• Windows Forms ClickOnce doens't install application locally

  Hello ! I have an Winforms application that uses a component DLL and specific configuration by mean of app.config file. When I used ClickOnce to install the application on a client computer, a start menu item was added, but it seems that created shortcut points to the internet site where the installation resides. The application wasn't installed locally. I need to customize the app.config file to accomodate to client environment, but if the application is launched remotely, I cannot do that. Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Jaime Hi Lama, Sorry I might have misunderstood. I thought it never installed in your PC. Yes the application when it installed it always stores it under local setting under app and ...Show All

• Windows Forms SelectedIndexChanged - possible bug

  i have a Combobox control set with the DropDownStyle as 'DropDownList'. the SelectedIndexChanged event is firing even if I reselect the same item from the dropdownlist. surely this is not right as the index here has not changed so am i forced to remember the previous selection in order to do a comparison every time or am i missing something good point about the event name. it's also reproducible with SelectionChangeCommitted event of combobox. i think it has something to do with the way combobox handles its selection. i believe it reverts back to index 0 to the current selection on every selection internally. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Application loses focus when closing a Form - but only on one Form it happens...

  Hi all, I have this strange problem/issue that I have had bothering me for a while now. I have an application where the users browses through Forms to perform various bits of functionality, and then closes the form to return back to the previous form (the Form from which it was openned), and the Focus is right back with the Form that openned the closed Form (if you know what I mean :)). Now this all works fine in my application apart from in one place, where when the called Form is closed, the calling form (or my Application even) doesn't get focus back until the 2nd tap on the application with the pen. The Windows start button and Input control on the MainMenu are focused and can be activated from the first click on them, but not my appli ...Show All

• SQL Server displaying Params in Report

  Hi... I am trying to display a parameter in my report.. the parameter can have up to 5 chocies... if all 5 are checked I want to display all 5.. I know how to trick it and use: Parameters!Country.Value(0)&Parameters!Country.Value(1) etc Is there a way to do this that I dont have to have from (0) to (5).. another thing... when you only choose 2 of the 5 params the rest show errors.. (#Error) Thanks for help... and Happy Reporting !! Hey....I'm trying to do the same thing.

Of course, you can change the delimeter to anything you want, but I'm still wo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. bounding boxes

  I am having trouble with bounding boxes. I am not sure if I created it right or if I am using the intersect lines properly. I started programming with turing where I just used the variables coordinates of the pictures to detect intersection. This is what i have so far. BoundingBox car = new BoundingBox ( new Vector3 (spritePosition2.X, spritePosition2.Y, 0), new Vector3 (myTexture2.Width, myTexture2.Height, 0)); BoundingBox incoming = new BoundingBox ( new Vector3 (spritePosition10.X, spritePosition10.Y, 0), new Vector3 (myTexture1.Width, myTexture1.Height, 0)); if (car.Intersects (incoming) == true ) { spriteSpeed2 = -spriteSpeed2; } See changes in red that should help: Boundi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Proprietary FBX format

  Good day! According to an Autodesk engineer I communicated with today, "The ascii version of the FBX file format isn't publicly documented and subject to change." I think that begs the following question: why would we want to use a format that isn't open-spec, subject to change, and proprietary to a single company (Autodesk) What attraction does FBX have given its highly proprietary format To preempt a conversation about the merits of the build content pipeline, I might add that there are some companies that have no intention of using the content pipeline to avoid the embrace, extend, destroy philosophy which manifests as vendor lock-in. So to return to the prior question-- what is the sell for FBX if it is proprietary, cl ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you execute a DTS on a remote server in Remote (not local) environment?

  2 different servers.  " Server_A " has report data but no Excel installed (corporate IT requirement). " Server_B " has Excel (containing pivot pointing to Server_A ) but no data. SQL Server 2K on Windows Server 2003 Ent Ed ( Server_A ) and XP pro ( Server_B ). I want to explicitly trigger a daily refresh of Excel on Server_B when Server_A data has been refreshed.  Remember, I cannot directly refresh Excel on Server_B from Server_A , because Server_A does not have Excel installed on it. I have created a DTS on Server_B that refreshes the Excel successfully when run locally.  Problem arises when I try to execute this DTS remotely from Server_A ... it tries to use a copy of Excel that's local to Server_A ...Show All

• .NET Development Going crazy updating database

  I'm about to go crazy about this. I have a database with a couple of tables. I have inserted all tables into a dataset.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where can I find resources or samples to configure a client and service properly?

  Here is what I've done: 1. I created a service using VS. 2. The service endpoint is configured to communicate using wsHttpBinding 3. The service is hosted in a windows service 3. Created a client 4. Added the service reference using VS 5. After testing, both service and client work fine on the same machine 6. Move the service to a remote machine (out of LAN) 7. Added a service reference to that endpoint at the remote machine in the client application 8. The client is not able to connect to the service, however, I was able to get the test page and wsdl.
