• Visual FoxPro find/search button

  anyone can teach me...hw can i create a find or search button in a form in visual foxpro or give me a simple example of coding thanks.. Yes you were explaining it to a beginner and that is the main reason it was bad. A beginner would take your considerations seriously without judging while an expert could easily see why he shouldn't do it like that. For a beginner you should be simple and advice ways that he could practically use later. An expert would question your suggestions. ie: Create a new project - Why I don't need a project for that, furthermore I wouldn't want a generic search to be part of any project. Use ... in load. Why Maybe I want a generic search form. Typically I would then pass the ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Set Cursor Image

  How can I add an image to the cursor I've tried: CursorManager.setImage(" file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/cursor.png "); and CursorManager.Image=" file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/cursor.png "; but that won't work. Also I've attached an optical mouse to the Toshiba's USB port but it doesn't seem to work but using the remote controller in cursor mode works. This should work: CursorManager.setImage( "file:///dvddisc/ADV_OBJ/cursor.png" , 0, 0); where 0, 0, are the x,y coordinates of the hotspot of the cursor (so 0, 0 would be the top left corner of the cursor). Also cursor.png needs to be listed as a resource in the manifest and playlist. Hope this helps, --Rankin [edit: I misstyped the uri before as begin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack

  I'm new to this forum. I hope you can help me. I'm using the Enterprise edition of VS 2005. When I debug my project an exception is raised - 'Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack'. I can't find anything about this on-line. I suspect this message is hiding the true exception. Does anyone know what this message means Regards, Andy Ham I have received the "Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack" but only when I am trying to perform a redirect from within a try catch block. If I move the redirect outside the block it works fine. I created a bool value th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating a terrain using ContentPipeline and XmlImporter (or a custom importer / processor)

  Here's my situation: I want to create a text file describing terrain attributes, like heightmap file (raw or an image format), colormap, detailmap and splatting maps. Only the heightmap file and format will be required in this file, so the colormap, detailmap and splatting maps are optional. I then want to add this file to my XNA game project and have it pack a .xnb file containing this data. Ideally, when I do this in my game's LoadContent method: Terrain t = contentManager.Load<Terrain>(@"Content\Terrain\Test"); I should get the terrain object back ready to use, with whatever options I set in it. I couldn't get custom importers and processors to work, so I'll come back to that later, but I did get XmlImporter working with ...Show All

• SQL Server BACKUP

  I need to start backing up my databases. They are almost past debug stage and about to be filled with data I will value. So far I have been copying the whole directory to an external HDD (USB connection) but I never restored anything from the backup. My databases are simple: No web connections, there is only one client: my C# application and most likely this will remain so for a long time. The databases may grow in size considerably, however. I looked into BACKUP command. I have the following questions: (1) What is wrong with simply doing it the way I've done it so far: copying a directory (2) I found a post by Glen WIlson at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=487447&SiteID=1 where he offers a C# code for a dat ...Show All

  hello fellow programmers, i was just having some problems on how to make an asynchronous call. well, can someone show me a very simple program thats uses asynchronous calls thanks in advance! Can you be a little more specific Let me see if I have some code examples. Also HttpWebRequest has examples of Asychronous use in the Help Files.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DreamBuildPlay - Any advantage to submitting early?

  For the DreamBuildPlay contest, is it better for me to take every last minute until the submission deadline to tweak my game or is there some advantage to submitting earlier If you're done already, you could just let your finished one sit there and start on another entry. You still have a week and you can submit more than one entry. Better chances to win, especially if you don't think there's much to add to your current one. @Lima Beans - it's probably because nobody wants to give anyone else ideas. a couple of ideas here and there could make or break your game. Although I'm sure that afterwards, you'll probably be seeing a torrent of blogs/tutorials/walkthroughs in how people created their games. ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Web.Mail Help Please...

  Hello, I've tried searching and searching, but I've had no real luck. I'm working on sending an email via an external SMTP server (I'm trying to use Gmail.com, could this be a problem ) and then send to another email, which also happens to be a Gmail.com address. Now, before posting my code, I'd like to say, what I'm developing this for is basically a plugin for a program based on .NET 1.1, so I don't believe that System.Net.SmtpClient is an option, so therefore I'm stuck with System.Web.Mail. You may want to get a netmon capture to see what is really going on the wire. What I would do is to start with OUTLOOK express or somthing that works. get a capture. Then use CDO and then get another capture we can see what the differences ...Show All
