• Visual Studio DataGridView wrapper - additional property-combobox fill up

  Hi All, I have made a datagridview wrapper, in wich I add properties to grid for the developer to see at the design time in properties window of the grid .

I have been able to make a property appear as combobox, but I am nto able to fill up the dropdown list.

• Software Development for Windows Vista What is my next step

  hey folks. I've installed VISTA RC1 5744, installed my software, tested it. What do I do next Do I just say "it works" and then put a sticker on the box for the next print run I'm only taking the steps towards getting the "Works with" vista logo for this batch of products that I am testing. All help appreciated :) Thankyou Maarten, I thought there was something wrong as the message on my page is: Beginning in August, you will be able to submit to Microsoft a standard test report that includes such information as the test conditions, success and failure information, and the list of use case scenarios that were tested.

• SQL Server Move SQL 2000 server from workgroup to a domain

  I have been asked to move a system running MS SQL 2000 Server from a workgroup to a domain. The SQL server is running in SQL Authentication and the services are running as local system. Will SQL Server break after the move Any advice will help. I thought I remember this being the case, but possibly only with Windows Authentication. As always it's best to test before you try something like this on a Production server, but you should not have any problems. If SQL Server is running under Local System, that should not impact anything because Local System will still be there after you join the domain. As far as any SQL authentication accounts, they should not be impacted either because they are local accounts to SQL whether ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Designer Rehosting and XAML Workflow

  Hi all, I am new to Windows Workflow. The XAML only workflow consists of custom activity which is defined in the 'test' namespace. The Namespace mapping construct maps Xml Namespace to the clr-namespace. I load this workflow in the workflow runtime. i.e. XAML Activation. This works fine. My problem is: I am trying to load the same XAML workflow in the workflow designer re-hosted using the WorkflowDesignerControl. The xoml is deserialised correctly and the root element 'MyRoot' is identified and added to the designer host. It cannot identify the child activities i.e. WriteLineActivity since it resides in a custom namespace and so the number of children for root element is 0. So only the root element is rendered on the designer and ...Show All

• SQL Server Widget Factory Query

  Consider the following. Widgets are made of possibly several parts. A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contains tuples: (7, rotor) and (7,rooter) Boss needs table R with two fields: widgetID and widgetPartList. The widgetParts field should be a string concatenation of all widgetPartNames separated by "/": Example: R contains tuple (7, "rotor/rooter"). Big tables, widgets can have many parts. Any ideas I missed that class. I think that is what he wants. Look at what he says: A table T exists with columns widgetID and widgetPartName. If widget with ID 7 has parts rotor and rooter, T contain ...Show All

• .NET Development Error creating soap header in vb6 when .net 2.0 installed

  In order to use a .net 1.1 web service from VB6, I added it to a .Net 1.1 dll and referenced that dll in the VB6 project. Some methods of the web service require a soap header. So the code to initialise the header from VB6 looks like this... Set DotNetDLLObject.AuthenticationHeaderValue = New DotNetDLL.AuthenticationHeader ... This works fine until the .Net 2.0 framework is installed and then I get the following error message... Automation Error '-2146233079(80131509)' Any ideas Make a new method in the dll to return Environment.Version.ToString(). If this is 1.1, then probably the CLR 2.0 has nothing to do with your problem. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions @Dennis

  can u suggest me a standard method to input a character from keyboard with echo and without echo....like _getch() and _getche() functions. what i mean is these functions are supported by vc++ 2005 express edition but are non standard and hence the code and exe wont be portable. i know that in standard c++ there is no method for above problem .but i want to create functions which are standard and which i can include every time when i require keyboard input i.e i wanna make 2 functions equivalent of _getch() and _getche(). kindly help desolate wrote: so can we start OK.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UDDI Sample Questions

  1) Does the uddi sample work with only basicHttpBinding only Or can you use wsHttpBinding also 2) I noticed that UDDI related code is not coming from .net framework but appeared to have been generated with some internal schema or published uddi wsdl. Does this mean this code will look like this until WS-Discovery support is in place Thanks. 1) Primarily due to timing, the UDDI specifications do not include support for the set of specifications that are used in the wsHttpBinding so the basicHttpBinding must be used. 2) The UDDI client library used in the sample is generated using the WCF svcutil tool from the standard schema and wsdl from http://uddi.org . Alterntively, Microsoft produces a more specific UDDI client library (this ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DrawIndexedPrimitive help understanding

  Hello, I am new here.

Right now I have a 65x65 size terrain and want to render 4 patches 33x33 each one.
