• Windows Forms Need help on way of storing Data - Any advice would rock.

  I'm new to Client side application development so my mind sometimes still works it's way back to ASP.NET development. I'm desiging a client application to help our users that user our website do some very advanced work that they cannot do on our current website until we start fully working with Web 2.0. Users can download objects called packages. In raw SQL Rows, a package will have over 8000 rows of data per package. A user might be working on 1-10 packages at any given time. I need a way to store the Data in a Package onto a clients computer. XML is the best way for me to do this. I've designed the XML format I need, and I've stripped out a lot of crap I don't need. Each Package has it's own XML file, this way 1 file will not get huge. I ...Show All

• Smart Device Development RFID with Keyboardwedge

  Hi, I have a Ipaq with rfid reader. When I am in notepad/word i can press a hardwarebutton and the id of the rfid tag will be entered by the keyboardwedge. So I thought oke lets do that in a c#program :) It works when i have a textbox with focus. My problem is that i dont have a textbox on the form and i dont want to put one because an user isnt allowed to see the id. I used the keypreview = true and a key_down event. When I scan the event is triggered but only once and i get a keycode=none . Does anybody know how to solve this or any other easy way to create an 'automatic' keyboardwedge Grtz Annihil8 You said in your original post that it works if your form has a textbox with the focus, b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Indexed Vertices - (in)visibility through index flip?

  This is more a basic question and I currently lack the time to try it myself, so I hope that somebody can give me an answer to this: Considering you have a huge vertex buffer and index buffer that you blast to a shader, forming e.g. 100.000 primitives. Now I would like to hide a bunch of known primitives completly and I know that they form a fully enclosed form like a pyramid or a cube. Extracting them from the buffer would of course be an expensive operation as I would have to rebuild the buffers. But would it work if I just go ahead and flip the indexes in the index buffer for each triangle, e.g. the first and the second from each From my understanding the object would effectively become invisible (if the camera does not move inside t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Explorer's Send To

  Hi everyone, I'm currently working on a very importent project, and I have a problem. On the explorer, when you right click a file, on the context menu, you can choose the "Send To" submenu, and there there are options. What I want to do, is to use that option, and to "Send" a specific file to there. It's not always a folder to send to it, it's sometimes a printer driver. How can I do it Ofir. 1) You can't print from a RichTextBox control.. I've tried an MSDN sample app. that prints from it, but it scrambles all of the text and images, making a lot of mess... 2) I have a send to submenu item, but I don't know how to call it... 3) Do you know how to use wordpa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Needed IIS and NTFS Permissions

  Good day! Knowing me I've probably missed something, but after installing TFS the two admins (myself included) are the only ones who can connect. Being somewhat familiar with IIS and NTFS Permissions (actually just enough to be dangerous) we noticed that <machine-name>\Administrator, <machine-name>\IIS_WPG, and SYSTEM are the only users/groups who have have access to "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services" directory. Should a group like <domain>\Domain Users also have access If so, any idea at what level and why the install would not have set this for us Thanks! IIS_WPG should cover normal users as that's what the service account uses to access tha ...Show All

• Visual C# Printer.PaperSource

  Friends, I am trying to print using the "Multi Purpose" tray of my laser printer. The PrintDialog doesn't "remember" that I have selected it and always selects the bottom tray (using C# Express 2005).
