• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML Navigation and Control Access

  Can someone provide direction on how I might achieve the following I have an empty Main Page (PageMain.xml) in which I have navigated to another page file (in an external project). Within PageMain I would like to access controls on this new page which I have just navigated. I haven't been able to find resources yet. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. In the app I set the StartupUri to my blank page. After it's loaded I call my Init method which has the following: NavigationWindow navWindow; navWindow = ( NavigationWindow ) App .Current.MainWindow; UiPageIUIMain pageIUIMain = new UiPageIUIMain (); <-- This is defined in an external project pa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP authentication failed

  Hi, I have browsed this forum, and I found similar question, but none of the solutions have worked for me, so maybe I am doing something silly. However, let me try to describe what I am doing (I am fairly new to wcf programming). I managed to reproduce this same problem with the selfhost application (an example on the SDK, with the ICalculator). The problem manifests itself only when the client and the service aren't running in the same domain. If they are in the same domain (on different machines), everything runs fine. If I try to run the service inside a specific domain, and the client outside (say, just logged in locally into the machine), I get the following: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.Security.Sec ...Show All

• Visual C++ Clock

  How would I code a live simple 12 hour format clock that keeps up with my system's clock on my program with "hours, minutes, and seconds" on a status strip on the bottom right Oh, sorry, you're using C++. Are you using managed C++ If so, you have access to the datetime class. You'd also have access to the Timer class. System.Windows.Forms.Timer t = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(); t.Tick += new EventHandler(clockTick); t.Interval = 500; t.Start(); private void clockTick( object sender, EventArgs ea) { string time = DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString(); } That's C#, first some code in your form load event to create a timer ( actually, it should be a member variable ), and then an even ...Show All

• Visual C# ReportGeneration Application

  I have to create a web app. that prints out the statistics for student applicants in a .txt file. The data in form of Tables resides in a SQL server. Now, the user provides a date range(for eg. from 12/1/2006 to 1/1/2007) and the outputted text file will have the following: - The Number of applications received - The number of applications approved - Number of students with a criminal background and the type of background - Number of applicants who applied last year. I was wondering that from a design standpoint, what would be an elegant and effecient way to extract the data from the server, store it in some kind of data structure and output the contents in a text file. I was looking at Enterprise library and interfaces but ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Installation problem

  Hi, the installer stops with this error message: "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation". Now, I am pretty sure this is not the case ;) I am trying to install on W2.3k with VS 2005 Team Suite. Linq and the .NET v3 RC1 are already installed and work fine. Help! Best regards, Marc That's a standard Windows Installer error message. The only request we explicitly make in the installer is that the user be a member of the Administrators group in order to install, but you would have seen a different error message. Would you mind generating a Windows Installer log file and sending that to me From a command prompt, run msiexec /i ADONETVN.msi /l*v adonetvn-installation.log ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quick SpriteBatch Question

  I was looking over the Pong tutorial and notices that in the draw method, each sprite was manually drawn to the screen. I am attempting to create a test game were units can be created on the fly and there may be dozens of sprites on the screen at once. Does this mean that I will have to manually call the spritebatch method for each sprite Jake Yes, one call per sprite. As the name of the class say it will try to batch your draws together for better performance. If you want to help it by this job you should store your different sprites together in one texture and select the right part as parameter to the draw call. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindingManagerBase Position_Changed Problem

  Hey Everyone, I have a program that has several textboxes bound to 1 dataset which contains only one table. When the form loads, the data is displayed in the textboxes allowing the user to add, edit, delete, etc., as well as navigate through previously entered records. However, when trying to navigate through the records, it doesn't do anything. The recordCountLabel, which keeps track of the record number that is displayed, changes, but the first record stays on the screen. Here is a little of my code.
