• SQL Server Open url in a new window

  hi, I got a problem with reporting services 2005. I have to create a link activated by clicking on an image. In the image navigation properties I inserted the link in "jump to url"  but the problem is that no new window is opened, the url is opened in the initial report page. I tried to use jscript this way: javascript:window.open("myurl","", "scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600,left=0,top=0"); but in this case the url opens in a new window but a blank page is shown in the report page. How can I solve this problem and open the url in a new window without changing the report page Thanks in advance and sorry for my english = "javascript:void window.open('http://yoururl&rs:Comm ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to design Animated(sliding,pop up, shaded windows etc) user interface which we see today in many top applications.

  How to design Animated(sliding,pop up, shaded windows etc) user interface which we see today in many top applications.As in my applications i want to do some high graphic user interface like web templates but mean while I don't want any slowness or jerks. Can you suggest any advance book or any reference which focuses on " ADVANCE USER INTERFACE DESIGN THROUGH VISUAL BASIC.NET 2005 ". Thanks I've done lots of my own custom user interfaces programicly, but I suggest just sticking with the Windows Classic Style. It is far the best choice I think. The problem with custom UI, is for example if you have a background bitmap image, and set it to "Stretch" the application flickers when you resi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to create .ISO image file

  I want to create an .ISO file instead of burning an image to disc.  These are the steps I'm assuming I should take: CoCreateInstance to obtain an IFileSystemImage object Add files/folders to the image using IFsiDirectoryItem and IFsiFileItem Call IFileSystemImage::CreateResultImage to obtain an IFileSystemImageResult object Call IFileSystemImageResult::get_ImageStream to obtain an IStream object Call ::SHCreateStreamOnFile to create the new .ISO file, and obtain a second IStream object Use IStream::CopyTo to copy data from the stream obtained in step 4 to the stream obtained in step 5 Are there any problems with these steps   Any potential pitfalls I should be aware of   The Win32 docum ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Draw() called before Update()

  I noticed Game.Draw() is being called before Game.Update(), which doesn't (seem to) make sense. Is there any suggested way of dealing with this If Update() is supposed to, umm, update the state of the application to a certain local time, before the first Draw() there is no state ready to be painted to speak of. We're taking a look at this to see if it's something we want to guarantee or not. Without looking at the code, I would guess this is due to WM_PAINT being called when we show the window and we explicitly call Draw for this message so that your game won't exhibit the "ghosting" that can occur when you drag or resize your window, etc. As others have mentioned, it's a good idea to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Delete team project and remove from SCE?

  I deleted two team projects one got removed from SCE and one didn't How do I get rid of the one that didn't and why did one get removed and not the other I understand there is some sort of bug related to this but why one and not the other and there must be a way to get rid of that one that is left right If not do we now know if this is fixed in SP1 I assume you've got "show deleted items" turned off Regardless, there's an SCE bug that shows deleted team projects. I don't remember the details of the repro but I know there was no easy way out once it happened. It's not something likely to be fixed before Orcas. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to programatically add a new resx file

  Hi there, Can someone shed any light on how to add a new "resx" file to a project or any other file for that matter. I think "ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate()" may be the right method ( ) but if so, how do you determine the name of the project template to pass. Thanks very much. Templates are stored in several directories of the VS installation. For example, "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic\1033\". To locate the base folder for templates you can use Solution.ProjectItemsTemplatePath(projectKind). If you want to use an existing file rather than a template, you can use the other AddFromFile / AddFromFileCopy methods. ...Show All

• Visual C# Compatibility Mode for SQLServer--please interprete error msg

  "dateTimed" is not a recognized table hints option. If it is intended as a parameter to a table-valued function, ensure that your database compatibility mode is set to 90. I am not quite sure if the error msg refers to my .NET C# app (client side) or SQL Server side. Anyhow I have no idea how this compatibility mode can be assured. I am trying to download some records from SQL Server to this app. I have done it before but I think the System.DateTime Type here is my first experience. So far it has been System.String only it seems. I mostly upload stuff in there and I've never had this problem before with any type including DateTime. Please, help. Thanks. Thank you very much Dan.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Check this out: Vista simulated by WPF/E!

  Wow! Vista simulated online, using WPF/E. http://www.vista.si It is in some strange (european ) language, but you can click and watch... there is everything, windows, movable icons, videos, texts, even some form of a contest Javascript are also heavily used in the WPF/E. It's the only way to control wpf/e's object. We use DOM to control our DHTML object like as div, input, image, and use js to change the css. Now we use js to change xaml as the same of html+CSS, and use WPF/EOM like DOM to control the object. It is also a lot of work to do in WPF/E. We just get a strong UI support from WPF/E. The one which is I most wanted is WPF/E can support to IFRAME, so that I can use HTML parts like GOOGLE MAP in ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Event cannot be delivered - State dependency

  Hi together, I am currently using the workflow foundation for creating a state machine based workflow. Now I have defined several states (with multiple events and transitions). My problem is, how can I avoid the problem if an event occurs which doesn't belong to the current state of the workflow -> Then I always get the "Event.... cannot be delivered". How can I handle such events Thanks in advance, Franz You can either add an EventDriven to the root StateMachineWorkflow that handles the event or your host will need to catch the EventDeliveryFailedException. If however your state is in the process of transitioning when the event is raised you can set the WaitForIdle flag to true on the Exte ...Show All
