• Smart Device Development does a toolBarButton with pushButton style not popup contextMenu??

  Hi, I need to have a menuBar with some images, which when selected should popup a menu. But the toolBar does'nt provide the exact thing what i require. It does'nt popup the menu when the button style is pushButton. It works only with dropdown style. But this style also displays the dropdown arrow. Is there a way that i could let the menu popup for pushButton style button Thanks, Hari.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the XNA substitute for Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Line?

  I was just looking through some of my old Managed DirectX projects trying to convert various parts to XNA and figuring out how to draw a line in XNA was one thing that I'm not having an easy time converting. I started to go down the path of using DrawPrimitives and was able to get a line drawn on the screen but I had no control over. It seemed like the fact that I got a line at all was more of a fluke than anything because I was just setting parameters to see what they changed without really understanding what each one meant. Has anyone else been playing around with drawing lines to the screen and want to share the method they used I'm going to keep playing with it, but I've gotten about as far as I'm going to without discovering some new ...Show All

• SQL Server Create Table from Row Data

  Hello, In SQL Server 2000, is it possible to take a table with one field (column), and pivot the table so that the characters in the row data become the field (column) names of another table ( or in a View) The number of records could vary. If so, how would I do this Sample table; Create Table dbo.MonthlyData ( Categories varchar(30) NOT NULL ) Sample data; Sales Volume 2005-02 TotRefVol 2005-02 Sales Ratio 2005-02 Sales Volume 2005-03 TotRefVol 2005-03 Sales Ratio 2005-03 Sales Volume 2005-04 TotRefVol 2005-04 Sales Ratio 2005-04 Thanks again.

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstall Team Foundation Server

  Hello, 1. I installed Team Foundation Server beta 3 and now I want to install the release version. I have no data in the beta 3 so I want uninstall without the upgrade process. I didn;t find any document of uninstall process can some one help me just perform uninstall 2. How can I move the database from the default location to a new drive Thanks 1) The easiest path if you don't have any data to save is to drop the databases (include the sharepoint ones), uninstall sharepoint, then do a fresh TFS install 2) You can do this with SQL Server Management Studio - you detach the database, move the mdf and ldf files, then re-attach it at the new location. You'll want to do this whi ...Show All

  We were using EReports which allowed us to email from Foxpro. Due to server changes for spam filtering, the product does not work anymore.

• SQL Server T-SQL Badly needed

  To one of our sql server database Table A , we need to migrate data from another sql server database Table B . Assume there are two columns in a table namely OrderID and Comments . Here OrderID is a foreign key. And therefore, I can have any number of comments for a Particular OrderID. Thru a TSQL query, I wish to have all the Comments data beside the OrderID seperated by comma like Ord1 Comm1, Comm2, Comm3 Ord2 Comm5, Comm6. Comm7, Comm8, etc., This is just the thing we used to do for numeric columns using GROUP BY statement as SELECT ORDERID, SUM(ORDER_TOTAL) AS AMT FROM B GROUP BY ORDERID Want to know how to achieve similar effect with Varchar type of data.

• Visual C# Vb.Net Vs C# .Net

  I did a lot of projects using VB .Net, I know that C# is a very powerful language. But the two languages seem to be the same although most of the big projects, world wide, are implemented using C#. I am asking the advantages of C# over VB. Is there is a big importance for me to learn C# there is actually alot of topics about this whole VB.NET vs C# - do a forum search as sometimes such topics can get out of control..... :-) C# is just more of a professional language and is just "quick" in terms of syntax. There is no difference really - at the end of the day everything gets compiled down to the MSIL/CLR meaning pretty much the same framework language - everything uses the same framework. VB.NET 2005 is more ...Show All

• Visual C# video buffer

  Hi.. im developping a client-server application in which i stream video.. i take 5 frames every second and send them to the server like this.. private void timer_snap_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { byte[] bpic; MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); pictureBox_snapshot.Image.Save(ms, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg); bpic = ms.ToArray(); if(bpic.Length <5001 && bpic.Length >800) m_VideoSocket.Send(bpic); ms.Close(); ms.Dispose(); } Two possible reasons I can think of. You're using a UDP socket (correct for streaming video) and you're losing packets. More likely: a synchronous Send() over the Internet is going to be slow; you're losin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System List and explanation of Microsoft-namespace fields

  Is there anywhere a list of all Microsoft-namespace defined fields I want to reuse as much as possible before defining my own fields, but it is not always very clear what the fields are used for (e.g.: ActivatedBy) By the way, it is absolutely safe to reuse these fields, as they have no pre-defined logic, which would affect all work item type definitions. For new work item types they are like any other custom fields. thanks, Alex ...Show All
