• .NET Development VWD supports Classic ASP

  Can we use Visual Web Developer 2005 express for builting classic ASP web application (hopefully not), if not then which software can be used for dynamic websites using asp I am not a web developer, but do do some now and then, but I do not think you can use the VWD for classic asp. To develop in classic asp using an IDE you would need something like Frontpage, or Dreamweaver. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListBoxItems and Multiple Children.

  I have a custom style applied to my ListBox so that each ListBoxItem has several child controls attached to it. Once an ListBoxItem is selected, I need to access the data contained within each of the child controls. I remember reading somewhere a way to cycle through controls in situations like this, but I cannot find where the documentation was. Additionally, one of these controls is an PasswordBox. I would like the PasswordBox to get keyboard focus once its ListBoxItem has been selected. Is there away to set the focus via XAML Triggers, or can this only be done in code Thanks It might be a timing issue. Try using the PasswordBox's Dispatcher to post a call to a method which then calls Focus (or whatever works) on the ...Show All

• SQL Server InfoPath 2003, Shape, Order by, two tables, can't get sort to work

  InfoPath 2003 I have an Infopath form to edit the values in the NotifyMembers table. I want to list the email addresses alphabetically when the query returns data to the form. Unfortunately, I use EmailAddressID as an int in the table, so I need to join the NotifyMember table with the EMailAddress table, which has a column EMail which is the address. Both have EmailAddressID as common fields. I can't get the Shape command (edit SQL in the Datasource) to be happy with any syntax that I have tried. For (non-working) example: select "GroupCode","EmailAddressID","DelBit" from "dbo"."NotifyMembers" as "NotifyMembers" Join "dbo"."NotifyMembers"."Emai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista 2PC using MSDTC behaves differently on one/two computers

  Hi, I have the following problem... I start a transaction within one process proc1 (by creating a new TransactionScope) and enlist a custom IEnlistmentNotification implementation. Then, using .NET remoting, I call a method on a remote object (another process proc2 ) and pass the current Transaction to it. This method creates a new (nested) TransactionScope using the passed Transaction and enlists another custom IEnlistmentNotification implementation. After completing bot scopes I can observe different behavior depending on whether the 2 processes run on a single computer or on two different computers. (1) on one comp: The Prepare() method of the proc1 is called and in parallel Prepare() of proc2 is called as well. (this is also my desired ...Show All

• .NET Development Garbage Collector disposes wrong object?

  Application had been running for months without changes and without errors.

• .NET Development Asyn calls to webservice

  I need to call a couple of web services on the client side. Currently I'm making seperate asyn calls to each of them. My question is 1. Is there a better way to do this. Can I make all the calls within one method and using the same IAsynResult object. 2. If yes, then in this case I 'm assuming I would need to set the AsynWaitHandle to WaitAll. But I only see the waitOne() method and not the others such as WaitAny and WaitAll. I'm on VS 2003 1.1 Thanks, 1. No, an IAsyncResult is specific to an individual method call. It contains specific details such as the async state that was passed into the method, and the underlying implementation of the IAsyncResult interface also may contain details such as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Making a textbox into an array and reading from each point in the array

  I'm trying to build a name generator, that takes a letter from one point in an array, (Which originally comes from a textbox), and changes that letter to some other character. So for instance, if i put the name "Sam" in textbox one and clicked the "Generate" button, the out put, (Which has random keyboard typings of each letter, like S as "Ess" or "$") would go to textbox 2. So basically i want to build a name generator for The "Leet" or "L33t" Language. What i need to know is: 1.How to assign the Data of Textbox1 to a String array 2. How to read from each point in this array and 3. How to set the output to go to a certain point in an array for textbox2. Any help would be greatly ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Putting a Window on top of a DirectX fullscreen window?

  I'm trying to paint on top of a running full screen DirectX app (seperate process), similar to how XFire In Game works. Is there a way I can do this Currently anything I do just either knocks out my applications Device (DeviceLost event) or causes the other application to minimize. If possible I'd like to be able to do it without obtaining a handle to the other application's Device object. Any ideas Thanks in advance Mathieson, With DirectX 9.x, if an application is running fullscreen mode, if the application loses focus, the device will be lost and will need to be reset. In DirectX 10, if you have say multi-monitor setup and game is running in fullscreen on monitor one, you can have another applicat ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio on client

What do I need on my client computer used for development to access the instance on the server Is it as simple as a shortcut to the server Management Studio exe Do I access it through Internet Explorer Or what do I have to install on the client to be able to manager the server DB's Apparently this must be very easy because I've looked all over and can't find the answer.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Forcing GraphicsDevice creation before Game.Run

  In order to incorporate Xna into an existing engine without a lot of ugly hacks, I need to force the GraphicsDevice to be initialised before the program loop starts (Game.Run). Can this be done Assuming this isn't possible (as seems likely), I'd need to ditch Game and handle device creation myself. This looks straight forward enough, except that it requires a handle to a window. This is no problem in windows, but what about on the xbox 360 Is there some sort of factory available that returns a GameWindow implementation for the platform it's running on Has anyone manually created a graphicsdevice on the 360 I am definitely all for creating my own GraphicsDevice instead of the hack mentioned above.
