• Visual Studio Express Editions Data saved with Properties.Settings.Default differences?

  I was experiencing a rather odd problem, where settings saved in my application would only show up with their saved value, if it was started from within the Visual Express IDE. If I browse to the Debug folder and execute the application through the Explorer or executing it from the prompt, then the saved values were not available. After playing around a bit, I found out that if I save settings in the IDE, then they are not available when executing the application directly. So, I had to start the application from the explorer, save the settings, restart it and finally they were available. How come those two ways don't share their settings The IDE is also executing the file from the Debug dir afaik, so I was surprised to experience this beha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows forms repainting performance

  I write apps that generate a bitmap and then display them across many forms, sometimes spanning 4 external svga monitors attached to the system. Often the updates happen quickly (>15-20 times per second). Currently I use a form for each external monitor with its formBorderStyle set to none and size set to the screen size and then set the background image to the bitmap. I have reached the limit that I can update at and am asking if there are more efficient ways to do this at the forms level (i.e. using a pictureBox or some other control) Obviously hardware can help but are there anything anyone has encountered that speeds up the painting of forms from a software perspective when repainting with a bitmap. Thanks, Brian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System WorkspaceMapping.xml

  Currently the only option ive seen is to cloak folders which is working great but forces me to continue to update workspacemapping.xml files. (See example A below) I was wondering if there was another way to do this that would be something like example B to specifically only get 1 branch instead of cloaking all of them. (Type=Exclusive is not real) Example A: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <SerializedWorkspace xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <Mappings> <InternalMapping ServerItem="$/Web Application" LocalItem="C:\TFSWorkspace\" Type="Map" /> <InternalMapping Server ...Show All

• SQL Server Combining multiple subreports into a single report

  The goal is to produce a single PDF consisting of a number of subreports. Some are landscape, others are portrait. The subreports may also be run as independent reports. The master report that contains them defaults to the width of the widest subreport, which is landscape. This causes all portrait subreports to spill over producing blank pages. Are there any work-arounds to concatenate multiple, single report PDFs into a single PDF and have page numbering too Thanks! Hi, and thanks. That is what we ended up doing and I am posting the code for the benefit of others. We used PDFSharp (there are several others) and I modified one of their samples into the class below. It worked good and we ended up wit ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. On-screen Xbox 360 Keyboard?

  Sorry if this has been asked before. I was unable to find anything related to it when I searched. In future releases, do you plan on supporting the on-screen keyboard with the Xbox 360 I know there is a component for it, but I would be more comfortable with using the real thing. Also, are there any plans to support the other processor cores I read somewhere that only the first is used and the others just sit there and do nothing. It seems to me that it would be very useful to split, for example, physics into a separate core. Again, sorry if I'm reiterating past questions. Jim Perry: It's not that I don't think the component is good, it's just that it only supports some resolutions and doesn't look exactly ...Show All

Here is my enumeration: Public Enum Processes ForceVolume PeakAdhesion Slope End Enum Regards, Bob I can't seem to duplicate that error. I guess that I must have been doing something dumb. The fact is ... Your first post in this thread can be successfully used to populate a listbox with the Enum strings. And you second post (submitted just minutes later) can be successfully used to populate a listbox with the Enum values (0, 1, 2, etc) ... which I am not sure why anyone would want to do.
