• Visual Studio Express Editions Link Resource Image to PictureBox

  I have several pictures in the Resources File of my application, and have made several forms. What I would like to do is autogenerate a thumbnail on a button for each image, and when someone clicks on the thumbnail I would like it to open Form2 and fill the PictureBox with the appropriate image from the Resources File. I cannot figure out how to do this though, and so would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. 1) I would like my application to create a thumbnail of the appropriate JPG Image. 2) When someone clicks on the button / thumbnail I would like to open Form2 and fill the PictureBox with the appropriate image. I am able to open the form, but I cannot seem to open the image. 3) I would also like to know how to arrange it so t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compile assembly language program in Visual Studio 2005

  I am curious how to compile an assembly language program from the IDE. The program is in full segment definition and I can compile and link it using ml and link on the command line, although, I would like to be able to do the same thing from the IDE. The only examples I can find are for compiling inline assembly for previous versions of Visual Studio. That said, I have just upgraded from visual studio 6 so the interface is a bit new also. Add an .asm file to the project, right click on it in the solution explorer and select Properties. In properties go to Configuration Properties\Custom Build Step\General and you have Command line: ml /c "$(InputPath)" /Fo"$(OutDir)\$(InputName).obj" ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't run Business Intelligence Development Studio

  All, I've installed SQL Express with advanced services and the BIDS software from the SQL Toolkit using the vs_setup.msi extracted from the toolkit installer (Why not include it in the advanced services ). Now I'm trying to start BIDS and am asked to log into the Report Server. I use my username and password for ASPNET. The login fails saying that the web application is not available on the web server and to look in the application event log for more information. There are a bunch of errors listed (and more every 30 seconds are so). The error message is: aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid. Also, when I start Visual Web D ...Show All

• Windows Forms One more TIFF question

  As long as i am being bothersome to everybody with TIFF questions, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen any code or docs which show the way as regards using extended tiff editing features. (If you haven't tried it, save a bitmap as a .tif file and open it with Windows Fax and Image Viewer (not sure that's the correct name of the default picture view with Windows XP, anyway, the shell program (originally by Kodak, i think) which a fresh out of the box system opens images with). Note the really cool set of extra 'features' that show up on the tool bar -- different kinds of "annotations" and diagramatic elements tthat can be placed on the image which do not become an intrinsic part of the image when it is saved (they must be data ...Show All

• Visual Basic ActiveX components

  Are ActiveX controls lost and gone forever I have a project where I need to access client side system data and I would LOVE to have them simply access a web site with an ActiveX control to do this, but Im wondering if I'll need to lean on a Windows Form App instead... thank you for the reply... i actually started a separate thread specifically for the process itself, so here's a little more info on what I am looking to do ( thread - opens in new win. ) i guess i have 2 concerns: 1 - what are the security limitations of using an activeX component to access client side system info (could i check reg keys for example ) 2 - with the latest and greatest windows updates, it seems as if more and more activeX components are being consi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to Serialize individual Ink Strokes?

  Hello, I am just wondering how to serialize individual ink strokes. When I attempt to I catch an exception stating that the Ink.Stroke object is non-serializable. I would love to not have to save the Ink object and serialize the entire thing, but instead simple grab a single stroke and serialize it. Does anyone have any information that may help with this Thanks again! I found an MSDN article, the one on the Sudoku application http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dntablet/html/tbconSudokuSampleFinal.asp  , and it suggested using an integer array: int[] stroke = e.Stroke.GetPacketData(); You can then serialize this and do what you need to. Why isn't the Stroke object s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation Transform Question

  Hey, in XNA I am doing animation by  finding a bone's final transform for a given animation frame. I do this by first finding the transform of the bone for that frame through interpolation or direct keyframe data, then finding the absolute transform of the bone for that frame, and finally multliplying it with the matrix that transforms a vertex to the local space of the bone. Since the bind pose in XNA is stored in the bones, unlike in directx, I get it by multiplying the absolute mesh transform by the inverse absolute bone transform. This seems to work fine for all .X files, but for .FBX files, it seems to not work sometimes. Is this algorithm not compatible with .FBX files, or is this probably a bug in my code/invalid fbx file ...Show All
