• Visual Studio Preventing Widowed Footers

  I'm using the Crystal Reports that came with VS2003. I have a report that has two footers: Contract and Department. Each Department has several Contracts. When a Contract footer is encountered it forces a page break so that the items of the next contract appear on the next page. When the Department footer is to be printed I don't want it printing on the next page. Instead I want it printed just below its last Contract footer and then I want the page break to occur. But I can't figure out how to do this. Does anyone have any ideas Robert Werner Vancouver, BC I finally found an article about this: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&exter ...Show All

• Visual C# Resume the computation after an exception

  Is it possible to 'fix'in the catch block whatever caused an exception and return to the offending statement in the try block, and try it again After raising an exception, I'd like to try to resume the computation after fixing whatever went wrong. You can use Goto for example, be aware that you must implement some extra logic to only try it 5 times for example so you won't have a invinitive loop: STARTPOINT: try { // Do something } catch { GOTO STARTPOINT; } ...Show All

• .NET Development DefautValueAttribute usage

  Is the DefaultValueAttribute only to be used on a property when the property gets set to a non-zero value, since all properties are initialized to a 0 value equivalent to start I gather this is what the attribute is for, so that the serialization of the property at design time need not be done if the value to be saved matches the DefaultValueAttribute. I assume that in lieu of no DefaultValueAttribute, 0 values are never saved. However I want to make sure of my understanding of DefaultValueAttribute so that I can use it only when needed for my properties in my own components. I told you. DefaultValueAttribute has nothing to do with runtime initialization of fields to 0. The designer cannot know that you d ...Show All

• Visual C++ Vector subscript out of range - can't understand why

  I'm having a problem regarding the 'vector subscript out of range line 756' when popping back a vector after upgrading to VS2005. Pushing back still works perfectly. Searching the web I find many others with the same problem, but no explanation or way to fix it. This is purely in debug mode, no problem with mixing release mode or anything. #include "fire.h" vector < fire > MYFIRE; In main I have this function for(unsigned int i = 0 ; i < MYFIRE.size(); ++i) {     MYFIRE.DoPhysics(MYTIMER.getdelta_time());         if(MYFIRE.Pos().X()>400)         {         for(int j = i; j < MYFIRE.size(); ++j)     ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting my window to Bottommost, or Always on Bottom...

  Alright so there's all these programs out there that are either gadget/widget managers, individual gadgets, or whatever... and they are all bottommost, or, "on the desktop layer". How can I make my WPF application "always on bottom " I've Googled this for almost an hour now, and am not getting very good results, if any at all. None for WPF, even. WPF apps are perfect for making desktop gadgets, and in order to make it a "real" gadget, it needs to be a bottommost window. One result I Googled had some Win32 API code ( SetWindowPos(); ) in it that this guy tried in his WPF app, with no luck... and still waiting for an answer over there at AeroXperience forums. Does anyone know Thanks! Andy ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to debug DLL?

  Hi, I have a dll written in C++ (6.0 MFC). The functions of this dll is called by an application I just started in C# 2005 Express edition. I read about how to call a dll in C#, but my problem is the reverse situation. I need to debug the dll to find out if all parameters are passed correctly from C# to the dll functions. But if I set the exe file compiled from the C# to test the dll, it does not even start (it does when I start outside of the C++ debugger). What is wrong and what can I do I would be grateful for any help. Peter I tried VS2003 and chose Native Code. This is what I got: (Disassembly cannot be displayed in run mode.) I more or less gave up on VS 6.0, tho ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Run a Xoml from console application.

  I'm having a hard time trying to run the workflows, created by the designer lab (lab 10), from a console application. Composing the workflows in the designer, results with XOML and Rules files. Now all i need is an exe that gets the xoml and rules path as parameters, and runs the workflow. I've build a console application based on the run() and Compile() methods in the designer lab, the compilation succeeds but when i try to run the workflowinstance, it fails. it seems to me like a MUST feature, somehow i should allow users to run the xoml's they've composed, withought openning the designer or visual studio. thanks. urir wrote: 1. create workflow instance based on xmlreader (res ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Print Spooler won't start

  Can anyone help solve this problem, all printers have dissappeared from printers and faxesm any attempt to add printer says print spooler not running. I have followed Microsoft suggestions for restarting and get errors 1068 and 1053, nothing seems to work. I am trying to avoid a reformat if at all possible. The problem occured shortly after installing a new printer Lexmark 6200, though not immediately. I was able to use the new printer for 2 days, I then took my laptop to work and used it with other printers at work. At home again used the Lexmark and then next day at work no printers. A problem with the lexmark looping in scanner mode was stopped by removing the usb cord which iam concerned may have caused some sort of corruptio ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA framework for non C#

  One of the great advantages of the .NET framework is that developers can work on the same project in different programming languages. As I'm reading about XNA, it seems that this will not be possible with the XNA framework. Will the only programming language that has access to the XNA framework be C# It should probably include support for VB.net as well at a minimum. Alot of web programers use VB.net, as well there is that crowd of former VB6 programmers who made the jump to vb.net. Why should they be excluded ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Numeric performance on 360

  A question for the framework/VM guys... I have ported one of my simpler benchmarks to the 360, and find that the numeric performance is running 5x slower than my 2.8GHz P4 desktop. Now I was expecting a drop in performance on the 360, allowing for the difference in CPU implementation (in order execution / branch prediction etc), but nothing like this magnitude! The benchmark simply transforms a source array of Vector4s to a destination array of Vector4s, using a 4x4 matrix. Have you guys done any benchmarking of pure numeric perf, and if so is this in line with what you get Andy.

• Gadgets SetPreference does not always work?

  I never had this problem before, but in my latest gadget it seems that setpreference does not always work! Has anyone else had this happen Or know why! Thank you in advance My code is straight forward so I don't know what I could be doing that would make it only work most of the time function updateinfo(){ m_module.setPreference( "feed" , feedinput.value); m_module.setPreference( "num" , numinput.value); refreshContent(); Just a guess: The amount of space for saving preferences is limited. You can store about approximately 1000 chars at this time. Maybe you went over the limit ...Show All
