• Visual Studio Express Editions Asynchronous Calls

  hello fellow programmers, i was just having some problems on how to make an asynchronous call. well, can someone show me a very simple program thats uses asynchronous calls thanks in advance! Can you be a little more specific Let me see if I have some code examples. Also HttpWebRequest has examples of Asychronous use in the Help Files. I fear my better asynch examples won't be real different from what you find in help. Many things are asynch like events and timer tick handlers which is also an event. The Documentcompleted event in the WebBrowser is asynch. ...Show All

• SQL Server Access database synchroniser fails with 'incorrect format or content'

  I've installed ADS on a windows mobile 5.0 device and am trying to run the sample Wizard application. It connects to the test database on the device OK, but fails to connect to the database on the desktop with the error: "The HTTP request failed due to incorrect format or content.

• Visual C# changing table names

  I have a bound dataset, with tables (2000,2001,2002,2003 etc). all these tables are the same, just different names. Because these names will change over time I want to be able to add them within the program. If I design the form around the table 2000, can I change it to display the information from table 2003. The table 2000 would have a tableadapter and bindingsource. If this is possible can anyone show me in c#. Thanks in advance. The tables are for transactions relative to the fiscal year, we may need to look at any given year (current or past), doing it this way keeps the file to a minimum, as 80% of the time we will look at the current year. I dont want to have to change ...Show All

• Visual C++ convert vc++ 2003 to delphi6

  hello is there any tools hat convert a project from convert vc++ 2003 to delphi 6 Good analogy. :)  Converting C++ to any other language is simply intractible. The most ideal situation is that the C++ code is wrapped as COM objects--i know Delphi consumes these.  There's the possibillity that Delphi consumes DLL's.  Finally, check to see if Delphi can consume obj's and lib's created by Visual C++.  Delphi documentation is your friend on this one. :) Brian   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to get content of viewbox to scroll.

  I have a grid in a viewbox that has a stackpanel in it. I like the idea of having the scaleable UI but when I add too many elements vertically in my stackpanel, I can never see them. If I use a scrollviewer then I don't get the benefit of having my app resize with the viewbox. i'm also interested about this question... if someone know how to get content of viewbox to scoll... thx!! ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multimedia API MPU-401 Reset Problem

  I have used the Win32 Multimedia API for many years for MIDI programming and have always returned to it despite the supposed charms of DirectX etc. However so far as I know there is no way to force a MIDI hardware device reset using the API. Does anyone have a workaround for this - I used to do it very simply in 8086 assembler by sending FF to the MPU-401 command port 330H. Thanks for any help. Please direct this question to the multimedia newsgroup. This forum deals with the VS 2005 GUI and libraries, including configuration issues, and not the use of the libraries as such. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.win32.programmer.mmedia&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF , BPEL , BP workflows

  Hello, Does WWF support the BPEL Standard dor workflow. My point of view is that it 's difficult or complex to build Business Process with WWF. It's not adpted for this issue.

Yes WWF support the BPEL standard - you need to install BPEL extension for WF for working in WF. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. BoundingBox for Models

  Hi, I'm very much used to using Geometry.ComputeBoundingBox() from MDX 1.1 and am wondering where the equivalent in XNA is. My problem at the moment is that my models are having their centres placed at Y coordinate 0, so half is above ground and half is below ground. My solution has always been to compute the bounding box and simply raise the mesh by the amount that the min vertex is below the ground. (So minVertex.Y = 0). The BoundingBox has a constructor that takes a List of Vector3s, but this would presumably mean iterating over every ModelMesh in a Model, reading out the Vertex data from the VertexBuffer and extracting the x,y,z values for each vertex... this seems rather long winded I've seen a lot of people talking about ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Design Pattern

  Does anyone have a design pattern for creating a workflow that allows passing properties from one activity to another. It seems pointless having a workflow where custom activites cannot store a property at run-time for another activity to use at run-time because of activity cloning. I am trying to build a IVR workflow using Windows WF. One of the activites I created plays a wav file to the caller and waits for a response. Once a response is received the activity is closed and the response is stored in a property. The next activity needs to know what this response is in order to excecute. This next activity may be in another state, or within a while loop activity or ifelse activity etc... I do not want to have to store these acti ...Show All
