• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ScrollViewer and KeyDown

  Hi guys, Here's my scenario. I have a ScrollViewer hosting an ItemsControl that uses a vertically oriented StackPanel full of TextBlock's. (In other words, I'm trying to mimic a listbox.) My question is, how do I get my StackPanel to recieve KeyDown notifications so I can use the keyboard to navigate/select my list of items. Currently, what happens is that the ScrollViewer recieves the notification and scrolls instead. I should point out that I'm laying out the items by using a DataTemplate. <Window.Resources>     <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type entityCollection:SomeEntity}" x:Key="listBoxItemTemplate">       <Grid Margin="2,2,2,2">     & ...Show All

• Windows Forms Odd Control Painting Behavior

  I'm having some odd painting problems with a control I created when the app is run in release mode OUTSIDE of the VS2005 IDE. The control is a custom progress indicator that simply has abox bouncing back and forth to show activity. The updating of the control is occuring in a timer event. The control visually updates fine in eith debug or release when run in the IDE and in debug mode outside of the IDE, but not in release mode outside the IDE. I have tried calling .Refresh() on the control after .Invalidate() in the controls paint event as well as .Flush() on the graphics class in the controls paint event. I placed MessageBoxs in the paint event and I can tell the the controls paint event is happening. Has anyone else seen this type of beh ...Show All

But if i create a event for RowInsert this events gets fired to many times when the grid is being populated. (I get my data from a progress db og all my data is in "dataset.tables[0]." For instance.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Component Design Guidelines?

  Anyone have any suggestions, tips, experiences, etc regarding designing and developing Game Components With the move of the GraphicsComponent to a service (which makes sense), one of my questions is remains: what makes a good Game Component In pre beta 1, other Game Components that were hinted at were a Camera and Fps Counter. In beta 2, would these still be Game Components, or be left at system-level Is the choice as simple as whether or not your would-be-component has an Update method that takes a single GameTime parameter Same goes for IDrawable, if a Draw method with a single GameTime parameter is sufficient, should this be a Drawable Game Component Is it a never-ending debate such as the guidelines for designing Interfaces ...Show All

• SQL Server Import/Export data with SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hello folks! I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express and SQL Server Management Studio Express. Everything looks ok and works fine, but I can't find the Data Import/Export Wizard.  Can anyone tell me how to Import/Export data Thank you!!! You can you other means to move data in and out of SQL Express that don't rely on SSIS. BCP is one such tool, you can find more information about BCP at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162802.aspx. If you are working with data in Access, you can use the functionality of Access to directly export the data into SQL Server. Most other programs can generate data in a format that BCP can accept.

• SQL Server Access/Server

  How do you change the connection string of a DataSet We have been using MSAccess for our database, but have recently upgraded to SQLServer Express. I was able to successfully upsize the Access database and now all information resides on the server. In my VisualBasic program, the dataset itself has around 200 queries total spread out on multiple table adapters. The problem now is that none of these queries work because the dataset is bound to the Access table. I have changed connection string through code and am able to display the information, but am unable to interact with it until i get the dataset connection changed. I would rather just change the connection of the dataset somehow rather than build a new dataset, reconnect all form ...Show All
