• Visual Basic Problem starting word from vb.net

  Hi All I have an application that needs to open word files. When the application opens the word file the word window does not pop up (I see it on the task bar but need to click the icon there in order for the word to be brought to front). After I do that, I see that word has opened the file I requested it to but the word window hangs. "Hangs" mean I can not open any menu items such as "File", "Edit" etc but I can write anything in the file it self. The hanging keeps for a while and then releases. The hanging also releases if I do ctrl+alt+del and then close the "task manager" window. By the way when the word hangs the task manager window does not show any special activity i.e. the idle process ...Show All

• SQL Server Serialize identical package execution across machines?

  Identical packages are running on 5 different machines (for load balancing reasons). Most of the time, this parallelism is desired. However, for certain packages, there is a need to serialize task execution across all machines, but I'm not sure how to do so reliably. For example, 1. Package A starts on machine 1, gets "cross machine package token" in a "wait for token task" and proceeds, and whether it succeeds, fails, or dumps core, releases the token. 2. Package A starts on machine 2 at ~ same time, sees the token is not available, and waits until the token is available in a "wait for token task". Perhaps a "RetainSameConnection" solution using a db lock ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Drive To / Drive From in Pushpin Menu

  I was wondering if anyone knows the javascript code to add a link for "Drive To" and "Drive From" into a pushpin menu Thanks in advance! This really isn't too hard: In the description field for the pushpin, add your HTML to show a Drive To and Drive From link. Each link fires an event. That event gets the LatLong of the pushpin and stores it as a global variable. Then, when the user requests a route, the two globals (start and end) are passed to GetRoute(). I'll try to get some pseudo code up here later, but there's nothing too tricky. Give it a try, and if its not working for you, post up the specific problem(s) you are seeing. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem with C++ exercise

  The exercise says: ( Employee Class ) Create a class called Employee that includes three pieces of information as data members--a first name (type string), a last name (type string) and a monthly salary (type int). Your class should have a constructor that initializes the three data members. Provide a set and a get function for each data member. If the monthly salary is not positive, set it to 0. Write a test program that demonstrates class Employee's capabilities. Create two Employee objects and display each object's yearly salary . Then give each Employee a 10 percent raise and display each Employee's yearly salary again.

• Visual Studio Customized Shape

  Hi all, I'm doing DSL project about Image Processing Graph Editor right now. My question is just simple, can I make a drop-down list for a property in the geometry shape Cheers, Herru You need to create a new class, which derives from ShapeField and override the EditValue method(s). There you need to instantiate your Combobox, place it on the DiagramClientView and show it. This only takes place, when the shape field has focus of course. You can use System.Windows.Forms for the ComboBox itself. Michael ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animating Billboards Using A Single Texture

  I just finished a basic billboard class that is capable of reading in multiple textures and animating. However, I would like to read in a single texture file and be able to simply change texture coordinates to change the appearance of the billboard. Now, I could recreate my VertexBuffer each frame, but that would be a lot of wasted processing. Is there a way to dynamically alter the texture coordinates for VertexBuffer objects each frame Edit: As a bonus question, how do I enable the alpha channels in my textures Right now it shows up white. I am using the BasicEffect. Would I have to write my own effect just for that Seems rather silly but I will if I have to. Edit 2: As bonus question 2, how can I disable antialiasing of my textures I'm ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. PIX, DX10 and Render to Texture

  Does PIX support DX10 properly i need to link dx9 libs to get pix support which makes me think its not. Secondly, pix does give me some information when i do a capture, how ever now that i've implemented some more render to texture goodness, pix doesnt capture a whole frame, it only captures till i unbind the first render texture, anything i can do do some how get it to capture a whole frame Hi, PIX supports D3D10, though it is a newer codebase and may be less stable than D3D9 support. To use the D3DPERF APIs in a D3D10 app, you currently need to link to d3d9.lib and #include d3d9.h. If you don't use user events/markers from your app, you shouldn't need this D3D9 dependency.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Error displaying xaml files in the browser...
