• Windows Forms Small accounting application Big headache (SAAB-H)

  Hello, This is part of a small database EntryForm. 9 TextBoxes: 1,2,3,Sum1 (all decimal(6,1), -- V1, V2, V3, EA, VTotal (all smallmoney) , --- EA (smallmoney). Three calculations: Sum1=1+2+3, V1=EA*1, Vtotal=V1+V2+V3. The order of the TextBoxes is 1-EA-Value1, 2-Value2, 3-Value3, Sum1-ValueTotal. The Sum1 and ValueTotal should be always updated regardless in which field the user choose to start entering data. The reason for the If, Else or If ElseIf statements is to always have some values in the TextBoxes. Note: All the TextBoxes.Text was stripped away to see better (1 is 1TextBox.Text, etc) Questions: How to initialize the Form without Fill (it always brings up the first record -eve ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using the framework with WinForm controls

  Anyone have any idea on how to redirect the rendering output to something like a winform Panel control, so that I could use the framework for traditional applications I haven't had a lot of opportuntity to play with GSE yet, but an angle I would recommend that might be worth exploring would be to try extending the Graphics object and implementing the form control interfaces. Of course, I could be completely off-base with this, but it sounds to me like a logical place to start. ...Show All

• SQL Server Can I use the rdls created in Visual Studio in Report builder

  Hi, I have created a report template in Visual Studio 2005. To get a consistent look for all batch and ad-hoc reports, I want to provide this template( which has some labels/text fields/todays date in the report header etc) to the users using ad-hoc reporting. But while opening the rdl file developed using VS 2005 in Report Builder I get an error: Cannot Open this item This report cannot be opened using Report Builder One or more unexpected Report Definition Language (RDL) elements of the following type have been removed: DataSet Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportBuilder.ReportModel.Report: System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The operation you are attempting on item "/Data Sources/Adcenter" is not allow ...Show All

• Windows Forms handling events in my dataGridView

  Hi there, I have multiple comboboxes in my dataGridview, plus other events to edit cells. I guess i call this event just once: gridView.EditingControlShowing += new DataGridViewCellValueEventHandler ( grid_EditingControlShowing); then the method that handles this determines a)if its a combobox ( if e is combobox) b)which combobox in my datagridView it's coming from is this correct how should i determine which combobox its coming from by checking the DataPropertyName property or the DataSource property maybe this seems very rudimentary, and not so much an improvement on .net 1 code that I've started out converting from net1->net2 is below DataGridViewComboBoxColumn unboundCol ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grid class

  I have made my own grid base class with 9 columns. When I create a grid based on this class, and I try to reduce the number of columns, I get an error message saying "Member COLUMN# is a class member" (# being the umber just above the one to which I want to change; if I want to go from 9 to 7, # = 8). What am I missing, believing this would work Hans L PS. I wanted to make every column heading centered vertically/horizontally and bold. With column # = -1, this cannot be done, as far as I understand (no columns in Propoerties). > 1) You can decrease columncount to 8,7 ... in code. >> Okay, but I need it when designing (e.g. in Project manager) As I told you, you cannot do this - ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Moving images but no redraw

  I have 5 images (image controls) on a canvas and I want to move them from one side of the screen to the other. As if they were sliding in. This is done by changing the Margin in a For..Next loop x times. The problem I have is that they are not drawn as they move across the screen. In old VB a Doevents would solve this problem but I can see from other posts that that is no longer an option. Some have suggested using the Dispatcher but I can’t quite figure out if Microsoft thinks this is a good idea or not. What else is there. Maybe moving the For...Next loop into a new Thread. Surely not... Any ideas All code bits in VB please. rune I've found that if you wish to do manual anima ...Show All

  Hello everyone, I'm developing an MFC application with Visual C++.

• Visual C++ How to deploy MFCMIFC80.DLL?

  Hello VC++ Forum, I've added a CWinFormView to my MFC MDI project to show a .NET 2.0 control. Really really nice and working fine :) Now I wanted to test my stuff also on another machine and copied my DLLs and EXE there. That machine got .NET 2.0 and MFC 8.0 components installed. Well, when I want to open my View now, I get a message "MFCMIFC80.DLL version 1.0.0.0" missing. After that message, the program gets teared down and I must use the taskmanager to shut down its process. I tried to copy that DLL to the machine, but that doesn't help. I tried to install it to gac, but that won't work. Now I'm curious what I've got to do. I asked our deployment guy, and he said the MFC runtime stuff is installed on that machine. He doesn't h ...Show All

• Visual Studio vss 6.0 to vss sql 2005 upgrade

  I need to upgrade and older version of VSS to the latest version but I haven't been able to find a document describng the "official" way to do this. Do you know of one (Yes, we need the full history in addition to the source code itself.) TIA, Barkingdog The database format did not change so all you need to do is to update VSS program on the server and the clients. There is nothing needs to be done to the database unless you have clients working from different time zones. If this is the case you can set the time zone to the database so that clients record correct time stamps. Also it is not recomended to use VSS 6.0 and VSS 2005 clients to work with the same database if you hav ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. SetData and GetData for Texture2D

  I'm new to Textures and game programming in general. From what i've gathered Texture2D:SetData is used to assign pixel information to a texture (could be wrong <shrug>). Most of my knowledge about textures is from:   http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/migration/#_Graphics_Resources where it shows creation of a Texture2D. // Create a 256x256 image in memory. uint[] imageData = new uint[256 * 256]; // At this point, fill the array with data.... // Fill the texture with the image data.
