• Visual Studio Auto Add Child Elements

  Hi, In my DSL I have an entity called "Component" which has two childs "Implementation" and "Contract". I created a domain class and a shape for each of these logical entities and a tool for adding a Component. I now want to have 'Contract' and 'Implementation' added automatically each time I drag&drop a 'Component'. I tried to create them by overwritting the Component constructor, unfortunatly this causes side effectes and the childs are created several times. Furthermore it would be cool to have them positioned right beyond the parent (component). Can anybody give me a hint on this thx alot cheerio Silvan Hi SilvanG, If you're only creating your Components from the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is it possible to build a db program without Activesync?

  As title, I need to build a project without Activesync. But how to update the DB file with the DB server Can I use USB connection the share the local computer connection (so that i dun need to build wi-fi network). But in that way, can i connect with out activesync I understand it is possible to change the setting on Pocket PC emulator to share the internet connection with local PC, but how about real Pocket PC device  Please help If you're not using AS it's best to forget about USB connection. Consider it useless unless there’s AS on another side to back it up. It might be somewhat functional under WM 5.0 but not as functional as with AS. If you have Wi-Fi (or any other TCP/IP network) Pocket ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What I would like to see in ADO.NET 3.0

  Hi; I think the following would be a gigantic help for a lot of people (all being standard calls so we do not have to write selects on a per vendor basis): Enumerate servers works for all ADO.NET clients (ie - it's a required feature). For a given server - enumerate all databases (schemas in Oracle's case). For a given database/schema - enumerate all tables, views, and stored procedures - can filter by user vs system ones. For a table/view - get all columns. Get an autocreated primary key from an insert. Create a connection string form standard parameters (server, database, uname/pw or truested). Run a script (to create a database, etc). The script would be vendor specific but being able to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development update UI from Thread - control.invoke or controlinvoker?

  This is a CF 1.0 application. I need to load an image in a background thread and use it in the UI thread. I'm a little confused. There have been tutorials that have the background thread write to a public variable in the Form, then Control.Invoke when they're finished to have the UI thread update the form. (No locking). This looks very simple, I'd like to do it this way. The following is the way the tutorial described - the thread writes directly to the Form, but not to any control on the form. Is that "legal" public class MainFrame : Form { private int progressBar1Status = 0; public MainFrame() { InitializeComponent(); DoThreading(); } public void DoThreading() { Thread t = new Thread( ne ...Show All

• Visual Basic how can i do with " in vb

  how can I do with " in vb , I want replace " to & email:huangzhixing@hteb.com In practice I believe that one should interact with objects directly whenever comparable functionality is available. Why ask a function to do a replace on an outside string when you could ask the string to do it itself It would be like looking up someone's phone number whom you could ask directly. On the note about "typing too much hurts my feelings": variable.Replace(oldText, newText) requires 1 less character than Replace(variable, oldText, newText) and the latter doesn't even give Intellisense. in all fairness the OO syntax is really just syntactic sugar over the procedural (so to speak). However there are a few ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 Boat game with source

  Hello I was playing about again the last 4 days and come up with a little boat game for the 360. The source code is very untidy but there might be something of use in there for some people. It was written for use on the 360, it might work ok for the PC. You can have 1 to 4 players and it uses some ai for the others. There's only 1 track at the moment - I may get around to fixing it all up into a proper game if there's enough interest or if an artist wants to help out. It plays a different sound effect when you cross the line and beat your own best score. My best lap is 8.07 (no down to a 7.96) seconds.   Best to use a 360 pad but here's some keys if you feel the need.   Q and E change the number of players ...Show All

• .NET Development Need some advice on how to approach this problem (web service calling C# application methods)

  Hi everyone, I've been working on a solution to this project I was assigned, and after working on it for a couple days I thought maybe I was approaching it the wrong way. Basically what I need to do is to get a web service to access an a method or two on a locally running C# Windows application (Like for example have the web service send a string to an int method on the C# application). The way I have approached it thus far is by having the application register itself with the ROT, and then attempting to grab it via Monikers, etc. I've moved along pretty far with it thus far, but then thought that it could possibly be easier by creating a COM server/client type thing, with the C# application being the server and the web service being a "te ...Show All
