• .NET Development Calculated column

  Hi Folks, I have a calculated column in a dataset in my VB 2005 app (added to data set, but not in database) that uses values from 2 other columns multiplyed, and displays that number for the user. Quantity(dec, 18) * Rate(dec,18) = caluculated column 'Total' (dec,18) When ever the user places a decimal number in the quantity column, the value rounds up to the next whole number -- I do not want the number round to the next whole, and also need to limit the results to 2 decimal places. I first thought this was a control problem in a data grid -- it wasn't; I tried seperate text box controls, but with the same results - numbers round up to the next whole. The only other place I could have this problem is in the data set calculate ...Show All

• .NET Development Machine Config Runtime entry being ignored

  I'm trying to get the Codebase element to reference a dll from a directory other than the base directory, but my machine.config runtime element seems to be ignored. I'm guessing that the section element type of IgnoreSection is the problem, but what do I replace it with so the runtime element is used Here is the section element concerned: <section name="runtime" type="System.Configuration.IgnoreSection, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" allowLocation="false" /> Any advice welcomed.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Convert Local Live Polygon coordinate to Lat/Long

  First off, MS release of Local.Live is great in the sense that users can now zoom in, highlight an area, and then share that highlighted area via the polygon feature of scratch pad. My question: Is there a way to go from local.live's coded polygon coordinates to lat/long We'd really like to collect polygons drawn on local.live and re-use them in a VE implementation. However, the polygon points are encoded and VE wants lat/long points. Ultimately we could try to re-build WLL, but trying to build the scratch pad looks tricky. For example, given this URL: http://local.live.com/ v=2&sp=Polygon.pfy1bp5c6008_pfy19f5c63q3_pfxt1f5c63t0_pfxsrx5c5zst_pfxty85c5z46_pfy0j75c5z2t_pfy19f5c5zkz_pfy1bp5c6035_pfy1bp5c6008_Test%20field____%2 ...Show All

• Visual C++ Same verification messages popup twice

  Hi, I set DDV_MinMaxInt with a range of values for an Edit box in my MFC based application. When I enter a value is not in the ramge, the verification message box will poped up. After I click "OK", the same message box will pop up again. Does anyone have a idea why that happends Okay..., I found the answer. The DDV_MinMaxInt is called both in UpdateData function and base class CDialog::OnOK(). So if you don't want same message popup twice, do update data yourself instead calling the UpdateData(true) function. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Generator walkthrough documentation error?

  Hi, I am somewhat new to C# (less than a year though I've been programming for way more than ten years) and even newer to VS2005 (a whole day now!) so there is a chance that I am the problem. Anyway, I think I have found an error in the documentation for creating a Custom Generator or, less likely, an error in the Generator class itself. In the documentation it says that the GenerateNextValues() class needs to be overridden however this method is sealed. The method OnGenerateNextValues() is virtual. Should the reference in the documentation be to OnGenerateNextValues() or is there really a problem in the class In the walkthough there is an instruction to right click on the overridden class name (Generator) in the code window an ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A Managed DirectX9 UserControl on a web application

  Hello, i've been searching the internet for a while, but cannot find proof that it is possible to user Managed DirectX functionality (embedded in a UserControl) in a C# Web applet. Has anyone come across some code or references that proof that it either can or cannot be done I guess that given the proper permissions it should even from whitin an embedded UserControl be possible to render 3D images, but before i spend hours and hours trying the impossible, i was wondering if someone else has already tried this... Please give a yell and thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken Thanx, that was just the kind of info i was looking for... Nevertheless too bad that it isn’t possible... Peter Vrenken ...Show All

• Commerce Server 64-bit CS 2007 - Custom Pipelines - Registration/Deployment Process

  Can someone help me out with the steps to deploy aa 64-bit version of custom pipelines from 32-bit VS 2005. Building the project in ".NET" allows for the framework loader to automatically build to the proper framework installed. But our custom pipelines do not appear to be registered because they appear as broken legs when viewed via the Pipeline Editor. I have found no links discussing this issue so any help is much appreciated! Max, Our custom components appeared to be broken because we were using the 32-bit pipeline editor to view pipelines with 64-bit components. When we open the pipeline in the 64-bit editor, then our components appear fine. The issue we have now is that our custom ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Failure to repaint

  Hello, I'm new here but not new to programming. My recent programming has been with Borland C++ Builder and Delphi, pre .NET editions. I like what I see in C# / .NET. For my first C# application I wrote a windows app that displays a pie chart of how much space on a storage drive is used by a particular sub-tree, e.g. how much of drive D: is used by Music, how much by SourceCode, etc. I have a panel across the top with a ComboBox for the drive plus some text display and the lower part of the window is a splitter. The left plane of the splitter contains a tree view of the files and the right panel is used to display the pie chart. Drawing occurs in the Paint event of the panel using FillEllipse and FillPie. Mostly this works fi ...Show All
