• Windows Live Developer Forums Use local.live.com

  Hi, Is it possible to use local.live.com in its entirety on my own site and add my own custom stuff to it We want almost all the functionality that local.live.com (Print, DD, etc.) and add some custom stuff to it. Is that viable If yes, how If no, what are my other options Thanks, Sanjeev First, you could just go to the viavirtualearth.com site and dig up articles and blog posts that may contain good features. I do know you can create a CSS file that specifies the color of the dashboard and so on. After you implement the features, then make it look good with CSS and so on. Like, for example, with V2 of the mapcontrol, they linked to a CSS file in the script. I downloaded the CSS file and modif ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Processing Keyframe Animation Data

  Hey all, I'm trying to write a Processor to extract the relevant keyframe animation data from the NodeContent data imported from the .x files, and am having trouble figuring out exactly what data i am given. Since i iterate through all the meshes to draw the model i was looking to store the keyframes as the corresponding Absolute transformations for each mesh, hence when animating i can just pick the appropriate keyframe transformation and set that as the World transformation matrix for the effect. Each NodeContent object has a dictionary of AnimationContents which in turn have a dictionary of AnimationChannels which in turn contain a list of KeyFrames, each containing the time index for the frame and a matrix transformation. Can anyone ex ...Show All

• Smart Device Development System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone

  I am writing an application for a Windows Mobile device using C# and .Net Compact framework. I need to obtain the system timezone or timezone that the user specifies in the Settings/Date and Time area. System.TimeZone is an abstract class and if I do try to call System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone I get a NotSupported exception. I have also tried p/invoking GetTimeZoneInformation() and also received a NotSupported exception. I went to pinvoke.net to see what methods are available under coredll.dll and GetTimeZoneInformation is not there, so I have no idea how I am to get the timezone. Thanks Harry System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName works fine for me – I’ve just tried it on NETCF V2 and PPC ...Show All

• Windows Forms .NET 2.0 Winform Printing Issue

  I'm having an issue with a .NET 2.0 winforms application. The application runs in the taskbar, querying a webservice in five minute increments, and when the webservice returns data, it prints out that data in a certain format. This works fairly well for quite a while, until suddenly the application stops being able to print. Restarting the application tends to fix this issue, but that is not a valid fix for the client. Any suggestions Thanks! Yes, stopped as in nothing happens. It reports no errors, and gives no exceptions. Nor is there anything concerning it in the event log. When the five minute timer elapses again, the behavior is repeated. I did read on Google that Windows Services in .NET has is ...Show All

• SQL Server cannot create new sql express database

  Hi, I am trying to create a new Sql Express Database (.mdf file) from inside Visual Studio 2005. I did the following: 1) Created a Database Project in Visual Studio. 2) Choose Data Source to be Microsoft SQL Server Database File 3) Browse to a directory and enter a file name for the new database, say abc.mdf 4) When I click OK, Visual Studio prompts me if I want to create the database file, I click yes. 5) After a while, I get this error message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

• .NET Development Getting Remote IP address!!

  Hello, My computer is connected to the internet with other computers thru a router, my LAN ip is 10.0.0.84, but it is not the WAN, so how can i write a windows or console app that gets the WAN IP Thanks you can't really. The best thing to do is maybe use some webpage/site that gives you your IP Address than parse that, or use some webservice, if one exists, to give you back your IP Address. AFAIK you can't really "go out" to check your IP, since you are behind a router therefore you will only get private IP address, since that has been assigned to your NIC. ...Show All
