• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. get screen resolution & FullScreen

  How do I get screen resolution of the computer Because my program will be shared between many computers, I want the program to find the resolution of the computer on wich it is running. By example, on my computer at home, the program will return the value 1024 and the value 768 in order to make 1024 X 768. On my laptop, I will get 1920 and 1200. I want to get the width and the height separately, in two variables. With those values, I will be able to set automatically on each computer the window size as I want it.

• Visual FoxPro how can i restore a form that failed to load?

  it happens when i compile my project. "Error Loading file-record number 3. cursoradapter < or one of its members>. Methods: c:\myprogram\forms\solditem.SCT is not an object file" is there anyway we can restore it since if we copy from the original, and or make another d'same form from scratch it's a long process. Thank you I meant record #3 in your scx file. You should do something like this: -Take backup of .scx and .sct -Try a compiling and check if that works (that might be the only thing needed at times) compile form solditem.scx -If it doesn't work: use solditem.scx browse && check record#3 use It's hard to say what you're looking for but you might find some offending code in prop ...Show All

  Have any body converted an application from windows mobile 5.0 treo 700w to palm treo 700p. I have an application for windows mobile 5.0.This application consists of three c++ projects and on C# project. i.e. 1,A Service [c++ dll] 2,A today screen plugin [ c++ dll] 3,A messaging prject [c++ exe] 4, C# client project [exe] Now I also want's convert it for the treo 700p [palm os] What Can I do. Probably nothing, you'd need to rewrite your entire application from scratch. There's no way you can "convert" it, at best you can reuse some C++ code. In this case you can probably reuse nothing. Palm OS is single task OS, so no services. There’s also no "today" plug-in and no C#. Not sure what "messaging p ...Show All

• .NET Development Transfering large volume of binary data through the wire

  Hi everyone, We have data reaching upto 100 MB.We are sending data in the form of byte[]. Which technology should we use in this case,for data transfer .I had used DCOM which was sufficiently faster.Both the server application and client windows application are written in .Net. (visual studio 2003 and .Net 1.1). we don't need to publish a webservice.Communication can be done through VPN. Remoting might not be useful in a scenario, where data reaches up to 100 MB,I don't know.Can we consider socket programming or should we stick to webservices. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Abhi We use MTOM and WSE 30.0 to transfer large chunks of data to a webservice. The data is then assembled ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why workspace setting in Source Control Explorer and Pending Changes?

  Why workspace setting in Source Control Explorer and Pending Changes It seems this can end up being very confusing to users if they attempted to use more than one workspace, as if they are looking at source control explorer and expecting operations based on the workspace they set there, and then try to do an operation like unshelve they find it reports none of their files are mapped. They look at their workspace setting on source control explorer and it looks fine. (Turns out you need to change the one in pending changes to the right workspace). Seems that it is an edge case where you would ever want these to be different. Seems like they should be sync'd together by default at the very least and only unsync'd if I explicitly c ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to get the filename into the "Insert Picture" dialogue?

  Our company written a marco that used in MS Words and it as same as the "insert -> picture -> from file" dialogue, but we want to enhance it to get the filename automatically when the dialogue box is opened to instead of blank. Hi, Looks like the built-in dialog does not take a initial filename argument. You can change the folder using, Options.DefaultFilePath(wdPicturesPath) = "C:\" Instead try the Filedialog object. Dim dlgFile As FileDialog Set dlgFile = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) With dlgFile .Filters.Add "Images", "*.bmp; *.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg", 1 .InitialFileName = "c:\temp\happy" .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewThu ...Show All

• Visual C# Get window handle

  Hi All, Is there any possibility of getting the handles of all windows which are present in the taskbar. I need to track down which window is being closed and display a message stating the file name of the closed window. Ahh you must be using .NET 1.1. That example uses Generics which was introduced with v2.0. It enables you to strongly type a List. Easily solved for 1.1 by using an ArrayList instead. Process [] processes = Process .GetProcesses(); ArrayList windowHandles = new ArrayList (); foreach ( Process process in processes) { if (process.MainWindowTitle != string .Empty) { windowHandles.Add(process.Handle); } } Doing it this way you must cast the items in t ...Show All

• Visual C# help with arrays

  I have an application where I have two arrays such as: string [] array1 = { "one" , "two" , "three" , "four" }; string [] array2 = { "two" , "four" , "six" }; I am hoping that C# offers an easy way to compare the two arrays and return an array of those elements that are different (in this case, I would have a three-element array containing the strings "one", "three" and "six"). In PHP, it's as simple as (I may have the function name wrong, but you get the idea) differentArray = array_diff(array1, array2); I don't want to code all of the logic myself and it seems like a basic and useful enough function to be part ...Show All
