• Visual Studio Express Editions Open/Close Forms

  Hello, Seven Forms. The first one is a MenuForm with 5 Buttons. Each Buttons on this Forms opens one other Form. The MenuForm is always open, and there should be no more than one other Form open at the time. (Form3 opens from inside of Form2).

• .NET Development advpack.dll error, different than the other topic.

  When I attempt to install .NET Framework 2.0 x64, it comes up with this error: "Error creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\Steven\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\Install.exe>. Reason: C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll" Anyone know what this is and what I can do to remedy it EDIT: Also, I've tried extracting it manually by invoking /C. Then it says the install is invalid. Maybe this suggestion by TheAmiMan in another thread will help. solution: in the environment variables change both the TEMP and the TMP from the x:\documents and Settings\user\... To c:\Temp or any other folder. for me it works... greetz ...Show All

• SQL Server AS 2005 cube browsing with an unprocessed measure group

    Hi, Is it possible to browse a AS 2005 cube in the Cube browser without having processed one of the measure groups. These measure groups only share a few dimensions and are independent of each other. Is there a way to browse the cube without having to delete the unprocessed measure group in the AS project/Mgmt studio There is no real option to disable a measure group though. Regards   Yes. You should be able to clear one of the measure groups in your cube and still be able to browse the cube.You can send ProcessClear command for that. Another idea is to create a Perspective and select into it on the measures and dimensions you interested to show to your users. Edward. -- This posting is provided &q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need Info On The Basics

  OK, Ive read a large part of this forum and HAVE recieved alot of answers. With that said, over the past few days Ive been burshing up on my old C++ skills and plan to start learning C# here in the next week. My plan is to do this as a Hobby (Mainly cause Im an electrician with a family) so ive set some really long goals. Im not expecting to pump out a 3d game in a year. Ive been very interested in writing code for years now and have been a lover of Game design ever since Missle Command came out in the Arcade (Just Dated Myself). Since Ive taken this up, a Tattoo Artist buddy of mine has become interested inthe graphic end of the whole thing. So in short, what would be a great 3D design software for a begineer (with years of drawing expert ...Show All

• Visual Basic Retrieve User AD GUID

  I am creating several VB.net apps that store and retrieve records to and from SQL 2005. With some of this data I need to track who created/edited the data. I know how to retrieve the users login name, but I need a more unique ID since over time someone else might get the same login name with user accounts created and deleted over time. Is there a simple property simular to system.enviroment.username that will expose the users GUID or do I need to use a control like Directory Searcher you maybe talking about the SID. You can get the SID of an account using WMI add a reference to System.Management and import the namespaces, System.Management and System.Management.Instrumentation. Then try this: Dim se ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat File Source Problem...

  I have a weird thing happening. I have an .csv file. When I try to load it into a table, I can do it easily in DTS 2000. But when I am trying to do it in SSIS 2005 with exactly the same settings (like Text qualifier, row delimiter etc.), I am getting an error: "The last row in the sampled data is incomplete. The column or the row delimiter may be missing or the text is qualified incorrectly." I looked at the file and it looks complete to me. What could be the problem P.S. DTS 2000 is on 32-bit Windows, and SSIS 2005 is on 64-bit Windows 2003 . Could that we a problem It is true that the parsing behavior in SSIS is very different from DTS 2000. DTS was very forgiving as Phil mentioned, and there ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Meshes with materials

  Took a look at the content pipeline today. Built a new SpaceWar game from the beta 2 release, then went to look at how the models are loaded/rendered. All the rendering code is still manual. For example the materials (colors/textures/whatever) are specified manually. I'm assuming this is due to the beta 2 deadline (I know how those are :-)). The questions is, is there a way to extract that information from the Model instance Does the .xnb itslef support this data or does the Model .xnb just hold the meshes Which part of the contnt build process do the xxx~0.xml files belong to (they seem to hold the info I'm talking about, but where does it go eventually) Thanks for any help So how does one render a model complete with the te ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ delete[] operator with multiple arrays

  I'm trying to figure out how exactly the delete[] operator works with multiple arguments. Say I have some large arrays created: double *a, *b; float *c; long long *d, *e; long w = 1024, h = 1024; a = new double[2*w*h]; b = new double[2*w*h]; c = new float[w*h]; d = new long long[w*h]; e = new long long[w*h]; When it comes time to de-allocate them, I had them all in a single delete[] statement: delete[] a, b, c, d, e; Well, this appears to only be de-allocating a and completely ignoring b, c, d, and e, still taking up large amounts of memory. In order to get them all de-allocated, I had to use 5 delete statements: delete[] a; delete[] b; delete[] c; delete[] d; delete[] e; Is this how the delete[] operator is supposed to work wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow performance of DataSet.Clear() in .Net 2.0?

  I want to clear the DataSet and call GC to release memory from my application when the form is closed. ds.Clear(); ds.Dispose(); GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); However, I found that performance of calling Clear() is very slow for large DataSet in .Net 2.0, any workarounds or solution to this performance problem Thank you very much!!! I would remove the GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() because it will cause the program to stop until all the trash is taken out. GC.Collect will get the job done in the background. ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Flow Task - OLEDB Source / Destination

  Hi Inside a data flow task, i have a oledb source and destination. In my situation, I need to pull data from a table in the source, but also hard code some columns myself, which means my source is a blend of data from table, hard coded data, which will then have to be mapped to columns in oledb destination. Does anyone which option to choose in the oledb source dropdown for the data access mode. Keep in mind, i do need to run a a select query, as well as get data from a table. Is it possible to use multiple oledb sources and connect to one destination, because that is really what intend to do here. I am not sure how it will work, or even if its possible. Basically my source access mode needs to be a blend of sql command and table column ...Show All
