• Visual Basic 1st time lucky, 2nd time's good, 3 times through and it crashes.

  I have a program that uses a subroutine that has an output file called temp.csv. It also has a sub that reads the output file using a streamreader, then closes the streamreader, I've watched it, and it always closes, even when I get an error. Every time through it deletes the temp file because in the output sub, it appends to the output file otherwise. When I run the program, and the program tries to delete the temp file, no problems, second time, no problems, third time, I get the another process is using this file... exception. Like I said, the streamreader is closed by this point every time, I've watched it. Any thoughts I've gotten burned by this one several times in the past. It really ticked me off ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add connection wizard fails with Access database

  I have the RTM version installed. I am quite puzzled at this wizard. It works fine with SqlClient. But for Access databases, this wizard completely fails. In this wizard, I only have one option to do - setting the ConnectionString. I set it to Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\path\abc.mdb, which works fine in my code. But when I click OK, it complains: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0. --------------------------- OK   --------------------------- And more, the Advanced button is disabled and the dialog does have the same funtionalities as described in MSDN ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS ...Show All

• SQL Server HELP!!! Can not restore database from only back up I have

  I had to transfer my database from one server to another. Both are running SQL 2000. I backed the database up and moved it to the new server however when I try to do a restore I get the following message: The media set for database "xxx' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. I did some searching and found a couple of posts that mentioned something about the back up including 2 files. My problem is that the machine I backed this up from crashed when it was shut down and would not reboot so all of the data and the original database do not exist. Is there any hope of restoring this database. It is pretty critical. Thanks, Melissa :-) Wow. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How best to learn 3D basics?

  I've really enjoyed learning the 2D stuff, and have lots of synchronized moving, rotating and resizing pictures of stick monkeys. None of this post is a complaint to the XNA team which I think has done a great job. Unfortunately, coming from a C# but not a 3d graphics background, it's exceedingly difficult to figure out how to get simple things to work in 3d. I wasn't able to get the simple cube up and running (it was plain black) until reading a helpful forum post. I was baffled for a long time by the huge list of vertices. It took me a while to figure out that you just take the first 3 vertices and make a triangle out of that, then you take the next 3 and make a triangle out of that, etc. But it's still confusing--for example (not the ...Show All
