• Visual C# How to find / locate a control on a form?

  Hi, I have a configuration file, which specifies which controls should be disabled based on certain criteria. The only way I know of getting a refernce to the control in the form is to recursively go through every control. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for me. Does anybody know if there is another way to access the control I need based on its Name property, or any other property Any outside of the box solutions are welcome. Thanks a lot. Lidiya If I have to recurse, does anybody know what search algorithm is used in the ControlsCollection.ContainsKey method Since ControlsCollection is not implemented as a hashtable, I'm trying to figure out performance implications. Thanks again! ...Show All

• SQL Server Alter column with data

  I am trying to use T-SQL to alter a column with data already in it from char to varbinary. This is very easy to do in Enterprise Manager, but just for my own knowledge I'm trying to figure out how to do this in T-SQL. I don't mind losing the data (I'm using a temp table to bring the converted data back in), but I want to keep the column in the same place. Here's what I have so far, but I keep getting an implicit conversion error: UPDATE UserProfile SET PassID = CAST(PassID AS VARBINARY(128)) GO ALTER TABLE UserProfile ALTER COLUMN PassID VARBINARY(128) GO In Enterprise Manager, there is an option to preview the code that will be executed. If you check that you will often find to make a change tha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Blitting?

  I've checked through the XNA Documentation, but there doesn't seem to be any way to 'blit'. For those of you unfirmiliar with 'blit': Blit is a way to draw something. For example, say you create a "Texture2D" variable, set the size etc... But the texture is blank. The normal way to create a texture to this is to load up a bitmap image with it through the ContentManager, right But what if you want to use a whole sprite-sheet with many images Back to the blank, say, 65 x 65 bitmap image, you obviusly don't want this 2D image of the player to be a whole 1024x768 sprite-sheet. So this is where I used blitting in other programs, it basically asks for the x, y co-ordinates, and the length of the bitmap and takes a picture from that x,y and 'c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation sample?

  Great work on XNA GSE 1.0! I downloaded it today and signed up for the 360 Creator's Club. Getting the basic engine code I've been working on under Windows for the past few weeks compiling and running on 360 was far easier than I was expecting (though it would be nice if the IDE had better support for projects that target both platforms). One aspect of the engine I've been avoiding for a while is mesh animation, as there has been talk around here for weeks that a sample would be released and I'd much rather start from a sample, even if it is very simplistic, than dig though the documentation enough to figure out how all the classes fit together. So my simple question is.. any updates on this sample Has it been made available and I'm j ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Server not referred to by the FQDN

  I want the server to refer to itself ONLY by the FQDN. http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/2330/properties9sk.jpg if you have a look in the image - the server name is Fully Qualified, although the link that it will send the user to is not. how do i make them both be the same FQ thank you. The link that the server sends to the client is generally constructed based upon the prototocol and server name used to connect to the server. If you clear the TFS cache on the client and then reconnect using a FQDN, you should see that the client uses that FQDN. There are a few places where TFS uses "absolute" URLs, and if you want a complete FQDN solution, you will need to upda ...Show All

• Visual C++ finding the root path

  Hi, i am working in VC ++ 6.0. i have some problem in hardcoding the path saving the files. My application saves the log files on hard drive (exception handling). for the time being i have hardcoded the path (e.g : c:\programfiles\abc\log) i don't want to hardcode the exact path. i want that my application should save the log files automatically in a folder (application root folder). wherever user installs the application either it should be c:\program files\abc or d:\program files\abc, my log file should automatically pick the root path and save the files in log folder in that root path. Pls help me in doing this. In my opinion, first you should obtain the path of your execut ...Show All

• .NET Development ExecuteNonQuery not working within CLR Stored Procedure

  I've written a CLR stored procedure that pulls the results from a SQL stored procedure using a SqlDataReader. I send out the information via a web service and then try to log information returned by the web service using another SQL stored procedure via the SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery method. The information never gets written back and I get no exception. Any thoughts on how I can get this to work Thanks. I don't think permission is a problem because if it is, usually you'll get an error. I suspect if the insertion code is correct or actually gets executed. You might want to add some tracing or logging to your applicaiton. Also it's better to show some code snippets. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Control On_Load

  I have a custom control and I want to run some code associated with it in the Parent Form on Panels On_Load event. (Similar to what happens when you drag a datasource onto a window, it adds the DataTable.Fill code to the Load event.) I want to do something very similar and I want the Designer to add the code to the parents Load event for me. Note: I do not want to attach a Handler to Parent.Load I want the code to in the load event so it can be easily modified by the end user of the control. Thanks, Martin Shane Horn Ummm... It is seen that it is possible to use the class CodeDomSerializer to realize what you want. Check the help related to this topic. See following articles: htt ...Show All
