• Visual Studio Installing 32 bit or 64 bit?

  I am not sure which software cd I should install on my pc – the 32 bit, or the 64-bit for MS Visual Studio 2005, the Professional Edition. I already installed the 32-bit, but now I think I may have installed the wrong one, how can I find out which one I should be using Any help would be appreciated! Visual Studio 2005 is a 32-bit application if you install it on your 64-bit Windows platform it will install the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the .NET Framework. If you have already installed the 32-bit that you are set to go :-) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Equivalent for <see langword="null"/>

  Hi, NDoc used to have an extremely cool feature that allows you to include phrases like 'null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic)' in your code without typing it all the time. It's documented in http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/content/tag_see.htm. I have noticed that these special tags don't seem to work in sandcastle. Is there an equivalent feature for this somewhere If not, could this feature be added because it is extremely useful and not just for null. Regards, Michael I'd like to see not only the NDoc "see langword" support as mentioned above, but also the other NDoc 1.3 tags. It's nice that there's an abbreviated set of tags that are "recommended," but I think there are a lot like t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Although I’m a huge C++ fan but.. XNA will be using C#, DirectX is now shipped with many samples tutorials for managed frame work, and the bench mark between C++VS C# graphic applications isn’t noticeable even sometimes its better on C# with all that I guess its time to migrate from C++ to C#... ...Show All

  Hi guys, I'm working on application with multiple instances running in the same machine. In this application I'm accessing file "test.txt" and the other instances also needs this file.

• .NET Development Query about DataSet

  Hi, Since we all know dataset is a form of disconnected recordset, wherein it connects to a database using an adapter, gets the data in the form of a tables(s) and then disconnects from the database. The user can do any number of manipulation on it, and the data can be updated to the database at one go. Now my question is, in a distributed environment, suppose the dataset has some data in it,a nd before its updates itself to the database, if someone else changes that same data in the database, how does it synchronize itself. How does this thing work. Regards, Bhaskar I could be wrong but I believe whoever updates their dataset to the database, gets commited over writting whatever data already existed. the dataset ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save

  How do I Save a file with out calling the dialog box, at the moment I can SaveAs the file(with dialog box) but what I'm after is when you click just save it just saves the file that is opened in its original format with any alterations that have been made. The program is a cut down version of a text editor. When you use the dialogbox you presumably have something like: If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then ' some code to save the file End If To save it without the dialogue then just put the code you run there into your Save button click event, replacing the dialog.filename property with the name of the file you opened originally.

• SQL Server AggregateFunction -- Does "None" Work?

  Does the AggregateFunction of "None" actually work I have a fact table with a single related dimension. The dimension is for a set of products, with a four-level user hierarchy. The fact table has a measure that only makes sense at the lowest level of the product hierarchy. Thus, when designing the measure group, I created a measure from the fact table and set the AggregateFunction on the measure to "None". I expected to be able to browse down the product hierarchy and see the value of the measure at the lowest level of the hierarchy. Unfortunately, I don't see any values (everything appears to be Null). To ensure the values were getting read, I created a second measure in the measure group using the AggregateFunc ...Show All
