• Windows Forms Night Vision

  I am working on a military application that needs to support a "night vision" mode - that is, make the application appear in a green scale color pallet to make it easier on the eyes in reduced lighting. Now, I know I can take an approach that will "skin" or "theme" my application to make it appear green (our GUI COTS product Infragistics NetAdvantage makes this possible), but it still isn't a 100% solution because we would need to re-do all of our images/icons that we use in the app to a green scale version, and then code the functionality to change the images at runtime when needed. Further, because we display maps and map information, there isn't an easy way to change all of the maps into a green scale. Havi ...Show All

• SQL Server Horizontal table

  I have seen the blog article about creating  horizontal tables but it says that you need to have a static number of rows. Is there a way to do this if you have dynamic rows   I need for information to flow down the page and then start at top of the next column and then flow down again. I need 3 columns. Unfortunately, there can be very little or a lot of information in each section.  I need to do this: Contract 1                          Contract 4                         ...Show All

• SQL Server Expression problem in Model Designer

  Hi I created a model on a rational schema (sql server). It also contains dates. That datetime is split up into the date itself, daynumber, weeknumber, monthnumber, ... I want to create an extra field like dayName or monthName, based on those day/month - numbers. How do I do that I can't seem to find the right functions in the Model Designer who do that. tnx In this release, Report Builder does not provide a way to display a text value for a field (e.g. month name) while sorting on some other value (e.g. month number). There may be a way to get this behavior if you had an actual Date table and corresponding Date entity, although I haven't tried this. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Debugging running very slow

  While working on my program, I run the debug to test it out. It is running very slow. I saw somewhere where VB Express takes up a lot of RAM. My computer has 640 MB of RAM. Is it running slow because it is in debugging mode Because if this is how slow the actual program will run when I release it, I have a big problem on my hands. I don't think I'm doing anything overly complicated. For example, the main screen has 3 buttons. When I click on one of them, it takes several seconds (20 ) just to open a form with a DataGridView. Can anyone tell me if this is normal Thanks. John Hi, How are you doing the debugging Did you check the time taken to load the form Also, have enuff breakpoints to check whic ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Language Pack installer issue

  I have Office SharePoint 2007 installed on Server 2003 and using SQL Server 2005. Also installed is Designer 2007 and all available SDK's. When trying to install InfoPath 2007 and Forms Server 2007 I am getting a error: "The Lanuage Pack of this system is not supported by your system". Although it would seem obvious that I downloaded the incorrent installers, I do not believe this to be the case since I have tried each of them a couple times in addition to having someone else download the installer for me. Anyone heard of this before or have any ideas Thanks, Greg I meant to follow this up sooner but forgot. I found out what the issue was in case anyone else ever comes across it... "s ...Show All

• Windows Forms Non-transparent controls on transparent form

  Hello! I have a problem that drives me crazy. I googled for hours now. I have a custom shaped form, e.g. the transparency key of the form is set to, lets say red. On this form I have a user control that implements an image slideshow. Every red pixel in an image appears transparent. How can I tell windows that the transparency key should only be applied to the form, but not to the controls on it The same problem appears when playing video on a custom shaped form. How does the mediaplayer do Thanks in advance! Try using the Form.Region property to set your custom shape instead of using the transparency key. ...Show All
