• Visual C# Combobox.HandleCreated question.

  I decided to fill a combobox with items from a DataSet but it naturally should work only once. I chose HandleCreated method. The odd thing is: the ComboBox is filled up TWICE: I see a double set of my record fields in the control. Is it something specific to this method that it fires twice I checked my entire code and could not find another place where this function could be possibly called from. What is a better way to do this task Thanks. There are better places to fill a combox box other than HandleCreated event. This event can be fired many times. Since the combo box will be placed on a form (or a UserControl perhaps) then you can fill it in the form's constructor or in the form's Load event. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A noob's first game: Shape Battles (a GeoWars clone)

  Well, I've "finished" work on my first game, which was really just a launching pad for me to experiment with XNA etc. Im quite new to game programming and have limited experience with C# (although I have exp with C and work with ASP.Net in my 9-5). I wanted to post my source code for anyone interested in checking it out, in the hopes that other noobs like myself could gain something from it. You can find it on my MSN Blog here: http://xnagamer.spaces.live.com/ Enjoy, and comments are defnitely appreciated! Thanks! The Creator's Club doesn't work that way right now. People have to get the source for a game compile and deploy it from GSE to their 360. That will change (soon hopefully) and will hop ...Show All

• .NET Development Synchronised Time

  Hi, We have client applications that need to synchronise their data with one another. For this reason the time on each of the PC's needs to be the same (within 2 minute margin is fine). The synchronisation procedure runs every hour but certain clients can only synchronise after months (laptop-user)! How can we ensure their clocks are synchronised at all times If there is a webservice somewhere on the internet that provides the time, how do we read it Also, does anyone know of two-way synchronisation code/documentation worth looking at Thanks D. Windows has built-in time synchronization. Normally, a computer logged into a domain will synchronize its time with the domain controller. Alternatively, any Windows computer ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development XML Parser Performance..

  Does anyone have any relationship data between XML Parsing (using the built in spec Parser) and specific CES devices We are looking for data based on the parsing and handling the parsed xml stream, such as dynamically creating menus, pop up messages, dynamic playlist navigation, game engine datasets etc. Our SAX implementation and DOM implementations are multi-format compatible but we are looking to verify performance at this time before giving up on the built in spec parser. Any one doing this kind of dynamic work already and willing to share their experiences Thanks, Denny B. Yes we have implemented an XML parser for cross compatibility (BD-J, Netblender, and HDi) ...Show All

• SQL Server Run Report Multiple times Programmatically in order to create a Table of Contents

  Hi, I have been working through how to generate a Table of Contents (page numbers need to be from a pdf format) in the front of a very large price list report. I am so close to having everything the way I need it. In fact, I can get the desired results by manually doing the following: 1. Run the report in Report Server - (custom assembly writes the preview page numbers to a TOC database table) 2. Truncate the database table - (I'm not sure why I have to do this, but it is the only way I can get the new values created in step 3 to write to the database properly) 3. Export to pdf in Report Server - (writes the correct pdf page numbers to the TOC table) 4. Refresh the report in Report Server 5. Export to pdf again in Report ...Show All

• Visual Basic Difference between And and AndAlso???

  Whats the performance difference or any difference when building if statements using AndAlso, OrElse instead of Or and And Spotty, I'm a new guy here...new to Visual Basic. Am I to understand that the use of AndAlso and OrElse primarily provide performance benefits in that unnecessary code is not evaluated It seems like this is generally something that goes on well beyond the view of the user and that, in most cases, a user would never know (or care) that an AndAlso statement was used as opposed to an And statement. Would it be a good practice to exclusively use AndAlso and OrElse , unless a specific case for using And or Or came up This question seems to have been answered a number of different ways, but I'm trying to ge ...Show All

• Visual Basic Security

  Hi all I am a relative newbie to .Net and know little about security issues. I have written a VB2005 application that I have installed on one workstation. This works fine. I now need to be able to run this application from another workstation. If I open the shared folder that contains the application from the second workstation and try to run the app I get a security message telling me that I cannot run the app. What do I need to do to allow this to happen I need to keep the application in an identifiable shared folder so that a second app running on the second workstation can call it. Thanks in advance Roy Thompson Hi, I think you would have to enable threading or is it called multi-threading for your applicatio ...Show All
