• Windows Forms Problem with modal forms

  hi, i created my own dialog, which is opened with ShowDialog(). thus a modal form is shown on top of the calling form. but when the calling form is not on top (other windows overlaying it) when the modal form is shown, it's rendered behind the calling form. not even clicking on the calling form brings the modal dialog to front. only clicking the modal form itself (when a part of it is visible) displays the form. that looks like a bg for me. is there a workaround for the bug thanks in advance! This may happen if you have forms with the TopMost property set to True. Or if you pass an argument (the owner) to ShowDialog... ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Keyboard driver modes - How would one implement two diff behavior?

  Hi, My WM2005 device has a sliding alpha-numeric keyboard.   When that keyboard is open on the WM2005 Today screen, the keyboard enters a "numlock" mode.  This is where some overloaded keys that act as the phone’s dial-pad only output numbers, not characters ( so a user can initiate a call from the Today screen ).  When an app such as Pocket Word has the focus however, the keyboard functions “normally”, meaning all keys output characters and a user must press the FN key plus an alpha-numeric key to generate a number.     I have written a custom Today screen item that accepts user input in a textbox.   I’d like to disable the numlocking state of the keyboard when the today screen is in focus and tha ...Show All

• .NET Development search words sequence in a string with regular expression

  HI, I've got some strings that contain the following text: 1) "That film is very beautifull". 2) "How much beautifull is the film ". 3) "The film is boring". I need, if it is possible with RegEx, to search if the string contains "film" AND "beautifull". I've tried with the following pattern: "film.*beaut.*", but IsMatch method returns only 1) I'm not interested in the exact sequence of the words. Can I achieve this with regex I know that I could do "(film.*beaut.*)|(beaut.*film.*)" but the number of the words to search is variable, so i don't want to perform all the possible combinations of the words in the search pattern. Thanks in a ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about reportBuilder (Installation)

  Hi ! I've already ask this question a couple of weeks ago but nobody answer me so i'll ask again . We have a web application using ReportServer. Some of our client want to be able to create their own reports and to add them. So we thought that ReportBuilder could be a good idea. We would create model for them and using ReportBuilder they could create easily their reports.

What i want is to install ReportBuilder on different computer and configue ReportBuilder to connect to the Server. Is it possible How Do we need to buy licence Thanks !

  Folks, After using VB 6.0 for the last 10 years, I am rather embarrassed to post this question because I could not find answer to this question. Here's my situation 1) I have a dropdown combobox.

• Smart Device Development Save Date and Time to Appointment using Appointment class

  Hi, I have to collect info from users and save them in Appointment folder (Pocket Calendar). The problem is with the AM/PM value, which is saved with unpredictable result. I collect date info using DateTimePicker and the time using ComboBox dropdown. I suspect there is something wrong with my code, i can't say how to save this AM/PM stuff using DateTime properties. Here is my sample code: Items in combobox are hardcoded in this format: hh:mm tt (which refer to 12:00 AM) int styear = 0; int stmonth = 0; int stday = 0; int sthour = 0; int stminute = 0; int stsecond = 0; Appointment Appt; OutlookSession Session; //Parsing string value in datetime picker char[] delimitChars = { '-', ':', ' ' ...Show All

• Visual Basic The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)

  I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this error I seem to be getting, it compiles fine no problems but when I try to run the program I get "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005)" it only happens on the one system that I run it, every other system I've tested it on it executes fine, unfortunitly this is the system that the program needs to run on and its not. I've tried running it in safe mode and it seems to run so I've installed all current drivers and disabled all services except those that are required for windows to run and yet I still get the same problem, I've also turned off every other application before running it. Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Working with Frames

  We have a website that requires a login and, based on users roles, displays anywhere from 3 to 10 frames. The initial recording was done with a "super user" account so that all requests were recorded. Now, during playback with an ID having limited access, the web test fails due to the number of frames not authorized for this user. I believe that I can determine what frames are authorized for this user by looking at the response from an earlier request and use this information to prevent the calls that I know are going to fail. Is this doable Thanks. ok... so I tried option two and it worked... however, the test run detail is giving a weird results. At the end of the test run, it shows the r ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA has it's own GamePad DeadZone?

  I've been looking at the output of the thumbsticks, and it appears a value less than 24% (0.24) is ever returned. I know it's very important to implement deadzone in your programs, but why has it been done for us Someone may want to write a game that needs a smaller deadzone, but as far as I can tell it would be impossible given we don't have full access to the output right the way from 0 to 1. Is this behaviour intentional Many thanks, Adam Miles Mitch Walker - MSFT wrote: There is a bug that we should be returning values 0.0...1.0 rather than 0.24...1.0 after we calculate the deadzone.
