• Windows Forms How do I map a VBA.Collection in .NET ???

  I am accessing COM objects using C# within .NET. Everything appears to work very well with just one obvious exception... Although I can loop through all items in a VBA.Collection using 'foreach', I can find no way to access the keys. I need to locate an object (which in this case are sub-collections) by it's key. I would happily extract the whole collection first and build a hashtable, but once again I still need to reference the key be it by field or method. Can anyone suggest how to do this, it would seem far too obviously for Microsoft to miss this out surely Gary ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Create the build type failed

  Hi, The solution need use the third party rerference, so I have changed the TFSBuild.proj as this: <ItemGroup>     <AdditionalReferencePath Include="i:\" />  </ItemGroup> the i:\  exists all the reference dll, and I can access it directyly when I used the build accouts. BTW, I have added the build accouts to have the rights to run the build service. finally, it occurs the failed log, like this: .......  D:\BuildTemp\SMW3\TEST_SMW3\Sources\SourceCode\SMW3.sln : Solution file warning MSB4051: Project {C57F36B5-50B0-4153-8A73-38CD84B5B539} is referencing a project with GUID {3E99353A-6AE7-4D8E-B648-EC8EAEABCDF7}, but a project with this GUID was not found in the .SLN file. & ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX query with filter clause

  Hi, I have the following MDX query which is supposed to return the number of records with Actual time > TargetTime for each customer, location and editor. Actual Time and Target Time are measures on the Fact table defined in minutes and represented by integer values. The hierarchy I have created is Customer Name Location Name Editor Name The MDX query I have written is: Count ( filter ( Descendants ([DimCustomer].[Customer_Hierarchy]. CurrentMember ,[DimCustomer].[Customer_Hierarchy].[EditorName]), [Measures].[ActualTime]>[Measures].[TargetTime] )) But this query gives me the number of customers rather than the number of records with ActualTime > TargetTime for each customer, location, edit ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Framework / Effects

  The effect system has a simplified programming model compared with MDX Basically what that means is that rather than having a single class with a few dozen methods it's split out into a type safe object model hierarchy where each class has just a few methods and collections of child objects. This is the case for all of XNA Framework, and by doing this the API becomes more discoverable and more similar to the structure of the classes in the core .Net framework. Here are two of the main classes they showed from the Effect system: public class Effect { public GraphicsDevice GraphicsDevice { get ; } public EffectPool EffectPool { get ; } public EffectTechnique CurrentTechnique { get ; } public EffectFunctionCollection Fun ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Any way to animate between pushpins?

  Hi, I was wondering if there's support in the VE SDK to animate between pushpins. Let's say I have three pushpins in 1. Madrid, 2. New York and 3. Seattle ... I have all of them connected through lines. What I'm trying to do is moving from pushpin 1 to pushpin 2, animating the map as if the user was dragging it. Is there any way to do this Thanks in advance Miguel Jimenez Hmm, you mean the line that connects both pushpins If so, that line is there just for design purposes, not actually representing anything but the connection between two points. But can I move the map from one coordinate to another one I guess it would jump from one to another, but maybe it's possible to develop a small implementation of bresenh ...Show All

• Visual Basic Circle clips when drawn

  Hi, I have drawn a circle in a picture box control and then a Panel control using the drawellipse method set to 100,100. However unless I extend the boundaries on the height and width to greater than the diemension of the circle the image clips at the right and bottom. Why and is there any way to avoid this Thanks in advance   Found the problem. For anyone interested. Add the number of pixels to the overall control height and width taken by the circle. i.e. if the circle is 100,100 then the Width is 103 and Height is 103. Then define the dimensions for the circle as circlex=100 and circley=100 then you can use these coordinates for lines etc. Hope this makes sense ...Show All

• SQL Server Search for data inside a Recordset Destination

  Hi there, I need to develop a module and wondering what would be the best implementation... I get a list of files from a text file and store it in a Recordset Destination (object variable "CUST_INV_LIST"). I need to check that all the files in a directory are in the list. I can loop through the files in the directory using a ForEach container, but how do I check if it is in the CUST_INV_LIST recordset I thought about using another ForEach container to loop through the recordset, check if the physical file is equal to that row, if so set a flag, ... but it's neither elegant nor effective. Another option would be to use a Script Task to search for the physical file name in the recordset. I tried with the Data.OleDb.O ...Show All
