• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I send data from my application to a database?

  I am just learning how to use Visual Studio and I was wondering if someone could help me out with a problem I cannot figure out. I am working on an application, composed of drop-down boxes that are from various tables, and I can not figure out how to send the selected data from the drop-down boxes to a database. I have been playing around with the BindingSource and BindingNavigator which has not gotten me anywhere. If someone could help me out with this problem I would much appreciate it.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sequential workflow and ASP.Net

  I am trying to create a sample for myself of using a sequential workflow and a simple asp.net page. I know how to use the manualschedulerservice, runworklow etc. I also know that I can get the input data from the webpage, then put that into a dictionary and pass that into the workflow. What I'm not sure about is how to get any kind of response back out of the workflow. For example, if all I have in the workflow is a code shape that calculates two numbers and I want to return the response, how do I return it to the asp.net host Should I just create a workflow property and then when the workflow becomes idle, read the property I believe there are also output parameters from workflow instances but I'm not sure off the top of my head on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ToolboxBitmap problem

• Windows Live Developer Forums Question "Disambiguate a location"

  I couldn't find much on this in SDK documentation... I'm trying to code a function that if there is a match to a searched location the map zooms to that location and a marker with appropriate text is created (this part is easy thanks to the post by CelebT) but I'm struggling to find a work around for cases where more than one match is found. Find(); returns a list of possible matches but the marker is put only on the first location on that list. Is there a way to: 1. stop drawing a marker until the user makes the selection and the map zooms to that location 2. "recycle" the information returned (ie text plus info which location from the list was selected by the user) Thanks Rusty ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D Doom/Wolfenstein 3D Ray Casting, how can it be done in C#?

  I searched on here for anything about this and all I've come up with is information for 3D examples, now I don't want to try my hand at a 3D FPS but wanted to experiment with the old 2D Raycasting technique, are there any tutorials or information for simple raycasting math in C# Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 1 & 3, DUke Nukem 3d, as well as many other early '3D' FPSes weren't done with 3D as we think of it today, but rather were all 2D games made to look 3D. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System rights for developers to lock and unlock by administrator

  hi ... can any one tell me how to give appropriate rights to developers. Like the rights should allow developers to lock the file as well as the administrator should be able to unlock the page from UI . There is a Lock permission that controls whether a user can lock a file. There is an UnlockOther permission that you can grant to control whether a user can unlock an item locked by another user. For changing these from the GUI and the command line, see the documentation at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252587.aspx . Buck ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Humorous but somewhat serious question about XNA

  Microsoft has claimed the Nintendo Wii as a "kids toy;" however, if XNA can produce graphics and push performance up to what the Wii is capable of handling (games like Half-Life, Sims 2 from most XNA performance claims), does that mean that XNA is a kids toy too I do not understand the question perhaps, but XNA can be as serious and hardcore as you want it to be or it can be simple and easy. I think that is one of the nice things about XNA; that it takes very little to get started, to get a 2D character bouncing around. So if you are asking if XNA is targeted towards kids or rather the more novice of us programmers then I would say yes, of course it is. That is not to say XNA isn't powerful though, I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Clipboard Help

  Hello all, good morning :) need some help with this one please: I have 6 textboxes on my form. I need to assign each textbox with a shorcut key (eg. alt + 1, atl+2 etc..) and then copy the contents to the clipboard. I take it that I would have to put the code in a timer event & would the shorcut keys still work even if the form is not displayed on the screen Thanks, Stuart Hi there. I've been thinking and thinking about what you are proposing about taking in input when the form has no focus and I think it's an awful idea. I'm not really huge on standardization but the potential problems go beyond simply standards but cross proper system functioning. The api routine you ...Show All

  I am working on a very simple browser, mainly for quick web surfing without the need of menus, favorites, and other fancy features seen in other browsers. The problem is, im quite new to this programming language, and i barely got anything out of what little time i had in Introduction to Computer Programming (using Visual Basic 6.0) before being pulled out of that class to make up a required credit.
