• Smart Device Development Selecting items in Listview

The Listview is enabled but when I add "msgbox "hello" into the "click" event of the listview nothing happens The listview is enabled, just can't understand it I also need to get the selected "text" from the item that is "clicked", how is this done Thanks is advance. I find that using the ItemActivate is the best way as no SelectedIndexChanged event is trigged when you select the same Item as the currently selected Item in the ListView. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Connecting TFS Project on a Different Domain

  Hi, I created a TFS project on a Server 2003 project on its local domain. By the way, the machine is not in the network domain. And, I tried to connect to that project from the network domain For example the username in the network name is Domain\ogulcank and i created a user in the computer as Computer\ogulcank with the same passwords But it did not see the TFS How can i get rid of this problem Any advice If the server is on a different domain and there is no trust relationship set up between them, then you will need to authenticate as a user on the server or the server's domain. When you try to connect to the server, it should prompt you with a login dialog asking for the user name and password. You will need to supply a valid user ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to: Add a rtf file to the report?

  I'm making a sales contract with the report control, what I want to do is: each time the report is generated, it will import a rtf file ( for terms and conditions ) to the report and show it correctly with the report. Is there any way I can do this with the report control Thanks in advacne. Long The current version of ReportViewer does not support rich text. (i.e., no support for mixing fonts in a single textbox.) You will need to convert the rtf to plain text before feeding it to ReportViewer. You can apply a style to the textbox, but only one style per textbox. Support for rich text is planned for a future release. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XP domain controller acting as Kerberos KDC?

  Hi, I read posts about configuring a Windows XP Prof. domain controller acting as a Kerberos KDC. Could you guide me how set this up I'd like to set up a test scencario with a client and a KDC on the same machine to achieve single sign-on fpr my applications. For me, this seems to be the easiest way... If that's not possible, how about running a KDC on a local machine and let a client contact it from the same machine Many thanks!!! I really appreciate any advice! Look a little more closely. The XP KDC is backed by Active Directory . You can certainly set up a non-AD KDC and plug custom code into WCF to talk to it, but that's purely an extensibility scenario. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there an easy way to generate a random color?

  I was trying to generate a random color to be passed into the Sprite Batch Draw function to put a tint on the sprite being drawn. mSpriteBatch.Draw(mBackground, new Rectangle (0, 0, 1024, 768), mRandomColor); However, there doesn't appear to be any way to create a new color from RGB values for the XNA frameworks Color object. I had thought that I would be able to do something similar to how you would create a new color when using the System.Drawing dll. Color mRandomColor= Color.FromArgb ( ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) , ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) , ( random.Next ( 0 , 255 ) ) ) ; Is there an easy way that I'm just overlooking to achieve that same effect Actually, it's not generating a random number that I h ...Show All

• Visual Studio New MPLex and MPPG tools in latest VSIP SDK

  First of all, thank you for finally integrating these important tools into the MPF world. I can finally (hopefully) bring my language tools out of the unmanaged world. I'm running into a few issues, and I couldn't find any documentation on them in the help files. First is that mppg doesn't seem to create an output file, it just spews text to the console. It could be that it is failing silently before it gets to the point where it is supposed to create a file. If I do mppg parser.y > parser.cs, then it spits out a mostly complete cs file. I'm not sure if that is supposed to work that way or not, but MPLex seems to spit out a file without the need for output redirection. So if I bring my parser.cs file into VS, and after I found the ...Show All
