• Visual Studio Express Editions Trouble with database connections

  Hello all, I'm trying to get some data from a table in an Access database, and my program is behaving weirdly (at least i think so). Ok, so for now, i want to run this query: Dim query As String = MonthCalendar1.SelectionStart ' + " " + ComboBox1.Text + ComboBox2.Text + " " + ComboBox3.Text Dim myQuery1 As String = "SELECT [BID]FROM Table1 WHERE [Date]=" + query + "" Dim myConn1 As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:Documents and settings\dbase.mdb") Dim myCommand1 As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(myQuery1, myConn1) myConn1.Open() Dim myReader1 As OleDbDataReader = myCommand1.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseCo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Demos Released

  Hi All, I've just started a new series of XNA demos on my website. So far I have 3 demos: XNA Per-Pixel Lighting Demo, XNA Normal Mapping Demo, and XNA Parallax Normal Mapping Demo. I haven't included any pre built executables with the demos, so you'll have to build them yourself from the source provided with each demo. The demos target the Windows platform, but should run with little or no modifications for the Xbox 360. I chose to only target Windows to reduce the complexity of the source code. The per-pixel lighting demo implements per-pixel Blinn-Phong lighting (including specular lighting). The normal mapping demo implements tangent-space normal mapping. The demo also shows you how to calculate the tangent space basis vectors ...Show All

• SQL Server Differences between 2000 and 2005

  Just installed 2005 Enterprise Edition on an XP Media computer... I am blown away because nothing looks familiar to me. Anyone else feel lost Where is the best site for specific changes from 1 version to another... it appears that Enterprise Manager is gone, Query Analyzer is gone, my brain is gone thx Kat SQL Server Enterprise Edition is supposed to only be installable on server operating systems. XP Media Center is a workstation operating system, so I'm surprised you could install Enterprise on it at all. SQL Server Developer Edition is functionally equivalent to Enterprise Edition, except it can be installed on Windows XP or Windows Vista. Note that the Developer Edition license doesn't let you use the Developer Edit ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual Studio runs like a dog with more than 30 projects

  Hi, Not exactly related to VS SDK, but don't know where else to post, looking for thoughts from people with a deep understanding of the VS IDE. Over the past few years of developing with VS, each time I add a new c# project, VS seems to get a little slower to do things, to the point that it sometimes takes 5 mins to just load a form in designer mode in the IDE when I have over 100 C# projects in my system. It only takes me a couple of months of full time development to get to 100 projects (99 projects compile to individual DLLs that contain 3 or 4 Winforms typically, one project contains the main exe) and then the whole thing runs like a dog. One of the projects is also a used by all other projects as having the base classes fo ...Show All

• Visual C# error message: An object reference is required for the nonstatic field ....

  I am getting the error 'An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property ' when I attempt to run my client application. I am not sure what is wrong and the documentation on this error (#CS0120) in the VS.NET IDE is confusing to me. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong MY code is below. People is a collection class and myPeople is obviously an instance of it. Because the error appears to involve the client code and not the class library with the implementation of People, I did not include that code. I could if it would be helpful. Thanks for any help. using System; using PeopleLib; namespace Ch11N01 { /// <summary> /// Summary description for Class1. /// </summa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Execution Speed

  Is there some reason that VB Express runs slower than VB I get the following times when reading from one file and writing to another file in random and sequential modes: Random File: VB6 running in Excel - 2.15 seconds (using Get and Put) VB Express running in debugging mode - 122 seconds VB Express compiled - 49 seconds Sequential File: VB6 running in Excel - 1.14 seconds (using Get and Put) VB Express running in debugging mode - 19 seconds VB Express compiled - 5 seconds There were two different files used, the first a bitmap file, and the second a text file.

• Visual Studio How to include the license file as resource file through MSBuild?

  I have a '.license' file with me and I need to include that while building the project. Previously I used to do the following <cs.build projectFile='Service.csproj' compilerOptions='/res:"Service.exe.licenses"'> I have tried to include it as a project property as follows: < MSBuild Targets = " Rebuild " Projects=" Service.csproj; " Properties = " Configuration=Release;Resources=Service.exe.licenses; StopOnFirstFailure = " true " /> But this doesn't seem to work.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Beta 2 announced (date 'in a couple of weeks')

  http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/archive/2006/10/23/announcing-xna-game-studio-express-beta-2.aspx I doubt any such templates will be very usefull for the second beta, because from what i've read and seen, the Content Pipeline is integrated with the IDE, and the content is processed at build time. I would like to use Visual C# Pro, mainly because the Express Edition doesn't integrate with Team Explorer, but I am afraid I'll have to manage my source control in another way, since it looks like it's either this, or loosing the Content Pipeline. Hope I'm wrong, though. Any official opinions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MDI Child Form Problem (not showing)

  I am having difficulty with a MDI child/parent relationship for my C# winforms project. I currently have a several controls (button, menu strip, etc.) that call the same function to open a new child form. The main form has the propery of MDI container as it was set on the properties window (not programmatically). However, when I click on the button, the form does not show up. If I make the form so it is not an MDI child (by commenting the second line of code below), it does pop up just fine...but that's not what I want. Here is the code that I have for the function. I have just recently added the .focus method because I saw that mentioned on another forum post and it didn't work. [code] frmSearch frmSearch = new frmSearch(); frmSearch.Mdi ...Show All
