• Visual Basic Printer Compatibilty Power Pack Source or PrintDocument Interface

  Someone already asked for the source code. It would be great if you could release the source code. But if it is not possible, maybe you can open some internal objects like the internal PrintDocument Interface, so we can further influence the printing process! Is this possible Hi Mike, If I understand you correctly, you want to print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer. Then, I can use below code to print the form background image to that printer. Dim printers As New PrinterCollection Dim printer As New Printer Dim p As Printer For Each p In printers If p.DeviceName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" Then printer = p End If printer.PaintPicture( Me .Back ...Show All

• SQL Server Recovering from Deadlocks: retrying the query

  I'm having some deadlocking issues in my ASP.Net 2.0 web application with SQL Server 2000. One solution I've come across involves catching the the deadlock error (at the application level) and then retrying the query again, in the hopes that whatever was causing the deadlock is no longer locked. I've tried to implement such a solution, where I catch the deadlock exception, then try to execute the same query again. Only now I'm getting a "The transaction is in doubt" exception. So am I going about this wrong Am I supposed to retry the entire transaction, or is valid to just try to redo the one query that it failed on Is there some way around the transaction being in doubt You should determi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Prevent standby/keep app running in standby?

  Hi All I'm currently writing my diploma thesis and as a part thereof i am writing a WM based application to constantly log some data (various sensor input via Serial, picture capturing, audio recording and GPS via Bluetooth) which will later on be used for some data mining/context awareness stuff. It is absolutely crucial that i have a constant stream of incoming data that is not interrupted by e.g. standby, be it system or user initiated... And that is exactly where i am stuck now... :-( Does anyone know how i can prevent my wm 2005 PPC device from going into standby, even if the user clicks on power off button However, if this is possible, will the keys and the touchscreen still be locked (not a must, but would be nice) (Btw.We ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making Drawing.Color by seting RGB values

  Hello, I'd like to know how to configure new System.Drawing.Color by seting RGB values. I need to make color from 3 ASCII converted chars. Following: sam = 115, 97, 109 to clolor is color.r=115 color.g=97 color.b=109 then I can set to the bitmap pixel with color made that way Now the only problem is, that r,g,b parameters are only readable :/. Is there any way to SET values of color.r, g & b You should try to get R, G and B values in a different way. All colors have those values so you can get them by doing this: txttext.Text = System.Drawing.Color.Black.R In the same whay you can get G, B values. Instead of R there must be G or B. There's also A which means Alpha, but it's no ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing a primitive without a texture

  I am trying to draw a masking square in front of my application's display. The display uses VertexPositionTexture format vertexes. I was hoping to draw the square using a VertexPositionColor vertex, but it looks like Vertex types cannot be mixed on a single device. While I can create a single-color texture in code and throw it on the square, it looks pretty bad when it expands. A very noticable ring appears around the edges. Without a texture, it will not draw while TextureEnabled is set to true. Is there a means to draw a primitive without a texture when using VertexPositionTexture Whenever you want to render a primitive with another type of Vertex Format/Declaration you will need to set the vertex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions No RX Data problem

  Hi, I'm having a little trouble with my serial data program, it only works whilst there is data coming in.

• Visual Basic Adding root and child treenodes

  Hi, i'm a little confused with this subject. i'd like to add nodes to a form where the root nodes are my section code and the child nodes all the items under my section code. i'm retrieving this from a database so my code is something like this: while reader.read mytreeview.node.add(reader.getvalue(0).tostring()) end while that's just the main node, any code you can share for the child thanks a bunch dave. Hi, hmmm i've solved the problem. it turned out to like this: root: tviev.nodes.add("root node") then for the child it was: tview.nodes(0).nodes.add("child") and for grandchild: tview.nodes(0).nodes(0).nodes.add("grandchild") looks the same with yours but longer lol. i was using for loops f ...Show All

• Windows Forms Running ClickOnce app clears DOM document object in IE7

  Hi, I have a javascript method that launches a ClickOnce application from a portal front page in our web application. It does this by launching the *.application file. The Launching Application window comes up as expected and the application launches fine. However, once the application is launched, the "document" object is set to "undefined" in the containing web page. This has the effect of rendering any javascript that needs to access the document object useless, and the user can not continue to use the portal page. No javascript is running after the application has been launched. This only happens while using Internet Explorer 7. Does anybody have any idea why the document object is effectively being clea ...Show All

I have no experience dealing with this problem. What is the best way to find memory leaks in NET Or do i simply try random things and cross my fingers Basically, manually trace through everything you do to that pieve of memory, and make sure that nothing in your code will cause it to leak, or somehow be overlooked by your deallocation code. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature request

  When importing database schema from an existing database, it would be nice if the file names were prepended with the schema name (e.g., dbo.<tablename>...sql). I have a database with multiple schemas, and some of the objects in various schemas share their names. As a result, the files/directories in my project become difficult to organize (think about AdventureWorks db - i have a similarly organized db) Another feature that i think is missing, is scripting out custom error messages. If you have particular error messages registered using sp_addmessage, those error messages do not become a part of your project. Diagrams and Intellisense would be high on my list of requests as well, but i know they're not going to happen in this ...Show All
