• Windows Forms relationships

  hi, ive got a table 'bills' bills contains all kinds of bills. ive got 3 datagridviews. one is binded to a multiplebills table. and the other two to bills. dgv1 should display all bills that fall under the selected multiple bills and when select one bill from the dgv2, it should display all bills that concern different clients. i.e 1 bill is to many bills that is to many clients bills. hard to explain. how do i built relationships that all fall within the same table I am guessing you would have to have the data in 3 datatables in a dataset. Then you could create a relationship between the datatables. The other possibly is to use a 3 dataviews and use the rowfilter to limit the records that are seen in the other d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why do commas, periods count as separate words?

  I'm using the Direct3D Font object to draw a paragraph of text to the screen, and I'm finding that for some reason the lines don't break on punctuation like they should... // _msg = the string to draw, _size is a vector2, x/y are integers _font.DrawText(null, _msg, new Rectangle(_x, _y, (int)_size.X, (int)_size.Y), D3D.DrawTextFormat.Left | D3D.DrawTextFormat.WordBreak, _shadowColor); It beats me why this is happening, but i get the following kind of line break: Joey went to the store , and then he realized that this line starts with a comma. Standard line breaking suggests that either the comma should appear right after the word "store", or else the entire word "store" should appear on the next line, with ...Show All

• Visual Studio Contacting the VS SDK Team??

  Hello, the company I work for saw some of the personal coding that I had done for plugins into Visual Studio and are interested in possibly persuing some SDK development as a company project. However, when they saw that an individual had to sign up to a Passport account that has personal liability to the individual in the terms of use of the Passport account and couldn't sign in as the company they had some questions. Does anyone have an email address of a contact that I would be able to pass on to my company's legal department Or is there anyway to gain access to the VSIP sites and sign up without a passport account BRCEWANE wrote: So the concern is that if the company is asking an employe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Retrieve cell value

  Hello, I would think this would be a rather easy task but it has thoroughly confused me. I am trying to take the value in cell[1,10], which is the result of a formula, and assign it to a variable in my code. So far, I have been unable to do this. I am using Excel 2003, C#. This is my code: If (dbConnection.Open != null) { Cells[1,10] = "Success"; } //Below is what does not work. string aString = (string)cells[1,10]; I have also tried, string aString = Cells.get_Value(Cells[1,10]); Any help would be very much appreciated.

• Community Chat your computer is ready to compute

  as many know when you don't have the latest CPU you'll have to wait when your computer is ready to compute. also many handicapped persons, which area doesn't matter, are waiting when their pc is ready to compute. all other persons watch the LED of their HD, when it goes out. and watch the mousepointer becomes to standstill. whatever, the case is, you'll have to WAIT..... why don't you make a neat little program that can be implemented in any MS OS, Vista included, that tells you by sound and vision: YOUR COMPUTER IS READY TO COMPUTE. the idea is seen on Startrek serials which were made by the fabulous Gene Roddenberry. the computer on board of the Enterprise told their crew members that "she" was "rea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Scripted Users

  Is the idea that when the final product comes out that the script of the user will have all the permissions the user has to objects in the database I have not seemed to get it to script those permissions yet. I just tried with CTP6. Our existing VSS integration we do separation the user permissions from the objects themselves and want to make sure this will continue to work for us. Hi Andy, Just to understand where are you seeing the missing permissions, is it the import database or deployment or schema compare you are doing while observing this issue. We have made some changes to the system to pull some database level permissions which it was missing before while doing schema comapre. We woul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Survey: Use Xbox 360 Controller with PC Game?

  I'm just curious what the community thinks... For my upcoming XNA-based game -- which will almost certainly be released for the PC before the Xbox 360 -- should I require users to use an Xbox 360 controller Reasons to use the Xbox 360 controller: 1. I will need only ONE input routine. I won't have to worry about checking the keyboard or mouse so I can optimize the routine to be as fast as possible for the Xbox 360 controller. 2. All functionality can be accessed via the Xbox 360 controller via menus or the virtual keyboard (which is pretty much standard for any game on the Xbox 360). 3. Once I get everything running on the PC, porting my game to the Xbox 360 will be fairly painless. (I hope!) Reasons NOT to use ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamically passing a Parameter Name to Custom Code

  Hello, I'm trying to create a custom code function for Reporting Services. I would like to have it user-friendly and give the user the ability to pass a report parameter name into the function (so it can be a generic function that can be used for many reports). Is there a way to do this so inside the code I can have access to other properties of the object I envision something like: Function Blah(ParameterName as String) as String Dim MaxNum as Integer Dim ParamValue as String MaxNum = Reports.Parameters!ParameterName.Count - 1 ParamValue = Reports.Parameters!ParameterName.Value etc... Is this possible I can't figure out how to do this. Using dynamic SQL you can do this very easily by concatenating string values toget ...Show All
