• Visual Basic XML or a database?

  I'm creating a program that basically parses textfiles and stores them into a database for easier manipulation (so I can run queries on a DB instead of parsing/comparing/etc raw text on-the-fly) Currently I am using an Access database to store everything, but now that I realize .NET has such great XML support, I figure this may be a better option.  I'm thinking of storing each file into its own XML file then loading the selected file into a dataset and pulling info from it.  This is basically what I'm doing now, but instead of XML, it's the Access db. Does anyone have any advice on which method is better  EDIT: Wow, I forgot to mention something important.  What I wanted to know is, how do I han ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System rollback to a label?

  Hi All How can I rollback to a Label I see that tfpt.exe just lets you rollback a changeset. Also, It just lets me select 1 changeset at 1 time. What if, I wanna rollback 3 changesets at 1 time We are used to labeling a release. The tech leads may ask me to rollback to a specific label if something screws up in a branch. How can I get around with this Thanks. The best way to do Step 2 is with a script. To enumerate the items you need to checkout, either parse the output of Step 1 or use tf labels /f:detailed . Then pass those items to tf checkout . (edit)  If this is too cumbersome for your situation, you could simply checkout everything (tf checkout $/path/to/parent/folder /recursive).  Durin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Detected Dependencies

  Hello, I'm having a problem running a report on a client machine. I'm developing in VS 2005 using VB. I have a simple VB form using Crystal Rerport Viewer. When it tries to run, I get error: "Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version=11.5.3700.0". In my Setup project, in Detected Dependencies, it includes crystalreports11_5_net.msm. However, I have read where it should be using crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msm. Any Ideas or can I provide more information THANKS, Carl don't use crystalreports11_5_net.msm, use crystalreports11_5_net_2005.msm. I rarely trust the detected dependancies in Visual Studio for third party components. ...Show All

• .NET Development lockup problems with ASPNET Web Service

  I've been trying to solve an issue for 2 months now in which our web service locks up when more than one client application is pulling data at the same time from it. This makes no sense to us, since we are using MySQL's data adapter to open the connection, do the fill/update, and close it. It typically results in a Operation Timeout exception. The point of where it locks up seems almost totally random, we've filed a bug with MySQL but so far it has come back with no findings on their side after an entire month. Today we did some testing, and turned off timeout on the client side of the web service, and found that instead of timeout exceptions, things freeze indefinately....which is definately strange because the web ser ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Handling Save Files in XNA

  has anyone written any tutorials on save files for XNA I'm wondering what the save structure is, or if its possible to specify your own structure, and how we access this data. I've look at the storage overview, but its using FileStream, and I was wondering if it was possible to use XML formatted documents instead of a byte stream. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this, or if this can be accomplished I need to update this tutorial after doing some more examination as there's some problems and it's incomplete, but it might be useful, especially if you're looking to make your game compatible with both PC and 360. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. So how does this (non)commercial business work?

  Can anyone please enlighten me on how this all will work. How I see it, there are two points for having XNA. 1. To let gamers make Xbox 360 non-commercial games freely to play on their own consoles. 2. To let gamers make Xbox 360 commercial games that they may transfer over live. But can we sell these games & start a business And where do our limits end & then begin again with Pro I have been trying to start a video game business for years now, working with teams and software, and Microsoft XNA can be a new pedestal for my team and business.   Thanks in advance.

• SQL Server OLE DB Source Adapter & variables.

  Hi All, Using a data access mode of SQL Command, I have a stmt that returns one date ( e.g select max(LastChangedDate) from TblA ). I want to store the result in a variable. How do I do this Cheers, Tamim. "I intend executing each of them in parallel, which I can only do within the Data Flow" -- Why You could use multiple SQL tasks. What would be wrong with that You could use a Script Component to write to variable, but really the idea of having a data flow (path) with just one row seems silly. Even if you have 4 sources in the data flow this still does not make sense to me. The data flow is all about moving data and you aren't. Saying that I'm all for bending something to do your work, but in this ca ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView toolTipText question.

  In a DataGridView I have the first column which is a symbol (System.Strings) and the very last column which, essentially is always way beyond the right edge of the small form, gives the expanding meaning. It is a sentence. I want this last column to serve as a toolTipText for the first one. I want to be able to place a mouse cursor on a cell of the first column and have the value of the last one to be displayed as a tip. How can I do it Is it possible Thanks. This is how I did it. The only problem is that the ToolTip does not work and I have to display the value of the last column/row cell to a label.Text property. int indexer = (obj.ToString ( )).LastIndexOf ( " }" ); string partial = (obj.ToString ( )).Substring ( 0 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Pie Chart Problem

  Good day everyone. I have created a couple 2005 reports with Pie Charts and I used Formula Fields to calculate 4 field percentages (field / total * 100)... and the formula fields are named (Cars, Boats, Airplanes, etc...). I create the pie chart and include the formula fields into the "Show Value(s)" window of the "Chart Expert" and noticed an @ symbol is inserted into the show value window infront of the field name which later becomes the charts field label. The chart at runtime shows the @ symbol in front of the label ie; "@Cars" on the chart... I cant find anywhere where I can either create a variable to rename the label and call that up or rename the "real" full formula field name which is @Car ...Show All

• Visual C# Create Derived instance of Base instance

  Hello,   I was wondering if it is possible to have a base class and create a new reference to it which is a derived class. Here is a little example of what i mean: class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { BaseClass b = new BaseClass (); b.num = 5; DerivedClass d = new DerivedClass (b,true); Console .WriteLine( "derived :" + d.num); //The output is: derived: 5 b.num = 6; Console .WriteLine( "derived :" + d.num); //The output should be: derived: 6 Console .ReadLine(); } } class BaseClass { public int num = 0; } class DerivedClass : BaseClass { public DerivedClass( BaseClass bClass, bool access) { if (access == true) { ...Show All

• Windows Forms TreeView doesn't cancel user check

  Hi, I have a tree view which holds directories and the state if the content is installed or not. The user should not change the state of the CheckBox - this is done by code. But if the user clicks quick enough (first double click is the encounter of this behaviour) the checkbox changes its state. This is my code to test that: private void tvDirectories_BeforeCheck(object sender, TreeViewCancelEventArgs e) { e.Cancel = true; } With this code - I cannot set the checkbox with code. But the user can that (after first double click). What's wrong with this code Thanks in advance. This is documented behavior of the .NET ListView control.
