  I'm trying to display a list of grouped items in a WrapPanel under a header with the name of the group.

• Windows Forms Binding SQL Query Result to DataGridView Dynamically

  I am trying to take text from a Rich Text Box and execute that code as an SQL command. Then, the resulting table should be displayed in a DataGridView. Currently, I have it so the SQL command is working properly, but I can't figure out how to bind the data that I have to the DataGridView, or at least display it. I don't want to bind the data through Visual Studio's GUI because the SQL query can be performed on any of four tables within my data set. Here is a screen shot of what I am trying to accomplish. Here is the code that I have so far. It performs the connection, executes the command, and prints two columns of the resulting table in the console: Private Sub btnExecute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and REST design

  I'm puzzling through a design issue for a suite of services we're implementing. My initial inclination for designing a Web service is to expose methods for entities. For example, if I have a Dog entity, I would have a service that implements a Bark and WagTail Web method. I've recently been looking at an alternative that rather decomposes these methods into seperate services. So, using my earlier example, we would have two services: Dog.Bark and Dog.WagTail, each with a Get method. I've made this very simply to help define the problem (I hope). This is a REST-like approach to service design (which I am not completely sold on because I don't really see how this makes client implementations any easier). From a configuration and deployment pe ...Show All

• Visual C# Inheritance Bugs in Windows Forms

  I'm using the Visual Studio 2005 to do WinForms development and have been repeatedly running into problems with inheritance. What happens is that sometimes when I override methods in a base class the override isn't called - but the base class method is called instead. I've verified repeatedly that the code is correct, the method signatures match, and the override should be called (polymorphically) rather than the base class method - and yet it calls the base method instead. I haven't seen in in none Form-based classes so far, but I've seen it several times in specialized Forms that I've created. In each case, the problem is the same. The base class method is invoked rather than the override method. It appears to be a bug in the compiler. N ...Show All

• Visual C++ Access to Members of Top Level Class

  If an object is declared as top level (^) how can you access its members For example: public ref struct DictionaryPath { public: DictionaryPath() {} ~DictionaryPath(){} String^ dictName; String^ dictPath; }; DictionaryPath myPath; // members can be accessed. DictionaryPath^ myPath; // now it is an "undefined object" whoose contents cannot be seen. Scrap that, I worked it out. I still have a couple of questions though: Is there an equivalent of an address of "&" for top level classes Also, when declaring an array of classes or structs, what is the best way to fill them array<DictionaryPath^,1>^ dictionaryPath = gcnew arr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Serial Communication at 230400 baud rate

  I am creating a DLL for serial communication using VC6.0. I can achieve communication with baud rates up to 115200 using the CBR_115200 constant in WINBASE.h. I need 230400 but it does not exist and MSDN does not support 230400, it jumps from 115200 to 256000. I have tried adding CBR_230400 to WINBASE.h with no success, can any provide any information for using Microsoft's serial functions (DCB) with 230400 baud rate have tried CBR_256000 with device set to its max of 230400 -- didn't work. Max baud rate on serial device is 230400, so 256000 didn't work. Why would Microsoft design Hyperterminal with 230400 and WINBASE.h without it pelase help. You haven’t mentioned your system specifications. For how hardware affec ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) namescope and resources

  when the xaml is parsed and the namescope is built I can access the names directly using c# without the need to traverse the element tree as they are part of the root element. However I cannot access the names of objects that are part of a resource element, such as viewport.resources or grid.resources. Instead I have to set up a variable and 'Find' the name in the resource before assigning it to the c# variable. I have looked at the documentation for this but not found anywhere that explains why resource objects are treated differently than non-resource objects. My only guess is that although the resources are named and have been parsed they are effectively outside of the namescope as they are not considered 'active' until called ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture alpha channel problem

  Is there a way to apply 2 alpha textures to a single polygon (with one draw call) What I mean is: I have GUI interface in my application, where everything is a textured quad. When I render a sprite (textured quad that has its own alpha channel) inside a "window" I need to clip it to the window edges (irregular boundaries). I already use SCISSORTEST to make simple rectangular clipping possible, but would like to be able to do something similar to Macromedia Flash's mask object. Ideally I'd like to have two alpha channels that would have a cumulative effect, and probably two sets of u/v coordinates as well.
