• Windows Forms Cannot add table adapter to datatable

  If I have a dataset in my project, and I've added a datatable to it, when I right click on it the option to add a tableadapter is greyed out. It seems as though I have to add a tableadapter to get a datatable with tableadapter connected to it. What if you already have a datatable in your project and want to add a tableadapter to it I had a recommendation to install SP1, and I did, but it did not fix the problem. No response since then. Well, you can always use the DataAdapter instead of the TableAdapter. It amounts to the same thing basically and is not specifically tied-in to your DataTable (which I think is preferable anyway ... I don't believe that a DataSet should know anything about where the data cam ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Video/Animation Playback

  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy. Not sure exactly why, but I notice this only when I have significant number of frames (I noticed it with 100 frames, but *not* with 10/15). This problem may be linked and solved by the 2nd point, so please read on. When I preload all the textures for the frames in the animation (and the no. of frames ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgraders: How much did tempdb increase after upgrade?

  I came across a passage in a book stating that the SQL 2005 version of tempdb requires "significantly" more disk space than previous versions of SQL Server. I'd like to have your opinion of how much tempdb space increased as a percentage, and what operations you see using tempdb now that didn't in previous versions I'd like to gauge feedback to estimate future growth needs and general concern. Thanks for any info! It depends on your workload and whether you use new SQL 2005 features like snapshot isolation (which uses TempDB for its version store). Personally, I have eight TempDB files (one per processor) that are all 4GB each, with autogrowth turned off, for a 2.5TB OLTP database. This ...Show All

• Windows Forms ComboBox Binding Problem

• Visual Studio Team System The source control thinks the local version is latest, although it is not

  Hi, I keep encountering the same problem: a file has newer version on the server than the local one, but the Source control thinks it is up to date. It shows 'Yes' in the 'Latest' column and doesn't get the latest version saying "All files are up to date". Compare command does show the difference between the versions. Why is not comparison run automatically, when I request for the latest version, to validate that the local version is indeed latest By the way, the source control thinks that the local version is up to date even after I delete or move the local file. Doesn't it check This behaviour is really annoying. I want to believe it is not a bug, but something wrong with the configuration. Please, help before I g ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development get_Document returns NULL in IE7

  Has anyone seen this behavior In IE7, when get_Document is called on IWEBBrowser2, it returns NULL. Basically, I am doing the following in the OnCreate of the explorer bar (my explorer bar is based on an HTML control): CAxWindow wnd(m_hWnd); HRESULT hr = wnd.CreateControl(IDH_HTML_SPLASH1); CComPtr<IDispatch> pHtmlDispatch; CComPtr<IHTMLDocument2> pHtmlDocument; hr = wnd.QueryControl(IID_IWebBrowser2, (void**)&m_spBrowser); if (m_spBrowser) m_spBrowser->get_Document(&pHtmlDispatch); After the above last line, pHtmlDispatch is NULL. This seems to happen only in IE7. What could be the reason And if pHtmlDispatch is NULL how else can I get hold of the document Thanks When I tried get_To ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums dialog placement

  Hi, I'm displaying a map using the ajax toolkit modal popup panel. I have a wee problem in that when a dialog is displayed by the map server e.g. the disambiguous dialog after a find command, it is behind the disabled background. Is the stylesheet definition used by the mapserver available so I could have a play to see if I can get it to display on top I can get around the problem with the disambiguous dialog by using a custom dialog but I have recently been getting a "server is temporarily unavailable" message which I don't appear to be able to catch. So if I can get a way to capture this event so I can display a custom error message it would solve my problem too. I have error handling on the map.find call and in my map.D ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Linking in MS Word 2003

  Hi everyone When I link a photograph in Word 2003, after I've saved it and close the document, when I go back in, the links are broke. I work on a server and have the photographs on one network drive and the documents on another. Can you help me please. Thanks This sounds like an end-user question, not a VSTO technology or even automation question. You should ask this in the word.drawing.graphics newsgroup. Be sure to include exactly how you're inserting the graphic with the link (exact commands) and how you're determining the links have been broken. In addition, mention which file format you're saving to, if not as a "Word.Document *.doc". And finally, check the se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Why XNA requires C# Express, not the Studio version?

  I'm new to XNA and I'm using VS2005. I just want to use XNA with VS2005 but it requires C# Express to be installed. That's a waste of disk space if I must install another version on my PC. I have two questions: Can I use XNA with VS2005 And if there is no other way, if I must install C# Express on my PC, will any conflict happens with the Studio version Yes, C# Express is required to install XNA. You can install C# Express, install XNA, uninstall C# Express and then use XNA with VS2005 but you lose quite a few of the benefits of XNA, primarily the content pipeline. So if you want to have the full benefits of XNA, you must use it with C# Express. VS2005 runs side by side with C# Express (and all the Express ...Show All

• SQL Server Dimensions within Excel Pivot Table

  Hi I have a cube that has dimensions such as year, company, customer, statustext, employee etc. In the Browse in Analysis Manager - all the dimensions look fine. When I access the same cube from Excel after dragging and dropping the dimensions during analysis the dimensions in the Page section are not what is show when dragged to the row section. For example - i have a display Customer as rows, years as columns. I drag the statustext next to customer and shows customer. The filter in the page section for statustext is correct. I have tried moving the dimension back to the Field List and re-adding, refreshing from the cube makes no difference. The only solution I have been able to come up with is rebuild the Pivot table - not wh ...Show All

• .NET Development Why am I getting OutOfMemory Exceptions???

  I have written/deployed a C# service using VS.NET 2003. This service is pretty simple. It communicates via TCP with a client. The client sends a request message. When the service receives the request, an stp is executed and a response message is returned to the client. All of the buffers that are used are static (hard-coded) buffers (with protection for buffer overflows). The service has multiple threads. There is a thread for each TCP connection with a given client. I have put in code to call the Garbage Collector's Collect() method when a new TCP connection is initiated. My (deployed) service is now getting OutOfMemory exceptions. I am not using any objects that would consume memory. So I am at a loss for this. Who i ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem using .FBX file

  I have a model that I downloaded off of TurboSquid. I pulled it into 3DS MAX 9, and exported it as an FBX file. I added it to my project, and when I try to compile I get the following error: BasicMaterial has a texture, but geometry does not contain texture coordinates. Is this a problem with 3DS or GSE Any ideas on how to fix it I haven't had much time today to look at it, but the problem appears to be in a part of the scene called "l_trim". It has a material which uses a texture, but it doesn't have any texture coordinates. I'll keep you informed what I find out. Can I email you That might work better than the forums.
