• .NET Development Registering System.EnterpriseServices.dll trouble

  I am unsure if this is the proper place to post this. My apologies if I am in the wrong place but... While trying to run a new program, I discovered that I needed the .NET framework v2, which I then downloaded. Everytime I attempted to install it would stop at Registering System.EnterpriseServices.dll. The system wouldn't hang. I got no error messages. It just wouldn't proceed. After waiting about 1/2 hour, I would have to use Windows Task Manager to stop the program. Help! Bob Hesch Ps. I am an average home user with good Windows skills but without any programming experience. I have a Compaq Presario 5000 - Athlon 1Ghz processor running XP Home, 640 MB of DDR RAM. ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple values contained in query string to be used as parameter in Report. HELP!

  Hi, I'm a bit desperate here so any solutions would be much appreciated. I'm using SQL reporting services 2005 & .NET2.0 & Oracle DB. I need to pass multiple values in the query string, or any other suggested way, to my report to be used as a parameter. The idea is a user on the web app will do a search & select an item to open a new form. The user can print the report from here, by pressing a button and being redirected to the report's URL. In this form there will be many (could be alot) of IDs that I will need to pass to the report and the report will use these as a parameter. The problem is that I am passing it at the moment as a comma deliminated string so instead of the SQL doing this : "ID in ('1', '2')", it's d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using MXDW

  I would like to use MXDW to create XPS documents from any application. But I would like to automate the creation by automating the printing process. But when I try to do this it always comes up with the "save as" dialog box. I had the same problem using the MODI driver as well. Does anyone know how to get rid of that Any samples will be helpful. Hello Tibi and XPSUser, I am fixed in exactly the same case as XPSUser. Tibi I doubt we can create a port monitor, as you told it does more than what we see. Please suggest if there is any other way of getting rid of that "save as" dialog box. Regards, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible BlockCollection bug - Need clarification

  Not sure if this was by design or a bug. When taking blocks from the BlockCollection of a RichTextControl and adding to a FlowDocumentViewer, the source collection will suddenly wipe clean once you have added the first block of the source collection to the destination collection. ie Place a RichTextEdit and a FlowDocumentPageViewer onto a form. Enter text into the RichTextEdit making sure more than one block is entered. and have the following code execute from a button click ect FlowDocument destinationContent =(FlowDocument)flowDocumentPageViewer1.Document; FlowDocument sourceContent = (FlowDocument)richTextBox1.Document; Block currentBlock = sourceContent.Blocks.FirstBlock; for (Int32 blockIndex = 1; blockIndex < sourceContent.Blocks. ...Show All

• .NET Development Send object to Client from Server using TCP/IP

• Visual C# Sorting 'complex' objects...

  Hello all, Just say I have an arraylist of objects (all of the same type) and say these objects are 'Person' objects. So each person has instance variables. such as firstname, surname, etc. I wish to sort this arraylist of person object references by surname. What is the easiest way to do this Thank you Chris int CompareClientsByAge ( Client c1 , Client c2 ) { return c1 . Age - c2 . Age ; } While I'm all in favor of a good shortcut, I'd still write that as: int CompareClientsByAge ( Client c1 , Client c2 ) { return c1 . Age.CompareTo( c2 .

• Windows Forms Invisible Column

  Hi all, I want to prepare 2 columns in my DGV: 1 column for displaying "text" and another one displaying "value". E.g.

• Smart Device Development Application works on one handheld but not on the other!!!

• Windows Forms [GDI+] Bitmap scaling - NearestNeighbor interpolation bug?

  Hi, Sorry if I have choosen wrong place for this thread but i think that it is rather connected with WF programming. I am actually making a tool which needs high precision while operating on bitmap (let say it is something like icon creator.). That's why I am using high zoom and pixel-grid. I have encountered a problem (bug maybe ) while using nearest neighbor interpolation. If my zoom factor is set to 8, each pixel is magnified 8 times except the "edges" of bitmap. They are resized only for only a half. And because of that the whole bitmap move slightly, and pixels are about of their grid bounds. To visualize this problem I attach screen: http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5073/bugdk7.jpg I intentionaly draw the bitmap sta ...Show All
