• Visual Studio Express Editions Trouble with compiling simple C# script

  Hi I am a beginner trying to compile a simple C# hello world script using a command prompt.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Legacy Forms and VSTO 2005 SE Addin Connectivity

  I am trying to convert a VSTO/Outlook2003 addin that uses custom forms to run under VSTOSE/Outlook2007 with the minimum of rewrite possible. I have got to the point where the majority of the addin code is happy with the change to the template BUT I have hit (what seems to be a perennial) problem with accessing the Addin from VBScript in the custom form. I had been using the workaround recommended for Outlook2003 whereby I create an instance of an "automationobject" within the addin and then applicationObject.COMAddIns.Item("OutlookAddIn1").Object = New AutomationObject(Me.Application) I could then reference this object from vbscript using Set myobj = Application.COMAddIns.item("OutlookAddIn1").Obje ...Show All

• SQL Server sqlcmd - empty serverlist

  At the end of my rope here ... I was using SQL Express 2005 without trouble, until one day I couldn't access my database. I spent a day hunting down the issue without success. I uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server many times, each time hoping it would somehow help ... I can access SQL Server just fine through SQL Server Management Studio Express. I can get in by typing "sqlcmd -S {my machine name}\SQLEXPRESS". However, I am working on a FoxPro application, and I cannot connect using FoxPro. It doesn't even seem to recognize the existence of SQL Server on the machine. Also, when I log in using sqlcmd, and type ":serverlist", I would expect my SQLEXPRESS instance to show up. It doesn't - the list of servers is empty ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Simple BlackJack game in XNA (zipped up project files)

  Hey all, just been trying to learn GSE, and I made a VERY basic BlackJack game, which hopefully may help someone else get started. I tried to comment the code, and I know there's a LOT of room for improvement. Input on how to make some of my classes more generic (maybe even make the components) would be appreciated. Such as: Card class (uses tiles in a texture to build the card, so each face value and suite symbol is listed in the texture) Deck class (actually a class to hold a deck and several hands or piles of cards) BMPFont class (a very rough and dirty, but functional tile based rendering engine) You can get it here: http://www.preik.net/xna/cardgame.html WQP wrote: Hey all, just been trying to ...Show All

• Windows Forms bindingcontext.addnew then set combo.selectedindex will not work

  I have a form that is used to enter data. One of the controls is a combobox using complex binding. I have a button that calls a bindingcontext.addnew. After this call I can not set the combobox no matter what I've tried. I've tried selecteditem, selectedindex, text, selectedtext, ect... I've tried getting a datarowview from the bindingcontext.current. This will allow me to set the value in the table, but that value is not displayed in the combobox unless I end the edit. I don't want to end the edit because I want them to be able to change their mind and cancel the new record. This is the binding for the combobox: Me .cboCompletedBy.DataBindings.Add( New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("SelectedValue", Me .DSnonconforming1, & ...Show All
