• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I next GameComponents?

I can see my game component library section in the toolbox when I'm on the visual designer for my Menu but unlike the Game, I just see "There are no usuable controls in this group.", blah... Has anyone got this working Is there some nuance of MSVC# Express / GSE I'm missing Kind Regards, James What you are trying to do is technically possible, but not worth the effort.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office SDI app challenge (custom task panes)

  When using custom task panes in SDI apps like Word you run into a problem with instantiating and Ribbon synchronization. As Martin showed in Barcelona (TechEd) you need some kind of document wrapper class to keep track of open windows, and create, synchronize and close CTPs within a collection of document-objects. An official sample should be on its way as I understand. Is that true If its “far away” has anybody a sample to share Thanks, Hi, I am also very keen to know more on this subject! Where can I find this “core user documentation” I am especially interested on how to do objects/window management: I would like to associate an object A with its corresponding window… your idea o ...Show All

• .NET Development Timeout expired. the timeout expired prior to getting the connection from the pool.

  Hi, I have developed a web application which works fine but sometimes the web applications hangs with the following message Timeout expired. the timeout expired prior to getting the connection from the pool.

• SQL Server Multiple Publication on the same database

  Hello, I want to create one more publication on a database (SQL Server 2005) that is already a publisher and has subscribers.

  Hello, I'm trying to make a simple X-Y plot using VB.net. I note that it doesn't seem to come with any obvious chart, graph or trend objects like VB6 used to.

At the moment I'm using ChartFXLite which is OK but I'm sure there must be a basic VB.net equivalent already in there somewhere Anyone Thanks Andrew Smith ...Show All
