• Visual Basic Table Adapter Command Text VS 2005

  When adding a query to a table adapter using an existing stored procedure with the TableAdapter Query Configuration Wizard the commandtext is no longer generated correctly. This commandtext used to list all of the parameters when I would add a new query but now I get command text that looks like this.{ = CALL dbo.InsertReferral( , , , , , , , , )}.

• Windows Forms Auto generating buttons

  Hey All For a little project of mine, I need to creat buttons from either an ArrayList containing the names of what the buttons should be called or from or from a database table. Depending what was is easiest to understand/do. They all have to be in the same windows form, so that if the ArrayList contains 10 names then there should be generated 10 buttons on load, and if one of the names is removed from the ArrayList then the button should also be removed. Hope anyone will be able to help me. Thanks Anders Lykke System.Collections. IList buttonNames = new System.Collections.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Asynchrous streaming of all resources

  Hi everybody! I would like to load a really really huge world inside my game, but since it's not something procedual it would take quite a lot of memory, so i would like to be able to stream it from my disc by chunks (i don't want popping) but i don't know how to do this. Can somebody enlight me on that subject With the current XNA Content manager, that'll be hard, because the content manager doesn't release data after it's loaded. You have to unload everything in the manager to reclaim memory. Perhaps you could chunk you data into tiles, and use one content manager per tile, although this will lead to in-memory duplication of textures, meshes and effects that are re-used between tiles. In general, streaming isn't particularly har ...Show All

• .NET Development Running a Macro in a Password Protected Access Databse

  I have this problem that I can run the macro but since the database is protected it always prompts me for the the password. I cannot have the users have access to the database since this will make it possible for the data to be changed manually. The code I use is as follows Shell( "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Msaccess.exe DatabasePath /x JobCardPacks /pwd Password" ) I have checked the help in access and it says to use "/pwd" with the password. This still prompts for the password though. Please help Shot o lot. Works like a charm Automation is definitely better than the Shell command I used.

• Windows Forms MenuCommandsChanged not firing for all commands

  I am adding an instance of the MenuCommandService to my DesignSurface and attaching a delegate to its MenuCommandsChanged event. I would expect that when I select two or more controls in the designer, the event should be fired for commands such as AlignLeft, AlignRight, AlignToGrid, etc. since they should then be enabled. However, I only receive events for a small fraction of these (AlignLeft, CenterHorizontally). Using the MenuCommandsChangedEventArgs. ChangeType property, I ensured that all of the above commands are being added to the MenuCommandService. They just aren't notifying the service of their change. Does anyone have any suggestions to get the event fired for all relevant commands Could I be missing a service or adding the MCS ...Show All

• Visual Basic Serialport Class

  I am using the Serialport Class to receive strings of text from a serial device. However, if I write to the port, the stream freezes. I am assuming that it need to stop the read and “prepare” the port for writing and I am not correctly doing so, however I cannot seem to find the “command string” to do so in the Visual Studio 2005 Documentation. Can someone please point me to the right location Thanks.
