• Windows Forms Easy question about a groupbox

  I'm feeling somewhat stupid when asking this question because the answer is almost certainly trivial but I still don't know the answer so here goes. Suppose I create a groupbox (groupbox1) and put into it 2 textboxes (textbox1 and textbox2) how can I afterwards refer to textbox1. Now what do I do if I want to change the text in one of the textboxes. I was hoping for something like groupbox1.textbox1.text = "helloworld" But that doesn't work. I believe that I could use a loop along the lines of Private Sub Update_textbox1() Dim mytextbox1 As textbox For Each ctrl As Control In groupBox1.Controls If TypeOf ctrl Is textbox Then mytextbox1 = ctrl mytextbox1.text = &qu ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing a common data set schema for multiple web services

  Hi, I have a solution with multiple web services that share the same typed dataset. Each time I add a reference to a web service to a client application it creates a new web refrence class that includes an imported version of the XSD for the typed dataset. Each web service reference then has its own typed data set class . Even though the dataset is the same each web service reference refers to it via a different namespace. How do I get the web service refrences to share a common reference to the data set schema so that they all use the same type -- David Worthington .Net Framework V2.0 added a functionality to solve this problem. wsdl.exe tool has new switch (/shareTypes) allowing for type sharing betwee ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLCMD taking lot of time during insertion

  Hi I am using SQL Server 2005(Express Edition) and i am trying to insert around 50,000 records in a table through a sql file by providing that file as inputfile to the sqlcmd utility. SQLCMD utility is taking a lot of time in completing the transaction. Moreover if i am doing the same thing with the help of a procedure its taking around 30 sec to do so. Please tell me why its taking so much of time via SQLCMD. Also it seems that sqlcmd is taking a lot of time in parsing the file. Can we somehow disable the parsing done by the sqlcmd utility Regards Salil ManiD wrote: Its really bad idea to import huge data into table as Insert Statements.

• Visual Studio Parameter overview is not displaying fully qualified name

  Hi Anand ,   I have found another issue in Sandcastle:   open the following link: http://www.inchl.nl/help/28126d0b-6d62-1d1e-19b7-6b6a0884fc5b.htm   You can see the declaration of the Item property in the PCSH class. This PCSH class is a public innerclass of the Tools class. The second parameter (named persistence) is a enumeration named PCSH (which is a public inner enum of the Enums class). As you can see the parameter overview displayed just the name of the innerclass ( PCSH ) although the property declaration is displaying a full qualified name. In my case this is causing a lot of confusion because both the enum and class are named PCSH , but are stored as inner classes in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GPGPU: 1-to-1 pixel-to-texel mapping using Direct3D

  For a GPGPU application using shaders we need to map a given texture directly 1-to-1 to the render surface. The simplest way to do this (so we think) is to use a rectangular quad with coordinates from (-1, -1) to (1,1)) and to set the FOVY and the zoom such that the quad will exactly fill the whole render surface. Rendering a given texture to this quad should give the expected results, i.e. a direct mapping from each texture pixel to the corresponding screen (or any other render surface) pixel. But what happens is that the texture appears to be shifted one pixel down and right which will make the direct mapping impossible. The correct results are achieved if we use a slight correction for the viewing Matrix: (D3DXMatrixTranslation( &m ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with package.Execute passing variables

  I am having a problem with passing variables into my SSIS package from C#. The variable names match ("Variable1, ...), however they do not seem to be assigned the proper values once the package is executed. The package does run and returns a FALURE notice saying there is a problem with my expressions. When I added a new data flow, derived all the variables into columns and wrote their values to a flat file I noticed that the values still contain my default values from the SSIS package itself as though nothing was passed in from C#. I am hoping that it is a simple configuration/user error. Any ideas ---- C# ---- Reference to Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime; Application ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions OpenGL using version 1.1 instead of Video driver version

  Hi, I have an application that runs on at least a few computers, but on a certain computer it uses Microsoft Generic OpenGL 1.1. The code I use to create the window and the OpenGL Context is below. In short, if I change the window style from WS_OVERLAPPED_WINDOW to WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_CAPTION | WS_THICKFRAME | WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_MAXIMIZEBOX (i.e., remove WS_SYSMENU) Then the OpenGL version it uses is 2.0.6068.
