• Visual Studio Express Editions banner grabber with split container and HTNL page???

  im trying to dyanmically add results to a datagrid, similar to a port scanner, but diff project.. I used to use the list1 additem, but that was in vb6 and ive never used ti datagrid control. also, i dont want to use the listbox, i could even use the treview but, whatever is easiets and displays the info better.... thank you Your question title makes very little sense, and bears no relation to what you are asking about in your post. Perhaps you are asking about a DataGridView No one can tell you what displays info better [sic], that's up to you to decide. I think you need to be a bit more specific in your question, perhaps showing us what you've tried and why you do or don't think it works. ...Show All

• SQL Server Working with multi-valued, query based parameters

  I am currently working with 3 multi-valued parameters whose data sources are queries. The first 2 are required to have entries, 100% of the time, but the third one may or may not require selecting a value. Parm3's data source is filtered by the selections of Parm1 & Parm2. The data source for my report references Parm3 in a derived table that is then LEFT OUTER JOINed. In the cases where the report does not require any selection from Parm3 I am still required to pick at least 1 entry. Can anyone shed some light on this, or provide a solution so I am not forced to pick any if I don't want Thanks in advance, Michael Yes I have those set just as you describe. Actually, because its a multi-value query I cannot ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Convert ADO recordset to a Foxpro DBF free table

  Hi,     I currently have a need to convert an ADO recordset to a DBF. I've seen some posts here on how to create and write to a DBF using C# in conjunction with the VFPOLEDB provider. I mocked some code up in VB6 similar to the example and I am able to open the dbf in VFP6 no problem. However, I'd like to find out what ADO to Foxpro field type conversions would work. The ADO recordset comes as a result of a query from SQL Server 2000, so there are bound to be some datatypes that will not convert natively. I've come up with this matrix so far based on some MSDN Library materials.     SQL DataType              ADO DataType   &nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System branching files twice to the same branch

  Hello, We are moving our source code control system from pvcs to tfs. During this process I encountered the following strange behaviour during a branch operation. I'll list the actions I performed. 1. create a directory with a file under source control : $repository/main/A/file0.txt 2. branch the 'main' folder to branch 'test', using the branch UI. This generates $repository/test/A/file0.txt 3. I then found out that I forget to add file1.txt to directory A and to branch that too. So I created $repository/main/A/file1.txt 4. I did exactly the same branch operation as in 2., i.e. branching main to test 5. The result is not that $repository/test/A/file1.txt is created as pending branch checkin, but that the entire main ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture Mapping Using 3ds Max for XNA Studio Express?

  I am using 3ds Max 9.0 64-bit to create models for XNA Studio Express. I use the following process: 1. I create the model and apply texture in 3ds Max. 2. In 3ds Max I "Render to Texture" to creat a .tga texture file. 3. In 3ds Max the .tga file is shown in the Asset Tracking screen under "Maps / Shaders". 4. I "Export" the model to .fbx 5. I add the .fbx file to "Models" in my project and the .tga file to "Textures" After compiling and running the game, the model appears without the texture. I then tried creating an ASCII .fbx file in 3ds Max. I did not find a reference to the .tga file in the .fbx file. Does anyone know how I can generate this reference in 3ds Max ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 ConfigurationManager not declared

  In VB2005, how do I read the values in the AppSettings section of my App.Config file In VB2003 I could use ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings, but it’s obsolete. I added Imports System.Configuration in the references tab of the property page, but I can’t use the ConfigurationManager. It says it’s not declared. ConfigurationManager is located within System.Configuration. In order to use it you’ll need to make sure in that addition to having the System.Configuration.dll referenced by the project, that you are either using its full name or have ‘Imports System.Configuration’ at the top of your code file. ...Show All
