• Windows Forms difference between .net 1.0 splitter and .net 2.0 splittercontainer

  What is the difference between .net 1.0 splitter and .net 2.0 splittercontainer controls Is there any functionality added Thanks in advance Srinivas Functionality is much the same, there is not much a splitter needs/can do. But the new SplitterContainer is much more easier to use. It's not a splitter only, it also contains the 2 "splitted" panels so you just drag it to a form and then place your controls in each of the 2 panels. With the old Splitter you need to drag one control, dock it, drag the splitter, dock it properly and finally drag the second control. And this would not be such a big deal but try changing the splitter from horizontal to vertical or changing one of the "splitted&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving data to and from SQL Server 2005, with manipulation in C#

  Hi I am wishing to * take a table of data into a C# CLR procedure and store it in an array * take a second table of data into this procedure row by row, and return a row (into a third table) for each row (and this returned row is based on the data in the array and the data in this row). I am new to CLR programming, and pulling my hair out at the moment. I’m sure that what I’m trying to do is simple, but I am not making any progress with the on-line help and error messages L . I have now described what I am trying to do in more detail, firstly in English, and then in a T-SQL implementation that works (for this simple example). I’m looking for the C# CLR code to be returned – containing preferably two parts: ...Show All

• Smart Device Development short alignment issue

  I'm seeing something very weird when compiling this code for an ARMV4i Smartphone target and running it on a smartphone emulator: INT foo(UINT16 *srcPtr) { short data; data = *(srcPtr+1); switch (*srcPtr) {... } If the memory pointed to by srcPtr contains: 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 data is set to 0x88776655 (endianism isn't the issue, but 32 instead of 16 bits is - it should be 0x4433) *srcPtr is evaluated as 0x44332211, again 32 instead of 16 bits, it should be 0x2211. Any ideas Cheers, Ken I can't get VS2005 to create Smart Device projects, so I'm going to play blind here. With the following code, does the address for srcPtr and dataPtr differ by two bytes s ...Show All

• SQL Server Question for designing a SQL Job Admin

  I want to design a login named "JobAdmin" who can add/modify/delete any SQL Agent Jobs but can't access my "db1" database. The jobs would execute some stored procedures in db1, and it could be a user "db1dbo" with db_owner role in db1 to execute the stored procedures. How could I let JobAdmin impersonate db1dbo to run these jobs Thanks in advance. i don't think this is possible and honestly, to me it does not make sense also. B'coz the JobAdmin is already a user of MSDB. There is no harm in creating a sp as i told. If a login is not a user of a db then i don't think this Execute As also help you. Can u tell me is there any particular reason to do so Madhu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debugging D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR

  Hi, How do I debug my rendering loop when IDirect3DDevice9::Present returns D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR I am interested in finding out which API function call contributes to this error. I have read the SDK documentation about emptying the command buffer. Since the buffer flushing action takes place after the API function call returns, I don't think I can use the HRESULT return value of the API function call. From the SDK documentation, I saw several API function that can empty the command buffer. Seems like I can use ValidateDevice only to query the driver state after texture blending operation only. I cannot find any query type to find out if the command buffer contains any offensive commands. I can surround each rendering API function li ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Print Previewing the Form

  I did some research on Print and Printpreview for my form. They did work, sort of. It printes a blank page or in the preview it says: 'Document does not contain any pages.'

• SQL Server Access with an SQL Server backend.

  My question is this: "Does anyone know where to set up the connectivity for an access database to store data on an Sql Server " It was the answer, but I have tried that. I cannot get at the data source on the server. We have tight security here, that maybe the problem. Is there a way I can convince the Network Engineer to allow this It is the only way I can get something like this to work properly. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Visual Studio 2005 - How to wire-up event handlers for WPF controls?

  Normally, double clicking on something in the design view creates the event handler... or you can click on the event button in the properties tab and add it. Is this functionality coming soon... or is the paradigm changing Thanks. Yes, the WPF Designer "Cider" alias would be more appropriate... I've been told the functionality will be coming in VS "Orcas", until then here is the best way I've found: Adding Event Handlers in VS for WPF Thanks, Rob Relyea Program Manager, WPF Team http://rrelyea.spaces.live.com ...Show All

• Windows Forms Navigating through pictures on a form?

  I am programming with C# in Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create a form that will display a single image from a set of 5 pictures. Then use previous and next buttons to navigate forwards and backwards through that set of pictures displaying each one. I have created a 2nd form which when loads up displays the first picture using the code :- pictureBox1.Image = Image .FromFile( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\\pics\\pic1.gif" ); I know that I need to declare and initialise an array to hold all the images in and then use a for loop to display them but I am having trouble working out how to do this as I am not an experienced programmer. If anyone could help me out with this it would be much appreciated! ...Show All
