• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Visual Basic Express 2005 and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Together

  Win XP SP2, VB Express 2005, Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (full registered version). I have installed VB Express 2005. I then upgraded Crystal XI to Release 2 and installed. I added the CrystalReportViewer to the vb toolbox. I have the following references in my project: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, .ReportSource, .Shared, .Web, .Windows.Forms All are of .NET type and version 11.5.3700.0 When I put the CrystalReportViewer onto a form from the toolbox, the crviewer does not go onto the form itself but it goes down below the form (where the mainmenu or process components would reside). This means that I cannot resize the viewer myself on the form. After I set up the code and run the report, the parameter di ...Show All

• Visual Basic is there a way to modify code in vb.net on the fly when it is running?

  is there a way to modify code in vb.net on the fly when it is running I vb 6 you could hit ctrl break then modify the code then hit F5 and the changes were made. in VB 7 u have to do a recompile after u make the changes for them to take affect. Does anyone know if there is a way to make changes and not recompile the code and have the changes take affect right away. I have the same problem as well. I have two computers and on one I can edit and change code in break mode but the other does not allow it. Also debug.print does not work. I had a look at the above suggestions but none of them helped. Any Ideas Thanks   ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SpriteBatch and BlendModes (& rendering in the alpha channel)

  When using SpriteBatch it seems to override any RenderState settings for SourceBlend and DestinationBlend. Is there a way to change these settings or is there another way to draw a texture using your own RenderState settings There are two I would like to use : graphics.GraphicsDevice. RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = true ; graphics.GraphicsDevice .RenderState.SourceBlend = Blend .SourceAlpha; graphics.GraphicsDevice .RenderState.DestinationBlend = Blend .One; and graphics.GraphicsDevice.RenderState.AlphaBlendEnable = true ; graphics.GraphicsDevice .RenderState.SourceBlend = Blend .SourceAlpha; graphics.GraphicsDevice .RenderState.DestinationBlend = Blend .

• Visual C++ Tree-view with checkboxes (Win32)

  I have created a tree-view control with the TVS_CHECKBOXES style. I want to include a few items on root level as a kind of headings only. I don't want these to have checkboxes. Then the default functionality is not good enough, but it should be possible to achieve this by providing a state image list and setting the state image index to 0. I have created a bitmap (48x16, 16 colors) with three images. One blank, one empty checkbox, and one selected checkbox. I create the list and selects it with the following code: HIMAGELIST himl; himl = ImageList_Create(16,16,ILC_COLOR4,3,1); TreeView_SetImageList(GetDlgItem(hDlg,IDC_OPTIONS),himl,TVSIL_STATE); I then set an item: TVINSERTSTRUCT tvis; HTREEITEM hItem; tvis.hParent = NU ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Reports?

  Please pardon my ignorance, but I'm just beginning to test the test tools. I successfully created and ran a web test, viewed the results and saw some issues there. Isn't there some way to generate a report from the tests We always have to show a report of the test results. Any clues appreciated.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Should my 2D game engine use Vector2s or pairs of floats?

  I just recently changed, oh, about a 1000 lines of code in my game engine. Instead of using Vector2 for things like position and size, I decided to use floats instead. Does anyone else use Vector2's as their main position and size data types in their 2D game Right now, I have the code for both versions, and I'm trying to make entirely sure floats are the way to go before throwing one of them away. Any comments I say use Vector2's. I'm not quite sure how any noob would have trouble using Vector2's over floats. " But C# makes things a little more difficult and inefficient when using structs as properties than I had anticipated" You can always have a property like.. public float PosX { get { return mPosition.X } se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Updating custom wrappers

  My Windows Forms application uses the Windows Media Player control AxWMPLib. Today, after making a small change in the program, I noticed a warning message in the IDE that said that there was an update to a custom wrapper that I was using (MSComctLib). Double clicking on the warning presented an opportunity to use the new wrapper. I clicked OK. Big mistake! My assemblies lost all reference to AxWMPLib. The designer went nuts and would no longer draw my form in designer mode. I could not figure out how to recover the program--either by referencing to the new wrapper or reconnecting to the old one. I was able to recover by copying my up-to-date .cs files into a backup of the solution. So, my questions are: 1. What is the prope ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling C# methods from a javascript

  Hi, I need to call a C# method from a JSP.The C# application is a Windows application. How can it be implemented Thanks It might be complicated. I don't know anything about Java Server Pages, but if they support COM you might be able to access the C# windows application through .NET Interop. You will have to expose a COM interface. Another way might be to use web services. Give your C# appliaction a web-service front-end and have JSP use whatever it uses to contact your web service and operate the application. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can I get a string from a PerformanceCounter?
