• Visual C# is MicroSoft.Net is plate form Independent

  hello how are you i have the views 1). .NET Framework from Microsoft can only be used in Windows. If you want to used .NET Framework in Linux, then you must go to Mono Project. 2).

• Visual Basic Generate form dynamically (for multiple records)

  I have a form where i add user info (GroupID and ProjectID). There can be more then one coders inside a group so i need multiple records against a groupID can it happen that i tell the form about the number of coders and it can create (dynamically) the textfields etc required to make so many enteries if my question is not clear please let me know, i shall try to elaborate as much as i can. thanx Consider using a UserControl that has all the controls to display one record.

• SQL Server Performance problem: 2000 vs. 2005

  I copied a 2000 database onto 2005 on another box. Running the exact same SELECT query, with 7 tables joined, is running in less than 2 minutes on 2000 and almost 3 hours on 2005. The 2005 box is "bigger and better". I've compared the sp_configure output. There are differences in max worker threads, cost threshold for parallelism, and priority boost. I don't think any one of these is significant. I checked the server properties and the database properties and, again, I did not see what I would consider any significant differences. The 2005 instance has 4GB memory, as opposed to 2GB, but not using that much. In fact, the Total Server Memory (KB) for the instance indicates around 1,230,000 for some reason. We need to reso ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Game Programming

  Hello, I'm 13 years old and me and a few of my friends are going to try creating a video game. Since I knew the most about computers and are very good with them, everoyone decided that I should be in charge of programming. I know of a couple other kids in my school I could ask to help with programming, but I need to ask a few questions first, if it isn't too much trouble. 1) I know that C# and Visual Basic would be the best languages to start with. I already have some knowledge with Basic. My 1st question is is C# as good as C++ for 3-D and Direct X Game programming 2) I have a 2 year old Dell Dimension 2350 at home with a 50 Gig hard drive, 30 Gig to Windows 20 to Linux, 500 Meg ram, and an Intel pentium 4 processor.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom pushpin images not showing up in 3D mode

  Hello All, Each pushpin I map has a custom image and that image shows up fine in 2D mode but is replaced with an orange thumbtack or something in 3D mode. Has enyone seen this before is there a solution TIA Andrew You need to use a full path, not a relative path for your image URI.  The 3D control doesn't know the base URI to add to relative paths.  This should be documented in the SDK. Also, the 3D control does not have access to any local files (security restriction). ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to create a Service appliaction for windows mobile 5.0 smartphone

  I have a application in for Windows Mobile 5.0 pocket PC. Now I have to Make it new one for Smart Phone From Client I have this feedback The essential difference between Pocket PC and SmartPhone is that instead of having the application implemented as a DLL (as with Pocket PC) it must be implemented as a service in SmartPhone . In the Pocket PC the application was implemented as a Today screen plug-in DLL; under that Operating System a Today screen plug-in is always available and running. In SmartPhone, the Home screen plug-ins work differently than the Today screen plug-ins; they're not always available in memory.

I am wondering if it is possible to set a the culture for each form separately My goal is that two separate form can run on two different languages at a time Thanks What sort of culture difference are you looking for You mention CurrentThread.CurrentCulture, that's only for parsing and formatting. If you're looking for localized text you'll want to be sure to use CurrentThread.Current UI Culture. CurrentUICulture is used by the Resource Manager to decide what language text to load from the resources for the form. ...Show All
