• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA doomed?

  XNA may be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I don't see it getting a lot of support until you make a simple web page that explains what features the XNA framework supports and why I would want to use it. I'm not going to download the thing just to figure out what it is. You might also check the FAQ . I've seen videos of XNA being talked about on major news networks, there's an XNA GSE ad in one of my son's issues of Boy's Life, it's been talked about in gaming magazines... It's far from doomed. Once the Dream-Build-Play competition gets into swing (hint, hint guys! ) it's going to explode I think. ...Show All

• SQL Server Get the variable from Execute Process Task to C#

  Hi! I need help with some C# code. I have build a SSIS package with an Execute Process Task.

How do I get the variable in my C# code Thanks Carl My intention was have to have the argument to jump to a special method in the code. The variable will have information about witch rows in the table the code shall read in and treat. In any case, can I put a dynamic variable in the argument Carl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Extender provider and type converter

  Hi: I have a problem with the combination in the title of this thread. Background is: - I have a form with multiple controls. All / most of these controls manipulate properties of a certain type of classes - let's call them entities. For example, an entity class has a "price" property, I have a control on the form that maps to that property's value. - to do that, I added an extender to my form that provides a "PropertyMap" property to all of the controls on the form. - I have a base entity class and a lot of inheritors. - On the form I added an "EntityType" property with a type converter. This allows me at design time to build a list of all the entity types in my application and show them as a ...Show All

• Visual J# COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used exception within threads

  Hi, We are having code in which we start a new thread and set it as STA. This new thread initializes IHTMLWindow2 object and then starts another thread. But, in that second thread if we try to access the IHTMLWindow2 which is initialized in the first thread we are getting this exception "COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used". If we do not set the first thread to STA, we coudn't access the windows in that thread itself, so it needs to be in STA. So how can we access the window initialized in the first thread Please give any suggestions. I am giving the code here.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I use the System.Net namespace?

  I'm making a Client Server application from a book that uses the System.Net.Sockets namespace and when I compiled it from the command line using csc with no options it compiled fine, but when I try to compile with Visual C# .NET 2005 Express edition it can't find the System.Net.Sockets namespace and I tried adding the reference but I can't find it. Can someone explain the situation Thanks in advance. A reference to System.dll is enough to get access to the System.Net.Sockets classes. Perhaps you need to add this to the top of your source code file: using System.Net.Sockets; ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with Debug Output

  I recently updated my virus application and have noticed that (whether it's running or not) the virus program will continually output DLL load/unload messages to my Debug Output window, which makes testing a huge pain. The messages are as follows: 'LogCopy.exe': Loaded 'C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Internet Security 2007\TMAS_OE\TMAS_OEHook.dll', No symbols loaded. 'LogCopy.exe': Unloaded 'C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\Internet Security 2007\TMAS_OE\TMAS_OEHook.dll' I'm using MS Visual C/C++ 2003 and am building a .NET Windows Forms application. I've written the software vendor about this problem, but was wondering if there's a way to filter out the messages in the Debug window itself Hi Dave, The ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New to creating reports

  Hello, We've decided to make a custom process template for our teams using Team System, and in it we need a couple of custom reports. I'm in charge of it, and I have absolutely no experience with Report Server and MDX. I've looked around for some sort of beginner's guide to creating reports, but haven't found anything suitable. So, can anyone direct me to a comprehensive guide to creating reports Or, if someone can help on the specific report I'm having problems with: We want a report that includes all the Requirement work items that are not linked to a task work item. Using the Report Builder, I can get all the requirements, and I can get all the requirements that are linked to a task. But I can't seem to be able to get all ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't run file on other comp, what gives?

  So i codded a program in Visual Basic 2005 when they told me it would be better in C++ because i will not have to have the user to require .NET Framework so i created it in C++ and now when i try to open it in my Virtual PC which has a freshly install xp installion with no updates or framework i get it will not open it and says something about the configuration is incorrect. I used Panels, WMP, Web Browser, Drop-down box, and Linkboxes in the this program. What can i do to fix this Panels WebBrowser This sounds like you did a Windows Forms Application in C++. This still needs the .NET Framework. You need a Win32 Project or MFC Application to not have a dependency on .NET Framework. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Page Viewer Web Part Problem

  I am unable to display files in the Page Viewer Web Part as the MS documentation says I can. When I select "File" from the Web Parts properties, no Browse button appears (as the documentation says it should) and if I try to enter the path to the file manually, the system always tells me it is invalid. Is this working for anyone else out there If so, please tell me what I am doing wrong. I am running WSS 3.0. Please note, I can display a web page in the Page Viewer Web Part without any problems, so I know that aspect of it works. There's no "Browse" button; you just enter the URL of the file in the "Link" text box. Remember that you have to enter an address that will be accessible by the end user ...Show All

• .NET Development C# App <> Managed C++ Lib : Bug with global unmanaged functions?

  Hi, I'm running VCS Express and VCPP Express. I have the following code in a DLL project in VCPP: namespace pm_managed { public ref class ManagedPortMIDI{ public : int Pm_Initialize(){ ::Pm_Initialize(); return 0; } }; } Where ::Pm_Initialize() is a global function defined in an unmanaged .LIB file. This compiles no worries to give me a managed DLL (and also a manifest file). Then in VCSE I add a reference to this DLL (which I have placed in the build directory of the C# App) and access the stuff inside like this: ManagedPortMIDI mpm = new ManagedPortMIDI (); int err = mpm.Pm_Initialize(); I know this is working OK so far, because I get intellitype prompts showing me the class and its ...Show All

  Good day, I've been seeing this error since day one, using the B3R... it's really more of an annoyance than a real issue (I believe). However, it has started appearing in the build view so the annoyance has escalated :( any help towards resolving this would be appreciated...
