• Visual Studio Express Editions data search

  hi all i'm trying to figure out if its possible to search a database in a way similar to itunes search itunes search works on a key press and with each new charecter typed it refines the possible choices i know you can use 'wild charecters' to replace speciic charecters but am unsure where to start any advise would be apperciated thanks First I would narrow the search down to a single column for performance....keywords, title etc... but from there it is a matter of using a keypress event to build an sql string using a where clause and the 'LIKE' operator and then narrowing the search results as the characters are typed... for example the user types "A" Select * From MyTable Where K ...Show All

  Hi All, i am facing a problem on hitting enter key. my application gets terminated when i press enter key. i have checked (on cancel/on close functions). i am unable to get the function which runs when we press enter key.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple Pass Post-Processing

  This has been bugging me for a while, whenever I try to execute a multiple-pass technique that affects the entire screen, the only pass that makes any difference is the one executed last for example: pass P0 { PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 Blur(); } pass P1 { PixelShader = compile ps_2_0 GrayScale(); } The screen is only changed by the GrayScale effect which is the last pass, I would like to be able to blur the screen, and then make it gray scale without having to make a seperate method that does this. Thankyou for any help, and I'm sorry if I'm unclear. Sadly that didn't seem to work, even with a lot of fiddling, well this is the code that I'm using for my post p ...Show All

• .NET Development Aspect Oriented Programming techniques - intercepting calls to properties/methods - how?

  I'm curious to know how aspect-oriented programming tools for .NET are able to work. In other words, how do you intercept a call to a property getter or setter, or to any other method Is it possible to use reflection and the Emit namespace to read an assembly and replace it with another assembly that is identical except for a few extra method calls before and after what was previously the method body Does this need to happen in a linking step (weaving multiple assemblies together) or could it be done dynamically by replacing an in-memory assembly What restrictions does the CLR impose on reaching into an AppDomain and making in-memory changes to the MSIL there Is it able to re-JIT changed methods Dan O ...Show All

• Windows Forms Capture Form Close

  Hi, I have a Form with 'OK' Button and 'Cancel' Button. If I click 'OK' the form closes and send some page to the Printer. 'Cancel' is to cancel printing.. Issue is, when i click Red Cross button to close the Window.. its giving print... which should perform same action as 'Cancel'.. How to capture when user clicks Cross button to close Window.. Thanks you can implement the form_closing event which will fire when the form is closing either by doing Application.Exit() I believe or doing form.close() or pressing the closing (cross) red button. Does this help once the event is fired and you implemented this event, then do whatever it is you want from the form_closing event. This can be implemented from the designer ...Show All

• Visual C# Saving User Settings on Version Update

  Hi All! The new feature using which we can save user settings in the Settings.settings file is great and very easy to use. What I want to ask is on the assembly version update it null and voids the previous version user settings, my requirement is to use those settings in the next version as well. Like I take DBName, uid, pwd from the user on the first version and save it into the user settings (they need to be in the users settings as they change for each user), when I through an update on them, I'd like to retain those user settings, but they are unsaved and those settings are blank. How can I recover them in c#, so that I can continue to use them in the next version as well I need this urgently to solve my problem, hope you peo ...Show All

• .NET Development When is required a system reboot for a .NET application?

  Hello guys, Do you know of a checklist of what circustances may require to restart your system after installing a .NET Framework application This is my case: I have a .NET Framework application that is installed using an InstallShield basic MSI project, together with the application, a .NET windows service is also installed.

• Visual Basic Using images as baground slows down my program alot!!

  Hi Im working on an aplication and is far from finished, but already now the program seems to be a bit slow. I've experimented with using a picture as a bagground (i really like these small fading bagrounds from light blue to white) but this seems to realy slow my program down when switching beetwen forms (not just in design fase, also in the compiled version) i only use gif images 256 colors so it isnt large images (about 12 kb). I use the tab control and when putting a background image on it, it really slows down!! I have a labtop 2800 Mhz with 756 Mb ram and xp sp2, so the hardware shouldnt be the problem.

• Software Development for Windows Vista IMAPI v1 error on Vista, works on XP

  In testing my application with Vista I've found that the CD Burning module reports an error on Vista. SetActiveDiscRecorder() fails with error IMAPI_E_GENERIC. The format used is Red Book. The same code works in XP on the same computer. The code creates the MSDiscMasterObj instance, calls Open(), SetActiveDiscMasterFormat(IID_IRedbookDiscMaster), enumerates the installed CD recorders, then calls SetActiveDiscRecorder(). I understand that Imapi v2 is a redesigned version of Imapi v1 and that in Vista Imapi v1 is implemented on top of v2, but shouldn't existing v1 code should continue to work Thanks, Flavio. I also see a similar problem - The Code written for XP using IMAPI v1 fail ...Show All
