• .NET Development Bug, (I think, quite nasty), relating to GAC, sgen: also, where does one report bugs? Forgot...

  Im really apologetic in that I seem to remember that one is not to post bug reports here...there is a proper place for that, but I don't recall...can someone refresh me on that but anyway, this is a wierd bug: (at least based on what my research turned up)... Im trying to recompile a largish project that has about 2 dozen references to assemblies (i.e., my little classes), in my effort to target an AMD 64 bit processor...One of the references is to a quite complex user control, which in turn refers to many other custom assemblies... Anyway, I've actually been making pretty good progress, (because of the complexity of the project, it is easier to compile the assemblies seperately, one solution at a time), but when I get to this co ...Show All

• Windows Forms GDI+ Drawing problem

  I'm having a very weird problem, I'm writing a scrolling graph using C#. I'm using the Graphics.DrawLines method for one series and the Graphics.FillPolygon method for another series. Both of these methods take in an array of Points as parameters. Each time I update the graph with a new data point, the graph will refresh calling the DrawLines and FillPolygon methods. Now these data points are exactly the same as the previously drawn points except that there is one more data point in the collection. However, what I am seeing on the screen doesn't reflect the Point array that I am sending the DrawLines and FillPolygon methods. I'm seeing, on the screen, that the Y values change up and down slightly. Does anyone have any idea why the y values ...Show All

• SQL Server selecting date range

  I have an MDX query that I'm using in Reporting Services: SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[NumberOfClaims] } ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( [Date].[DTM02_Date].&[2003-12-23T00:00:00] : [Date].[DTM02_Date].&[2005-01-01T00:00:00] ) ON COLUMNS FROM [ClaimStatus]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS Now this works fine... until I change the dates... such us putting in 2000 instead of 2003 in the date first date. This cube is from two tables: 1. A Claim table (health care claim) 2. A Date table The data table has two columns: 1. a key 2. the actual date The claim table has a key that links to the date table's key, and the corresponding date is the claim date.

• Visual Basic Restarting Windows

  I need my program to be able to restart the computer. However, when I copied the code off of http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;176695, but when I run, I get a PInvokeStackInbalance run-time error at the OpenProcessToken line. So if the Microsoft code example doesn't work, does anyone else have an idea on how I can restart Windows I tried those changes, but still get the imbalance exception. When I changed every long to integer, I got on the next line a MemoryAccessViolation. For now, I am using the following: Public Class ExitWindows Public Const EWX_SHUTDOWN As Long = 1 Public Const EWX_FORCE As Long = 4 Public Const EWX_REBOOT = 2 Private Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Do you plan some editable ListView (DataGrid) WPF control?

  Do you plan some editable ListView (DataGrid) WPF control It is my understanding that the set of controls that will ship in v1 are complete in the current beta/ctp. There are control vendors working on such things, and you can get most of the way there with the existing controls. Look at the ATC Blog for some good examples on how to combine the current controls to produce a more complete data presentation result. For a full database editing experience you will need a third party control, or need to do some coding on your own. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Farfetched?

  To create a non-XNA game do people use a graphics engine, or do they create everything from scratch. To me, creating a game, out of nothing, just seems impossible to me. I know it has been done, but does the majority of the community use graphics engines There won't really be one single answer to this - it'll vary from project to project and from developer to developer. In general, software re-use is a big part of the development process. Using a pre-made engine, or re-using technology from previous projects is usually a good thing - you get the advantage of a tested and understood platform but the disadvantage of having to work within the constraints defined by the existing technology (e.g. making a r ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to always show the ToolStrip overflow button

  Hello everyone! I want my toolstrip to look like the visual studio one does. I want the overflow button to always be shown and I want a menuitem that allows me to add and remove toolstrip items. Is this possible Thanks in advance! Regards, -Martin Hi, Glad to hear your feedback. To make the toolstrip overflow button visible, I find that at least one button should be in the overflow state. private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { this .toolStripButton1.Overflow = ToolStripItemOverflow.Always; } Then the toolstripoverflowbutton will show up. Maybe this is not exactly what you want, but hope this helps a little. ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove duplicates within pipeline

  I have a situation where we get XML files sent daily that need uploading into SQL Server tables, but the source system producing these files sometimes generates duplicate records in the file. The tricky part is, that the record isn't entirely duplicated. What I mean, is that if I look for duplicates by grouping the key columns, having count(*) > 1, I find which ones are duplicates, but when I inspect the data on these duplicates, the other details in the remaining columns may differ. So our rule is: pick the first record, toss the rest of the duplicates. Because we don't sort on any columns during the import, the first record kept of the duplicates is arbitrary. Again, we can't tell at this point which of the duplicated records is mo ...Show All
