• Visual C++ ManagementObjectSearcher

  why would the code below give me this: 'System::Management::ManagementObjectSearcher::ManagementObjectSearcher(System::String ^)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'System::Management::ManagementObjectSearcher ^' to 'System::String ^' String ^q = "SELECT Name from Win32_Service where Name = '" ; q += currentProcess->ProcessName; q += "'" ; ManagementObjectSearcher Searcher = gcnew ManagementObjectSearcher(q); do i really need to explicitly cast q and if so, is it the same in clr as it was in c++ so using the new 'hat' stuff it'd be something like: (System::String ^)q nm, i'm an idiot ;( it needs to be either: ManagementObjectSearcher ^ Searcher = g ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Windows Mobile 5.0 ppc phone edition

  I have a VPA compact, running a German version of Windows Mobile 5.0 ppc phone edition. Is there a way were i can change this to English. Thanks yes, 1. if you have the source you can change it yourself, or 2. if the app is already set up for localization, then its use of language should be driven by the culture/locality settings on the device. unfortunately I'm guessing this is not the case -- assuming your device is already set up for English/US, the app should already display English if it's engineered to do so. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Nested Designer Surfaces

  Is it possible to nest one design surface within another I want to design a language that enables hierarchical modeling where one design surface has high-level shapes that represent other models which have their own language and design surfaces. Ideally, I'd like the user to be able to double-click on a high-level shape and open the nested design surface, etc. How would I approach this using the DSL tools If my gut is correct, the best way to do this would be by selectivly hiding and showing nested "children". They would still be there on the diagram surface, just not shown. You would probably have to write some shape logic code to handle layout as well. How close did I get Gareth ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Components w/ different timings?

  I like the model of specifying Game.TargetElapsedTime and responding to update events, but can I conrtol this on multiple components For example, let's say that I want to randomize the weather conditions in my game. I'd like this to update every minute or so. On the other hand, some things need to update every frame (ike controller input or sprites positions). One way to handle this would be to simply have methods like UpdateWeather() , and UpdateSprites() and so on, and have multiple if/then blocks in my main Update() code that determine whether it's time to call one of the other update methods. However, it'd be nice to offload this monitoring somehow so I could just declare in my init code how often certain components get updated. A ...Show All

• SQL Server unable to access "install windows components"

  I didn’t know where to put this so sorry if this is not the appropriate place. I am running Windows XP pro sp2 with visual studio 2005, ms sql server 2005, and a number of other applications. My problem is that I am not allowed to install new windows components(I want to install IIS). When I try to access from either control panel, add/remove programs, Install new windows components or directly from the winXP cd I get the following error in a pop-up form and I can only press "OK": "Another copy of Setup is already running. Complete the other Setup or restart Windows." I am not running the instance more than once. I do this as the first thing after a restart with the same result. When looking at the processes in the task manager I cant see ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Data Flow task fails to load all text from flat file

  Hi Guys, I have a flat file which is loaded into the database on a daily basis. The file contains rows of strings which I load into a table, specifically to a column of length 8000. The string has a length of 690, but the format is like 'xxxxxx xx xx..' and so on, where 'xxxx' represents data. So there are spaces, etc present in the middle. Previously I used SQL 2000 DTS to load the files in, and it was just a Column Transformation with the Col001 from the text file loading straight to my table column. After the load, if I select len(col) it gives me 750 for all rows. Once I started to migrate this to SSIS, I allocated the Control Flow Task and specified the flat file source and the oledb destination, and gave the output column ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions What is the difference between VB Express, VB Studio and VB .Net?

  The title says it - what is the difference between these Would I be right in saying that VB Express is a stripped down version of VB (like outlook express is a stripped down version of outlook) - and that VB.net is VB with the .net framework incorporated into it Also, what is visual Studio Thanks for your advice!!! Steve     Here's a way to think of Visual studio .... take VBE, C++ express, C# express and Add JSharp plus a few IDE enhancements and you'd have Visual Studio.   VBE has had a little bit stripped out of it, a couple of templates. The ability for the IDE to connect to a remote datasource and a few displays like SHow Stack.  I'm a very demanding user and there was only one thing ...Show All
