• Visual Studio How to catch .net 2003/5 solution tree drag and drop event

  I am using EnvDTE to build an addin for .net 2003/2005. I am trying to catch the drag and drop event of the solution tree for both file items and folders. From the EnvDTE module, I can't find anything which is really useful to do this. Also, found that IVsHierarchyDropDataTarget and IVsHierarchyDropDataSource interfaces in the VSIP provide support for drag and drop, but I have no idea to hook them up with the IDE's solution tree so that we could catch the event. Please help on this. Thanks very much. Ivan Hi Ivan, This particular interface is implemented by the hierarchy implementor. Basically, the project hierarchy consists of a number of interfaces, like IVsUIHierarchy, IOleCommandTarget, IV ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) blend project to VS to xbap - how?

  I have created a project in Blend. It has a xaml file and some codebehind which is c#. I now want to create an xbap. I have VS installed but have no idea how to create the xbap. I open up the project in VS and get lots of warnings and the project will compile and run. I then right click the project and choose publish and go through a wizard which creates a bunch of files that dont mean a great deal to me. On one site I saw that it was possible to look manually create the xbap instead of using the wizard - could someone point me in the right direction in VS on where this is or better still any tutorials out there It used to be nice and easy as I used EID to create the xbap but with Blend its not possible and you have to now learn V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions error connecting to database

  I am using VC# Express and trying to connect to a SQL 2000 database. The error message when I compile the application is as follows: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Is there anyway to connect to SQL 2000 with VC# Express or is this a waste of my time. using System; using System.Data; //ADO.NET namespace using System.Data.SqlClient; //Use SQL Server data provider namespace using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace Da ...Show All

• SQL Server HOW TO: Print a report directly to a printer

  The code below is a class file done in vb.net. The original idea came from reading this forum and some blogs. To use the code below, you can create a windows application or service. then create a class file and drop this code in it. Remeber to reference the 2005 report execution service and also in the program settings include the path to your server. IE: ReportExecutionService = http://localhost/ReportServer/ReportExecution2005.asmx or whatever your server URL is at. Setup the public properties for printername (sharenames work fine), Number of copies and Report name. That is all there is to it. This code is REALLY expandable to add more options. Please remember to let me kow if you like this. Imports System ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beginner shader question - I'm missing something obvious

  Hello, all: I'm working on a simple space sim, and I'm trying to render a weapon shot using an HLSL shader. I haven't used a shader before, so I've read through a bunch of code samples, and picked up a couple of books, so I *think* I (kind of) understand what's going on with vertex and pixel shaders. The problem I'm having is that when I enable the vertex shader the mesh I'm rendering is drawn in black. If I disable the vertex shader (comment it out), the pixel shader outputs the color I expect. I've tried it with a mesh I created and with a mesh created via Mesh.Sphere with the same result. Here's the shader code (it's almost an exact copy of the simple pixel shader code from MDXInfo). As you can see, it's totally simple: uni ...Show All

• SQL Server Stop Processing on Key Errors AS 2000

  I'am using MS AS 2000. I have added to my fact table keys which are not included in my dimension tables. Then I process the dimensions and the cube. I fully processed the cube and used the default process options (Stop Processing on Key Errors; 0). But the cube processed without an error. The invalid records in the fact table are just ignored. Why Thanks for any reply, Michael is right, by default AS 2000 does inner joins between the fact table and all the dimension tables which will exclude your invalid fact records. You can setup AS 2000 not to do inner joins by optimizing the schema (look up "optimizing cube schemas" in Books on line) but your invalid fact records will still be ignored as AS 2000 has no means of ma ...Show All

• Gadgets Where's the "Add to Space" button

  Hi, I have uploaded my first web gadget, called A, onto the library. Everything worked fine. There's a bug in A. Then I edit A, upload a new zip file. A change to "pending approval". This morning, I logged in my gallery and I see 2 versions of A. The old A: with a bug in it, there are 2 buttons when I browse to it "Add to live" and "Add to space" The new A: there is only 1 button when I browse to it "Add to live". Where is the button "Add to space" in this case Is there any wrong step that I did during upload And the edit gadget functionality is not supposed to overwrite the old one (keep 2 version as I stated above) Thanks Bao Nguyen. This seems to be a common pr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Dot Net Interface for an Audio mixer?

  I've recently moved to Vista and and I have full duplex high definition audio on the new machine. Vista still has a similar GUI for the mixer but at least with the Analog devices drivers the only way to control input levels are to constantly go to the control Panel and adjust the input under sounds. It's not a great user interface. In looking at the mixer, I notice that old programs such as Goldwave and my old vb6 WMP mp3 player, when running both show up in the vista mixer presumably as audio sources. I'm trying to understand where to begin with an integrated audio level mixer. Is this done at the driver level Is there an API for it I've researched this on the net before and I don't think I've found an answer. I've no idea ...Show All
