• Visual Studio Express Editions C# equivalent for the Delphi "Set of"

  Hi all what's the C# equivalent for the Delphi Set of (set = a collection of values of the same ordinal type) private ANumb: integer; // declare the set _MySet : set of 0..127; // add to set if not (ANumb in _MySet) then _MySet := _MySet + [ANumb]; // remove from the set if (ANumb in _MySet) then _MySet := _MySet - [ANumb]; How to translate the above thanks in advance for any help! from what I've seen with a quick google, its to instantiate a variable/collection with a certain length Integer I believe cannot be "set" as it has its own min/max values but you can assign a value to an Int: int theNumber = 1; to create an array of string, for example, with a specified length: ...Show All

• SQL Server Schema modification advice

  We have a production database (SQL 2005) that is being used by at least 20 different applications. Some of the tables need to be modified (column added). There is also a need to add new tables that will have referential integrity relationships with existing tables.

• Smart Device Development Porting from .Net Framework to .Net Compact Framework

  Hi, what is the best way of porting the app to mobile device I think that GUI must be completely redesigned, as most of method and properties are simply not avaiable... But HOW to di it in the best way I'm newbie, so I simply create new solution in MSVC 2005 IDE and then I start make new forms with similar visual appearance, with .Net Compact framework limitations..., I will share the engine code, but the GUI code I will rewrite completely Is there the better way how to do it Thanks a lot Bye STeN nope, im afraid you have to redesign the GUI as its a different platform altogether (its not a PC). As for the code, same thing for some of it, depending on if the .NET CF Supports the classes you are using in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio BuildAction property for a ctc file does not contail the CtcFile property

  Hi, I'm trying to remove the depenendency of my Package on a satellite dll. I did this by creating a resx file and adding all the necessary strings, ico, images etc. I proceeded to add the [MsVsShell. PackageRegistration (UseManagedResourcesOnly = true )] attribute to my package. I then moved the ctc file for the assembly from the satellite dll project to my main package project. The "Build Action" property for my ctc file, however, does not provide the "CtcFile" option. If I look at the Toolwindow sample the ctc file has this option. What is the correct way to migrate a ctc file from a satellite dll to the main package How do I get the "CtcFile" option to show up for the "Build Action" property. Thnx in advance. ...Show All

• .NET Development how to convert IList to IList<T> and vice verse?

  Thanks Since IList doesn't derive from IList<T> (directly or indirectly) (for any T) you'll have to write a wrapper. using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ListWrapper { class EnumeratorWrapper <T> : IEnumerator <T> { IEnumerator e; public EnumeratorWrapper( IEnumerator e) { this .e = e; } #region IEnumerator<T> Members public T Current { get { return (T)e.Current; } } #endregion #region IDisposable Members public void Dispose() { if (e is IDisposable ) (( IDisposable )e).Dispose(); } #endregion #region IEnumerator Members ob ...Show All

• SQL Server Sharing an XML configuration file between packages

  Hello, I'm using an XML file to configure my dataBase connection string. I try to deploy my package on a new server and it works perfectly. Then I made a second package which also need a configuration for the dataBase connection string. (I made the connection with the connection manager inside packages). The configuration is the same that for my first package, so I thought to use the same configuration file. I can use the same configuration file but the problem is when I try to generate a deployment for my solution. I got an error which tell me that the xxx.dtsConfig file already exist and can not be copy again. When I made the configuration in the second package I said that I want to reuse the file ... and I thought that for the deploymen ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Power of XBOX360 - raw triangle power

  Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to compare the graphics power of XBOX360 to any of current gfx cards. Say, if it`s capable of rendering same amount of triangles as e.g. GF6800 does. The old XBOX was usually compared to GF3 in terms of graphics performance. The reason I ask is, that I would like to know the general boundaries of the raw gfx power, since I`m planning on converting some of my current games to XNA (and later to XBOX360) as soon as it becomes available. Currently I`m pushing the GF6800 card to its limits, which means I`m rendering a range of 0.5M-1.0M triangles (all unique, non-instanced) per frame and it seems that GF6800 starts to slow down when it crosses 1M barrier. No pixel shaders there, just Vertex Shader ...Show All
