• Visual Studio Express Editions Simple copy program

  Hi, I'm new to VB (obviously) and I'm trying to create a program that will copy the contents of a CD (to distribute on that CD) to a hard drive. I have tried using a batch program with the "xcopy" command, but Windows XP just doesn't work with a DOS shell too well. Is there a way I can do this with VB Or possibly even Javascript So you are always copying to C:\ - if you distribute that to a wider range you can get into trouble as not all people want stuff on C:\ or maybe their C:\ is almost full and D:\ or some other partition would be more apropriate. Just a guess. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF hosting DirectX

  I am trying to run an app that uses DirectX and C# in a WPF/Vb app. I created a usercontrol with C# that essentially runs the main window of the DirectX app. I tried the usercontrol with .NET 2.0 and Windows Forms and all is OK. I then tried it with WPF and I got a LoaderLock error which I got around by turning off the LoaderLock exception in VS2005. I do not get any exceptions but the DirectX part of the original app does not render. All the other controls in the original app render OK inside the WPF window, but the DirectX part is black. Any ideas Thanks John Unfortunately i did not write the DirectX app and some parts are obscure. However, did find that the render loop is in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Viz rebuilding unnecessarily?

  Ever since I moved to C# express 2005 for XNA, every project in my solution gets rebuilt every time I build, even if nothing has changed. If I build and then immediately build again without changing anything, it still rebuilds the entire project. Why is this happening, and how do I stop it If it's of any significance, this project was migrated from Visual Studio 2003. Before the conversion it was fine. I must unfortunately report that I am seeing the same thing. And it's particularly bad for me because I've got a long content build, even though none of the assets are changing in between builds. If I can't figure it out, I'm going to have to resort to using the XNA Content Builder (XCB) put out by the xnad ...Show All

• Windows Forms transparent label?

  Holla Im designing a new user form. How do I create a label with transparent back color There is a field "Transparent" at the properties-dialog wich inserts "Color.transparent", but it doesn't work. The label has the same color like the window. Is there a way to get a real transparent label Thanks knackpunkt83 Instead of placing your label on a picturebox, use a panel. Set the background image of the panel for your image. Color.Transparent will now work for the label. Visually, you can't tell the difference. ...Show All

• Windows Forms What does "Control.ControlCollection" mean in the documentation?

  What do "Form.ControlCollection" and " Control.ControlCollection" mean in the FCL documentation Form and Control are not namespaces so perhaps ControlCollection is declared a nested class inside the Form and Control classes respectively Is this new to the V2 FCL (I don't remember seeing the use of nested classes much in the V1.1 FCL) They are not nested classes, just two different classes with the same name that live in different namespaces. System.Windows.Forms.ControlCollection has very different methods (just Add and Remove) than System.Windows.Controls.ControlCollection (loads of methods). Namespaces are invented to give different classes the same name. Of course, it does m ...Show All

• .NET Development passing a dataset through a webservice

  Hi, I'm a really a newby in .NET webservices technologies. I've just started in. I want to pass a typed dataset from my client app to the webserver application. To start, I created a webmethod and passed a dataset parameter to it. For instance: <WebMethod> Public Function PassDataSet(ByVal orderDataSet As OrderDataSet) As Integer _orderDataSet = orderDataSet Return 0 End Function _orderDataSet is an attribute of the webservice class. The problem I have is that my _orderDataSet is not stored as persistent, so It becomes empty when I try to call it from an other method. I don't have any idea about how to perform that. I heard about XML serialization, but I don't know how to apply it in this simple practical case. Excuse m ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development InternetOpen with specific IP address when Client machine has multiple network adapter

  In .Net Framework 2.0, it is possible to specify the local endpoint that the HttpWebRequest should use when connecting to the other end. This can be done by setting the BindIPEndPointDelegate in the Servicepoint. In Win32 platform, I need the same function as above. That is to specify a IP address to do HTTP or FTP get. There is a function named InternetOpen. It is the first WinINet function called by an application. It tells the Internet DLL to initialize internal data structures and prepare for future calls from the application. But there are not places to specify from which IP address in client machine the HTTP client application choose to load a page from a Web server.

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro Downgrade Help

  I recently formatted my pc at work and and to reinstall all of my applications. I tried installing Visual FoxPro 9.0, however it was not working correctly. It kept giving me the error "Cannot locate the Microsoft Visual FoxPro support library." So I uninstalled this, and tried installing Visual FoxPro 8.0. The program now runs fine on it's own, however, whenever I try to run a FoxPro-based application (i.e. Mail Order Manager), I still get the same error. I don't know if the application is still trying to use remnants of FoxPro 9.0, or what. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this Thanks in advance, Steve >> Here, the program I'm trying to run (Mail-Order Manager) is Fox-based. It ne ...Show All

• SQL Server Regarding parameter passing

  Hi guys... As of now I'm working on a certian report which needs to pass a certain parameter to another dataset... I'm refering to the dataset of the same report. Can anyone tell me how this is done I really need to know it to finish my report... Thanks a bunch in advance! You have to create a report parameter that uses the dataset you want to reference and then refer to the parameter in the dataset in which you wish to use it. To stop users from seeing this dummy parameter mark it as internal. If I've not understood you and this makes no sense then please put a more detailed explanation of your problem together with an example of exactly what you need to do and what you are trying. ...Show All
