• Visual Basic embedded DOS window

  Hi, I was wondering how can I embed a dos window in vb.net What I am trying to do is to have a dos window embedded into a form so that I can have someone fill in a textbox and then I can take what is in the textbox and run it as if I had typed it in from the command line. What I did was I ran it through the shell command and displayed its output on the screen. That works but there is one issue; It returns the whole output when the command has ended but what I need is it to display its output as the command is run, as it does when its ran in the dos prompt. is this possible thanks I know why your getting that, but I have no idea how to explain it in the proper terms, so bear with me here.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managers vs Services vs Components

  Hi All I'll start by saying that I'm really enthused by XNA and think that it's a *wonderful* thing. My $99 is on its way (OK, not quite yet). But is anyone else confused by XNA's use of the terms Manager, Service and Component I've done a little digging around before creating this post and can't see anything definitive on what these terms actually mean. Here's my attempt: Service: a singleton-type object, potentially useful to many objects within a game and accessible through the singleton Game object. The singleton Game object is typically passed to the constructor of any interested object and that object typically holds a reference to Game. Manager: an object used to manage the lifetime of other objects (e.g. ContentManager ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Interesting Behavior

  Here's some interesting behavior. Has anybody experienced this I have a dll in the bin directory of a web site. The site is under source control. The dll does not have an icon next to it indicating that it is under source control (the little lock). In source control explorer I can browse to the source control file location ($/path/to/file/dll) and it exists there. I have the latest version, there are no pending changes. Renaming the dll will display an icon (checkmark in this case) and the source control explorer will indicate the the pending change is 'lock, rename'. Renaming it back to its original name will remove the icon (just a blank space) and the source control explorer will indicate the pending change is 'lock'. I wou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Real Time Math Calculations

  How's it going everyone I am working on a piece of software that will allow a user to do some complex math very easily. To make a long story short, I need the software to make the calculations in real time instead of displaying the results after a button is clicked. Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to do this Thanks, Brian This will let them use negative numbers: Public Class Form1 Private Sub TextBox1and2_KeyPress( ByVal sender As Object , _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) _ Handles TextBox1.KeyPress, TextBox2.KeyPress Dim tb As TextBox = CType (sender, TextBox) If Char .ToString(e.KeyChar) = "-" AndAl ...Show All

Anyone have a reason for this behavior or a real fix Surely someone out there has been trying to test their WPF app. ...Show All

• SQL Server Comparing strings in MDX

  Hello gurus, Is there an equivalent to the TSQL LIKE '%mystring%' function in MDX e.g. to filter a Product dimension to only those products containing 'IPOD' or whatever Thanks Not in straight MDX, but it is possible to use stored procedure to do that. There is a open source project to build library of sprocs that few of us participate, and it has the implementation of Like function.

• SQL Server WSUS reconstruct the environment

  Hi All Im a new comer to the site and wsus. I inherited a functional wsus server it was great but due to a demand for improved reporting features I attempted to install the Wsus rollup reporting sample. Im uncertain as to how but I hashed up the installation to the extent that it corrupted the MSDE installation. It was suggested I remove wsus and reinstall. At this point I made another error. I was told that WSUS 3 had improved reporting features (and indeed it does, its infinitely better in that respect) so I signed up with Microsoft and downloaded the installation file. WSUS 3 uses SQL 2005 for Windows so my back up of the MDF & log files were rendered useless. I have since removed WSUS 3 reinstalled a fresh copy of WSUS Sp1 and run ...Show All
