• Windows Forms WinForms InterOp

  Hello All, I am developing an interop application using MFC and WinForms. I have devloped a user control in C# using Windows Forms. This control contains a TreeView with a context menu. One of the choices in the context menu opens a dialog created using a Form class. The problem appears when this dialog opens, leaving a grey area in the TreeView control area where the menu has been drawn. It seems like the TreeView control is missing a repaint message. The grey area disappears when the TreeView is forced to be redrawn. This problem appears only when the user control is placed in a MFC container using either of the classes CWinFormsControl or CWinFormsDialog. It works perfectly when the user control is placed in a WinForms form execut ...Show All

• Architecture O/R Mapping

  O/R mapping is quite interesting.  I would like to post this question for discussion. I have the following classes: Employee, FullTimeStaff, PartTimeStaff, etc.  FullTimeStaff and PartTimeStaff have many attributes and behaviors in common and also many other unique attributes and behaviors.  So, FullTimeStaff inherits from Employee and PartTimeStaff also inherits from Employee. Do you think it is good to map both FullTimeStaff and PartTimeStaff to a single table called Employee (the table contains an extra field to identity whether he is full time or part time) in the database Hi, It's good in case you will not get new types for example offshoreStaff ! For the sake of extensibility, you just can create a ne ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Destructible terrain 2D

  Greetings, For lerning XNA i figured why not make a Space Invaders clone in 2D. But something escaped me, being the novice i am. How do i make the shields destroyable, as far i can se it makes no sense to make each shield one sprite. So my question is how do i build these do i build them from 1000 spirtes the size of one pixel. or do i make one sprite and overlay the destruction in some way. I dont know how to do this, anyone care to share ideas br Lasse Knudsen Jim Perry wrote: If you want to stay try to the original I don't think you'll need 4000 pixels for each shield. As Shril said, you could do it without much of a performance loss. Maybe a sprite ...Show All

• Visual Studio documentation in spanish with NDoc

  I need to generate documentation in spanish. How can I change the lenguage I'm using VS2005 in spanish and framework 1.1 in spanish too. I know NDoc had a language option that let you specify to which language the SDK content would point but I don't think there were any options to localize the help file table of content, section titles, etc. You can use Sandcastle, the documentation tool from Microsoft, in combination with the Sandcastle Help File Builder to create help files with those items localized into Spanish, French, Italian, or German. The actual XML comments would have to be written in Spanish, etc by you or a translator of course as with NDoc. You can download Sandcastle here: http://www.m ...Show All

• Visual Basic Operation must use an updatable query

  I have an app that shares a mdb in a shared folder at the windows server 2003. After instalation i get this message... Operation must use an updatable query I have checked everything and even given total control to authenticated users but yet got the same error. I works fine on other servers with the same deployment. Any help please Jorge Laines There are several things to look into for an access database. 1) Have you given the users rights to the mdf file or the folder Access requires a second log file to be dynamically created and destroyed when you open it. If you don't have create and remove rights on the folder, it might not work properly. 2) Make sure your table data is coming from a single table with no ag ...Show All

• Windows Forms Runtime-only properties?

  Exactly how do I create a property for a class (specifically an inherited class from Textbox) that is runtime-only i.e. it doesn't show up in the properties grid during design-time Since the get requires use of other runtime-only properties (such as SelectionStart) and really only applies during runtime (it get's the line number that the carret is on) I know there must be some way of doing it.
