Visual Basic How to retrive from a databbase using vb.net
i want to make a search box and when the user for something i want it to search it the databse and show the resultat. can someone help me how we do this with the code. tanks I have given an example in my code ;-) To me it seems you do not know SQL Server, so I would suggest you learn about it :-) It is mandatory these days to know SQL Server. a SQL Server query is just a query which returns results (for example) with a certain criteria, as I had posted. ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ComboBox custom ControlTemplate
Hi, Just a simple question (I hope). I've created a custom control (below) - basically it's just a TextBox with some extra features, which is displayed in the right hand cell of a grid, with a label in the left hand cell. It all works very nicely, and I thought it would be just as simple to do the same thing with a ComboBox. So I gave it a try, replacing the references to "local:CustomTextBoxBase" in the example below with "ComboBox"... but I'm blowed if I can get it to work - I see the Label, but there is no sign of the ComboBox.... Am I missing something obvious (I expect so.) Any pointers would be much appreciated! <Style x:Key="{x:Type local:CustomTextBox}" TargetType="{x:Type local:Cus ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Another "Do not expose generic lists" question - ForEach
I understand the thinking behind the rule to not expose List<T>, but I was wondering if there is a recommended way to handle the need for performance. We are exposing generic List<T> in retrieve methods on objects in our business model (using Gentle.NET persistence engine). This is primarily for consumption by our web services layer, which retrieves various objects and populates transport/payload objects for transmission to our smart client. We use anonymous delegates with the .ForEach() method on the List to quickly enumerate the list of objects and then populate serializable dictionaries in the payload object. If I modify the business model objects to expose ICollection<T> for example, we will take a performance hit ...Show All
Visual Basic app.config settings
I have a solution made up of 2 projects; ProjA is a windows forms app, and ProjB is a Data Access DLL. ProjA references ProjB and uses methods and objects from ProjB to get it's data. The connection information for ProjB is defined in an app.config file (within ProjB). When running within VS2005 everything work fine (i.e changes to the settings are reflected in the connection string built and used by ProjB). I now want to do some testing of the application on another machine so have done a build of the solution. The ProjA\bin\release folder contains most of the files that I would expect (including the ProjB.DLL), but there is no ProjB.DLL.config file. However the application runs fine on the other computer! - Where is it getting t ...Show All

Visual C++ LNK 2019, inline functions
I made a class in the header file class Foo { public: float area(float x, floaty); }; in the .cpp I tried #include "Foo.h" inline float Foo::area(float x, floaty) { //lot's and lot's and lot's of stuff . . return variable; } and I get... error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: float __thiscall Foo::area(float x, floaty)" If I take away the inline everything works. No, we don't want the code to be in the header. What am I doing wrong ( 2003 .NET) Maybe it's worth adding that VS 2003 & 2005 support what is called "link time code generation". This allows the compiler to inline functions even if you are not using inline and the function is defined in a ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating A Game Library (Best Practices?)
I've created a 'Windows Game Library' project to act as a re-usable API on which to build my games. It will contain most the basics... Sprite drawing objects, Line drawing, Bitmap Fonts, Input, etc... The thing I'm running into is how best to give my library layer access to all the important details from the game layer. Properties in the GraphicsComponent and Graphics Device are two good examples. Should I design all my objects to take a "Game" object as a parameter and call back using that Is there a better way What are other people doing Thanks. If you are building a "Scene Graph", then usually the objects don't hold any reference to the GraphicsDevice or related components. They are just passed to them in ...Show All
