.NET Development Is IT a BUG of DOT NET ? Abnormal Behaviour of C# (Dot Net) IDE (Microsoft Development Environment)
Is It a BUG of Dot NET. Abnormal Behaviour of C# (Dot Net) IDE (Microsoft Development Environment) Can anybody guide for the following problem..... Presently I am working in a huge C# project solution consists of about 7 projects but with one startup project. It has about 170 objects ( about 30 forms, 60 C# class files, 20 User controls and many data objects, crystal report objects etc.) My machine has very good configuration ( P4 - Intel Original Motherboard, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HDD etc..). It is also connected to SourceSafe. This project is on for morethan 3-4months. Recently, I have started facing a surprising problem only with this project solution in my machine.

Windows Forms Automatic shift of ScrollableControl contents
Hello, I'm creating a custom control whose client area is painted by DirectX (it uses the Application.Idle event, and the "AppStillIdle" check as described in this blog ). Now, I need this control to be scrollable. DirectX still paints the same area, but the scrollbar positions control some internal vitual offset which affects what's being drawn. The problem is, the scrollable controls seem to actually automatically shift the content of the client area when the scrollbars are dragged, probably to optimize user's experience. Unfortunately in this case it's not desirable, because the content gets partially shifted by the control and partially repainted by the idle processing, which looks quite ugly. So my question is, is there a ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Displaying DataTable in run-time
Hi, I've got the following issue: My application is intended to show any table from the database. It means that the structure of the table is only known in run-time. I looked through the samples, but all the examples contain DataTemplate definition in XAML file that is not my case. I browsed the documentation but did not manage to fing the way how to create DataTemplate programmatically. Are there any ideas how can I display a table when its structure is only known during runtime. TIA thank you very much. It shows all the lines now, but they are the same :-( I have made new solution with only project. then modified the only part of you code. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) ...Show All
SharePoint Products and Technologies MySite Creation
I have a MOSS 2007 enterprise in a single server environment. Everything is working alright but I would like to create mysites for all users on my network and lock them down prior to the user logging in to the system. I can give them access and permissions to the sharepoint site, but I do not want them to create their mysite themselves. I would like to build the mysite for them; is this possible MySites are created and the creation is initiated by the user. If your looking at creating a certain look and feel you are probably looking at creating some customized site definitions. I dont remember if Todd covered this in his book but teh Developers Guilde to Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 would be a good place to look for information on ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GenerateMipMaps
Do I have to write my own mipmap-generator or is their a possibility to auto-generate mipmaps. I've tried the method GenerateMipMaps from the Texture class, but all generated mipmaps are entirely black. In the case you upload the texture content by your own you have to build the mip maps too. GenerateMipMaps works only for texture that are used as render targets after you have draw to it. ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) binding to display more than 1 item
hello i'm in the middle of creating a WPF application that will show some simple graphs (at the minute just a polyline), ive created a nice little data structure that will allow for any number of lines and any number of points to be created. i also have a list that displays these lines and points. my canvas holds the polyline and the polyline is bound to the accessor method for each line. this works lovely in the sense that i can click on any line in my list and the relevant graph will be shown. however i could do with having the display show more than 1 line at a time. is this possible and any ideas how it could be done thanks :-) below is the code for my canvas <Canvas ClipToBounds="True" x:Name="polyCanvas"> ...Show All
SQL Server dynamically creating a select statement

.NET Development C++ Web Service
Hi Folks, I'm writing a small web service in C++ (apparently a foolhardy endeavor). Basic operation looks OK. However, I'm having the darndest time getting FindWindow() to work. Possibly making matters worse, I'm using multibyte strings, not Unicode. #define CLASS_NAME "Game Player" ... f_hPlayerWnd = FindWindowA(CLASS_NAME, NULL); Everything compiles and runs, but FindWindow keeps returning 0, even passing NULL for lpWindowName. When I call FindWindow from within the app I'm looking for, it works fine, so I'm thinking it's not a typo in lpClassName. Any help appreciated.

Visual Studio Team System TFS Integration Licensing
Hi, I need to find out the licensing requirements for integrating TFS with other applications. I have a couple of scenarios: 1) TFS draws issue information from another issue tracking system. Once the issue is completed in TFS, the issue details in the other system are updated. 2) I want to develop a web front end to allow testers to post bugs into TFS. How many CALs do I need for each of these options For scenarios like this we sell a separate kind of CAL that's licensed per machine. I believe it's called the 'TFS Connector license' or similar. Details are in the licensing whitepaper. ...Show All
.NET Development Very Strange Error coming from .NET Framework/Runtime

Visual Studio Express Editions Where do I start, Classic-C++ or .NET style?
Hey there everybody. I wanted to learn Visual C++, completely in and out. But now I can't decide where to start. Do I start learning : i) The Classic style, Visual C++ 6.0 using the windows.h header an' all, OR ii) Do I start with the .NET Eventually, I wanna learn both. But can anyone tell me which would be the better way to start I know the generic C++ completely (I've worked on Turbo-C++, which means I don't know the windows core libraries). I have several questions, I'll just organize them into a list : Note : I refer to programs written in C++ using the windows.h header as Classic-style C++, and those C++ programs using .NET as C++ .NET, or simply .NET 1) Where do I start, Classic or .NET 2) Which is of higher prior ...Show All
Visual C++ Refreshing Windows
I am developing a MDI application and I can not get my Windows to refresh. I have a CFormView window attached to a data document. The data document collects data from external hardware and processes it. This process can take several minutes. If I switch to another application while the data document is collecting data and then switch back my application windows don't update until the data document finishes, giving the user the impression that the application has crashed. How can I get the CFormView window to refresh before the Data document has finished processing I have tried RedrawWindow() and this does not work. Any help would be appreciated.
