• Windows Forms Signing Project Problems

  OK, I have created a key file that I use to sign my project before building it with ClickOnce. So far this has been working fine for me. I have been able to publish new versions of my software and copies in the field will update when I upload the new version. However, recently I formatted my PC and rebuilt it. I reinstalled Visual Studio 8 and then opened my project. At which point I was presented with an Import Key File dialog box asking me for the password for my key file I use to sign the project. I assume it is doing this as the key file is not registered on my PC since I formatted it. This isn't a problem as I just enter the password I used and hit OK. My project now loads. Now when I click to publish my project, I am presented ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem deploying Excel 2003 add-in

  Hello, I successfully created an Excel 2003 add-in using VSTO SE on VS2k5. When I run the app in debug mode, the add-in displays properly within Excel. When I run the installer, the add-in does not appear (even on the same machine as the development environment. I ran the client troubleshooter tool and everything seems to be there.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Really bad sound quality with echo etc

  I'm remaking an old kids game in Game Studio Express and C# and using my old sounds that are sampled 11025 and in mono. The sounds are ofcourse not so good from the beginning but when played in GoldWave they are ok. However, when used for creating a soundbank etc with XACT and played from my program it sounds really horrible. A lot of echos and the sound is like comming from the inside of a very small bathroom. I have tried to resample and changed some settings but it is still the same. Are there any demands for the wave-file uses as sources for XACT Are there any settings for the sounds that I have missed Any suggestions for how to resample or make the sound quality as in the original files Hard to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is Boo a viable option for Scripting for both PC and XBox360?

  I'm just wondering if anyone has tried getting Boo to work for scripting on the XBox360, or is there some feature that Boo takes advantage of on the PC that isn't available on the console I've been reading that IronPython isn't an option, and LuaInterface wouldn't work either, since P/Invoke doesn't seem to be supported for security reasons. Can anyone shed some light It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin Boo's core is P/Invoke free (but you can put a P/Invoke in your Boo-based library if you want). Boo is System.Reflection.* free as long as you do not use duck-typing. ...Show All

  Is it possible to draw a line as shown in the pic on a single form The line in the image is drawn on a second form which is transparent so form1 is visible. As indicated, it turns on the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT window style. With this style set, Windows ensures that all windows "below" the window get painted first and the transparent window last. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) snap to device pixel for DrawingContext

  For performance reasons, I am using DrawingContext / OnRender. However, I would like to snap to the device pixel. Is there a way to do it at this level thanks Hmmm, Unfortunately, the only hints I can give you are the one I found while experimenting... Be advised that I might be wrong; however, I did obtain the result I was aiming for. I was trying to draw a "pixel snapped" line using dc.DrawLive(), the line was however sometimes blurry... I tried creating a GuidelineSet with a GuidelinesX set to the same coordinate where I was drawing the line... This had the unfortunate result of blurring ALL my lines (even those which were not blurred before)... Investigating, I found out that ...Show All

• Visual C++ I want to add/remove ES_PASSWORD(CEdit) style, dynamically.

  Hi all, How can I change style ES_PASSWORD of CEdit, dynamically ModifyStyle() didn't work. I just want to add/remove this style dynamically. Thanks. :) Purusothaman A Hi, We can use SetPasswordChar function to change the password style dynamically. m_EditBox.SetPasswordChar(_T('$')); - will set '$' as password char and m_EditBox.SetPasswordChar(0) ; - will remove the password style. The above function works fine with both VS2003 and VS2005. Thanx & Regards, Ch.T.Gopi Kumar. ...Show All

• Visual C# Switch Statement vs. If-else if-else

  Hi Guys! Will I get better performance if I use a switch statement instead of If, else if and else statements ~Matt ahmedilyas wrote: the case statement will be faster than an if else statement. That turns out not always to be the case (if you'll pardon the pun). First, lets be clear that there are many uncertainties to be considered - the IL generated from the statement(s) in question, the native opcodes the IL is translated into, the capabilities of the hardware those opcodes are executing upon and so forth. Even when we know the answer to some of these questions today, our assumptions might be invalidated by future changes in technologies such as branch prediction, instruction pipe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to prevent Explorer to open the "Prepare this disc" dialog

  Hello, I'm working on a tool to mount arbitrary sessions on a multi session disc. It works fine on W2k and XP. On Vista, it also works fine, as long I issue my mount commands via a command line application. Using a shell extension on Vista with a recorder device, quite frequently causes Explorer to open the "Prepare this disc" dialog. Clicking Next and confirming disc preparation usually damages the media. Question: How to avoid Explorer from opening this dialog Hello Garret, thanks for your reply. I tested the IOCTL, but without success: The format dialog still appears quite frequent. DeviceIoControl(STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL) returns 1. It seems to be a timing issue: My sequence of IOCTLs to execute ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I define a class to be accessible from other classes.

  Hello I have a class called CHardware. I would like to define this class once as: CHardware hardware = new Hardware(); Then be able to access hardware from any where in my program. Such as from within other classes. How do I do that. David You should search the web for Object Oriented Programming. But anyway, I suspect you have a class namespace MyApplication.Objects public class Hardware { // default constructor public Hardware() { } //properties //methods } From another class if this class is in the same solution at the top of your code indicate using MyApplication.Objects now you can say: Hardware myHardware = new Hard ...Show All
