• Visual Studio Express Editions Rich text box help needed!!

  I'm pretty new to VB2005 Express and I'm trying to make an app with a rich text box and have no idea on how to code the 'save file dialog', the 'open file dialog', the 'font dialog', or the 'print dialog'. I would really appreciate help. All works great now, but when I highlight any text, or click in the text box, an unhandled exeption occurs and this is the error i get: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.CallWindowProc(IntPtr w ...Show All

• Visual C# Setting reference conditions in Build configurations

  Does anyone know how to configure a project or solution build to conditionally pick up specific copies of DLLs maintianed in other solutions I'm referencing several DLLs which are built in other solutions as class libraries. When I build in DEBUG configuration mode, I want to pick up the debug copies of the DLLs. When I build in RELEASE mode I want to pick up the release copies. I'm using VS2005 C#. All my solutions maintain built projects in the standard VS paths. Example ..\MyProject\bin\Debug ..\MyProject\bin\Release I appreciate any advice or pointers. Thanks. Hans, Thanks, that's a great hidden secret to know. It works well when the class library DLLs are in another p ...Show All

• Visual Basic Impersonation and Win 2003?

  I have a class library created with VS 2005 on Framework 2.0 that I use for our Windows desktop apps to validate a user against Active Directory. The Impersonate function uses a valid generic AD user to log in. I'll copy in the basic code in question below. It seems to work fine on the XP machines that I have tested it on. However one major use for it will involve installing it along with an app on a server so that users at distant locations can use remote desktop or something like Dameware remote control to run it on the server. The server OS is Win 2003. The LogIn function fails when I run it on the server. The machines are all in the same domain. Is this a security thing with 2003 or something else Thanks. <Assembly: SecurityPerm ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating controls at runtime vice dropping Controls at Design Time???

  I'm not so new at C# but I'm still a beginner! I'm very confused about the above subject ... I am a former VB (and COBOL) programmer and, I'm confused as to why or when to drop controls on a windows form and when to create them at run time Are there do's and don'ts for this, or is this feature available for the "hard-nosed" programmer who likes to fully control the app When I wrote VB apps for instance, I would not use the Data control (unless I absolutly had to) because I wanted more control over the data and how it was displayed and edited. Yeah, more coding and work but I knew what was happening when. Any information that will help clear this muddled mind of mine would be appreciated! Thank you Greg ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Analysis Services Service does not start

  I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition for use with Team Foundation Server. I have verified the installation according to the documentation, and all is well except that the Analysis Services Service is not started. When I click Start, I see the progress bar as if it is starting, but it stops shortly after, saying that "Some services stop if there is nothing to do". Team Foundation Server requires that this service be started for the installation to succeed. How do I get the service to stay started Thanks in advance.

• .NET Development Sending an email through a web service

  Hi, I need some help with the Web Service security. I have a web service that picks up a file from a folder (any folder, network, local etc) and sends it using SMTP to a mail recipient. When I browse to a file on my machine, example C:\Temp\File1.doc and invoke the web service call passing the file, the system is able to attach the selected file and the email is sent successfully. However, if I point to any file in C:\Document and Settings\... or on the network, say \\ServerName\ShareName\File.doc, the system is unable to attach the file to the mail message being created. The error message is 'Invalid attachment'. I have enabled Anonymous Access for the web service and cleared all the other checkboxes in the Authenticated acc ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Power of XBOX360 - raw triangle power

  Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to compare the graphics power of XBOX360 to any of current gfx cards. Say, if it`s capable of rendering same amount of triangles as e.g. GF6800 does. The old XBOX was usually compared to GF3 in terms of graphics performance. The reason I ask is, that I would like to know the general boundaries of the raw gfx power, since I`m planning on converting some of my current games to XNA (and later to XBOX360) as soon as it becomes available. Currently I`m pushing the GF6800 card to its limits, which means I`m rendering a range of 0.5M-1.0M triangles (all unique, non-instanced) per frame and it seems that GF6800 starts to slow down when it crosses 1M barrier. No pixel shaders there, just Vertex Shader ...Show All
