Visual C# ProgressBar Dilemma
My user wishes to see visual proof that their app is processing files. I've never used a ProgressBar before and I'm trying to get a test to work before I 'muddy-up' my production app. I've gotten to the point that I can get the Value to display as each record in a file is read; however, when it gets to the final record it displays the following exception: Value of '1894' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum'. Parameter name: Value I know what the problem is (there's 1893 records in my test file), I just don't know how to fix it. I've tried to set the record count to it's value +1 ( this . thisProgressBar . Maximum = Convert . ToInt32 ( m_strInputFile . Length / 1024 + 1 ); ), but still g ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XP domain controller acting as Kerberos KDC?
Hi, I read posts about configuring a Windows XP Prof. domain controller acting as a Kerberos KDC. Could you guide me how set this up I'd like to set up a test scencario with a client and a KDC on the same machine to achieve single sign-on fpr my applications. For me, this seems to be the easiest way... If that's not possible, how about running a KDC on a local machine and let a client contact it from the same machine Many thanks!!! I really appreciate any advice! Look a little more closely. The XP KDC is backed by Active Directory . You can certainly set up a non-AD KDC and plug custom code into WCF to talk to it, but that's purely an extensibility scenario. ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Terrain component source code
The terrain is split into batches, one batch from every texture type. Each batch has a vertex buffer and an index buffer. It uses quad trees to find which tiles should be rendered. Once it has the list of tiles that are visible it populates the batch's index buffer. I'm sorry for the disgraceful lack of comments in the code, but here you go, a tile-based terrain component implementation for XNA. Download the file here: http://files.filefront.com/Terrainzip/;5526129;;/fileinfo.html For more information check out my new/empty blog: http://kukyona.blogspot.com I dont have a website so Im a little at loss on how to share this with you guys... so feel free to send me any questions or comments on a better place to put this. ...Show All
SQL Server Organizing dimensions
I have question about orginizing the dimension. What is best and faster for deployment and processing Let's say I have 10 cubes, and each one has about 15 dimensions. Because of client application, I want to have all cubes in just one database. So that makes 150 dimensions under one directory called Dimensions on OLAP server, or is any other solution To deploy all cubes into single database it is necessary to have all cubes in only one project in BI. That makes whole project, deploying and maintaining under SourceSafe really slow. Is any other solution for organizing dimensions and cubes It's not the problem of sharing the dimensions. I share some dimensions, but cubes are different and so are dimensio ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista ezrgb24 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\BaseClasses\debug\strmbasd.lib'
When I am trying out the sample filter provided by DirectX SDK. The error "ezrgb24 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\BaseClasses\debug\strmbasd.lib'" happen. Do you know how to solve it I have included the path in tools->options->directory. And I have searched all the files in my system, but no strmbasd.lib found. How could I do and how to get the strmbasd.lib file Thanks for help. Like I said, the reason you didn't find it is "MS doesn't ship the lib". This file is generated by building the baseclasses sample, which is why " You must build the baseclasses sample yourself." ...Show All

Windows Forms DGV in a UserControl
I have a class (I'll call it, myDGV) that has DGV as its base, the DGV columns are defined in the myDGV constructor. When I drag a myDGV from the Toolbox onto a UserControl (I'll call it, myUserControl), the column definitions are recreated in the code module "myUserControl.designer.cs"; which means that instead the original 5 columns as defined in myDGV, I now have 10 columns (ie I see everything twice) . How can I stop this; at the moment what I do is to hack the myUserControl.designer module, but if for any reason I have to load the myUserControl into the designer I have to redo the hack. Thanks PhilD AutoGenerateColumns applies to Bound Columns. My columns are unbound and the DGV is virtual, ...Show All

SQL Server Change results
I have created query As shown: SELECT distinct [Table] FROM [Database] The results i get back are A, B & C. What i am trying to do is show a result as a different word. i.e instead of displaying A is shows in drop down list as Apple, B shows Banana. etc. Can anyone help please. Thanks The syntax of your query is not correct. Normally in SQL Server you would use the following: SELECT [Columns] FROM [Table] It is good practice to create a lookup table that contains a set of unique shorthand codes or IDs, such as 'A' and 'B' in your example, and an alphanumerical field to contain a description of the code/ID - 'Apple' or 'Banana' in your example. You would then join the fact ...Show All

Visual C++ wincon.h missing SetConsoleDisplayMode()!!!
BH Im using Windows XP Home. I installed Microsoft Platform SDK 2003 R2, and already adjusted the directories with my VC++ 2005 Express.

Any help regarding this would be appreciated.
