• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Buttons and ...

  Is it possible to use Buttons and other UI elements with XNA Can you combine XNA and Windows Forms Thx And a Happy New Year You can't mix them together, but you can do the traditional side-by-side - e.g., you have a viewport displaying your scene, and then some panels with buttons/etc on the side (like how most level editors/etc look). Search around on the forums here and you can probably find some code for setting it up; it's almost identical to how MDX did it. An alternative is to have a separate window with your UI in it - this allows you to still use Game, although it's tricky unless you have experience with WinForms as you have to run the WinForms stuff in another ...Show All

• SQL Server Disable HideDuplicates from Report Builder

  I have some business analysts (I guess Microsoft would call them Information Workers) using Report Builder to design reports, but also as a querying tool. They often times dump the results of their reports/queries into Excel, do some crunching, and then come back to write a better report. When the Report Builder builds groups, it inherently turns on the HideDuplicates property / element so that it only displays distinct values on the group by fields. This looks great on a report, but is impractical for Excel, where the data is going to be manipulated by row. In the .rdl, I found the element "HideDuplicates" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152916.aspx controls this behavior of the report. However, I cannot find an ...Show All

• Windows Forms click WindowForm close button to generate an event C#

  Background: I am programming a windows form class in C# in visual studio 2003. I don't know how to generate an event that tells me that the window is closed. Suppose that I have a class extending from windows.forms.form. Let's call it Main.cs. Then I create another class extending from windows.forms.form. Call it SecondMain.cs. When I click the close button, which is "x" button in the top right corner of the SecondMain window, how does Main.cs know that the SecondMain window is closed There is a form_Closing event which you can implement in your Form class if this helps From this you could probably raise some event to your other class to indicate that the form is closing ...Show All

• .NET Development PROBLEM WITH FTP FIREWALL IN C#

  My problem deals with the fact that I was able to FTP files to and from a friend's site that doesn't have a firewall but I now have the real FTP information and it does have a firewall and I have no idea how to FTP a file to this new FTP location. I am under severe time pressure and would like to see the commands necessary in C# and NET 2.0 to accomplish this goal. Here is an example I was given by the site administrator using DOS FTP to access and upload a file. I will change the passwords in the example below: ftp -n open edifxpbw.geia.com user yppc112 yppc110GX user 10033XDIR@edi.yppc.geia.com 15211 HENRY binary put DirectoryStart.dat %YPPC-TEST%DIR ls mblist Here is an example of an upload that I created in C# ...Show All

• SQL Server .net and Sql Express

  Hi all, I have written a simple .net class to call sql functions like create subscription and sync replication. I am using merge replication. My Question is this:-- my class calls Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.dll. On a machine that has SQL Express loaded it works but on a machine that does not have sql express it fails. I have made a setup project and deployed my "service". I added all references into the project and all works well on a machine that has sql express. We are running a network with 1 machine that has sql express and other machines that plug into this sql express. Is there a sql express runtime setup or do I have to load sql express on each machine. OR Am I deploying my class wrong. my setup project has the Micros ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [RuleWrite("somefiled")]

  Hi Can you give me a good example how to use [RuleRead/Write/Invoke] with PolicyActivity I don't get example from manual... I want some pratical real life example how to use and when :) Jedrzej The RuleRead attribute is used when let's say in your rule condition, you have a method inside which you read some fields. The RuleRead attribute then helps the Rule Engine by indicating what fields are being Read since it is not obvious to the engine (the method call is a black box). Same goes for RuleWrite. The reason this is needed is so that the engine can do analysis of side-effects/reads/writes so that it can do forward chaining. ...Show All

• .NET Development CAS Policy Problem

  I have an assembly deployed which demands a certain permission. This assembly is strong named and lives in the \bin directory. To make configuration "easy", I figured I'd add a new Code Group to my Runtime Security Policy using the .NET Configuration tool which grants Full Trust to my assembly. The Code Group is under All_Code and the Membership Condition of the Code Group looks for a strong name of an assembly using the public key of the assembly (derived by importing the .dll). I disregard name and version. Straightforward, right It just doesn't work, though! Every time, my assembly fails the permission demand! In theory, it should have full trust, right What could be going wrong It s ...Show All
