• Visual Studio Team System How to deploy one project to multiple servers...

  I am using the database professional to create a generic DB that I have a copy of on two different servers with the exact same database code (procedures, functions, tables, etc.) and I was wondering how I can use one project to make all my changes and then deploy those changes to each of the two servers using the deploy functionality rather then do a schema comparison for each of the different servers and then running a seperate script on each server. This is fine for a few servers. What approach would you use if there were tens or hundreds involved This is not academic. The last site I contracted at had exactly this problem. Luckily I don't have that problem now :-) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Custom HTML phrasing

  I want to create a web browser but i want it to recognize special tags that ie and other browsers can't, so i need it to do its own HTML phrasing rather than using the browser control. I know to to get the HTML source of a page with HTTP Web Request but i am unsure on how the custom phrasing, and how to display the phrased page.

You could display the page again by setting the DocumentText property to the new page with your own tags detected and modified the original source from the DocumentText property in the webbrowser control. For now this is all I can th ...Show All

• Visual C# changing label from program.cs

  ok well i have a listener thread in program.cs that listens for messages from my NetworkStream and then needs to acces a label on my Form1 ive tried Client. Form1 test = new Client. Form1 (); test.label1.Text = data; Client being my application name lable1 is probably a label in Form1 class and it cannot be access here because it has by default private modifier. The best way to do it to create a property in Form1 Class like this: public string SetLabelText { get { return this.label1.Text; } set { this.label1.Text = value; } } Put the above code in Form1 class And access it from other class like this: Client. Form1 test = new Client. Form1 (); test. SetLa ...Show All

• Visual C# change negative sign

  i have a total figure shows -200 and i want to make it display as 200.. Hi there, Is this total you have in a numeric variable (e.g. int, double, short etc) If it is, you can use the System.Math.Abs() function as this will return the absolute value of whatever number is passed to it. For example: Double test = -200.97; Double nonNegTest = System. Math .Abs(test); MessageBox .Show( "Original: " + test.ToString()); MessageBox .Show( "Alteration: " + nonNegTest.ToString()); The message boxes above are for illustration only so that it can be seen what the effects of System.Math.Abs() are. However, if your total is stored in a string variable or the like, you can convert the value to s ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3D Modeling

  What is the best free/cheap 3D modeler out there By best I mean a good combination of capable and easy. I have used Maya while playing with UT2004, but the free version won't export .X files. I have a copy of 3DCanvas pro, but I find it lacking somewhat. One of my favorite combinations is D GA CGA and Metasequoia (all free depending on which versions you get.) D GA CGA is a dirt simple to use 3D modelling tool based on a parts bin metaphor. Metaseqouia or Milkshape (shareware) can be used to convert the D GA models into a game mesh. -- TAZ D GA CGA English page ...Show All

• .NET Development using dispose/finalize..

  I am trying to understand when a class needs to implement dispose. Lets say my class is using an arraylist and some other resources. Arraylist is a managed resource, so in this case should I be implementing finalize If I don't implement finalize my understanding is that the GC would still do a GC on my class and therefore get rid of Arraylist. What about dispose Do I need to implement dispose Let say I have another class using a windows script object. This would be a unmanaged resource. Do i now need dispose/finalize Thanks I don't know how WinForms implements they're Dispose code, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. The purpose of implementing IDisposable (or any interface, for that ...Show All
