• .NET Development CONFUSED

  I wanted to learn as much database technology as I could. I started with Access and learned some Visual Basic and SQL along the way. Meanwhile, I have been able to write a few programs that have made life much easier for my business, a few firends and my church. I feel it is time to improve myself but I am confused about Visual C++. Will I really gain much if I learn Visual C++ Will Visual C++ be an improvement on what I have learned so far Do you recommend something else VB is now old and unsupported, .NET is the new thing that has taken the world by storm. These forums for example, are created on the .NET technology using ASP.NET, you can develop .NET application for your Windows powered mobile device u ...Show All

• SQL Server Anyone know how to create a "Table of Contents" (TOC)?

  How do I create a Table of Contents (TOC) for my report Thanks We solved this by creating a .NET custom render for PDF. We manipulated the multiple reports into one report using SVG and then created a TOC at the front. There are only two reporting packages that meet this TOC requirement. Acuate and the newest Crystal Reports. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. IDirect3DDevice9 and multiple windows etc.

  Ok, so you said we could ask anything here... :-) We currently have an app running with thousand of users online, and the client uses DirectX7 2D. Have been test-converting it to DirectX9 3D. Runs very well in test, but before advancing in modifying all the code, I have some questions, which are code design questions... here goes... What do we have now: we have one window with the app running. What do we want to have: multiple windows, showing different graphics from the same graphics-base. So when I create a texture for use with a sprite (for now), then the texture seems to be bound to the device and the device seems to be bound to a window. So if I want to have 5 windows (different size), then does that mean that it has to have 5 d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Wizard generated code running under a transaction.

  Hello people! Please I was wondering if is there any way to use transactions with the code generated by VB 2005 Express Edition Wizards. What I mean is, suppose I have a wizard generated data set called MyStoreSales and whithin it I have (an also wizard generated) table adapter called ClientsTableAdapter. I also created a very simple SQL command which removes an specific client from the table. I've created this SQL command with the wizard (right mouse button on table adapter -> Add Query...) then the wizard generated a new method for me (RemoveClient) into the ClientsTableAdapter. Now, is there any way to execute this method (RemoveClient) under a transaction I've tried the following: 1 Dim tx As Data.SqlClient.SqlTran ...Show All

• Visual Basic Public Array

  I've read in the forms about making a public variable in a form accessible to another form in the same project, and have been able to do so with a single variable. Is there a way to share a complete array (to be specific e.g. String Array(i,j,k,) where i,j,k are all integers) in a project between forms - i.e. From Form 1 to be used in Form 2. I have coinsidered referrencing every variable in the Array by a loop subroutine, but is there a better way Thanks CRV I tried to make these changes - The code as changed follows - (The Array I am using is dArray - I am assuming that I substitue my dArray name in place ot the myarray, but as a virtual newbie, I am not vertain about wheter to leave theArray as is or sub ...Show All

• Community Chat SaveProjectAs

  Ok...After hearing some complaints on this these boards about not having a "Project Save As" that saves the entire project to a new destination and name...I created this addin for VS05 that does just that. The addin creates a 'Save Project As' menu item off of the file menu and allows the user to select a VB or C# project file and then select a new destination directory and a new name for the project. All standard dialogs used. you can download the xcopy deployment files from: http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/SaveProjectAs The zip file contains two files: SaveProjectAs.AddIn and SaveProjectAs.dll and all you have to do to get it to work is to unzip the files into your addin directory...

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I Add a Printer?

  I would like to make a program that would, from a text list of network printers, add printers for use in Windows XP (primarily) . I work for a school district in northern BC, and we are having trouble with users needing to re-add printers every time they log on. In other words their printer info is not being saved on there profile properly. I figured I could write a program to do that, but can’t seam to find out how to do that. I was hoping it would be something like My.Computer.Printer.AddPrinter( \\server\queue ), but I’m not that lucky. almost!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Absolute and relative mouse movement

  Usually when dealing with mouse input you want the data from the mouse in two forms, one is absolute that you might use to draw a cursor or know which part of the window/screen a user has clicked on, and the other is relative where you are only interested in how much the mouse has moved. Currently, the MouseState only seems to report the mouse movement in the absolute form. This means anyone using the mouse to control, for example, a first person camera would find their movement limited by the size of their window/screen. I have tried playing around with the Mouse.IsCaptured property but it doesn't seem to make much difference, quite possibly because I don't know how to use it. Am I correct in thinking that getting relative mouse input dat ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista change delay timeoutduration

  Hello guys, I have a state machine workflow, and to create a timer, I used a delay inside an event driven. Is there anyway to change timeoutduration of this delay to a new value, while the instance of the workflow is running, so the timer expires at that new time. I couldn't find any code samples for that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your reply. Your solution works, but there are a whole bunch of other stuff in that state, like another timer or maybe later we want to add a sequential workflow inside this state, and making a transition back to the same state resets everything which is not desirable and a generic solution. Am I right ...Show All
