• .NET Development Help request on How to draw a vertical upward string?

  Assume that I have drawn two coordinate axes on the screen (X and Y). When I want to put axis captions on the screen it's OK with X-axis such that Graphics^ gObj = this->CreateGraphics(); String^ xAxis ="X-Axis"; // Make necessary arrangements here such as measure string and find the optimal screen position, etc. then draw the string gObj->DrawString(// put necessary parameters here); Then the result is "X-Axis". It is just fine. How can I do it for the y-axis When I choose text alignment vertical, the string containing "Y-Axis" is drawn like this : Y - A x i s (LOL!). How can I put a vertical upward string "Y-Axis" parallel with the vertical y-axis on the screen Rega ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Retrieving Username and Password from OperationContext with wsHttpBinding

  Hi there, Does anyone know, if it is possible to retrieve username and password from the OperationContext in the service I have used the wsHttpBinding and in the OperationContext.Current instance, I cannot find the caller information again. There is a CallerIdentity in the OperationContext instance, but I need the password that is supplied by the client to the corresponding user. Any information/help will be greatly appreciated! Best Regards, L. Liu So I'm not completely sure why you need Adam's password once he's already been authenticated. Is there some other resource that the STS needs to access using Adam's credentials If so, then since the STS must have access to the correct password in order to authenticate h ...Show All

• Visual C# Making a Send To Shortcut

  I have an c# VS 2005 winform that takes file list variables via Environment.CommandLine passed from a Send To link to my application. So I need to create a shortcut to my application in the user's Send To folder. I am able to build a MSI to install my application and create the shortcut in the User's Send To Menu location but when I right click from windows explorer I do not see the short cut as a Send To target. If I simply copy the shortcut to some other location such as User's Program Menu I see the shortcut as expected in Programs start menu location, which launches my application. How can I get my Send To shortcut to show up in windows explorer right click context menu I have other questions about the nature of the shortcut and why ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shader Newbie question - Jagged (sharp) edges

  I'm working on a custom shader for a game and I'm really happy with the results except the edges of my object when drawn are jagged, and I was wondering about the best (preferred)way to antialias or smooth them out. Do I need to write a postprocessing shader or is there a way to do this in the vertex or pixel shader Thanks, Bill Hardware multisampling will generally give you much better performance than trying to fake this yourself by rendering to a texture and then manually shrinking it down. GPU's (and especially Xbox) have all sorts of crazy silicon dedicated to making multisampling fast. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro how do i change the desktop background?

  Good day to all experts.... how could i change the desktop background programatically i would like that if a user change my desktop background...at the time I open my VFP application it automatically search my desired background and changed it. Thank you >why not incorporate this in our program . if we can ... Just because technically you (or VFP) can does not mean you should. As Andy told you, users do not welcome apps that change our user environment, themes, color sets, screen resolution or whatever else we set as personal Windows dektop environment. That's a choice for the user to make, not the developer of an app. I would not suffer long a program that changes my environment. It would be unistalled ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks I don't know if this is any shorter but it is more compact. I assume that you are toggleing between the two sets of check boxes. Private Sub c1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As ...Show All
