• Visual FoxPro How to create a Word document?

  I wish to convert a memo field into a Word format document. I searched around and found this: oWord=CreateObject("word.application") oWord.Documents.Open("c:\test.doc") oWord.ActiveDocument.Range.Start=0 oword.ActiveDocument.Range.End=0 oWord.ActiveDocument.Range.Text="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" oWord.Documents.Save() It works if the test.doc is already there.

• Visual Studio Cant find the class for embedded crystal reports?

  Hi guys. I'm having a problem finding the class for the embedded crystal report document I've added to my project. I am using VB.Net 2003 and based from the information I've got from MSDN, once you embed a crystal report into your application, a class will be automatically created for you to use to instantiate the report in your code then bind it to a crystal report viewer. But i cant find that class Say for example, ive embeded crystal report document named "CRSample.rpt" to my application. My crystal report viewer is named for example "CRVSample". I want to do it like this. Dim CRSample as ReportDocument CRSample = New [This is where the problem is. The class CRSample is suppose to be listed here after hittin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to render alpha blended textures on a Model?

  I have a 3D model with a texture applied that contains alpha information to make parts of it transparent. How do I go about rendering the model with the transparency I've figured out how to render the entire model translucent but not how to make a specific material on the model translucent in accordance with the alpha values of the texture used by the specific material. Is there a way to do this Given that the texture you are using does in fact have an alpha channel, the key here is to setup the blending render states properly depending on what you are trying to do. Additive blending will make parts of the texture that are set to opaque (having an alpha value of 1.0) appear to be translucent, so I assume you are probably going fo ...Show All

  Hi fellow developers, At the moment, i have a SSAS 2005 installed and a working cube on it. Everything is working fine.

Well this would be no problem at all, if i use the AdomdClient and send queries over it, but this destroy my layer architecture. I dont want any Queries in my Application, but in the SQL Server.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Different Coloured Brushes

  How do I change the brush colour so that each square is different I was thinking of using an array, Dim arrCol() As String = {"Red", "Yellow", "Green"} but string can't be converted to system.brush.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D Pixel Perfect Collision

  Anyone know of any good resources for learning how to do pixel perfect collision on sprites which takes rotation and scaling into account   Gunston wrote: Parlance Whether pixel perfect or bounding hull or simple hitbox collision detection is "useful" depends entirely on the game you're implementing. I'm a fan of Japanese 2D shooters like Ikaruga (try a search YouTube or Wikipedia) and that genre of games tends to use small hitboxes so you can fly very near (sometimes colliding with) enemies to get a 'buzz' and upgrade your weaponry.  For the stuff I'm building, I may have a single hitbox or multiple hitboxes defined for the same sprite.  Multiple hitboxe ...Show All

• .NET Development clear all data form the database?

  I wont to clear all the data from tables in the database. I have studentiDataset, and i tried this code: Form2.StudentiDataSet.Clear() Form2.StudentiDataSet.AcceptChanges() I also tried to add after this code tableadapter update method for all tables but it didn't work. How can i doo that Thanks! This code will never do anything. If you call AcceptChanges before calling Update, then there is nothing for the adapter to do. Remember, when you call Update, the adapter loops through the table and examines each row's Rowstate - so AcceptChanges sets everything back to unchanged. Also, the real question is if you need this action logged or not. If not, the use TRUNCATE TABLE <TableName&g ...Show All
