• Windows Search Technologies Windows Desktop Search component crashes every time when shutting down XP

• Software Development for Windows Vista Re-enabling Windows Vista features

  Hello, I know this topic might be a little off topic but I can not find a better forum to ask! So my apologies for that. Here is what is happening. I have a computer that support Aero. IT was enabled and was working perfectly. In the process of installing the machine, Vista asked me if I wanted to disable the Windows Vista features (ie: aero for that matter) and I've accepted thinking it would help the install. While it did, it completely removed the possibility to enable the specific features of Vista. One of the manifestation is in the Personalization screen, selecting Window Color and Appearance shows on the Appearance screen despite the Theme being set to Windows Vista. I also do have the Show window previews in the taskba ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rendering multiple viewports

  Hello community, I've created a couple of components that allows you to render a 3d model in space, and it has a camera that allows you to move around in space. Right now, I want to be able to define multiple viewports with different camera angles so I can view the scene from different perspectives. I know it isn't quite hard to accomplish this with MDX, however I can't find any code on how to control the device using XNA. All help is very appreciated, thanks!

• SQL Server SQL profiler not reading application names

  Hi guys, Im not really sure how complicated this is but we shall see. Im running a .exe compiled from 4GL which accesses the database. But when I run a trace on the database no application name is picked up. Does anyone know how SQL profiler finds the application name or what is required in the .exe file for SQL profiler to see the application name This would be a great help if anyone has any information. Many thanks, Querix There are a couple of ways that the name is populated. You'll often want to combine the application name with NT User Name and SQL User Name. The application reports the application name, and not all of them do. The name normally comes from the the connection string: server=My ...Show All

• Visual C# why is not possible to color DataGridView cells in DataGridView during runtime???

  Hello! I have a question about colouring DataGridViewCells. I have a DataGridView made by VS2005 designer. I binded this DataGridView to a DataTable (dgv.DataSource = dataTable). Everything is OK, and the grid is displayed fine. But when I want to colour some cells in DataGridView during runtime simply nothing happens. For example myDataGridView.Rows[1].Cells["MyColumnName"].Style.BackgroundColor = Color.Red. Wen I change cells value, everything is fine, for example: myDataGridView.Rows[1].Cells["MyColumnName"].Value = "whatever". I tried also MyDataGridView.refresh()... Interesting thing is, that it is possible to colour cells from events...it works fine. But I need to do this during the runtime.. ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to register a hot key by using scan code

  Is there any way to register a hot key by using scan code Since RegisterHotKey() only accepts virtual key code as the fourth parameter, apparently I need to convert the scan code into a virtual-key code. However, unlike other extended keys, that cannot be done because the key I want to monitor does not have corresponding virtual key code. I tried MapVirtualKeyEx() to convert the scan code, but no valid result was obtained. I suppose it is possible if one of the following could be done. 1. somehow registering hot key with scan code 2. adding new virtual key code for the key to the current layout I know I can monitor the key if I use the keyboard hook, but I would rather stay away from it for some reason. Any help would be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions delimiting a CSV file with too many commas

  I have a webrequest that returns a stream from a CSV file which i first delimit using the split(controlchars.lf). This works great; however when I try to break down each line into elements using split(","c) it creates too many elements because some of the fields have names which contain commas. I tried using quotes but that does not work either because some names have quotes in them. The CSV files have nearly a thousand rows each so manually manipulating the data would be too cumbersome. Any ideas on how to delimit this string so that i can load the data into a dataset example of data: Ticker list as of 11/30/06 (need to skip or delete) "Name","Symbol","Market Cap","Shares Outstanding& ...Show All
