• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 Express asks always for registration

  I am not sure what went wrong but VB 2005 Express Edition does not stop popping up on me via NotifyIcon Balloon Message, telling me that I should click there to register. I repeated this steps already several times and got even the THANK YOU email but when ever I open the program again I get the same ... I have no idea what to do about it! Any suggestions Glenn Wilson wrote: If you installed the package from the cd you do not have to register the product (As per the registration FAQ), but you will be asked. This dialog will continue for the first few times that you run the applications, over time this will stop. ...Show All

• SQL Server No ADO type command for Data Flow?

  I'm probably not looking in the right place, but all I could find when creating a data flow task was OLE DB Commands.  I was trying to utilize a dataaccesslayer piece of code that we use every where in our projects, but because it uses ADO and not OLE DB, it caused an issue between the column data types. Is there an ADO command object available   Or are we forced to use the OLE DB command object   All I was looking to do was to Execute a SQL command.  There's an object on the Control Flow level to do that, but not on the Data Flow level---not sure why that is. Thanks, Jeff Tolman E&M Electric Its because executing a stand-alone SQL statement isn't relevant for a data-flow. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Animate page transition

  Hi, I would like to know the best way to animate page transitions. I have to do a "North Face" like app for my company and putting all the content in one page and then animate all the elements seems very heavy to me. So my idea was to use diferent pages for each part of the application, the problem is that I have to give smooth transitions like fade or even 3D rotation. Is this possible Thanks Bruno Silva This is actually quite easy to do. Look at how I do it in AnimationBehaviors on CodePlex http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx ProjectName=AnimationBehaviors The trick is to hook the Navigating event in the NavigationService and cancel it. then run your animations, then do the final Navigation.

• Windows Forms Eating MouseWheel Events

  I have a PixtureBox placed in a panel with AutoScroll enabled. I use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out of the image. I was able to add the mousewheel event code and this is working just fine but the image not only zooms, it scrolls with the mouse wheel as well. I would rather not have the image scoll due to the mouse wheel. I have seen examples for C# to use WndProc() to capture the WM_MOUSEWHEEL msg, but I can't seem to get these to port to C++. I have tried the following (Based on the only C++ example I could find)... void WndProc(Message* m) { const int WM_MOUSEWHEEL = 0x020A; switch (m->Msg) { case WM_MOUSEWHEEL: //TODO: Image Zoom Code Goes here... break ; } Form::WndProc(m); } This giv ...Show All

• .NET Development problem with invalid character while reading by XmlTextReader

  Hi All! I'm creating a server connection box in C# which can obtain a list of servers on the Local Network (MSSQL, Oracle and MySQL). I've successfully got MSSQL covered, but am still in need of assistance creating lists of the available Oracle/MySQL servers on the network, and have not been able to figure this out thus far.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Loading 3D Landscapes

  Hello, I would like to start this thread as hopefully a complete how-to with 3D Landscapes until the documentation is availalble. Here are my initial questions: These would pertain more for those that want a shooter or mmorg, but useful for all! 1.) How would one load a 3d heightmap and view it 2.) How can you apply splatting to the landscape using alpha maps 3.) How can one go about paging the landscape ie: each sector would be (say 512 x 512) - how can you load/unload the maps to save resources. 4.) Performance - why choose .png over .bmp or .jpg for heightmap, alphamp and textures I wouldn't hold my breath for documentation in XNA on how to make 3d landscapes. Their are many opt ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get Authenticode to work with ClickOnce???

  We are unable to use the clickonce "Run" button unless the "Run components NOT signed with Authenticode" is set to enabled in IE.  However, we have a good digital signature on setup.exe. The problem is that the "Run" link in the published html file is actually pointing to the Application Manifest file, not setup.exe.  According to the MS SignTool.exe, the Application Manifest file is NOT a file type that can be signed with Authenticode.  Only file types like exe, dll, etc... To add to the confusion, in the Click Once settings under Signing, our certificate is selected next to the checkbox that is labled, "Sign the ClickOnce manifests". How do we sign our ClickOnce application so that Internet Exp ...Show All
