• SQL Server Calendar Control issues

  Hi all, When I click on a calendar control for date parameters the page will freeze or throw a java script error. This does not happen all the time, and is not isolated to one PC. It happens randomly on several PCs. Is there any known issue with this control regards, Bill Just to clarify, we are aware of the issue with the script errors and how to fix it. In order to be fixed in a QFE, a customer will need to contact CSS and request the fix, otherwise look for the fix in a future release. If your are hindered by this issue, your best course of action is to contact Customer Support and request a fix. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to change fontweight for different parts of text in textbox

  I'm trying to change the fontweight for different parts of text in a textbox, but it seems that the fontweight applies only to the textbox as a whole. Below is what I want to do, how can I get this to work I have a textbox inside a rectangle that is the same width of the rectangle, the text align is centered. The expression of the textbox is: ="Date from: " & Parameters!DateFrom.Value & " Date to: " & Parameters!DateTo.Value I would like "Date from:" and "Date to:" to be Normal weight and "Parameters!DateFrom.Value" and "Parameters!DateTo.Value" to be Bold weight.

  Hi all, I'm trying to create a new cell within the new DataGridView (.NET 2 Beta). For example, I'm trying to create a cell which contain a RichTextBox, I succeed with the appearance of the rich text box controll but there is a lot of irregular behavior.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Playing Cards ?

  How would I approach a 3D representation of a playing card(s) If using a model, would 52 different models be required so that each card has it's own texture Can user primitives (i.e. 2 triangles to make a card shape) have different textures on each side What would be the best method for this Bill Reiss wrote: And when I say I'd like a 3D card rendering engine, I'm not talking about the dime-a-dozen card engines out there, I'm talking about something almost photo-realistic for the cards (similar to how pretty the Pocket-Jongg sample in the video montage makes those mah-jongg tiles look). And I'd like it to be free to the XNA community. Hey well I can dream. So who wants to take that project on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems with table borders

  Hi, if I have two cells and border between them, it seems that I can set same border from both sides. From left cell I can set right border and right cell - left border. In design view, If i set that border only from left cell it will show gray line (as no border). But when I preview it in the form, it shows border! So unless I set border from both cells it is showed as I expect in design view, but that doubles my work and is illogical.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Reducing Browser Memory Leaks

  I spotted this in the google API documentation and wonder if it has been address in VE Reducing Browser Memory Leaks The Google Maps API encourages the use of function closures , and the API event handling system GEvent attaches events to DOM nodes in such a way that almost inevitably causes some browsers to leak memory, particularly Internet Explorer . Version 2 of the Maps API introduces a new method, GUnload() , that will remove most of the circular references that cause these leaks. You should call GUnload() in the unload event of your page to reduce the potential that your application leaks memory: I just posted a reply to another thread about memory leaks. To solve the memory leak problem, call Dispose in the page u ...Show All
