• Visual Studio Refreshing Server report in Win Form control

  I have a Report Viewer control that I am displaying two diffirent reports in depending on a users selection on a seperate screen. My problem is that the user can select to view all records from a query or select a collection of records. Either way the records that are selected are inserted into a table and the report pulls it's data from this table. My problem is that if I choose to have reports for all the records the RV shows up correctly, but if I go back and select only a few records the RV still shows the previous collection of all the records. The RV is in a seperate form and on the first form I change a app variable to the specific report path, generate the data in the table and open the report form. When the report form is opene ...Show All

• Visual C++ Single vs Multiple dlls

  Hi, I am building an ATL COM DLL component. There are many functions to be exported (around 100). I want to ask about the performance gain/loss in case I build a single DLL exporting all functions or in other case build multiple dlls. Thanks & Regards, Omer Javed If all functions are used in the same client, it is better to keep them in one Dll. Loading one large library to memory is faster than loading number of small libraries. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Adding my new custom transform filter seems to cause a graph problem

  Hello, I've written a very simple transform filter to solve what I believe is a problem with Logitech's latest (v10.x) webcam drivers. I think my filter works fine, but seems to introduce an instability when I include it in my capture graph. Specifically: as detailed in another one of my posts , the Pause/Resume function would no longer work in my capture graph with the new Logitech drivers. Now, with my custom filter added to the graph, Pause and Resume work fine until I take a snapshot from the video capture driver's "still" pin. After a snap, resuming from a pause operation hangs the graph. That is, control never returns from this statement in my code: _mediaControl->Run(); The app just hangs. Removing my fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio documentation in spanish with NDoc

  I need to generate documentation in spanish. How can I change the lenguage I'm using VS2005 in spanish and framework 1.1 in spanish too. I know NDoc had a language option that let you specify to which language the SDK content would point but I don't think there were any options to localize the help file table of content, section titles, etc. You can use Sandcastle, the documentation tool from Microsoft, in combination with the Sandcastle Help File Builder to create help files with those items localized into Spanish, French, Italian, or German. The actual XML comments would have to be written in Spanish, etc by you or a translator of course as with NDoc. You can download Sandcastle here: http://www.m ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cell color not changing in my customized datagridview

  This is some sort of problem created by myself, and the thing is I am not able to find out why the color of a datagridviewcell is not changing to the color that I give. I am using : datagridview1.Rows(0).Cells( 0 ).Style.BackColor = Color.Orange But this does not work. A normal datagridview allows this to work. I know I have made some mistake somewhere but I am not able to figure it out. Some please help. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle - Events when private members are enabled

  When you define an event, the compiler also creates a private field of the same name as part of the add/remove implementation. When documenting private members, Sandcastle will find both the event E:MyDomain.MyClass.MyEvent and the field F:MyDomain.MyClass.MyEvent. Since the field is compiler-generated, there is no way to document it. It would be good if these fields were automatically excluded. For now, this can be done with a change to the Sandcastle Help File Builder to exclude the compiler generated fields. In BuildProcess.PurgeItems.cs, line 256 (right before the File.Copy) add: // Remove fields that correspond to events xpath = "//apis/api[apidata/@subgroup='field' and //apis/api/@id=concat('E', substring(@id,2))]&q ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Side Trace Application compatibility

  I am using sp_trace_getdata @TraceID,@RowCount to get generated events. I was able to extract all the events by this procedure in SQL Server 2000, but in 2005 when I execute same procedure with @RowCount = 1 as second parameter, it returns me the first event that is there in the event queue of trace and queue gets cleared, so all other events are lost i.e. every call to sp_trace_getdata is clearing up the queue. Is there any work around for this issue Some hidden argument Thanks, Pushkar Any information on this issue. Awaiting for the reply. Pushkar ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multi threading in a game (using XNA)

  Hello. I am able to create thread and make them exchange information through common objects they know (server / each other reference) Now I would like 2 threads to update a server. Each of those threads takes for inputs a keyboard for one, a mouse for the other one. However, it seems that the thread that listens on the keyboard do not detect events from it. Seems like it is the parent thread that is able to listen to a keyboard event and only that parent thread. How would you do so that a children thread is master over a device even if it does not have the focus Regards, Chryso It is more like separating code. The keyboard / mouse is just a start. Using gamepad is what comes next. And if I want to push it ...Show All

• SQL Server Howto impersonate code to use specific role in SQL2005

  Hi there, in SQL2000 Analysis Services I used a very complex script to authenticate as a specific user/role to create offline graphs and Pivot-Table pictures via script for users concerning their own security rights. I read out the role of this user and used the security settings within this role to filter the owc-element so that the user only gets to see the elements/data he is allowed to. This was necessary since the script (DTS) was run with administrative rights and therefore had access to all data. I built a serverside OWC, applied the security-filtering, exported to excel or picture and sent it via email as subscription. now for the question: Is there any way to tell a script to use a specific role when accessing the c ...Show All
