• Visual Studio Express Editions How to create a LIB

  Hi VB experts, I'm creating a series if small programs that will use several classes and user controls that I've created. I'm at a loss on how to package these together so that they can easily be used in the programs. From what I've read, I believe that I should create a library to contain all these elements. I am also confused as to how this is related to a namespace. I need a kick start on how to create a library in VB Express. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks. GrandpaB, I was able to add usercontrols (dll's) to the toolbox in VB express. I think it was as simple as 'Tools', 'Choose toolbox items', 'Browse' and point to the compiled dll.

• SQL Server SQL SMO Object

  hi all, i'am engaged in migrating the database of one application which is developed in VB6.0 and SQL Server2000 to SQL server2005. Here the client is using the SQL DMO objects of SQL2000 to perform many database data manipulations for the end user, my problem is when i'am connecting the application to SQL2005 that session is ending up with an error. From the compatibility documentations i come to know that we need to use SQL SMO objects instead of SQL DMO , when i checked in msdn online i could only find code to connect to vb.net, can any one provide me information how to use SQL SMO object in VB 6.0..... thanks in advance Mat pls log your issue on http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=88 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Spacewar .fbx models.

  Just me, or are the models used in spacewar needlessly huge in dimenisons and in vertex count In wireframe render mode it's easier to see - the ones with gun barrels that have cooling holes are individually modeled that way - it's not like you can see that level of detail. The flying saucer one has an enormous number of verticies can could have been welded away. I haven't seen anything as to what's 'right sizing' a model for xbox360 but these have got be excessive for the level of detail that's shown in game.   Dr.9 wrote: Ok, enough whining.  Don't get me wrong, XNA is a _great_ start .  Some features needed, and the demo's are a little lack-luster.   Hopefully the xna team takes some advice (and ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The device does not support creating a texture of the given format with the given ResourceUsage

  Hello everyone. We've just started writing a PC game in XNA, and are progresing very quickly. However we're a bit concerned by the fact that the game started not to run on the artist's machine. Through installing VC#, we discovered basically it's failing to create a Texture2D with the following parameters: // Create the cache texture this.Texture = new Texture2D( graphicsDevice, 256, 256, 1, ResourceUsage.Dynamic, SurfaceFormat.Alpha8, ResourceManagementMode.Manual ); "The device does not support creating a texture of the given format with the given ResourceUsage" Or practically any parameters, truth be told.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is most efficient way to create the list of image thumbnails?

  Hi! I have a "little" question... ;) I would need to have (kind of) photo-album functionality in my application - it should display thumbnails of images from certain folder (and entering a folder with 2000 images should not bring the system to its knees!), and user should be able to move in that thumbnail view (using keyboard!) and perform some actions. Problem is, that there are so many options in all respects (what should be the container, how to get thumbnail of the images, how to do it asynchronous - so that folder with 2000 images would not block whole machine, etc.), that it is difficult to choose something In your opinion, what would be the most efficient way to do this Thank you very muc ...Show All
