• Windows Forms Problem with modal forms

  hi, i created my own dialog, which is opened with ShowDialog(). thus a modal form is shown on top of the calling form. but when the calling form is not on top (other windows overlaying it) when the modal form is shown, it's rendered behind the calling form. not even clicking on the calling form brings the modal dialog to front. only clicking the modal form itself (when a part of it is visible) displays the form. that looks like a bg for me. is there a workaround for the bug thanks in advance! This may happen if you have forms with the TopMost property set to True. Or if you pass an argument (the owner) to ShowDialog... ...Show All

• Visual Basic Calling a sub and NOT recieving focus to the sub caller

  Hello, and I am trying to write a program that hopefully in the future will sell (That's just background info, not the problem) so I'm not going to be super-duper-specific about the program. The program will do very basic authentication (simply retrieving a user list from the registry and comparing it to the user-supplied username) and will call a sub in another form when the user is authenticated. I've got the authentication to work, but is there a way to call a sub in another form and give the other form focus (ex. call Form1.MySub from Form2 and give Form1 focus until the user closes the form or another form - just an example) If someone could help, that would be great! Sure, on the first form you have ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I write an OUTER APPLY without a table function?

  I'd like to select the last unshipped order, or if none is open, the last shipped order, for each customer. I noticed that all the examples on line for OUTER APPLY involve table-valued functions, but I have read (in a book I don't have here) that a subquery can work. The following shows what I want, but it isn't valid syntax: SELECT c . CustomerName , oa . OrderNumber , oa . Status   FROM Customers c   OUTER APPLY (     SELECT TOP 1 CustomerID , OrderNumber ,     CASE WHEN ShipDate IS NULL          THEN 'due ' + CAST ( DueDate AS VARCHAR )          ELSE 'shipped ' + CAST ( S ...Show All

• .NET Development Set User Authenticated Programmatically

  Hello I'm not sure if this is the right forum so excuse me in advance. I'm developing a ASP.NET 2.0 C# Website having custom Membership, Role and SiteMap providers using the Login Control. This site should validate the user both through the login control and automatically when a specific key is set. The usage of Login system is perfect, the Membership.ValidateUser is called , the Login events raise correctly and the SiteMapProvider renders the correct items. The problem arise when I get the key; with this key the sw is able to get the user credentials but I'm not able to instruct the ASP.NET that the user is valid and let the Role and SiteMap providers work as they do when Login control is used. I tried to call directly the Mem ...Show All

• SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Slow to start in some cases (have disabled certificate check)

  If I open SSMS from the start menu it opens instantly. If I double click on a sql file in explorer it takes about 10 seconds for it to open (either in the existing instance, or a new one if one is not opened already) . If I try and open it by double clicking on a sql when visual studio is stopped at a break point, it takes about 20 seconds. How can I speed it up I'm bit confused why do you perform a RDP on that computer to open the files, apologies if I'm wrong.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Middle/Common Biz Tier

  I'm trying to prove out an idea. The goal is to provide a physical tier for my biz logic, however I want to enable/open this tier to .net client and other non-.net clients (Java and CFMX)...basically tcp and http/soap. So here's my idea... first I tried using .net Remoting.. almost got it working, but the wsdl is spits out doesn't work with CFMX. So now I'm looking at WCF. I have an example working using basicHttpBinding and I can get CFMX to call it, but now I encountered a different problem... actually it may be a take away from .net remoting. When you wire up your own host, you need to specify the type of the class you want host. This forces you to rebuild the host service every time you add a new class. Back in .net remoting you ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What are the recommended books and sites for learning C# so I can then make a game using XNA?

  XNA has made game development easy, but to use the XNA framework you still have to be able to develop with C#. You don't have to be an expert, but you do need to understand the basics of Object Oriented development and the general syntax for the C# language. That's great for those of us who are already developers, but there are a lot of people interested in XNA, that are not already developers (and some of them are developers who just haven't given C# a try yet). Every time a new game developer hopeful comes into the forums frustrated because they don't understand the code or where to start, we give them a generic answer about taking some development classes, find some books on C#, check out some C# tutorial sites or point them towards To ...Show All
