• Visual J# Vj# 1.1 based Zip Extraction...

  hi All, I have created a tool for my company which is predominanlty in C# and the application downloads a ZIP file from the internet. This is were I use VJ# because I guess it is easier to use VJ# for extracting the file. If I run my application on my DEV machine, the application runs so smoothly and it is able to extract the files according to the logic. But if i run on another machine, It does not. I have installed the Vj# redristibutable. Can anybody give me pointers on where this could go wrong... Many thanks, Shankarr Hi, The Exception Message says :    "The Type initializer for java.io.File threw and exception.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox Live Arcade "Standards" ???

  Does anyone have any information about the required "standards" for an Xbox Live Arcade game For example, most arcade games I've downloaded appear to have the following 6 standard menu options for their splash screens (in order)... 1. Single Player 2. Multiplayer 3. Leaderboards 4. Achievements 5. Help and Options 6. Return to Arcade (For trial versions, there is also a 7th option, Unlock Full Version, or something similar. Also, I'm assuming Multiplayer is optional; non-multiplayer games obviously don't need it.) What other requirements are there Where can I find more information about this Thanks! Robin, that's pretty cool :-) thanks for putting it together. I actually had an item in Conn ...Show All

• SQL Server Using FreeTextTable Conditionally

  Hello all! I have a stored procedure that accepts a parameter @SearchTerm that may be null. In my WHERE clause, I check for all records where @SearchTerm is null, or are LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%' when not null: SELECT (some records) FROM (some tables) WHERE @SearchTerm IS NULL OR (some fields are LIKE '%' + @SearchTerm + '%'); I am trying to use FTS with a FreeTextTable to make our search ability more robust: SELECT (some records) FROM (some tables) JOIN FreeTextTable(tableName, columns, @SearchTerm) ft ON ft.[KEY] = tableName.[KEY] However, because @SearchTerm can be null, meaning the user is not filtering our records by a search, doing a JOIN to a FreeTextTable throws an error (cannot have null as search string).

• SQL Server SQL Backup hangs, server freezes

  We have SQL 2000 running on Server 2003. The server has 4 GB RAM, RAID 1 and has the /3GB switch in Boot.ini. We have 6 databases, the largest is about 14 GB. Until recently I could use Enterprise Manager to perform database backups to a folder on the same server but now the operation fails. After selecting the location for the backup and clicking OK, the hard drive light comes on but goes out after 15 - 30 seconds. The progress bar does not move. I've waited and waited but nothing further happens and the server doesn't respond. The only solution is to push the power button and let the server re-boot. Very occasionally the backup will run for a minute or two and the progress bar might get to about one third of the way across, (in which cas ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to set Text to DataGridViewRowHeaderCell dynamically?

  Hi, there: I would like to set row header text from a dataset (or other collections) but I am having hard time to do it.

• SQL Server Erratic SMO Performance

  I have written a console app which uses SMO to automate the scripting and the creating of our database. For some strange reason the performance varies from blindingly fast to excruciatingly slow and I cannot seem to account for the cause. Can anyone tell me why For example, when scripting 100 tables, sometimes it will take 1.5 second to do all of them; sometimes it takes about 1.5 seconds to do each one! Some debugging uncovered the fact that it is the scripting of DROP statements that is the culprit. Scripting a CREATE statment seems to take between 1 and 70ms, whereas scripting a DROP statement *sometimes* takes the same amount of time, but *sometimes* it takes about 1400ms! I've tried varying all sorts of things but I can ...Show All

  if i downloaded Game Studio Express. Woud i be able to sell what i make You can sell the games you make for the PC, but not for the XBox 360.

Q: Can I use the XNA Game Studio Express or XNA Framework to build a commercial Xbox 360 game A: XNA Game Studio Express will enable you to create Windows and now Xbox 360 console games much more easily. These games are limited to non-commercial scenarios for 360 titles created with XNA Game Studio Express. However, XNA Game ...Show All

Simply set objForm3.MdiParent = this .MdiParent; where o bjForm3 is the instance of Form3 within Form2. Since the MdiParent of Form2 is Form1, your Form3's parent will also be assigned to Form1.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Window Hiding and Showing issues (June CTP)

  Hello, I am trying to reuse a property window by using window.hide() and window.show(). The property window can be closed by clicking an ok button, close button, escape key, and the X button of the window. Currently, I listen to the Closing event, the implementation is like this: (as suggested in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=286103&SiteID=1 ) private void HandleClosing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) { this.Hide(); e.Cancel = true; } However, in the June CTP, I will get a Run-time exception saying that I can not change the visibility of window while the window is closing.
