• Windows Forms Sortable Column in DataGridView with Objiect based DataSource

  Hello! I've searched the web now for quit a long time, but I didnAt find a clear solution for my sorting problem. I'm having a DataGridView that is bound to a BindingSource which has as DataSource my custom Object which has some String Properties. The Grif is build up fine by the designer and I populate some entries to the Grid on runtime using MyBindingSource.Add(myObject). Even tough the SortMode of the columns are set to automatic, clicking on a header doesn't sort the list. I thought that this would come automaticly with the grid, because the Column to sort for is just a binding to a String-Property of an object. Could someone advise me why this is not working Do I have to implement the sorting myself Doesn't the &quo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Populating a list box

  Hi, How can i populate a list box with filenames from a Folder Browser Dialogn dialog box I mean, i open the "Folder dialog box", select a folder, click "Ok" and the list box gets populated with the filenames in that folder. Any help would be apreciated. Warm regards, mamrg. You could use System.IO.Directory.GetFiles. Something like: (using System.IO;) if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog () == DialogResults.OK) { string targetDirectory = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath; string [] filesInFolder = Directory.GetFiles (targetDirectory); myListBox.Items.Clear (); myListBox.Items.AddRange (filesInFolder); } This works, but the files you get in the list will have their full path (c:\example\somet ...Show All

  Hi, Is it possible to build the appln on WM 5.0 for pocket pc and then making it on the devices having Windows Mobile 2003 Help needed. as stated, it depends what you are wanting to access, it actually does depend on the .NET CF, since you will be using its features, unless you are doing P/Invoke. if features are unique to WM5.0 then of course it will not work on WM2003 since it is "unique" to WM5 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Illeagal Characters In Path Error.

  Hi, I have this error, Illeagal characters In path. I figured out it happend when the FILE NAME had spaces in it, so It took me one week to make it change the spaces to "_". In the debug I didn't have the problem any more. Now I installed the program, and it happend. I don't know the exact line, but if it's because of space it's in the Folder's name. SPACE ISN'T AN ILLEAGAL CHARACTER! Why does it happen Is it a bug in VS How can I fix it Thanks. I did another experiment: I made an install project, and installed in C:\TestInstal\ and the error didn't occoured. Why What about if the user will choose another folder I don't want errors in my program! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Easy way to render primitives in front of D3DX Sprites?

  Hi! I'm currently working on a 2D-game that mainly uses D3DX sprites to render bitmaps on teh screen. Unfortunately, a special feature requires the use of textured primitives (TriangleList). When i now render this TriangleList, it's hidden behind any sprite on the screen. Is there an easy way to assign some kind of priority to the primitives / vertices, so that it is possible to draw them in front of certain sprites, but behind others If not, what else am I supposed to do I'd appreciate your help! Marvin Use of the depth-buffer is what you want. I'd imagine that, by default, ID3DXSprite renders to Z=0 which is closest to the camera. If you transform the vertices (ID3DXSprite::SetTransform()) so that they ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting results with stored procedure from single textbox searching table with multi columns

  I admit I am a novice to queries and stored procedures but understand stored procedures are more secure, so I am choosing to challenge myself with a stored procedure and have not been successful at all. What I am looking for is a stored procedure which would query the single table named Hospital, which would search from a single textbox the end user would enter the text they are searching for on a Windows VB application but is dependant on a few end user selected items. 1. The end user can select a radio button either "Starts with" or "Contains" 2. The end user can select from 6 checkboxes (Hospitals, Address, City, State, Zip, Type) to limit or expand their search from the columns in the table. The table has ...Show All

• SQL Server Non significant '0' removed from alphanumeric code

  Hi all, I have a problem with alphanumeric codes in SSIS. I have a sql table with a varchar column which contains codes like '080101000', in my SSIS dataflow I have a lookup against this table and the column whith the code is used as output column for my lookup transformation. In the advance editor the output column datatype is DT_WSTR, but when the code contains only numbers like the code '080101000' the first '0' is removed! It's like the code is at some point transformed to numeric and then inserted in the output column as a string. This in nonsense!! Does anyone have an idea how to avoid this Hi, No it's not resolved.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Highly Optimized 2D Drawing

  With the trends in hardware today, would it be worth the effort to render groups of sprites to offscreen surfaces For instance, we have an gui window composed of 9 sprites (All stored in 1 image, and will be rendered in a batch). 5 Of these sprites will every need scaled or tiled to draw the window every frame. Assuming that during the gui windows lifetime it's size and appearance will remain relatively constant, we can render it to an offscreen surface. This would allow us to minimize the scaling and vertex buffer operations to a single blit in future redrawings of the window. Or is it best to constantly push new quads to the GPU for processing like the Spritebatch object currently does The constant pushing of quads would only requir ...Show All
