• .NET Development XML - either ListBox or Array List

  I am writing in C# for a pocketpc application, but I think I might be better off in this neck of the woods for this part of my question.   I am writing a little program to help me figure out isotope decay on certain isotopes.  I have used the "QuickTutorials" as my guide.   Everything is displaying as it should right now, but I'm getting into a bind with the actual decay times/factors (data4 and data5 fields).  For each data4 and data5 fields, I have about 35 sets of data.  For example:  data4                                 &nb ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help removing menu item.

  I have code that scans a config file and when it finds a certin line it adds a new drop down menu item to File --> Configure --> "New Item Added" For example in the config I have a line that equals: Test = "Sample1" When the program loads and find the line with Test = "Sample1" it will add that item to the drop down menu under File --> Configure --> Sample1 this works perfectly. Now I also have an option to delete this item out of the config file and I am trying to get it to remove from the drop down menu. When you click the delete option you get a dialog box with a drop down that lists the items you can delete from the drop down menu that were loaded from the config file. When you select the item ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems making a LabelArray

  Hello all, I'm having trouble making a LabelArray in VB 2005 Express Edition. First of all, I can't find an Index property when I look at the label properties. Secondly I can't use the same name on different labels. It for use in a loop: For i As Long = 1 To 4 Label(i).Text = TextBox1.Text Next i or something like that. I need a LabelArray, but how to make it in VB 2005 Express Thanks so far. If I understand it correctly there are 2 ways to achieve this. Atm I like the second solution (with M.Controls) best, as I can use the VB enviroment to add the controls visually. I came across 1 other problem though. I also want to apply this for a series of ComboBoxes. They are all on 1 form and have all to be filled ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to send SMS to mobile from WorkFlow?

  Dear all, I need to send automatic SMS(any country) to the customers(bank) once each task is completed in the WF.How can i achieve this Which is the best way to do this Invoking the webservice or is there any activity like we using SendEmailActivity(for sending mails) or is there any other way If so..please guide me to do this providing some code snippets too. Waiting for your valuable inputs, Thanks in advance, Sunath One more thing I forgot to say - as a design choice it would be better if you have this code within a custom activity rather than in a code activity. You can then share that activity with other workflows in your application, or create designers for it, and visually model it. A code activity by itself d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Asynchrous streaming of all resources

  Hi everybody! I would like to load a really really huge world inside my game, but since it's not something procedual it would take quite a lot of memory, so i would like to be able to stream it from my disc by chunks (i don't want popping) but i don't know how to do this. Can somebody enlight me on that subject With the current XNA Content manager, that'll be hard, because the content manager doesn't release data after it's loaded. You have to unload everything in the manager to reclaim memory. Perhaps you could chunk you data into tiles, and use one content manager per tile, although this will lead to in-memory duplication of textures, meshes and effects that are re-used between tiles. In general, streaming isn't particularly har ...Show All

• SQL Server Annualizing Measures

  In the financial services world, a common requirement is to annualized a value. We've made several attempts at this. The challenge comes when using a standard Date hierarchy (Year, Quarter, Month, Date). We need to annualized a measure based on a running total of the last 6 months. We also need to take into account the early dates of the warehouse where X Months might not be available by multiplying the aggregate it by Y divided by the count of non-empty members. This seems to work for this part of the problem: Create Member CurrentCube.[Measures].[Rolling 6m Contribution] AS Case When COUNT(LASTPERIODS(6, [Date].[Month].CurrentMember), EXCLUDEEMPTY) + 1 < 6 Then Aggregate(LASTPERIODS ( 6, [Date].[Month].CurrentMember),[Me ...Show All

• Visual Basic A background process to detect user activity / How to get VB.NET to use a C# class?

  Hello all, I have a multi-form application that is running fine, but now I would like to add code that would revert the application to its startup form if there is no user activity (mouse or keyboard). I have 27 forms in my application, and instead of going into each form indiviudually and adding a timer, I was wondering if there were a method to simply have a separate application (or hidden form in the same application) that would detect mouse and keyboard activity running in the background much like the method that your Windows screen saver uses to detect whether there is activity or not before showing the screen saver. I have looked into keyboard and mouse hooks but ran into a dead end; if I understand the documentation directl ...Show All
