• .NET Development I'm new, and I am very confused

  Hi, before I begin, i'll tell you a bit about where I am with programming. I'm trying to learn web services with VB2005, and I'm having alot of trouble finding reliable tutorials that exceed "HelloWorld." HelloWorld is a good place to start, but right now I'm trying to connect to NorthWind. I have no idea where to begin, aside from (I think) using System.Data.SqlClient. If you would at least point me in the direction of a nice tutorial site (other than W3schools, i've cleared through every piece of info I could find on that page), I would be most appreciative. If you are going to take the time to explain what I should be doing (which would be VERY appreciated, I know how time consuming it is) please explain yourself as t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Microsoft outlook Calendar Control ?

  Requirement: I need to create a VB.NET front end that has a Microsoft Outlook style calendar control. The very basic thing would be a calendar control in which you can add TEXT to each day. An advanced version would be a calendar control in which i can add appointments to each day. Another good enhancement would be a calendar control in which i can add a VB.NET control (like a DGV) to each day..... Can anyone recommend me to any control like that.... Thanks !!

• Visual Studio Team System Project field mapping questions

  All I am trying to use Project in conjunction with TFS for tracking both my project and the accuracy of my planning. To that end, I would like to have Project show me the dates I planned each task to go (based mainly on links with other tasks), and have the dates in TFS be the Actual dates. To support this, I am thinking that I need to remove the mappings between TFS StartDate and Project pjTaskStart as well as TFS EndDate and Project pjTaskEnd. I also have to add mappings from TFS ActivatedDate to Project's Actual Start Date and TFS Resolved Date to Project's Actual End. Regarding this I have 2 questions: 1) What are the correct names of the project fields 2) Is there something that I am missing that makes this idea "out ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How To Invoke A Non-Public Constructor On Compact Framework?

  Hi, I'm hoping someone can help please. I am using the factory pattern to instantiate a family of generated classes, for which I have made their default (and only) constructor internal to ensure that these are only instantiated using the factory. On the desktop .NET framework, this was trivial using the Activator .CreateInstance(Type, Boolean) overload, where the Bool param can be used to include "non-public" constructors when Reflecting. On CF 2.0, there are no such overloads on Activator .CreateInstance (in fact, there are NO overloads for Activator .CreateInstance ). I have tried using myType .InvokeMember(".ctor", BindingFlags .CreateInstance | BindingFlags .NonPublic, null, null, null) , discovering ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Learning a programming language AND game programming concepts simultaneously a pipe dream?

  I'm tryig to learn C# programming with the aim of creating games, but boy is it a struggle. I think the stumbling block for most people (and I include myself in this group) whose primary interest in programming is games related, is that a large conceptual leap is required between document-based programming and real-time programming - and there simply isn't any sufficient discussion or tutorials explaining the fundamentals of the concept to ease the transition. The basic problem is anyone who starts out learning a language like C# pretty much finds themself with nothing but books teaching the language from the perspective of programming forms, event-handlers, interacting with controls  and basically looking at exer ...Show All

• Visual C++ A final WMI question (I hope)

  Hi Folks; I need to use WMI to determine the disk drive sizes in a system with multiple drives. The system I've tested this on has the drives but WMI seems to add the drive sizes together. I've looked on the msdn site and checked out the Win32_DiskDrive table but couldn't find anything to specifically meet my needs. I was wondering if there was a way to pull out individual drive sizes. OK. What I need though is not so much the free space but the sizes of the drives. So if I had an 80Gb and 20Gb then I need a query that returns a list 80Gb,20Gb as opposed to what it does now and that is return 100Gb. ...Show All
