• Smart Device Development How do I get System.Control object from a Win32 Handle?

  Hi, Is it possible to get control object from a win32 handle (like FromHandle() in win32) using C# Thanks, mv mv, The desktop .NET framework has a static function, System.Windows.Forms.Control.FromHandle() that behaves similarly to the MFC api (I'm not 100% sure you weren't referring to this desktop .NET api in your original message). However, the Compact Framework does not implement this function. If you want to determine which control a windows handle is referring to, I believe you'll have to manually compare to the handles from whatever set of controls you're interested in... something like: foreach(Control c in myform1.Controls) { if(c.Handle == handleImLookingFor) // do s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The future of 3D grahics programming with managed code (Microsoft technology)

  Hi! I would like to ask some information about the future of 3D graphics programming with the managed code. Yesterday, I came across an article where I read that Microsoft(MS) will stop the developoment of DirectX with the managed code, with the managed code I mean C#, Whidbey C++ and VB. The question I have in my mind is : "What's next ".  I have been developing numerical simulators during the last two years. My preffered language is (Managed)C++. The reason I chose Managed C++ is that - I thought that - I can use the MS technology in other parts of the developement, in addition I develop a code which is consistent with the C++ norms, altough Whidbey C++ is violing the traditional C++ syntax - I would not predict this two years ...Show All

Doing an Exists through the two intermediate measure groups that each User dimension was using to join to the main measure group as in my query above, so you found all the Branches each user had a relationship with, was the only thing that worked.

• Visual Studio vb file problem with visual sourcesafe

  I'm using visual sourcesafe internet. I have a problem checking in VB files. ASPX files seem to be ok. I receive this message when checking in a VB file: there was failure uploading the URL http://domain/sourcesafe/vssupload_db1/ ... Do you want to retry the operation. I can create the vb file and the file is initially added to sourcesafe. But once I start making changes, it will not check back in and produces the error above. Any help is appreciated. I suspect this has something to do with the permissions of the virtual directories in IIS. 1. Check on the name of the Upload Virtual Directory in your database's srcsafe.ini file.

• Smart Device Development CE 5 persistant store?

  Please help settle: We're upgrading/fielding a mobile device that ran CE 4.2 to CE 5. Mgmt was told by a vendor that the new device with CE 5 (not Win Mobile 5) stored all data and programs in non-volatile ram and persisted everything. But when I tested it, let the battery drain, all the data I put on the thing was gone. I could reload the os image from the card (I think that's where it was) but everything not in the image was gone. Now I'm reading that Win Mobile 5 protects all data and apps from power-related loss because it mounts the entire file system and registry in persistant store (rather than using RAM) ... from http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/learning/whatsnew/default.apsx But I don't see anything that CE 5 does ...Show All
