• Visual C# @ operator, what is its meaning

  Hi! In example, in this code: fs = new FileStream (@sFile, Modo); What's the meaning of '@' I'm looking for, but i don't know what's the name in english of this character (in spanish 'arroba'). Regards. The "@" character has another use that may be more in line with the example in the original post. By prefixing "@" to a keyword, you can use that keyword as an identifier. For example, you can do this: class @ void { ... } This defines a class with the name "void", even though "void" is a keyword. You can then refer to it in the same way: @ void foo = new @ void (); Obviously, this is a rather contrived example and you should avoid wr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Find Combinations, to Create Strings, to Match the 666 Bible Code.

  Anyone who has heard of 666, should find this interesting. Scenario: Each letter in the English Alphabet has a numerical value. The 'Base Value' for the first letter in the Alphabet is: 'A' =6 The 'Progression Value' for each letter, thereafter is: 'P' = 6 So: A=6, b=12, c=18, d=24, ect. 'M a r k o f B e a s t': tallies to, 666. I've already written a VB program that allows the user to enter in a base value, progression value, and a name/string. After hitting the 'compute total' button, the name is calculated, a progressive alphabet is displayed, and you can find out, if someone's name, totals to '666'. You can also run a dictionary through, and then sort the totals, in a listview. Can anyone help me add another func ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Backup Files?

  I spent several hours starting a new game my friends and I are going to be working on, explicitly hitting save every so often... However, I discovered that VS doesn't actually create the project directory until you close the project. My computer stays on 24/7, why should I close VS for the night I discovered this when I hit execute and was greeted by the Blue Screen of Death. I have searched by hard drive for the project name and the names of various files I know should be in the directory, however the only thing that comes up is an empty folder in the VS "Backup Files" directory.   Anyways, on to the XNA related stuff, I got the BSOD after changing the indices in my call to DrawIndexedUserPrimitives.

• SQL Server parameters not updated on re-publish

  RS2005 sp1 - I have a report that was published to the report server. I needed to make changes to some of the parameters. I changed them to be INTERNAL. When I re-published the report from visual studio to the server (selecting overwrite item if exists) - that INTERNAL parameters were still showing and active when I chose VIEW report. Then I tried the Upload File from the report server to see if that would behave differently ... but I got the same result. Can someone tell me why this is happening I am having the same problem, if anyone can help I would appreciate it. I recognize that deleting the deployed report fixes the problem but for a fast paced environment that is not very efficient. We are on ...Show All

• Windows Forms Pass Path to OpenFileDialog

  Is there a way to pass a path to the OpenFileDialog everytime the dialog is shown I tried the InitialDirectory but that works the first time (obviously) but if I change the path, the open dialog goes back to the last opened directory. Thanks, Greg I tried that and I don't see any difference since it just still opens the dialog back to the last opened position. I have a tree node with a list of vendors. Each vendor has a specific source path for their files. So when I go to the first vendor and open the dialog, it goes to the initialdirectory folder which is fine. However, if I go to another vendor who has a different path for the source, then when I open the dialog, it opens the dialog to the la ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance: Passing large arrays from .NET to COM components

  Hi, I am working on a COM component in C++ that will be used by .NET clients. Clients frequently pass large arrays of points in Cartesian coordinates (i.e. XYZs) to the component. I'd like to know the most efficient way to do this. My tests show conformant arrays are ~7 times faster than safearrays. Safearrays were ~6 faster than sending the array's data one point at a time. So I'd like to use conformant arrays, but I want to make sure they are "safe." Here is my IDL struct Vec3 { double x; double y; double z; }; HRESULT SendData ( [ in ] int numPts, [ in , size_is (numPts)] struct Vec3 pts[]); And it is called from C# with code like this: GCHandle gcHandle = GCHandle ...Show All
