• Smart Device Development Which Platform?

  I have written an application using VS 2005, and installed it on a pda(s) running Windows Mobile 5.0. Now, what I want to do now, is to load the same application on to a Windows CE 5.0 environmnet as well. Looking at it, it should work The main question I have is that once loaded on either enviroment, I need to know which one the application is running. If the application is running on WM 5.0 follow a set up route of say a) or if it is CE 5.0 then do b). Not too much differnce to be honest, but I was wondering if there was some system variable that I could look at, which would indicate the environment - WM 5.0 or CE 5.0 Let’s take a closer look at your declaration… Here’s my question: how you've come up with Lo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Importing Work Items and Links

  I am currently importing many work items from a spreadsheet. However, we also require that work item tasks are linked to the appropriate requirements. In the spreadsheet there can be anywhere from 5 to 50 work item tasks which will need to be linked to a single work item requirement. Is there a way to do this linking in bulk either in the spreadsheet before I publish the items or in TFS after the items are published. Currently, it seems that I can only select one item at a time to create the link. Any assistance here would be appreciated.... I'm sorry to say, this is not possible with the V1 version of the product. This is being considered for a future version. Your only option would be do this ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Cross-Page Posting and MasterPage(s)

  I have searched the internet and found many deadend threads about Cross_Page Posting not working when you are using a MasterPage. Is there anyway around this or a fix Summary: I am using 2 aspx pages as shown in many tutorials CrossPost1.aspx and CrossPost2.aspx with VB code behind. PreviousPage.FindControl works fine if the above mentioned pages are not using a MasterPage, however once I add them to a MasterPage my controls on the CrossPost2.aspx page always return empty(null). There has to be a fix to this... Thanks, Still nothing, I have tried a million different code combinations, and still nothing. I wish someone would at least be able to explain why the PreviousPage.FindControl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Markup Extension for Booleans

  Hi, Is there a markup extension that allows me to insert boolean values into a property value Something like: <Class Property="{x:Static true}"/> Thanks, Kent I forgot to mention: the only way I could get this to work was to declare my own consts: public const bool True = true ; public const bool False = false ; And then use {x:Static} to refer to them. The Boolean struct does not define static members for true / false (only as strings) so I was wondering if there is a simpler way Thanks, Kent ...Show All

• .NET Development RSA Cryptography with foreign public key

  I must create application which will do next. I have console application(further APP1 ) which will read xml file, get needed node and decipher its value. Trouble is next. Console application should create par of public/private keys. XML file is created in another application(further APP2 ). APP2 uses public key from APP1 and private key from APP2. Q: how do i combine those two heys, so i can create ciphered text Q2. how do i import public key into RSAParameters object Private key should remain and all needed data for public key should be changed( i think they should).

• Windows Forms CodeDomSerializer and resx

  Hi! I would like to store one property of my component in to the resx file of the Form that contains it. Is there a code sample somewhere that shows how to do it I found this: http://www.vbcity.com/forums/topic.asp tid=22348 But it is missing way too many things. I would really appreciate a generic pattern on how to save the values of objects storing binary data to the resx file. (should be in C# if possible) Thanks! Atmapuri Hi! My object is not serializable. It containes unmanaged binary data. (like a bitmap) I would like to save that to resx file during design time and have it loaded during run and design time from the resx file automatically. Thanks! Atmapuri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to migrate data from one Team Foundation Server into two Team Foundation Servers

  Lets assume that I have TFS A that contains Team Project 1 and 2, but after a year I get into performance and resource problems because of the number of users and data, so it is not an option to keep using TFS A. My question is if it is possible to migrate Team Project 1 to TFS C and Team Project 2 to TFS B without losing any data, or do I have to start with a new Team Project on TFS B and TFS C and thereby losing all data and history . The reason I ask is that my boss wants a plan for how to handle this situation, and what the consequences are. Currently moving of team projects is not supported. You can move the whole TFS instance to a different machine but not individual projects. We have this as ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Heightmap Terrain Component

  I thought the whole component concept was pretty cool. So I threw together a quick heightmap terrain component. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightMapTerrain2.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59/craigory666/heightmapprop.jpg It should work with square .raw files, and for the effectPath I'm just using the default texture shader found in the help file. The view and projection matrices of the terrain are exposed, so you should be able to hook up whatever camera you have going and just update the terrains view, and projection matrices during your games update. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using Microsoft.Xna.Fr ...Show All
