where i can begin Thanks There are instructions for doing both halves of what you are talking about (upgrading enterprise versions of SAV) at http://www.sharpebusinesssolutions.com/savce_upgrade.htm .

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to get ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames to work programmatically

  Hi everyone... For learning purposes I'm playing around with animation. One thing I can't get for the life of me to work is ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames. This should be relatively simple so I'm probably missing something. In the following code I'm simply trying to make a Storyboard that hides an "element" (which can be any FrameworkElement) after one second by updating its Visibility property. However it will not work. Any idea what I'm doing wrong I've only seen examples of keyframes in XAML but I believe I'm doing the same sort of things as all those. Help is appreciated! --- // Create the storyboard Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard(); // Add keyframe to turn off from element visibility ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrame ...Show All

• Visual Studio Setting a color on a report.

  Hi Folks. I have a report where I print some product items, every product item has color value(like: 000000). Besides the products name I would like have a litle square that is filled with the color from the color value field in the database. How could this be achived Cheers Add a rectangle next to the product item (e.g. if you use a table layout, put the rectangle into a column besides the product information). Then, on the rectangle specify the background color as an expression. Let's assume you have a dataset field called ProductColor that contains the color value as a string (e.g. "000000"), you would use the following expression: ="#" & Fields!ProductColor.Value Note: thi ...Show All
