• Smart Device Development .NET Framework question

  I am developing an application for an hp ipaq and I am getting an error saying that the application requires a newer version of Microsoft .NET Compact Framework. Does anyone know where to download this from. You get this message when you run a Compact Framework v2 application on a device that has Compact Framework v1. Either run the application from Visual Studio with device attached - Studio will download necessary components to the device, or use a standalone download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55 ...Show All

• Commerce Server Guidance on number of catalogs and number of products

  Hi All, In the CS docs there is the following page Performance Considerations in the Catalog System. In this page it says (underlining added by me)... Number of Catalogs The relationship between the number of catalogs and performance is very complex. However, a basic guideline is that fewer catalogs are bette r, depending on hardware and your specific scenarios. This guideline is valid up to around 500,000 products per catalog . Beyond that, more advanced configurations may be needed, based on your performance requirements. Now, in the Starter Site Performance guide the catalog config was... 15 catalogs with 1,000,000 products each 6 virtual catalogs with 700,000 products each This has me a little confused as I would ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting protected controls using reflection

  Hi, I am inspecting an assembly that has a form, and this form has some controls that are inherited from a BaseForm class. Using GetFields I get to know its controls. However, the inherited controls do not show. I have set BindingFlags as follows: BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic; Am I missing something, any ideas Thanks in advance. Yeah but I would need to create an instance of the form to do that, and I would like to avoid that whenever possible since it may be quite a performance hit. My bad for not saying it in the first post. Would it be possible to inspect inherited controls without creating an instance of the form ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectDraw Deprication

  What exactly do Microsoft mean by depricating DirectDraw Do they mean DirectDraw will be completely removed in the next DirectX release If so, what are the alternatives Yes it will work to use an older version of DX but the more modern OS will not support the older versions of DX, you really need to move on from Direct Draw. XNA Does not come in a VB.Net form you need to use C#, there are some people using VB.Net for XNA ( http://www.alanphipps.com/VisualBasicdotNET-XNA.html ) but you should have a look at C# as most of the tutorials and documentation use the language. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Deploying an application

  Hello Guys! Please, is there any way to deploy an application package created with ClickOnce into Windows 98 I'm asking this because the setup file asks for windows installer 3.1, but this version of windows installer is not available to win98, only 2000, 2003 and XP. Is there any other version of windows installer that will work with the setup application or I need to change anything in the way I generate the deployment package The application was written in vb. Thanks a lot for all your time and attention. Cheers. Rodrigo. andradrr, If you install the .NET Framework 2.0 on your Windows 98 OS, it is possible for you to use the ClickOnce deployment.

• SQL Server SQLNumResultCols returns unexpected value

  Anyone know why SQLNumResultCols would return a different value for ColumnCountPtr in ODBC 3.0 than in ODBC 2.0 The only difference in our test program is that we set a different value for the SQL_ATTR_ODBC_VERSION attribute via SQLSetEnvAttr. When we set it to SQL_OV_ODBC2, SQLNumResultCols returns the expected value (10). When we set it to SQL_OV_ODBC3, SQLNumResultCols returns an unexpected value (0). Can you give a small code sample of the query you're using For example: create table t1 (c1 int, c2 varchar(1000)) select * from t1 SQLNumResultCols( ) should return '2'. Can you describe what you're doing to get this unexpected value. ...Show All

• Visual C# Allow generic method only for a few types (int, string, bool, float, etc.)

  Hello, i have currently a little problems with generics. I wanted to make something like that, which is no valid c# code: void MyMethod<T>() where T : string || int || bool || float || short || byte || uint || ushort || long { ... } But it is not possible to use types like int or string after the where keyword, because the string class is sealed and the valuetypes like int are no classes. I made a workaround, but I'm not very happy with it: void MyMethod<T>() { if (typeof(T) == typeof(string) || typeof(T) == typeof(int) .... ---- } This code gets not optimized by the JIT compiler (I looked in the assembler code), but its really important, that there is no overhead at this place. And i can't imagine, that this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Process Creation wizard

  Hi, I've created my own wizard which I have inserted into the Process Template. I've inserted my wizard to run first. I need this wizard to run everytime a Team Project is created - it tags various team projects with some specific info entered. Everything works fine if the user only clicks on Next and goes through all the wizards. If the user clicks "Finish" after selecting the template then the team system bypasses my wizard. I have three questions: 1) Is there a way to make my wizard appear before the one that asks for a project name and project template 2) Is there a way to force the project name and template wizard to disable it's "Finish" button. 3) Is there a way to force my wizard to run each an ...Show All

• SQL Server matrix: more than 1 column in static rowgroups ?
