• Visual C# c# how to call functions

  I have been converting a c++ program into c#. I am using Windows Application. I have a basic structure now for C# all through my program. Except I think I have it all wrong. The program compiles on the first pass, and on the second pass all my functions are flagged with an error. namespace WindowsApplication1 { using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Form1_Load( object sender, EventArgs e) { } } } public class MainBegin { public static int mainbeginstart { get { read_hotspace_file ; <------ function read_garage_fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customer Support Representatives using TFS

  We've moved over to TFS successfully. We've put our 8 projects in, and set all the sercurity up. THe developers, Project Managers and Developer Managers are loving it. The customer support people... well... they don't like it that much. The reason It's hard to search. They might want to search through ALL projects with a single key-word, and fine all issues that come up with that key word. They could write a query to do this, but that's a lot of tinkering if you want to search on: City, Province/State, Severity, start date, end date, customer name, customer number etc. HOw are other people handeling this with their Support department Are there better ways of doing this I heard a rumour that the TFS team will be releasing a "Quick Sea ...Show All

• SQL Server How to setup a many-to-many schema to favor retreival speed.

  I'm am novice in the RDMS world. I would like to set up a database that will scale with a large dataset of over 1,000,000 unique records. In a nutshell, I have about a million+ documents that are stored on a file server as TIFF files. Each document has 2 or more persons (names) associated with that document like "John Smith" or "Mr. John Doe" etc.. A person can be related to many documents (depending on how many transactions they conducted over the years) and any document can be related to many people as most of the transactions were from multiple sellers and multiple buyers. The end users almost always searches for documents by using the first and last name of the person related to the document along with other docume ...Show All

• SQL Server VISUALTOTALS performance problem

  Hello, I have a relatively simple MDX query where I am selecting a the top 10 members by a certain measure (usingTOPCOUNT) on ROWS. I would also like a total for the rows which I am trying to get via VISUALTOTALS. Without the VISUALTOTALS function, the query returns accurate results in about 10 seconds. When I wrap the TOPCOUNT with a VISUALTOTALS function the query takes over 10 minutes. I dont know how to improve this situation without using a subcube (which gets me the all member over the limited subset). I am using SSAS 2005 SP1. Am I doing this correctly Is there a good reason why VISUALTOTALS is so slow in this case. Is there another function I can use Please help if you can -- Thanks in advance Mgale1 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Debug rules?

  Actually I would love to know how you can debug the rules. Can you see which rules are pending and which rules are fired Can you set break points on the condition or action part in the CodeDom You can use Tracing and Tracking to debug rules. You cannot set breakpoints on the actions / conditions in WF V1, but you can use System.Diagnostics tracing and WF Tracking to get better visibility into rules execution. Moustafa has a nice write up on his blog about this - http://blogs.msdn.com/moustafa/archive/2006/08/05/689776.aspx . Scott Allen's book on WF also has a chapter on rules that talks about tracing and tracking. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Detect mouse click on a sprite

  Anybody know how to detect a mouse click on a sprite I would guess you'd start off reading something like mouse.x and mouse.y and then iterating through all the coordinates of the sprite to see if the point clicked is in the sprites non-transparent pixels (slow) or.. Is there a way to hit test the sprites region Since this is specifly a game dev kit, I would assume there would be a method in the sprite class part of the engine to handle this like I would in vb.net for a polygon region(InRegion), and not have to iterate through each non-transparent pixel. Is that in the sprite class for hit testing If not, why ...that's a standard thing for a game(hit testing/collision detection). Guess thats for a MS XNA developer to answer ...Show All

• Windows Forms a Bug in .NET with HardMarginX, please help!

  Hello, I am making a Printapplication and have found a bug in .NET 2.0 (using Visual Studio 2005). I have a printer (Printek FormsPro 4503se) installed with LetterRotated paper with 11 in. width and 8.5 in. height. Then I make in my application a: PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument (); and look at the doc.DefaultPageSettings The settings are Letter 8.5 in. width and 11 in. height. Why does it not choose the right paperSize (Should be LetterRotated and not Letter) Now I have to make a custom paperSize: doc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("LetterRotated", 1100, 850); To be able to print all over the paper.

• Windows Forms Setting the handled property of the KeyPressEventArgs to true does not discard the character

  The following code will not discard the character when the the handled property is set to true. I verified that this works properly using a normal textbox. Any thoughts void txtMask_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) { if (!( char .ToUpper(e.KeyChar) == ( char ) Keys .A || e.KeyChar == ( char ) Keys .P)) { e.Handled = true ; } } Hello All. RonLindsey: Well, I can't seem to get it to fail with a plain vanilla, out-of-the-box maskedTextBox either. You might check to see if there's something in your mask definition that's giving you the problem. Or post it, and let us try it out and see what happens then. HTH. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Update DataGridView when database changes ?

  Hi I'm wondering how one can update a DataGridView when the contents of the Database change. The database is coupled to the DataGridView with an Adapter and DataSet I know when the database has new data so detection is not a problem. It's just the updating. Ideally the update process would be as lightweight as possible and not re-read the entire table into memory. All answers I find here are about propagating changed data in the GUI back to the database, so let me repeat. I'm looking for a way to update the GUI when the database changes. I am having the same problem. Here is the code I am using to populate the datagrid: Public Function dbCmd( ByVal str As String ) Dim nConn As N ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't uninstall previous version of AdventureWorks database

  I want to install the new (February 2007) sample databases. The readme says any previous version must be removed by dropping the database., then running Remove from Add or Remove Programs.
