• .NET Development Problem with List<>

  Hi, I have a list of type ParseInfo...it's a class of properites. The List is called PitzuParseInfo. So it's List<ParseInfo> PitzuParseInfo; After every iteration of a loop I add the instance of this class 'm_parseInfo' to the list.... PitzuParseInfo.Add(m_parseInfo). My problem is after every iteraction of the loop ALL my entries in the List are equal to the last iteration...i.e after 6 iteractions PitzuParseInfo[0],[1],[2],[3],[4] are identical to [5]. They should all be unique. It's like they are being added by reference. Can anyone help Hi, Probably you are missing a "m_parseInfo=new ParseInfo();" in your code, resulting in changing the same object instance. ...Show All

• .NET Development Best/fastest way to save a large DataTable a database?

  Hey, Whats the best way to save a rather large DataTable to a database It consists of roughly 60 columns and 15 thousand records (6MB of raw text). I was thinking of using a stored procedure but would that give any performance increases on an operation like this Thanks! Regards, Weiran. So I can't pass greater than 10MB into the sproc at one time Thats fair enough 10K records roughly equals 10MB and that works fine. Do you have any ideas to my other question Which was how to stop it overwriting on insertion Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting images to Pipeline without XNA Game Studio?

  Is there a tool available to convert / view XNA Pipeline files Reason being, is that the person doing the art would generally want to try changes images etc.. without having to have Express installed etc... I'm probably beating him to the punch but Shawn Hargreaves wrote a wonderful blog piece about just this idea last night. Basically, there is an MSBUILD task to convert images to the XNB format. Therefore, you could write a converter or content builder to provide a GUID for your content developers or you could just have them monkey with XML MSBUILD Files....

• .NET Development Concurrency Violation When Updating MS Access Db

  I am working on a VB .Net 2005 application with a MS Access database backend. I am able to add a new row to a datatable via a DataGridView control. After invoking the Update method on the TableAdapter, I have verified the new row is written to the Access database with the values I've entered. This problem is I get a concurrency violation error when attempting to save (update) a subsequent edit of the newly added row. I am the only person making edits to this database. This row does contain an autonumber field. Making the TableAdapter.Fill call again to refresh the datatable after initially adding the row corrects the problem, but seems inefficient and causes the selected item in the grid control to be reset. I suspect I need to refresh my ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I format user input (1 shows up as 001)

  I need to know how to convert numerical data so it always shows up in the format of 001,002, 003, 004, etc. when a user enters 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Using VB.NET 2003, how do I write the code to convert it like this Thanks.

• .NET Development vfpoledb & cdx > dbf problems

  When I try to open, (i.e. join), .dbf files using vfpoledb and there are .cdx files present in the free table directory. It will not work. I get a prompt for a 'convcpp.prg'. This must be a run-time expression compiler or something. I am using C# over FoxPro and VFP tables. When I copy the .dbf and .fpt files to another directory, then I have no problem with the vfpoledb data access. I don't get these prompts with the ODBC drivers. Is there a way to specify in a connection string for vfpoledb to ignore .cdx files A read-only scenario for my vfpoledb connection would suffice for now... and what are those prompts for .prg I've never used FoxPro or VFP. My problems show when I try to query with joins, which is what the .cdx files concern t ...Show All

• Visual C++ ConnectEx (WinSock) question

  I can't seem to find an appropriate forum for my question, this ones description indicates that libraries are "on topic", so I hope that a WinSock related question is appropriate here. If not, my apologies. I am using the WinSock extension function ConnectEx in my networking service application that I have written. I recently ran into a situation in which the asynchronous ConnectEx was not completing (I'm using i/o completion ports) in a reasonable amount of time because the remote machine had a firewall enabled that was blocking my attempted connection. The question I have is, what failure condition should I expect in this case When I use normal sockets "connect", I can make it non-blocking and then time out after som ...Show All

• Visual Basic Commanding a Click Event

  I have a windows form application developed in vb.net 2003. The application uses a mainmenu and contextmenus. I am interested in how to expand one of my mainmenu menuitems by command rather than physically clicking it. For example, if I have a mainmenu control on my form with 5 menuitems: item1, item2, ---,item5 across the top of my form. How can I from a botton click event, command the item2 menu items to automatically expand and show the available submenu items as if I had clicked on item2 on the form Thanks, I don't know an easy way to expand a menu... You can use SendKeys to simulate the key press action and expand menus... so SendKeys.Send( "%" ) <--- Simulate ALT key that activ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Delete a range in VSO

  I would like to delte a range of a certain column. What is wrong with this code The Delete method takes an optional parameter according to MSDN documentation but in this case it is mandatory. Any ideas Thanks ! Excel. Range col; Object skift= null ; Object ret = null ; col = range.Columns[1, Constants .missing] as Excel. Range ; ret = col.Delete(skift); As Misha replied C# does not support optional paramentrs. Instead, in C# you need to pass System.Type.Missing. VSTO projects already create for you the 'missing' object which you can use. e.g ret = col.Delete(missing); Thanks, Mei ...Show All
