Visual C# Project Idea
Hello every one, I have just recently started coding away with C# and decided that this would be a suitable language to produce third year project for my degree course for various different reasons. I am still researching couple of ideas, was wondering if any of you bright people would kindly give me some ideas which will not only be a fun project to work on but something i can learn from. p.s. I have a good understanding of OOP Thanks in advance Strongly advise going the web route rather than winforms... everyone seems to want it. The trick here is to decide what industry you fancy i.e. banking and specifically code something to match that. Will help greatly with your career. ...Show All
Windows Forms Passing data between forms
HI i am trying to pass data form one form to another. I can do it with one piece of data (have only 1 textbox in my form,click send, and it gets send to the other form) but when i put 2 textboxes on my form1 i cant figure out how to do it. Any suggestions PS i used the Constructor approach when passing the 1 set of data between the 2 forms. Instead of the TextBox, pass a reference to the form. Now you can access all the controls and properties of the form. The Q&D way is: In Form1.vb: Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim frm As Form2 = New Form2(Me) frm.Show() End Sub In Form2.vb: Public Class Form2 Priva ...Show All

Visual C++ Collecting external dependencies
Hi everyone I have a couple of projects that I move around different computers and that others also need to work with from time to time. It depends on a few external pieces of software, e.g. python. What I would like is a simple way of packaging up the locations of these software packages, so that I can use $(PYTHON_HOME)\include, $(PYTHON_HOME)\Libs and the occasional $(PYTHON_SRC)\PCBuild8 and have them all change magically. I don't want to define environment variables and since these are not the only projects I nor my colleagues work on I don't want to add these paths into the global IDE settings. Ideally I'd like a file simply defining these variables, but I just can't find a way to do so. I thought I had a workaround using ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using windows forms components with XNA?
Is it possible to use windows forms components with XNA For instance... what if I wanted to add a menu bar to my game I realize that most games have their own interface, but it would still be very useful to have (especially for setting up quick temporary interfaces).

SQL Server Sharing remotely
Can you use SQL Express remotely instead of locally. I have been told that I might be able to use SQL Express as my network server for sharing files. Is this possible, or do I need a different version of SQL to do this I have been reading the VBE forums and from what I gathered was that SQL Express is only for a local table only, is this true If not, what is the work around, and how do I go to another pc to find out if it is sharable I would hate to get several months in my app design and learn that I was headed in the wrong direction. Thanks David Mike, Is it possible to run a T-SQL script during deployment to enable the remote connection functionality I read the link and it mention ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Tabcontrol
Hello everybody! I ran into a problem using the .NET 2.0 Tabcontrol: I need to have the single tabs left-aligned instead of top-aligned, but when I set the alignment property in the visual designer to "left", something goes wrong with the control. Eg. the text displayed on the tab registers disappears and the whole control seems to look a little strange (can't point the finger on something specific though...). Without the text on the registers the thing becomes somewhat useless. So, is there a way to fix it or any kind of work-around Thanks a lot, Tobias Koerner You P/Invoke declaration is wrong, change it like this: private static extern int SetWindowTheme(Intptr hWnd, string a ...Show All
Audio and Video Development Blu-ray
Does it bring bad luck to ask this on this forum :) Anyone knows of documentation or sites about BD-J mode, HDMV is a bit limited. BluPrint is better than Scenarist BD. It is most easy to make a BD with it than with Scenarist BD. And you see what you do...

Samsung player don't play it because it don't support it (and it have not a ethernet connection, not web, no network). Golgot13 ...Show All
