• Visual C# Release mode in VS2005

  Hi I have notice that when I run my project from the IDE in Release mode the debugger still stops on the breakpoints. What is happening here This behavior is different to VS2003. I want to run my app without disabling the breakpoints thanks kenny You can turn this off by going to your project properties in visual studio Go to the build tab make sure Define Debug is not checked go to advanced and select none in the debug combo. Your app is still built in release mode but all debugging information supplied also. so that you can debug when the release mode acts differently to the debug. ...Show All

• SQL Server Where to use SQLCLR ? Data access is not recommended?

  Just wondering which scenarios is suitable to use SQLCLR. Any kind of data access is not recommended I guess. Only things that cannot be easily done in TSQL should be done in SQLCLR but why Can't those things be done in app layer itself Scenarios recommended for SQL CLR: - External data access like filesystem, registry etc - Complex calculation - Recursion without data access (this can be implemented with CTE for data access) If data access with SQL CLR is not recommended why should CLR should be even used and logic reside in database layer.. it makes no sense to me. Any thoughts Here's an example I came up with for password storage to avoid plain-text storage of passwords... And sorry I have no idea how ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Legacy Win32 C/C++ Code to be used in CF

  Hi, My problem is described pretty much in the title. I am using VS 2005. I have some code to use in a Pocket PC 2003 application and it is written in C/C++. What is the suggested way to do this I tried to use the DLL in a PPC project but since it is desktop DLL, i failed to do that. I tried to compile the code in a Smart Device project, i failed to do that too (couldn't find files like wincon.h, io.h, etc)...This code was written to be used in desktop applications. I think this must be a frequent problem that Smart Device developers encounter but I really couldn't find a way to solve this either through forum-search or google. Thanks for any help... Hmm, yes, P/Invoke is the most obvious way to go for, but I thought it was for mana ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to implement copy/paste/cut/undo/redo commands in C#?

  Could someone please tell me how to implement the copy/paste/cut commands for the Edit menu items in C#  2005 I can implement those commandsfor each textbox individually, but my application has about 100 textboxes. It will be very tedious to do the same thing for each of them. I guess there must be some way to implement those commands for the whole application.   Thanks! Hi Ye, Your code is much better, but I just found out that if controls (TextBox, ComboBox, etc..) are placed in a ToolStripContainer,  ActiveControl always returns the ToolStripContainer as the active control, not the control that had the focus. So, the code doesn't work :(. Why AtiveControl behav ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to import a 3d Model in XNA framework?

  Can anyone explain me howto import a 3d model in an XNA project In which format I have to export my model from 3ds max 7 As far as I know, the current BETA has no loading routines for 3D modell formats. It seems they are part of the content pipeline which will be implemented later, so you must write your own model file reading code for now. My advice is the Wavefront OBJ format, which is a very well documented ascii format. It's also supported by the most modelling programs like Wings3D, Maya, 3DS-MAX, Anim8or...
