Visual Studio Express Editions how to get hardware IDs of system
how to get Hardware ID,serial no,model no of pc Harddisk,Processor,motherboard etc.... you could use WMI for this approach. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=845223&SiteID=1 be sure to add a reference to System.Management and import the namespace. I would also suggest downloading this cool tool which allows you to go through the WMI engine and go to specific classes and get information you want and it also generates VB.NET/C# code for you: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=2CC30A64-EA15-4661-8DA4-55BBC145C30E&displaylang=en ...Show All

SQL Server Problems with Reporting services
I just installed SQL Server Express Advanced. I previous had SQL Server EXpress installed, which I didn't uninstalled. The problem is that, when I look in Services, it is not started and when I try to start it, I get a warning: "SQL Server Reporting Services started and stopped, some services stop automatically if they have no work to do". I have IIS installed and running. I have disabled Apache web server. What could be the problem Thank you. I have solved the problem partially. I have re-installed the .Net Framework, because initially when I installed it, I did not have IIS installed. Now that IIS is installed I re-installed the Framework and the Server Status is up and running. So, in my humble ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. End users shouldn't have to rewrite XNA math functions in order to improve performance.
The overhead of passing a 64 byte Matrix by value is significant. Most especially when you are comparing two matrices for equivalency (==), or performing a Vector*Matrix multiplication (Vector3.Transform(Matrix)). The following matrix comparison function performs 5-10 times better than your built in == comparison. If the matrices are equal, then it is about 5 times faster. If they are unequal then it fails fast, and is about 10 times faster. public static bool Equals(ref Matrix a, ref Matrix b) { // i check the diagonal first for quick fails return a.M11 == b.M11 && a.M22 == b.M22 && a.M33 == b.M33 && a.M44 == b.M44 && a.M12 == b.M12 && a.M13 == b.M13 && a.M1 ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need help controlling forcefeedback functions with labview
Hello, I am working on my engineering senior design project and need to control a force feedback joystick using software called labview. It looks like the easiest way to accomplish this is through DirectX. Labview has the ability to import .dll functions as well as .net and activex functions. If someone tell me the best way for me to accomplish this or at least point me to a specific kb to read that would be great. I've found a lot of forums about the same subject but the explanations were very vague. I have Visual Studio 2005 as well the DirectX sdk installed if that helps. thanks a lot! I already found those samples in the SDK and tried playing around with them, unfortunately it was beyond my p ...Show All
SQL Server SSIS Shared Configuration files -SP2 Problem
Hello, I have several packages that share one configuration file located at a network location. Up until i installed sp2 everything worked fine, but now the packages "loose" the path to the configurationfile. It is replaced by some c:\program\sqlserver\package.... path where no config file is located. I can run packages if i specify the config file explicetly, but I really don't wanna do that, since it will not work in the context i'm working. I am using the wizard to install my packages. Anyone with similar problems Any help appriciated. Note: This is not the issue that sp1 solved (for me at least). =) ...Show All
Visual FoxPro Configuration requirements to allow VFP7 to be called from ASP.NET on IIS6
Hello, I am in a similar situation to 'cpf' who posted "VFP7 COM+ error while calling from ASP.Net 2.0 on IIS6" earlier today. Since I don't know if my problem or manner of usage is DCOM or COM+, I wanted to start a new thread, outline what I have tested, and see if anyone has any pointers on how I may reconfigure my server to allow VFP7 to be started by an ASP.NET web page. I started in VB Express 2005, created a new project as a class library, added a reference to Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 Type Library under the COM tab, renamed the automatically created class1.vb file to VFPInterop.vb, and typed in the following code: Public Class VFPInterop Public Shared Function CreateVFPInstance() As Boolean Dim vfpAPP As Visua ...Show All
Visual Basic datetime manipulation
Hi there! I’m a newcomer, so I’m not sure this is the correct thread...sorry if it’s not... I have the following problem: I need to show in a windows Form the conversion from a normal dd/mm/yyyy shown in a date time picker to two textboxes (and viceversa). The first containing the day of the year (from 1 to 366) and the second the year itself (this oe is easy!). For example: txtdayofyear.text = "360", txtyear.text="2006" ->> Datetimecontrol.value="26/12/2006" My problem grows as i need to convert from one format to another in both senses, depending of what button the user presses. I have found a Date "dayofyear" funvtion, which gives me the partial solution, but I still don’t ...Show All
SQL Server Union for two sets with where clause
Hi, I have situation where I'm returning comparing data from two date ranges in a chart in MS Reporting Services. In regular SQL, I simply do a UNION between two select statements. I also have a dummy column returned to distinguish between the two selects. i.e. Select *, 1 As 'DataSet' from tblData Where startDate >= @sdate AND endDate <= @edate UNION ALL Select *, 2 As 'DataSet' from tblData Where startDate >= @sdate2 AND endDate <= @edate2 In MDX, I've only seen a UNION for the columns, but not with the WHERE clause included. Is it possible to have a where clause for each set What's the syntax Thanks a lot! Well, I'm having some problems with this query. In addition to the above, I wan ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is "best practise" for databinding custom controls with xmlFile from xaml ?
Hello.. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to databind a custom control from xaml with an XmlDocument. My problem is how to generate the ItemCollection. Example, myListBox control containing a List of <myListBoxItem>. In codebehind it is very easy to create a ... List<myListBoxItem> myItems = new List<myListBoxItem>(); ...and then use... myItems.add(..); What I’m looking for is a very simple example where this is done so after the databinding has been made in xaml (with xml) I have an customized ItemCollection (in this case myListBoxItem) that I can control, add events, animate or whatever I wanna do from my parentContainer (myListBox) Hope I made myself clear, otherwise I’ll try to clar ...Show All
