• Visual Studio This page cannot be displayed blah, blah, blah.

  Why does Document Explorer bark up a lung when trying to display a page that it supposedly found in SQL BOL The search term is very complex: "sysobjects" in Technology = "TransactSQL" Having spent a little time now with the new system I gotta tell you, when looking for documentation I am NOT looking for an experience, I am looking for information specific to my question. In this case, Document Explorer successfully wastes my time by forcing me come here to find out why it doesn't do the most simple and mundane task I could request of it: Display content stored in the default location on my local harddrive. Even when it is successful it releases a torrent of information of negligible value and questionable appli ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Whether it supports all

  Does application created with Visual Studio .NET Compact Framework supports all kind of smart devices available in market which able to run WindowsCE Answer is YES but You should however keep the following in mind: The device must have a version of Compact Framework installed. An application built with higher version of Compact Framework won't work on a lower version of Compact Framework e.g. NETCF 2.0 app won't work on NETCF 1.0. Vice-versa is not true. Manav ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# Lack of pointer confusion

  My lights are kept in the main Game class. I register my light sources with my render manager so all of the shaders know which light sources to use. I want to be able to update a light source in the Game class (like sunlight) and it be updated for my shaders. I'm passing the source in by ref, but when it gets added to the Dictionary (which holds the name of the light and the light vector itself) it seems to be adding a copy. When I update the light in Game, it is not being updated in that Dictionary. I am pretty much new to C# but have been programming in C++ for years. In C++, I'd just store a pointer. Thanks // This code is from the shader class m_LightSources = new Dictionary<String, Vector3>(); public void AddLightSource(S ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dialog Window

  I am wanting to create a pseudo modal dialog window. Rather than using ShowDialog I want to display a xaml page in a panel that hovers over the calling window. I figure the best way to do it is to add a frame to the page and make it invisible. Then when it is required just make it visible and position it in the centre of the window. How do I go about positioning it though I want it to be centred in the window but have no idea how to do this. Any ideas Thanks Drew. I have got it working and am now trying to wrap it all into a reusable control. Will post back with the control once it is all done. Cheers. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Task Scheduler: How to get the trigger strings from TaskScheduler 2.0 Interfaces

  The Task Scheduler 2.0 Interfaces no longer appear to have the ITask interface. The ITask interface used to have a function called GetTriggerString() that returned a formatted text string of the start time of the task (for example: Every Tuesday at 10:00am starting on Wed, January 14, 2008). I created a dispatch interface in Visual Studio 6 by using Class Wizard to add a new class from typlib, and used the taskschd.dll found on Vista as the input. The generated classes do not contain the ITask interface that used to provide this function, and none of the trigger interfaces seem to provide this. The closest is the trigger's GetStartBoundary() function, but this just returns a date, not a formatted string. Is there a way to get this f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Windows application, integration with Word

  I'll try to give some application goals. I'm pretty unclear as to which technologies I need to use. I have Visual Studio 2005 Standard, and I was thinking that C# would probably be the easiest for my programming style. The application needs to be a local Windows application. There will be two main components of the application. The first one will be to create a new document, or load an existing document and edit it. Creating a document will be a wizard-type of tool where the user will answer a series of questions about the document, including typing some text at various points. The end result of this will be that the user will choose a template, such as a Word template, and the application will insert the data that the user filled ou ...Show All
