• Visual Basic merging data from two files

  How would I merge data from two output files and write the merged data into a single output file so that data with the same key values would be in the same row For example: Dataset 1 a b c d e f g h 2003, 11, 05, 1, 27, 0, 0, 0 2003, 11, 05, 1, 28, 0, 0, 0 Dataset 2 a b c d e f g h 2003, 11, 15, 1, 28, 1166, 134, 4 2003, 11, 15, 1, 27, 120, 19, 3 column e is the key value I would like the resulting dataset to look like this: 2003, 11, 05, 1, 27, 0, 0, 0 , 15, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code. Even when code is not required, it’s not always easy to create reusable animation effects. Enter AnimationBehaviors. AnimationBehaviors is a library that makes it easy to add common animations to elements in XAML with little effort. By utilizing attached properties I’ve created a system where adding (sometimes) complicated animations becomes as easy as adding an attribute to an elements tag in XAML. An example: < Rectangle my ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Terrain Generator Questions...

  Ok folks! I'm almost there with converting my terrain generator out of the book I'm working with. I had some trouble around some things missing in XNA, however even though they were missing, they were replaced with EASIER techniques. The loss of the mesh object is definitely NO BIG DEAL. So basically I have a Windows App with two panels. One displays a heightmap and one displays the terrain. I'd like to be able to move the camera around inside the panel with the terrain, but the performance is yukky. I think this is because I have to invalidate the form to get the redraw to occur. Since this is the first time I've mixed Windows Forms with DirectX, anyone have any advice on how I can make the performance better in my one viewport I'm thin ...Show All

• .NET Development halt a databind in progress?

  I have a very large query, and I'd like to present the user with per-page results. I have no interest in using the datagrid to do this, and have written my own paging object. For various reasons I want to halt a databinding operation once a certain condition is met. I do NOT want to use e.Item.Visible = false; which solves only the display problem and yet iterates unecessarily when really what I want the code to do is "stop binding, and exit gracefully". Ideally I could use the SqlDataReader object and set some sort of bounds (which it doesnt currently have) that could tell it to "jump to record X, and close out at Y records". This should not be confused with the SqlDataAdapters ability to fill within bounds ...Show All

• Visual C++ System::String^

  I am developing an application in visual c++ using VS 2005. I am reading data in via the serialPort dataRecieved class. This returns a system string, and I am assuming that the string is an array of unsigned characters. The trouble is I am unsure how to access individual data bits within the string. I can perform an if statement to check the contents against a set value. if(myString->Text == "hello world") But......I want to perform something like a switch statement so I can test the 3rd character against a set value, say... "x" or something similar. Can I do this When I have attempted it, I receive errors stating that a switch cannot be performed on a system string - IT IS ILLEGAL - apparent ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. metronome using directSound or directMusic

  hey. i want to code a program that includes a metronome using c++ and directSound and/or directMusic. this metronome should raise an event periodically, it should be as precise as possible and i need to change the tempo at runtime. now what i need is something like the StartTimer (UINT TimerDuration) onTimer(UINT nIDEvent) killTimer() functions in VC++ but with a higher resolution than milli-seconds and with a way to affect the duration between the timer events at runtime, as mentioned above, thus without having to stop and restart the timer... is there a way to use directSound / directMusic in order to achieve this perhaps sth with IReferenceClock:: AdvisePeriodic or does this problem not really have anything to do with ...Show All

• Visual Basic Trouble using datareader for obtaining a sum.

  Hi there, I am relatively new to VB and I'm trying to feel my way out as best as possible. I'm not even certain that I should be using the datareader class for what I want to obtain, so any help would be greatly appreciated. What I want to do is obtain the sum of the column, 'totgross' then retrieve that data and average it out. The code listed below gives a 'no value given for parameter' error. My first question is, do I have to use oledbparameter when using the datareader Second question, will the SQL statement I have listed create a column named expr1 or am I going in the wrong direction there also Thank you in advance, I am willing to take help in any form I can get it, so if there are any huge errors in my code please feel free ...Show All

• SQL Server "Incorrect syntax" exception when prefacing SP names with "dbo." and named parameter issues

  We're currently trying to evaluate SQLJDBC 2005 1.1 June CTP's support for database mirroring automatic failover. Unfortunately we're getting unexpected exceptions for calls that work fine w/ jtds that our blocking our ability to perform these evaluations without us making substantial changes to our codebase. The first issue is with the name used when calling a stored procedure -- SP names that start with "dbo." give us the following error: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Incorrect syntax near '.'. src:{call dbo.xyz( , , , , , , , )} The call will work if we change the SQL statement to {call xyz(...)}.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 2. XMAL to C# question (3) and some more...

  Few more questions about translating XAML to C#. But first, why I want to do all that If I want to create 3D object in run time i can't do that with XAML. As far as i know, and correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no such thing as "For" or "While" in XAML. So if I want to create 3D object dynamically in run time i have to write everything in C#. Right So after I had created a non-dynamic XAML app I'm now trying to translate it to C#... So, let's start: 1) When I write this code in XAML: <Page x:Class="Project3D.Page1" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/200 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Creating Workitem Dependencies

  We have created a new process template from Agile Process template, customized and uploaded successfully. In this template we would like to put some state transition constraint on a specific workitem. For example let us say, Requirement Specification and Detailed Design are two work items with states defined as 'Started' & 'Completed' . Now we want that State of Detailed Design should not be 'Completed' until State of Requirement Specification is 'Completed' . Any suggestion on how to do this Thanks Marcel. Looks like we need to put more efforts in doing this. Previously I was trying to use <dependencies> in workitems but it looks like they are purely sequential, i.e. unless task listed ...Show All
