Visual Basic print preview
why would a printing to the screen (locally) attempt to communicate over a VPN is this an option i can shut off i am having an issue where print previewing without the vpn is nice and quick and print previewing with a vpn hits the vpn like its trying to send information across the network...but nothing should be going across... Thanks Dan Print preview uses the printer driver to provide the preview. This driver will probably try to communicate with the actual printer, looking for stuff like currently selected printer options. Try installing the printer locally and make that local printer your default printer. ...Show All
Internet Explorer Development Does the IE7 Favorites Import/Export Wizard support Unicode?
I have Chinese names and URLs in my favorites list. When I tried to export the favorites using the Import/Export Wizard, I examined the output xml file (bookmark.htm) and all the Chinese characters are gone, replaced with " ". I have the various Chinese languages (zh-HK, zh-CN, zh-TW) in the list at Internet Options > Languages but apparently this didn't matter. Does the IE7 favorites Import/Export Wizard support Unicode, or is there a way to make it support Unicode Thanks! Thanks for looking into this. I manually edited the output file "bookmark.htm" in notepad to correct the " " back to the original Chinese characters, then saved the file in Unicode. I ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Problems accessing TFS from a Web Service
Hello, I have a application that connects to the TFS and retrieves a Work Item. (it's a web service that subscribes to the WorkItemChangedEvent, but since the event does not contain all custom fields of the Work Item, just the core fields and the changed ones, I have to call TFS to get the rest of the fields...) The application has worked for two months, but now I'm running into this every now and then (i.e. some calls succeed, and some fail): Offending code: workItem = workItemStore.GetWorkItem(tfsWorkItemID); Exception: "Cannot pass a GCHandle across AppDomains" Now, I have SP1 installed which is supposed to take care of this (before SP1, you'd get this error every time - it was impossible to access TFS from a web service).

Visual C++ Problem : D3D-overloads : from MVStudio 2003 to 2005
I have an application running in Studio 2003, which use #define D3D_OVERLOADS. At this moment I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 but my application doesn't work anymore : Cannot open include file: 'd3d.h' ... Cannot open include file: 'ddraw.h'... Can anyone give my tips on how to solve this problem Thanks I have a similar problem - porting a project from VC6 to VC2005, the d3d.h and d3dtypes.h files are missing - they are there in the VC6 VC98\Include directory, but not anywhere for VC2005. By installing DirectX SDK, do I understand correctly that I should download and install the 509MB dxsdk_oct2006.exe file, or am I missing something Thanks in advance. ...Show All
Visual Studio Project References
I am having a problem that is quite annoying. I have a web project setup that is under source control via source safe. I have a code library that contains all business/data logic. Now, everytime I add a reference to the new code library DLL's, it removes the bindings from source safe, so when I perform a Check In, the new DLL's never check in. The way I get around this is deleting the DLL's from the web project's bin, and manually dragging and dropping the DLL's into the web projects bin folder. It then Adds them to source safe. Any way around this What is the normal procedure for this situation then We have several projects that need to be referenced by our main web project. Many designers and developers alike work on the web ...Show All

Architecture Business Logic & SQL
Hi, has anyone in here got some guidance or direction for Patterns and Practices on this one When should business logic be put into a SQL Stored procedure and when should it be put into Class object we are debating different architectural approaches and I am looking for some guidance. TIA Referenced post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=55375&SiteID=1 Another rule of thumb: If you decide to design the persistant elements as classes and then define the database, you are probably better with classes having the logic and vice versa. Why you want to leave data access with the team which designed the model ;-) Anyway, there is no one answer. Using stored procedures opti ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question regarding making landscape in 2D
My question is rather simple. I have a texture and a landscape map to apply it to. It is possible to make a rectangular sprite in XNA, but is it possible to cut a part from it Here's an example for better understanding of what I'm aiming for: http://img335.imageshack.us/img335/9972/examplent7.jpg The only way I can think of is to make a different texture for every sprite, changing its shape every time. But that really it not the easiest and smartest way... I'm a little confused as to why you want to cut out a part of your texture given your illustration. Assumming that you know which parts to cut out beforehand, then adding an alpha channel to your texture would be the way to go (as others have ...Show All
