• Software Development for Windows Vista Age of Empires II Multiplayer does not connect

  After installing AOE II (2.0a) it runs fine on Vista RTM. However, when trying to connect to a game hosted on another (XP) machine the multiplayer game on XP can not be found (is not displayed in AOE on the Vista pc). Likewise when creating a multiplayer game on Vista it can be seen from XP but no one can connect to it. Firewall has been configured to allow AOE II on UDP and TCP. What else should be done regards, Martin. I couldnt find the answer on the Microsoft website. Did you find an answer - I have the exact same issue with Vista, XP and Age of Empires. I have tried everything thanks Jon ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Specifying Remote Machine name for certain tasks

  I'm working with Microsoft UK's SDC code (See http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegallery/codegallery.aspx id=b4d6499f-0020-4771-a305-c156498db75e ) and it doesn't appear that we can specify remote machines for the creation of Application Pools or web sites --- only CreateVirtualDirectory has a machine name. Am I missing something I don't think this forum is going to be a good place to get questions on these tasks answered - the Team Build team doesn't have any particular expertise with them, and I haven't seen too many users posting re: them either... The gotdotnet site where the tasks can be downloaded has a message board - perhaps there or some other forum would be a better spot. Good luck, and if you get yo ...Show All

• .NET Development How To Easily Change Connection To Access Database Created Using "Add New Data Source" And Draging Table To Form

  Hello, I created a small application that works, but I want to be able to change the location of the database in a more simplier way. By this, I mean to accomplish this task, I could just delete my dataset, binding source, table adapter, and binding navigator. Next, I would add a new data source and connection to point to the new location of the database. But, this would mean that every time I do this I have to also change properties such as color etc etc etc. So, I'm looking for an easier way to change the location of the database in my application. In addition, I have to hard-code the full path to my database using "C" drive etc. Is there any way I could just put the database file in the same folder as ...Show All

• Visual C# Calling methods of a class without creating an instance of it

  Hi, I'm sure this probably has been answered before, but somehow I couldn't find it, so really sorry about that. But how do you call methods of a class without having to create an instance of it I mean, in my project I have something like: public class FileOperations{ public void read_config_file(...) { (...) } } And I want to call the read_config_file(who doesn't depend on anything but the filename and a property where it'll write the config values) without having to do: FileOperations fileOp = new FileOperations(); fileOp.read_config_file(); I was a poor (poor like in noob) Java programmer but I used humm I believe it were static methods in abstract classes, something like that, don't re ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can I change the channel config?

  I using IAudioChannelConfig interface to set channel config. It returns S_OK. And the value I read back is right. But it doesn't work correctly.

  How can I make a progress bar popup in C# WIN form when a button click event has raised and close it when my code has gone to a certain point Palmi wrote: How can I make a progress bar popup in C# WIN form when a button click event has raised and close it when my code has gone to a certain point I think the best way is to make a new form that has only the progress bar control and size the form to only accomodate the progress bar, then set the form properties FormBorderStyle to none so that the form border does not appear then you can use something like :- Form_Progres show = new Form_Progres(); show.ShowDialog(); ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) RC1 with .NET 3.0 install error

  I am getting two errors when trying to install the 3.0 WinFX runtime...I either get that I need to adjust in control panel because it is already installed or I get that I am running the wrong version of windows. In control panel I don't see any kind of WinFx check box and all available check boxes are checked...I want to use the xaml from wpf this is just getting in the way.

• Windows Forms Datagridview - Specific color on one row

  Hi all. Is it possible to mark one row with a specific color I have a datagridview with one or more contracts.(Datasource dtContracts). I would like to mark rows with a specific date RED. (if date column ct-mend is beyound today....it means that this contract is finished ). Is this possible Thanks. Yes. You should be able to do it using the DefaultCellStyle property.

Here is the code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); dataGridView1.Columns.Add( "Column1" , "Column1" ); dataGridView1.Columns.Add( "Column2" , "Column2" ); dataGridView1.Columns.Add( "Column3" , "Column3&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem getting some users to be able to run reports (probably security of some sort)

• Visual Studio Changing section supress formula in VB(or any) code at runtime

  Is there a way to change the fromula that decides whether to suppress a section from within VB when creating the report I tried the normal sectionformat.enablesupress = true but it does not work because I have a formula for suppressing the section in the CR report.rpt file. So im setting the section to suppress but I think that when the report is created, CR goes through the supress formula and overrides my earlier setting. Unfortunately I cant seem to access this supress formula through code. There is no namespace 'thing' sectionformat.enablesupress.text or formula etc. Ive got around this by supressing the objects in the section in code and setting the section to 'suppress if blank' so that I can still use the hard-coded suppre ...Show All
