• Visual C++ Reinstalling VC++ 2005 - New machine

  Hi,   This week, I acquired a new computer.  Before I erase former computer, I installed and configured my development environment.  No problems except when I tried to install and configure Visual Studio 2005.   Everything went OK except the fact that after successfully compiling a sample C++ application, I cannot run it...  I even tried to run a few C++ applications (.exe) I made in the past (out of VC++ 2005 environment on former computer), directly from Windows explorer, and I cannot run them either...  Seems something is missing...   I compared programs installed between my former machine and my new machine and the only difference I could see  ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using dataview to search through a datagrid

  Hi, I have a datagrid as follows: CaseID Name Date 1234 abc 12/23/41 5678 def 1/23/42 9876 ghi 2/24/42 Now what I want is a search functionality that takes the value of the caseID and returns the value within the same datagrid. So when I search for CaseID 1234, the datagrid is populated as follows CaseID Name Date 1234 abc 12/23/41 I was wondering if somebody can point out how to do the above. I want to populate the same datagrid with the value of the search. Thanks thanks a lot...but for some reason the grid isn't changing for me. It still stays the same after the updated data view is applied. Would you know a reason why that might be happening ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.NET autoshifting focus question.

  Question: I'm trying to have a series of phone number frields auto-shift focus when one is complete. I.e., you fill in 3 digits of area code and the focus automatically shifts to the next text box. Any help would be great. Thanks, zim basically on a keypress event you check to see if the current textbox (which has the keypress event) has 3 characters, if so, then move focus to the other textbox: Me.theOtherTextBox.Focus() and this will move the focus from one textbox to the other specified textbox to check the length/number of characters entered in a textbox: Me.theTextBox.Text.Length so.... if Me.theTextBox.Text.Length = 3 then Me.theOtherTextBox.Focus( ...Show All

  Hello! I have a tool which would run as a service in the background, and I want it to send a mail every day at, let's say 02:00am.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting an attached property by a Setter element?

  I have the fragment below as contents of a <Grid> element. The idea is that if the checkbox is checked the <TreeView> element should only span one instead of two columns. When I check the checkbox the background of the treeview turns red, but the treeview continues to span 2 instead of 1 column. It's a bit like the attached property Grid.ColumnSpan does not get assigned by the <Setter Property="Grid.ColumnSpan" Value="1"/> at all. What should I do in order to achieve what I want Best regards, Henrik Dahl < TreeView x:Name = " Blas " ItemsSource = " {Binding Path=BlasRoot.Children} " d:LayoutOverrides = " Width " Margin = " 0,0,0,8 " Gr ...Show All

  Hello! I have been trying to figure out the best way to do this, read so much about tonite, head is spining, must sleep. But before I go, hoping someone can help me out.

• Visual Basic Updating a pivot table

  Hello, My name's Richie. I am trying to set up a macro which will update a pivot table automatically with given values. I have a pivot table containing several fields of information about our customers. One of the fields is in fact Customer. On another tab, Customer list, I have a list of 5 customers. This list is not static i.e. the names change regularly. I want to run a macro that produces a report on these 5 customers. I need this macro to return the Customer name as per the names that are in the Customer list tab. In other words, the pivot table field Customer, is updated with the first customer name from this Customer list tab, the relevant values are returned & copied to a new sheet, then the pivot table is updated for the se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Two things: Shadows and Animated Meshes

  I have two different questions. I'm a C# newbie (been doing coding in various languages for quite sometime, so must of my C# issues are syntax related usually), and a 3D graphics programming newbie (though I've been doing 3D modelling etc for quite a while...up until now the apps have been doing my pictures for me) First off I made a very simple animated FBX, just using recorded keyframes and basic transformations (not going to start out trying to mess with a skinned mesh or anything!). I can load it into the content manager and view it using the basic tutorial model viewer. How would I go about cycling through the animation frames Is there an easy way to do it in GSE or is this a complicated process Also I have another little project wit ...Show All

  Is it possible to get some indication what Microsoft developed 'GameComponents' might be included as part of the final release of GSE I would like to create some re-usable game components myself, but I'd prefer not to spend a lot of time on game components that will eventually be released by Microsoft. Some game components I'm wondering about: Input Components Camera Components Framerate Components Drawing Components (both 2D and 3D) etc... Thanks.
