• SQL Server Installing ASP.NET 2.0

  Hello, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding the requirement of SQL Express of ASP.NET 2.0 and that this may "break" existing applications that require ASP.NET 1.1 and will not run on ASP.NET 2.0 Thanks in advance! Tim Hello, I have Business Objects XI Release I which has a tool called Business View Manager. This tool worked fine running on ASP.NET 1.1, but stopped working after I upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0. This is a known issue by Business Objects. But none-the-less, I have an installed customer base of over 150 users and it is impossible to tell what applications they have installed on their computers. I realize that not everyone may run into this problem with Busi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reset or not reset a IDirect3DDevice9?

  Hi @ all, i'd want know if calling IDirect3DDevice9::reset() is the correct way after switching from windowed mode to fullscreen. In PresentParameters there are some attributes that have sense only in fullscreen mode, as well as FullScreen_RefreshRateInHz or MultiSampleType. Have I to call reset() function Is it the correct way What do I have still to check Thx ;) Yes Reset() is the right way to switch to full screen, it's also the way to change any present parameter. Take care that windows style often need to be modified when moving to fullscreen : see Dx tutorial Step 1-"Creating a Window" for more details about that. You could also have a look to DXUT code which does that well. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB .net tab control multi line...

  Ok, I am creating a new version of a program in vb .net. The main page has a tab control with 7 tabs on it to select your general category. However, the two word text does not always fit on these tabs. I want the text to wrap instead of just going out of view off of the tab. However, there is no wrapping option or way to get the text on multiple lines(like there was in VB 6), except for forcing it by inserting a new line character into the text. But if I do it that way the text is no longer vertically OR horizontally centered and looks very bad, and is plainly unacceptable. So, is there any way to get the text on multiple lines on the tab control I have been looking everywhere for this option and it is simply not there. Thank you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When to create new object identities in DLinq?

  I was just trying to understand the semantics of LINQ. I was wondering whether the standard query operators like, e.g., 'Select()' and 'Where()' will automatically create new object identities for their result. I was trying to evaluate the following query using DLinq (the Customers and Order classes stem from the standard example Northwind database): Customers.Select (c => c.Orders.Where (o => o.OrderID < 11000)); This expression will yield a result of type List<List<Order>>. My question relates to the nested lists of type List<Order>. Note that these Order lists are not the original Order lists objects embedded in the queried Customer objects: the Where() restricts the original lists. I'd thus expect the above q ...Show All

  Hi guys, I am a student where my lecturer dumped me a final year project on bar code scanning. I am wondering if possible to have a scanner to read the bar codes from a card where most of singapore students have it like:http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/bomberchia/image.jpg And when scanned, the scanner would read the identification number of student, and be prompted a new form if the student have not used the service, and the form will be used to fill up the details of students. eg address, blood type, bla bla bla. any idea to help me start out Without understanding much of what your requirements are : Some pointers to barcode scanning : 1) a barcode is nothing more that a visual representation of informat ...Show All

• Commerce Server Extending Baskets and PurchaseOrders

  If I want to add properties to both the Basket and Purchase Order classes, do I have to extend each of them separately The Documentation says not to extend from OrderForm directly. Also, if the answer is that I indeed need to extend both the PurchaseOrder and Basket classes, how do I map the basket changes since there doesn't appear to be a Basket class for the storage mapping anywhere. Thanks, Dave Colin, If you extended PurchaseOrder how did you define the new class since it isn't there by default in the OrderPipelineMappings.xml Did you just ad a new reference Austin Adamson ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Descriptions for Table Columns

  Hi, Iam trying to forward engineer a sql server database using Enterprise Architect. Iam able to forward engineer the tables, but Iam not able to view the descriptions for the columns and tables in the Sql Server. I tried to search for this issue on the web and also in the forums, but did not get any concrete solution. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Prashu Hi Prashu, During the forward generation, we're not populating the table/column description to the backend. The reason is that we're using the SQL Server DDL script to populate the backend. Create table DDL syntax does not allow the user to supply the table/column description.
