• Windows Forms ClickOnce deployment

  Hi, I am trying to use ClickOnce to deploy the windows application i am working on. My application is using Microsoft application blocks. When I Click the "Publish" option, I received several warnings, such as ; Assembly 'References\Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.dll' is incorrectly specified as a file. " Assembly 'References\Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.dll' is incorrectly specified as a file. Does anyone know what is happening Thanks in advance. Those dll files were copied in a folder inside the application when the project structure was created. I simply removed those files (not the references). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Animation help

  Hi, I'd like to do some simple vertex animation on a model using a vertex shader, but I'm having an extremely difficult and frustrating time figuring this out. I've been looking at the content pipeline documentation, I've found the tutorial about the BBox processor and done that a couple times, I've written a C# converter for a custom mesh format I have to X and still I can't work out how to accomplish this. I guess conceptually I understand how the content pipeline works. I ran the X processor DLL that ships with XNA through reflector and just about had a nervous breakdown looking at all the classes in there. I write geometry exporters, importers, and deformers for Maya at my day job, so I like to think I should be able to do this, ...Show All

• SQL Server Report/query parameter default values

  I am using a SQL stored procedure for a report. The sproc has a variable in it (@itemnumber) to be supplied by the user at run time. In the report parameters within Visual Studio Designer, I am trying to set a default value for the parameter of % so that all items will be returned unless the user enters a specific item number. In the Visual Studio preview this works but once the report is deployed to the web server, the default value does NOT show up. Please advise. thanks! Martha   No, it's a non-queried default. I'm simply trying to set it to %. The variable is a string (varchar) in the sproc. In the Visual Studio preview it works, just not on the web once deployed. ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about embedding MSWORD in a WindowsForms-App (InPlace-Editing)

  Hi there, I need to use MS-Word in my WinForms-Application using the good old "OLE2-InPlace-Editing"-Feature. Is this possible with the framework or do I have to program this via MFC and-/or ATL (IOleClient.. interfaces and so on) Best regards Reiner Deborah, yes, I need to embed WORD. My App constructs a complex document-structure. Most of the tasks are done via "Automation"! But I want give my customers a chance to "manually" type (and format) a new sentence/paragraph or whatever. I think, starting WORD as an external app for this to do is not a good idea. Best regards Reiner PS.: Internet Explorer does this anyway for much document-types, e ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can ClickOnce provide an 'Uninstall' method?

  I'd like to make it easy for users to uninstall a ClickOnce program. Is there a way to set ClickOnce to include an uninstall option Either as a link on the publish.html page, Or in the startup group created in StartUp > All Programs David: Thank you for your response. I feared that was the answer: The same one I reached after far too much time researching the question. Doesn't it seem reasonable that the Click-Once approach include an "Uninstall" option Certainly providing the user with such a handy, easy-to-use option wouldn't harm security, would it Again, thanks.

• SQL Server Why is SQL 2005 Express much slower than Developers Edition?

  I'm working on upgrading VB6-based application to employ SQL Server 2005 Express (it currently uses MSDE). I'm using the following connection string - Provider=SQLNCLI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=my_user;Password=my_password;Initial Catalog=my_database;Data Source=my_pc;Packet Size=8000 The application runs exceedingly slow. As soon as I uninstall SQL Server 2005 Express edition and install SQL Server 2005 Developers edition speed increases in 5 to 10 times.

• SQL Server Suppress blank lines problem

  I am having difficulty suppressing empty groups from rendering blank lines. For instance, take a simple left outer join to group detailed sales by region. The report has a regions group and the detail line. Every region that made no sales would print one blank line. If I add a subgroup between the region and the detail say to group by product within region then I get two blank lines for each no sale region. If I add another detail line then I get three blank lines etc. Has anyone else come across this and solved it Thanks. Yes. Basically if I do not use left outer joins and set visibility at the line level then the blank lines are not there. Unfortunately, that brings in another issue I was trying to avoid ...Show All
