• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. combine c++ and c#

  Hi everybody, I wish to know, if it's possible to combine c++ and c#. I mean, if I create a DirectX device using c++, could I draw it in a c# window.

• Windows Forms Problem validating a bound text control

  I have a text box that is bound to a class property. I want to do the validation in the Validating handler of the text box. However if I set the e.cancel = true in the case of invalid data, the validated handler is not called which is correct, but the data is passed over to the bound control. This should not happen. The msdn help at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229603(VS.80).aspx States the following.  "When you use data binding, the data in your control is synchronized with the data source during execution of the Validating event. If you cancel the Validating event, the data will not be synchronized with the data source." ------------------------- So it should work as I expected. Here is the test c ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Cannot print frames if a frame contains non-HTML

  I have found with IE7 that if you have multiple frames and one of the frames contains non-HTML (e.g., pdf, doc), you cannot print the frame that has the non-HTML in it. This worked in IE6. For pdf files in the frame, nothing prints. For doc files in the frame you get output indicating it cannot be printed as laid out. Hopefully Microsoft can fix this bug. I would not need to have a frame with Word in it if Microsoft supported the widows and orphans styles but I have some paragraphs that I need to keep together and use Word to print as it can handle orphans and widows. We are experiencing this problem with our clients where we have quite a few documents that are in Rich Text Format. This has greatly inconve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Depolyment on Office XP is not working

  i created a simple excel solution and tried to Depoly on machine running Office XP but is not working. i have also installed PIA's for office xp but it is not working. can somebody help in this. The "hooks" required for VSTO solutions are only available in certain versions of Office 2003. VSTO cannot be used with any earlier Office versions because the required functionality was not in those versions. These is stated quite clearly in the VSTO documentation. You can create standard COM Add-ins for earlier versions of Office, but of course you can use only those features available in those versions. You should ALWAYS test against the target version of Office. Certainly NEVER against an&nbs ...Show All
