• Visual Basic Graphics: smoothing problem

  Hello, I would like to use the circular progress bar control that is shown on the Code Project site at this URL: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/sql2005circularprogress.asp The control works well, but the inner circle is not smooth. This is especially evident when the control is enlarged. Any ideas how to make it smooth Thanks Tom The problem is that the control uses a clipping region for the inner circle and clipping  regions are not antialiased. You can modify the control a bit to achieve what you want: Go to the ProgressDisk_Paint method and 1) delete the line : e.Graphics.ExcludeClip(innerBackgroundRegion) 2) add the following lines at the end of the  ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL reporting - An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError)

  I have created an RDL file programatically. When I execute the code I get the error as mentioned below: Error: Sub report cannot be shown. An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) When I copy and paste the code of RDL file into new RDL file and try to preview the output I get correct result. Note: The new RDL file does not give any error if the output is seen using preview tab but it gives the error only when executed from report viewer or from internet explorer. Any Suggestion/feedback is highly appreciated. Thank You. The code of the sample RDL is shown below: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <Report xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.co ...Show All

• Visual Basic text input matching label question

  My problem is that I can't figuire out how to code this simple situation:( I have one textbox and a label that displays a random letter. I want a if,then statement when a key pressed in the textbox to check if the two are the same letter without having to hit enter. I have it working with the user having to to hit the enter key after they type the letter but I want to get rid of the enter key step.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Storing game data in database

  I am a casual programmer and have recently, since express was launched, started using SQL databases in my app. These have been very convenient to store and manage datatables etc. I understand that with XNA we can also access other VS components, such as networking, but these components might not be available on the Xbox. Is database integration a purely VS component or can we use it for Xbox applications as well I'd be willing to bet the only databases accessible on a 360 are those on MS's network and that through some type of Live networking API, not the regular Data namespace classes (since .NET isn't on the 360 yet ). Binary or XML files are much easier to use. What would you need a database for on the 360 ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Vista Machine with Office 2007- Outlook not finding emails. Instant Search/Indexing issue

  Hi, I have search everywhere for a solution and still I do not seem to find a solution. Outlook is not finding any emails (instant search). I think it is not really indexing anything. Vista search works perfect (seems like it). The index says it is done (outlook is included on it) As I receive emails, the list of pending items to index just grows and grows. I am using pop accounts not exchange. (I already checked the instant search options, the indexing thorugh control panel). Any ideas. I spent the last two weeks searching for a solution, and I have read and follow the suggested solutions from microsoft, but still is not really finding anything.. so frustrated!. Thanks for reading this, and I hope somebody can help me ou ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Focus not sticking

  I'm trying to use a single button to fire off one type of behavior the first time I press it (it opens a pop up), then have it change color, and then get a different behavior (close pop up) the next time it is pressed. However I cannot seem to get an action to register on the second click. The first behavior (when backgroundFrame is 0) works. The second one does not.

• Windows Forms Custom serialization of extender properties

  I'm performing a custom serialization of a designer host, but can't figure out how to serialize extender properties. I.e., if I add a TableLayoutPanel and then some Buttons to the TLP, each Button gets Row, Column, etc properties from the TLP. However these properties don't show up in the Button's PropertyDescriptorCollection from TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(). How can I get at these properties to add them to my serialization code Well, yeah, but I need to take care of this in the general case for each component and all extender providers. It looks like I can use the IExtenderListService interface to find all extender providers in the designer host and then check the CanExtend property on each of them f ...Show All

  Hello, I am currently putting a team together to create new Xbox Live Arcade games. They will be using the XNA development tool and the projects will be financed by myself.

  http://www.barrysumpter.com Free Lists is the only app there written in vb.net. Don't worry about the other products. I've only sold 1 of each. I have no fantasies or pretentions regarding sales. Best intentions to offer Free Lists as a usable product developed in my spare time over a three day period. Standard, evironments, interfaces change so often I've given up trying to conform. For me, vb.net has been an absolute nightmare. Any features left out are from frustration only. Any positive comments are welcome. Any positive constructive suggestions may very well end up in the next version. All the best to everyone. Righto! Thanks again Hans. An interesting discovery.
