• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Does XGSE play nicely with Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, I read in one of the threads that XNA Game Studio Express is dependent on Visual C# Express. I have a Visual Studio 2005 development environment on my system and I am worried that installing VC# Express may cause some problems. Will these products play nicely together Thanks. T Heh, I can top that. At my last position, I had all that plus the old VS Interdev 6.0 installed because I had to maintain some old classic ASP sites. And besides the issues of having interdev on any machine caused -- the apps worked well together. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development can not find System.Data in Compact Framework 1.0 project

  Hello everyone, I have used Visual Studio 2005 to create a C# .Net Compact Framework 1.0 application on Pocket Pc 2003 device.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to combine two ranges?

  Hi All Do you know any method that can combine two ranges Using following code I can't achieve this because COMException is raised with HRESULT 0x800A03EC: using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; Range r = sht.get_Range( "B2,C3" , missing ); // faires COMException with HRESULT = 0x800A03EC: Hi Dmitriy Dmitriy Ovdienko wrote: Looks like I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and you are using Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.

• .NET Development SoapException throws differently by server

  I have a ASP.NET 1.1 web site calling a ASP.NET 1.1 web service on the same server and the SoapExceptions being thrown between the service and the site are different between two of our servers.

• SQL Server Widget Factory Query

  Consider the following. Widgets are made of possibly several parts. A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contains tuples: (7, rotor) and (7,rooter) Boss needs table R with two fields: widgetID and widgetPartList. The widgetParts field should be a string concatenation of all widgetPartNames separated by "/": Example: R contains tuple (7, "rotor/rooter"). Big tables, widgets can have many parts. Any ideas I missed that class. I think that is what he wants. Look at what he says: A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contain ...Show All

• Windows Forms Refresh DataBinding

  Hi, How can I manually trigger a databinding to refresh my controls binded to a datasource. (DataSource have been updated behind the scene.) Similar to Page.DataBind() in ASP .NE Ohhhhh.... ok. I just "assumed" it was a WebForm. Databinding in WinForms is "so straightforward", according to MS, that they didn't include a DataBind method for controls. Instead, you can do various things such as fire an event when you want to rebind the data and then Fill the dataset(s) that you want to refresh. Fill'ing the DataSet should refresh the data on the controls attached to the DataSet. Curtis ...Show All
