• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Displaying transparent images on a canvas

  Maybe this isn't allowed, but I tried to display a gif with a transparent area on a canvas and it didn't work. I converted the original image to a .png with a transparent area and it didn't work either. Am I trying to do something that isn't available, or did I do something stupid Thanks! I had someone else use my html and xaml have the same problem. He swapped in a different transparent .png file and it worked, so it sounds like I pooted the .png. Funny it looks fine in IE. I've got zero experience with .png, so I'll have to play with that and see if I can produce one that works. -Dave ...Show All

• Visual C++ CScrollbar Question

  I'm trying to find out where the scroll box is while it's being dragged. When I do a TRACE() using GetScrollPos() it returns the starting position. How do I get ahold of the position while I'm scrolling The problem is that nPos in OnVScroll is a 16bit value. If you scroll positions are larger than you can't rely on the argument. You need to use GetScrollbarInfo, with this function you can get the true 32bit position of the scrollbar! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Templates in VS2005 Pro?

  Has anyone tried using VS2005 Pro for XNA Games I know you need C# Express installed, but if you copy the templates to the VS2005 folders and reference the DLLs, will it work Today I discovered that my MSDN subscription (bought for me by the company I work for) allows me to use VS2005 Pro at home. I don't really do any development other than playing with XNA, so I was just wondering if it was worthwhile installing it or not It is possible to fiddle with the templates or create new ones that work on VS2005 Pro but in your case if you haven't got it setup then there's not a huge reason to bother. For C#, VSExpress offers most of the features you need (play around with tool/options - some things are tur ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Native C++ vs C# (managed code)

  Hi I want to develop a SDK for windows embedded platform which can be used to write applications that talk to my wireless driver. The wireless driver can be run for various processor architectures and for different interfaces like USB/PCI etc. Which is the better choice for writing an SDK: 1. Native C++ 2.

• SQL Server SQL Server Table DML

  1) We have 2 SQL Server 2005 servers databases with disconnected architecture i.e. wireless. 2) For some tables, we need unidirectional copy of DML changes from one database to another and for others a bi-directional copy. 3) Replication is not possible. Triggers are not allowed. What about backup and recovery Any files that get generated can be copied from server to server using WAP. 4) Can we read from .ldf log file to generate DML statements to be applied on the other side 5) Can we take Trace to file/table for DML statements/events that occur on a single table 6) What we are planning is have emp and emp1 in one DB same initially and all differences will be stored in a text column i.e. inserts, deletes and updates that occured later. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating ADO.NET DataSet definition files, C#

  Hello, I do reporting solutions, VS2005,C#, SQL Server 2005. I am looking for a way to set up a typed ADO.NET DataSet definition reference before actually generating a DataSet. I heard it can be done thru a C# Class, XML Schema .xsd file, etc. What options do I have Thanks, Serge Serge, That depends on what type of application it is. If it's a windows client application, you can use System.Diagnostics.Process to start xsd.exe. If you are on a system like a web server, or where you don't have access to the file system, you can directly use the Typed DataSet code generator. However, this is not a trivial task, and if you can use xsd.exe, I would highly recommend it. xsd.exe can run under ...Show All
