• Visual Studio Rendering Server Report To Printer

  Having just tested my applications print function with an actual printer and not the Document Imager, I have discovered that using the reportviewer.printdialog provides printouts once in a while when it feels like it, having just posted asking how to suppress the dialog box it seems somewhat ironic that the only way I can actually get the report to the printer is to display it twice per report :) I can render an image to the printer directly and it comes out every time however I am unable to print any pages after the first page. I started by taking the following article and attempting to send a server report. This seems OK however the code sample creates a stream per page, when I render I create 1 stream. Is there an easier way to do ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 vs Visual Basic 2005

  Personal Background : I've been programming client/server Access applications with lots of VBA code for over 10 years. Now, I'm moving into the .NET and WWW arena. Question 1: I want to get on the .NET band wagon and create WebSites as well as desktop and client/server applications. I thought I needed Visual Studio.NET. It looks like the latest version is Visual Studio 2005. Is 2005 just a more recent versin of VisualStudio.NET Question 2: Do I need Visual Basic to create Client/Server and desktop applications or is this redundant because this can also be handled by Visual Studio. Question 3: I plan on learning with Visual Studio 2005 Express and Visual Basic 2005 Express. AT what point does EXPRESS become inadequate I' ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Animation not holding.

  I implemented a menu tray that raises and lowers. It worked in the first version of the iHDSim, but in the new version the menu tray raises and then disappears. Then the lower tray button key assignment will make the tray appear again and then lower. Why is the tray not staying visible <style id="BUTTON_TRAY" style:backgroundImage="url('MENU/BTN_TRAY.png')" style:position="absolute" style:x="190px" style:y="720px" style:width="900px" style:height="200px" /> <!-- effects for raising and lowering menu tray --> <g id="RaiseTray"> <animate style:y="720px;520px" /> </g> <g id="LowerTray"> <ani ...Show All

• Visual Basic Icons in custom-made dialog boxes

  I have just created a custom-made dialog box using the Add Windows Form command under the Project menu of Visual Studio 2005. Now I've run into a bit of a problem: Remember those icons (information, question, warning, error) in those dialog boxes you're always seeing I want to know how I can implement those in my custom-made dialog box I would appreciate a response as soon as possible. Thank you. Hi, I guess you can use an imagelist control to save your images in your dialog. Just access the imagelist and display the content specified using an image control. cheers, Paul June A.

  I want to write a vba script to change all the links in the linked tables in an mdb file to link sql server database. Also, if you think of a better way to do this than writing a vba script, tell me. If you know how to do this using the upsize wizard (which mean using the same data that in the mdb files) , I will be interested to hear too.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Major bug in Vista File Sharing (Peer-to-Peer)?

  Major bug in Vista File Sharing (Peer-to-Peer) Description: Microsoft Vista will lockup when more than one Vista workstation attempts to access the same file in a shared folder at the same time. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install a new copy of Vista (Does not matter what version) on two different computers. 2. Install a new copy of MS Office 2003 each computer. 3.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Keeping game graphics the same size over different resolutions

  I implemented a virtual pixel system in Buttermilk to try and keep all the graphics of a game the same size no matter what the preferred back buffer resolution was. Unfortunately, due to accuracy problems with SpriteBatch.Draw's int-based coordinate parameters, cracks keep appearing between my tiles, and tiles sizes shrink / grow depending on how the float coordinate value of the tile translates to the int-based coordinate parameters. I've tried all different kinds of Math routines (Floor on the pos, Ceiling on the Size, Round on everything, etc etc etc) but nothing work as well as it needs to. So, I'm probably going to completely abandon the virtual pixel system. It's just not working at all. But, I still need some way to keep game ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare

  I have 2 questions about the Schema Compare functionality in DB Pro: 1.)On a DB that has replication enabled, and is being Published from, there will be extra replication triggers on the selected table objects (e.g., Articles) that SQL Server inserts at the time of setting up replication. Further more, given two databases with identical schemas, the replication related triggers placed on the included table objects will not be named the same. This appears to be because the strategy chosen by Microsoft to name the replication triggers includes GUIDs. That said, in my particular situation, there are Update & Delete triggers on these tables, too, that we have created on our tables. So, is there some way when doing a Schema Compare in D ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow User Defined Control

  I'm creating a custom control that has contained within it a large number of buttons. The code is extremely slow (taking about 12 seconds to display). I've had no success in making it faster. The problem seems to be centered around a single statement: Controls.Add(my_button_ctl); I tried to use the Controls.AddRange(...) member instead of Add(), but there was no speed improvement as was implied in the documentation. If I remove the Controls.Add() call (or AddRange), the display is almost instant. Is anyone aware of a way to speed up a user defined control that contains a large number of button controls In my case there are up-to 550 buttons contained on the control and I would like to get them displayed in under 1 second.

• Visual Basic Drawing Control

  Hi all I am trying to create a control to do something similar as a Visio drawing, but I don't have Visio on my PC to use their drawing tool. I want to drag images from a ListView into a PictureBox or something more usefull and at the end of the day have a flowchart with alot of custom functionalities that Visio does not offer at this stage. I have managed to get the dragging and dropping done, but it drops the image in the top left corner of the PictureBox, and I want the image to be dropped at the point where the mouse is. I would also want to be able to resize the image as well as possibly reposition it once it has been added to the PictureBox. Is this possible, or are there another control that I can use/download for free Thank You ...Show All
