• Visual C# namespace question

  I'm new to .net and have a very basic question about namespaces. I'm using Visual Studio.Net 2003 and created a web application project using the namespace "compass" I created my startpage index.aspx in the root directory. So, when I debug and test in the browser the url in the address bar shows: http://localhost/compass/index.aspx Now, I created a sub directory "About Us" to hold the appropriate files for that section of the website. I created a webform "index.aspx" for that directory. I have an xml file that defines my site navigation. So, the url to the 'about us' section would be: /about_us/index.aspx However, when I try to view the page in my browser: http://localhost/about_us/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Protecting EXE file

  I wrote a program and build it in Visual Studio 2005. I want No Body Can disassembling my EXE program and see my codes. What Should I Do Thank You For Your Response Do you mean on your own machine, or wherever the EXE is going to be deployed On your own machine, if your source code is in your own user folder, then it should be safe. For increased safety, encrypt the project folder. I have a feeling you mean elsewhere, though. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to "disassemble" an EXE file. A compiler cannot just take it and translate it back into code. However, be assured that it CAN be done by extremely advanced users. I'm not sure if there' ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Setting Effect.Parameters on the fly?

  I am looking to setup the ability to set values of parameters in an Effect on the fly. Right now I have a dictionary of type <string, object> which is setup similar to how Effect Parameters are. Effect.Parameter[string].SetValue(...) doesn't take type object though. Maybe I am missing something but is there a way I can do this SetValue has a load of overloads so it does not have to cast it to the correct type, which makes a lot of sense. What is preventing you from setting them on the fly using the normal way ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to simulate the dockable window effect in Visual Studio 2005.

  Hello All, As we see in VS 2005, the Solution explorer window can float or can be docked on to the screen. I'm simulating a similar thing in my project and now my page contains 2 seperate panels one below the other and now when i dock the floating window then the scrollbar should appear for only that panel which contains data more than the size of the window. The important thing is i dont want a scroll bar for my entire page at the bottom i only want it for the panel which ever has more data than the size of the panel. I've specified the positioning of all the elements in these panels in %s so that nothing overlaps each other. Thank You. Hi there, You might be interested in thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Re-importing schema?

  This isn't a critial issue, because once you're using this product, you probably don't need this functionality. However, I'm evaluating this product, so nothing is under source countrol, and changes are still going directly into the 'source' database. What I'd like to figure out is if there is any way to re-import the schema from the original source database, to update the project with any external changes Right now the only method I have is to close the project completely, go to Windows Explorer to delete the entire project and all its files from the disk, and then open a new project specifying the same source database ... which re-imports all the schema. It won't suprise me if this is the only way this can be done, but is there ...Show All

• Visual C++ I know VC++ 2005 .NET. Should I trash it?

  Before Studio 2003 came out I would use VB for my GUI front ends. Now, VC++ is just as powerful in the GUI department as any .NET language. So, I thought I could say ‘audios’ to VB, and stick with my multi-platform C++. But then at the same time C/C++ developers on Linux have grown to become a growing threat to Windows, and so I see Microsoft backing away from C++ as evidenced from its developer certifications (all must use non-standard, mono-platform languages). Certainly, the language is still evolving at MS, but its probably just momentum. So paradoxically, Im thinking now I should say ‘audios’ to C++ instead of VB. Or, should I just replace C++ with C# Thanks for any advice! I agree. Its for .Net, no ...Show All
