• Windows Forms Button Alignment with Background

  Hello All, I'm new to C# and GUI's in general. I started with a background image that had all of the buttons drawn into the graphic. I then cut the graphic into tiles and removed the buttons to seperate files and imported them, and the background, as resources into my project. Then I loaded the background image as the background image for the form. I drew buttons over the background image in the proper places and then put the tiles in as backgrounds on the buttons. It all looks and works great on my computer. When I send it to someone else's computer (of the 3 I've tried, the background image is correct but all of the buttons and picturebox's (that have background images) have shifted up and to the left, but some normal buttons w ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying CLR sps or functions which call a web service to a production server

  Dear fellow developers, I have successfully developed a Transact-SQL stored procedure which calls a CLR function, which calls a web service. I am using a Visual Studio 2005 SQL Server Project to perform the necessary magic. Is there a neat way to deploy this stuff to a production server It is bad enough deploying the sp and function, but the web server proxy also needs to be changed to refer to the production web service. This all looks very nasty and complicated. Am I missing something I have identified the cause of the trouble deploying CLR code to a production server. I had copied the database to the production server, then attached it to SQL Server. This appears to mess up the security to such an extent that it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device Emulator V2

  is RTM available now so that we can get on with mobile development on Vista any updates, anyone kevin, i'm in whole-hearted agreement with your sentiments. this along with other growing list of not infrequent quality lapses from Microsoft has prompted me to seriously consider jumping the mother ship after some 20 years onboard. enough is enough. for corporate-sponsored developers at least, the financial burden may not be so great, but for small fries like me, msdn subscription is becoming ridiculous in light of the quality i'm getting in return. i just cannot fathom the logic in not releasing this available code (i know it is supposed to be accessible via the CE 6 release) when Vista is officiall ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums License Conditions - Cross Browser Scripting ?!?!

  hello out there, I'm developing a VE app that's going to use sensitive data from a proprietary CRM. i need to exchange this information between browsers (with Javascript: window.opener.forms[... ) to write the coordinates back to hidden input fields in the CRM system - it works fine as long as i am on my localhost. but for deployment i need to put it on a public accessible domain, as specified in the ToS. that's the point where browser security comes in, because it is not allowed to exchange data between browsers that have loaded webpages from different domains. one possible solution would be to have my CRM system on a password protected domain, e.g. example.com and make accessible only one subfolder where the VEMap app is hosted, e.g. exa ...Show All

• Visual C# Best way to marshal an array of C style strings

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XACT files(xgs,xsb,xwb) don't deploy during Publish; getting FileNotFound

  My problem: My game project in XNA uses 2 sounds. I went thru the XACT tutorial(for my uses I found it quite easy to add my .wav files used via XACT), and I now have all code in place, and functioning. When I Start Debugging in XNA, my game runs correctly, and I get the correct audio plays when the proper events cue them up. HOWEVER, once I publish the same project, and install it from the Setup.exe, the installed game crashes. I get the error: system.io.filenotfoundexception. What I have checked already: 1.All 3 XACT files are in my main game directory. 2. All 3 are set to 'always copy' to output directory. 3. All references in the Sound.cs class I created point to the correct XACT files(the build would not run if it did ...Show All
