• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HorizontalAlignment on DataTemplate in GridView (bug?)

  We have a ListView with a GridView, witch has a DataTemplate on the columns. The DataTemplate consist of a border with a TextBox. In May CTP the HorizontalAlignment=Stretch on the Border and TextBox worked fine, but this doesn’t seem to be the case in June CTP Best regards,   Thomas Andersen   Hehe, thanks. Didn't think of that dirty workaround. I would however classify it as a bug. It worked fine in May CTP (I haven't tested July CTP though). I'll use the workaround for the time being, thanks. Best regards, Thomas Andersen ...Show All

• .NET Development how to unloading xml document to reclaim memory?

  I have noticed that when I try to unload xml document by calling Release() on Document MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocument pointer the memory occupied by the DOM (when I call load) is not returned back. Is calling Release on MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocument pointer is good enough to reclaim the memory used up by DOM after calling load ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Render Target For Effects.

  I am having a problem here. In PC development I love the availablity of StretchRect. You can render an entire scene at a high resolution then stretch it to a low res map to create all sort of fun effects. The problem is XNA does not support stretch rect ... so then is the only option to: A. Render the whole scene to a render target and use it to create lower render targets for use in effects. (Currently using) Pros: 1. Very Fast. 2. Only 1 scene render Cons: 1. Locked to texture resolutions 1024x1024 or 512x 512 2. Will never be a perfect monitor resolution match thus muddy areas will always be there. B. Render the whole scene once at full rez then render it a second time to a Render targe ...Show All

• Visual C++ Writing Scalable IOCP Socket Apps

  Ok, so I have done a fair amount of research, and I dont "get it". I understand IOCP is a huge and powerful concept, and relatively new. Anyway, I am having a LOT of problems while setting it up, and not sure if what I'm doing is what its supposed to be doing. Before you direct me to a link just yet, I'll show you were I have looked: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/1000/winsock/ http://win32.mvps.org/network/sockhim.html And an ungodly amount of time in the MSDN winsock functions/structs/etc. The problem with the first 2, is they give a good dive into it, but the example source code doesnt really show the steps of doing it. The 1st link doesnt go a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Repositioning Graphic Objects

  Hi, Background: I am sending four collections of simple graphic objects(lines,rectangles..polygons) to a printer (to represent four different scale views of a building). The paper size is initially A4, but may be required to be multiple A4 or A3 if the graphic objects do not fit. This is referred to as the page number/size escalation process. I am using the various graphic class transformation functions and it works well. So far, I don't draw the images to screen prior to printing. The challenge is optimally fit the four collections on the page so that more pages are only needed if every effort has been exhausted to fit the images at any particular level in the page escalation hierarchy. I could just assign a static po ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Intercepting Exit

  Is there a way to intercept and abort the closure of the Game window when the user clicks the close button Something similar to the FormClosing event for a Form window, where FormClosingEventArgs.Cancel can be set to true, if the user decides to change their mind and save their location, for example. I haven't found it yet... I'm just hoping I've missed it. Alternatively, can I disable the close button Thanks, Paul EDIT: Nevermind, I think I answered my own question. Out of curiosity, does this mean we could build a handler for incoming system messages through this as well ...Show All

• .NET Development Measure data-traffic per IP-adress

  I have a pc with a number of devices connected to it. They are all connected via an utp cable. All devices have their own IP-adress. Now I want to measure the traffic of this data. In this way I want to check wether there is activity at the device (scanner). So when the number of bytes during a certain period is below a certain value, it must start another process. This must be monitored per IP adress. I want to use C# code to make this work. It's not my goal to measury the connectivity, I've read several articles on that subject. It's really about the quantity of data. Other recommendations regarding this subject are welcome as well. Thanks in advance!

• Windows Forms Using DLLs in a Windows Form Application

  I'm new to Visual Studio (I have VS 2005 Standard Edition) and I'm using C++. I'm trying to learn how to code a DLL with some standard functions I use instead of including a cpp file into every project that needs it. Using the help I got a DLL to work with a Win32 project using __declspec(dllexport) and __declspec(dllimport) and by using a .def file. I know the DLL itself works. When I try a Windows Form Application I run into problems. I follow the same steps for linking to the DLL but I get errors as it can't use __declspec(dllimport). From the help files in Studio I gather because Forms apps compile using CLR:Pure I can't import the usual way, but none of the examples seems to explain what you do to use the DLLs. I've tried .def fil ...Show All
