• .NET Development Machine Config Runtime entry being ignored

  I'm trying to get the Codebase element to reference a dll from a directory other than the base directory, but my machine.config runtime element seems to be ignored. I'm guessing that the section element type of IgnoreSection is the problem, but what do I replace it with so the runtime element is used Here is the section element concerned: <section name="runtime" type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSection, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" allowLocation="false" /> Any advice welcomed. You're right there. Just corrected it and retried but made no difference, so it looks like the runtime entry is being ignored to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to create document w/o assembly attached?

  I use VSTO to add some special formatting features to word. I need to use Smart Doc model to use Actions Bars cause Add-ins don't support them (till word2007). But I need to save results of user's work in this document w/o any reference to my controls (to allow to open it on other computer w/o assemblies etc)...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. fx Shader files do not support more than 1 technique?

  I found some strange bug in the Effect class (I think), maybe this was mentioned before, but I couldn't find any information on this. I wrote some simple shaders for line rendering (see more details and fx source code on my blog). If I put each technique in a own file, I can access the shader technique passes with: effect.Techniques[0].Passes But if I put 2 techniques into 1 fx file only the first one works. If I access the second one either by calling effect.Technique[1] or effect.Technique["NameOfTechnique .."] it still accesses the first technique. I'm pretty sure this is not a user error on my side because if I have only 1 pass in technique 1 and 2 passes in technique 2, the app crashes if I try to access the 2nd pass in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can't check in binary file..., Help!!

• Windows Forms How to draw a matrix of rectangles in a panel?

  Hi everyone, I have a problem with C++ GUIs: I have developed a program which simulates the movements (under certain constraints) of a mouse in an arena (double array matrix) : now I would like to represent in a gui those movements (for instance drawing in a panel the matrix in which every location is represented by a square, and the mouse is a square itself, perhaps colored differently, updating the panel at each step of the simulation). How can I do that Thank you Claudio ...Show All

• .NET Development default value 0

  i have a a select statment the bring up data from my data DB to a dataTable the i Bind the DataTable to a DataGrid but i can many cells with no value i want to make the default value to be 0 how can i do it It sounds like the select is returning null values and you want to replace these with the value zero in the datagrid. I found an easy way to do this in .NET 2.0. What I did was create a datagrid bound to a datatable using the Wizards (drag and drop table to my form). Then I opened the properties for the datagrid and went to the Columns collection. For the column there is a property called DefaultCellStyle. I clicked on this to open the CellStyle builder and there is a NullValue property in ...Show All

• Visual Studio installing sp1

  When I try to install I get an error message that I must first uninstall web components for web examples. However, I can't find those anywhere. Frankly this is an unnecessary pain in the rear end. A Microsoft installation program should be able to handle that. Can somebody tell me what programs or examples these are referring to, why they don't show up and add/remove, and how I can go about installing the sp1. Thank you very much. dennist685 Thanks for the reply but it doesn't help much.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Guidance for IErrorHandler

  Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on how I should use the IErrorHandler. I have it configured, and running, but I'm really not sure how to go about getting it to the "right" things. Additionaly, I'm supposed to make it interact with the exception policies (ExceptionPolicy) of EntLib. Thanks Hi Andrew, you can get the structured handling that you're looking for by defining FaultException<T> for various T that you'd like to differentiate (usually you use a class with DataContractAttribute for T and shove your specific fault information in there), then throw those specific classes as needed. Of course, that's not the full story. To make this work with the client side, you'l ...Show All
