• Visual Basic Default Value Gridview Winform

  I want to set the Default Value in a Gridview to a Dynamic Date. If I use a static date like 12.12.2006 as DefaultValue in the DataSet it works. But I cannot find an Expression to set the DefaultValue as Dynamic. (getdate() I use in the SQL Database doesnot work. The Solution should be simple. Thanks for help Thank you, I would like to know the coding for seting a Default Value "Date" for a new record in the DataGrid. LG Hans ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. and then, it ALL broke!

  Hi fellow XNA'ers, Has anyone else had problems with XNA 1.0 I have just installed it (after uninstalling Beta 2) and pretty much every project is broken. I'm getting stuff like this... in Program.cs there is the line:- using ( Game1 game = new Game1 ()) Which on one of my projects generates the following error:- Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f48fa5f25d27e8ff' or one of its dependencies.

• Visual Studio Team System Project Output Directories in Team Build

  Most of my VS projects have the output directory defined in the project settings as /bin, however when I run a Team Build, no bin directories are created, there are just obj directories. Why is this and can I change it because in some circumstances (like building a windows service) some of the output is not copied to the obj folder, it is copied to the Binaries folder. Removing the $(OutDir) property from C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets will cause the output for every project to go to its "normal" location. (e.g. ..\< MyProject >\bin\< Configuration >)   However this hack prevents code analysis and unit tests fr ...Show All

• Visual C++ trouble with __declspec(dllimport)

  NOTE: I'm using VS 2005 I am attempting to access a driver using __declspec(dllimport) (as the .h file that came with the device was setup this way), I've never done it this way before so I'm experiencing issues. (I am doing this on a handheld but I feel this is generic enough for the general forum) (I don't think it matters but this is a ZigBee SDIO card from C-Guys) I've placed the .dll file and the .lib file (don't know which I actually need) in the project directory (with all .h and .cpp files), here are some bits and pieces of code from the .h file #define SDZIGBEEDLL_API __declspec(dllimport) . . .

• Visual Studio Team System Automatically create a work item during check-in?

  Is there a way to automatically create a work item during a check-in and have it linked to the change-set We'd like to be able to automatically create a Review work item and link it to the change-set. It would also be good if we could assign the review based on the user who does the check-in or just assign the review to one particular person. Thanks, Richard Well, I found this post on writing a web service to create work items. I imagine this is the sort of thing we need to do: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=262332&SiteID=1 Any more info would be great though. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller

  When I want setup Vista RC1 from DOS, I will need to install raid driver. When I put floppy into floppy-drive, setup begin copy driver-files to HDD, when I will seen "blue screen" with error. This driver was worked correctly in Vista Beta 2. How can I correct this problem. Hello, What is happening is a ‘name collision’ where the Intel(R) 82801ER name is the same as used by iastor.sys. When the collision occurs we sub in the Vista driver and in this case the machine would bugcheck with a 7E. The good news is this has been bugged and addressed in a later build.

• Windows Forms Error message "Unable to locate .msi application file

  I have a setup program that installs a Windows service. Basically a file named setup.exe is created. Upon double clicking on this file name, the installation process proceeds. This installation is succesfull on my PC, but not on the PC where the application is to be deployed. On the deployment PC, when the setup application is run the following error message is displayed in a dialog box. "An error occured attempting to install TriStSetup. Unable to locate application file TriStSetup.msi." So I guess the question is : why is it looking for the .msi file Is the setup.exe file dependent upon this .msi file If so, should I send out the .msi file with the setup.exe file And should they reside in the same directory upon in ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get \n into a listview

  I am trying to get a listview to display strings that look like this: This\nis a string that\nchanges lines. I need to have the \n show up as a string in the listview and not a funky char. Thanks Hi,TedTarney You said "I need to have the \n show up as a string in the listview and not a funky char", in fact, the text of items in the ListView never translate the '\n' char. If your real mean is displaying string in lines, you can set the ListView's OwnerDraw to True, then handle the DrawItem event, use codes like this to draw the strings: private void listView1_DrawItem( object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e) { e.DrawBackground(); string [ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problems implementing a skybox

  Perhaps somebody with more experience could help me. I want to implement the skybox example from the DirectX SDK (Samples/C++/Direct3D/StateManager) and I've copied and renamed the following files (skybox01.x, skybox02.dds and skybox03.fx) to my project folder and have added them to the content pipeline. But I don't get it managed to load the skybox with her texture and set the camera to the center of the box, I think because I don't know how to handle the effects of the *.fx file and how to transform the box correct. (I'm new to XNA and I only have tried out the simple 3D examples with BasicEffects from the help files so far.) So if somebody has the time to show me how to handle these files correctly, I would be very glad. (You c ...Show All

• SQL Server Number of ROWS of "Output of Aggregate Transformation" sometimes doesn't match the output from T-SQL query

  While using Aggregate Transformation to group one column,the rows of output sometimes larger than the rows returned by a T-SQL statement via SSMS. For example,the output of the Aggregate Transformation may be 960216 ,but the 'Select Count(Orderid) From ... Group By ***' T-SQL Statement returns 96018*. I'm sure the Group By of the Aggregate Transformation is right! But ,when I set the "keyscale" property of the transformation,the results match! In my opinion,the "keyscale" property will jsut affects the performance of the transformaiton,but not the result of the transformation. Thanks for your advice.

• Windows Forms Hosting designers and IToolboxService question

  Hi! I wrote an app that hosts a custom rootdesigner and a toolbox control. I successfully implemented IToolboxService. Heres my problem: I don't understand how I can make the toolbox only show these items which the currently selected control (which I am going to write by myself too) on the designer wants it to show using IToolboxService (or any other service I have to implement which I don't know of yet). The second problem is: Upon doubleclick on one of these controls on my rootdesigner I want them to show an editor window (of type Form) which should show it's own ToolboxItems only. How can I accomplish that using existing service interfaces Hope it's clear what I mean. Thank you! T ...Show All
