• Visual Basic Drilling From Summary Reports To Detail Reports

  I am working with a oracle 91 data base. I have 2 tables, one table is a summary table the other table is a detail table. I am trying to create a drill thru report from the summary to the detail.

• Windows Forms Locating a program's installation folder

  I have an application that will be used by other applications installed on the client machine if the other applications see that my application is installed. Currently, during installation, my application places a value in the registry that points to the location of my application's executable. When another application wishes to run my application, it can look for this value to locate the executable. This method is all fine and good for now, but we're trying to minimize how much our applications write to the registry. I'm hoping to find a method by which another application could discover the installation folder of my application, perhaps through entries created by Windows Installer during the install process. Unfortunately, I have been un ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A tutorial would be nice...

  Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a tutorial of a simple game, like tetris, breakout, space wars, asteroids, etc., that goes through, step by step, explains how "we" do this and why "we" did this. A lot of the things I read, I see such things as, "You should start simple, like a tetris style game," yet they never point you in the direction of where you might find out how to make a tetris game. From a complete noobs point of view, we're completely clueless at what we're looking at on screen, just staring at the code, trying to figure out what to do. Anyway, if anyone could help, that would be fan-tastic and much appreciated. Thanks! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Leftover pixels From DrawReversibleLine

  I am creating a drawing program...  When I draw a line I am capturing the mouse, and drawing a reversible line, which I store and redraw (to erase the line) if the mouse moves to another point.  The last line will be the the one I capture on mouse up. This works, except there are a few remaining jagged edges created during the process.  They all disappear after mouse up, but they are anoying anyway. Does anyone know how to fix this   When I have done this in the past against the Win32 API, it was very clean, and I am looking for that cleanliness. Do I have to use the API calls Thanks, Bob Do you know if this works correctly in Vista RC1 I have a similar program, in C# ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista "Publisher Not Specified" on Autoplay of application

  I'm trying to get my application to begin the installation on autoplay rather than bring up the option for the Run launcher.exe to be executed. This seems to be tied to the fact that the "Publisher is not specified" line in the .exe icon box. Can this be resolved by signing the app in install shield or another installer Sorry for creating a new thread for this but the thread i wanted to post in was locked. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hello John.Q.Francis, I have not heard of any signing requirements to just have the application launch for the autorun feature. Here is the documentation on how to use the autorun feature: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/prog ...Show All

• Visual Studio C# or C++ ?

  Dear forum, I don't know which language to choose between C# and C++. C# looks easier but can you do everything in it What about performance And will C++ still be supported in the future Thanks for any insights and best wishes for the new year Hi, C# is indeed easier to use. The main difference between the two is that you can write unmanaged code with C++ what is something that you can't do with C#. Another thing is that you can find a lot more info on programming C# then programming C++ .NET. For real performance critical applications like games etc, I would suggest C++, otherwise C# is a better choice. Greetz, Geert Geert Verhoeven Consultant @ Ausy Belgium My Per ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error writing to Application Event Log

• Visual Studio Solution/project directory structure problems

  In short, what I want to accomplish is the following structure, both on disk and within VSS: d:\projects\ -> Solutions\ -> SolutionA\SolutionA.sln -> SolutionB\SolutionB.sln -> Webs\ -> Web1\ -> Web2\ -> ClassLibs\ -> ClassLibX\ -> ClassLibY\ The whole point being that the total number of projects is so high that I want to have separate solution files for smaller parts of the complete solution, all the while referencing both class lib and web projects that are common to all solutions. For this reason I'm not especially fond of VS/VSS forcing me to have them all directly beneath the solution folder. All I want is these programs to behave, and store whatever structure I tell them to. ...Show All
