• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving in ComboBox

  Hello! How do i do to update Item (Collection) Can't get it to work! This code put the text into ComboBox but it doesen't save it to Item Collection Combobox1.Item.Add(TextBox1.Text) TextBox1.ResetText() TextBox1.Focus() well yes it will lose the items because you did not save them to a storage format. you can save them to a file and reload them after. example: Dim theWriter as new StreamWriter(filename) for each curItem as string in me.theComboBox.Items theWriter.WriteLine(curItem) next theWriter.Close() Dim theReader as new StreamReader(filename) do while theReader.Peek() <> -1 Me.theComboBox.Items.Add(theReader.ReadLine()) ...Show All

• Visual C++ makefile project never up-to-date

  Hi, When creating a makefile project using VS2005 that wraps a call to nmake, it seems that Visual Studio always thinks that it's out-of-date and attempts to build it. I've tried explicitly setting the output filename (in project settings, NMake, Output) but this doesn't have any effect. I have a test case that simply contains a project with a makefile that does a file copy, and you can see that VS always invokes nmake, even if the file is up-to-date. Let me know if you want it. It's not clear to me how VS infers what the output file should be compared against Am I missing something Btw, the behaviour is the same in VS2005 and SP1.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rants on XNA 1.0

  This is my first reaction when I installed and tried the 1.0 of XNA. To summarize my feeling: it's still 95% for XBox and no nearer to replace the old MDX 1.0. So I decided not to migrate from MDX to XNA though I want to do that very much. I feel like MDX 2 more; amen to MDX 2. The hardest issue for me is the content pipeline, which is very necessary, but the workflow is fixed and it assumes the contents are only built before the program runs. The helper functions wrapping D3DX can only be used with types in the content pipeline. I have to utilize the full content pipeline just for generating something dynamically, of course with significant performance cost. Or I have to write those D3DX utilities my self. Currently I don't have a good id ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Setting the Fullscreen Resolution

  Hello all, I have a very simple question that I can't seem to find a direct answer to. My Game's GraphicsComponent's backfuffer is set to 320 x 240. The game window is also 320 x 240. When I swtich to fullscreen by setting the GraphicsComponent's IsFullscreen property to true the fullscreen resolution seems to be 640 x 480. My graphics appear up in the top-left corner. How can I set the fullscreen resolution to 320 x 240 I have also been suggessted to possibly use a camera to achieve this effect. I am having problems identifying how to change the view settings at all! Do I need to use an effect just to change the view around Would this event work for my 2d situation ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Auto Permission Granting

  Is there a way of automatically granting users existing a list permission to access the site Example: Lets say that we have a list of employees information. The list contains general information of all company employees. If a new employee is created in this list, he/she should automatically be granted permission to the Employees site. Thanks in advanced. Hi, The solution you describe really depends on what version of sharepoint you are using and how authentication is being used. You will have to deal things like which authentication provider is used, if you can use eventhandlers, etc. Can you give some more information about these things Grtz, Mart ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Filtering - Use the FILTER or SQL Where clause, best practice?

  Hi all, I am developing some reports for a client and now the filterign requirements are growing. My SQL statement already contains a where clause that is becoming complex to debug. My question is: Is it better to use a SQL WHERE clause to filter or use the REPORT FILTER tab for parameters My primary concern is ease of use (and debugging) not speed. Any limitations on any of the above methods in regards to Reporting Services 2005 Cheers Damien For the ease of debugging, I would prefer using the non-Filter solution, as you can view the executed SQL statements on the SQL Server side. For performance reasons you could either do filtering or parametrizing. Why can filtering be better for perform ...Show All

• Visual Basic Permissions Issue

  I have a service which copies files from a local diretory to a remote, I set the permissions on the remote directory which to start with was the local machine to Users (DEVELOPER\Users) - DEVELOPER is the machine name everything worked fine I then used a directory on our Windows 2000 server, under the security tab it states the Everyone has full control yes the images do not copy over. It has to be a permissions issue as it works fine locally just not sure how to get around this Two things to check: 1) Which account the service is running as 2) What the permissions for the network share are (this may be different than the directory itself) Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• SQL Server Release of 1.0 product

If we were to utilize the current CTM version in shrink-wrapped software and later upgrade the Dlls (we have online updates in our shrink-wrapped software) to the 1.0 version as part of one of our own updates, would there be any incompatibilities between SQL Server Everywhere CTM version and the 1.0 version such that the database generated with the CTM version would not be compatible with the 1.0 dll's Is anyone else planning to use the CTM version We have done initial testing on the CTM version without incident, are there known ma ...Show All
