• Visual J# Convert Java code with generics

  I have a Java project that I would like to convert to C#. However, it uses generics extensively, and the JLCA 3.0 is choking on them. Is there any tool to automagically convert this code Is there a new version of JLCA coming out to support this scenario I've converted some of it by hand, and once you get past the syntax differences, the C# generics work fine. Hi JLCA 3.0 does not support generic programming conversion.The supported features of JLCA 3.0 can be found here . As of now we dont have any plans to support generic programming.The manual conversion will be helpful. Thanks, Natarajan. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to use ReportEmbeddedResource in ReportViewer WebForm control?

  In winform application, it's easy to set rdlc built as embedded resource. But how can I do that in a web application I tried to reference a class library project with rdlc embedded as resource, but the ReportViewer WebForm control cann't find the rdlc resource. The viewer will try to load the resource from the same assembly that sets the ReportEmbeddedResource property. This means that if you have the RDLC file in a class library, code from within that library needs to set the property. This can be difficult in a traditional ASP.Net application where the reportviewer is added to the page in an aspx file rather than instantiated in a code behind file. You have two options: 1. Pass a reference to the R ...Show All

• Windows Forms Detecting the Letter Clicked

  Hello, I'm creating an interactive program, and I render labels one after another down the control. When the user clicks on a word in the label, I want to write an algorithm to detect which word was clicked. Has anybody done something like this I have an idea how to do it, but am not quite sure. Thanks. Hey, Thanks, that was what I was thinking; though I was going to go one letter at a time, using sizing to determine whether we selected the targeted letter; label is on one line, though sometimes is multi-lined, so I figured when I size the entire line, I will have to perform a math calculation to count the number of rows. I use the same font as the form, so that will be good... Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GameServices

  Hi, could someone please explain simply how to turn a GameComponent that I've written into a GameService that can be accessed by any GameComponent. i.e. What class needs to implement IMyGameService What should it expose How do I go about registering my service with the Game. A link to a thread/article or a new explanation that explains this would be great. I've seen a few half-explanations around, but nothing full. Still, a concise but thorough summary would be the best. Thanks a lot... I'll give you an example from my engine for creating a camera service since the linked example leaves a couple of important things out. One method for adding a camera to components that use one  would be to m ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS2005 mishandling binary files

  I have seen several posts regarding the corruption of pdf files in VSS2005, as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925234. This appears to be an issue for us on version 8.0.50727.42. I have plans of requesting the hotfix described from our MS support rep. We installed VSS standalone, outside the Visual Studio 2005 system, so the service pack recommended in the article will not install. I have added *.pdf to our binary file mask in our srcsafe.ini files for all of our databases (Binary_Masks = *.doc;*.dll;*.exe;*.ocx;*.pdf). The files are all identified and treated properly except the pdf files. When a pdf is added to the database, it is identified as binary and not corrupted. However the problem occurs on any subsequent ch ...Show All

• Visual C# Sleep or timer for very small interval?

  I am working on some laser show software that draws points very rapidly for laser graphics. I need to draw points up to 30000 points/second and at event intervals. So, I need to call my MovePoint(x,y) function at intervals as small as 0.00003 seconds or 0.03 milliseconds. Obviously, the standard Sleep and Timer functions won't do me any good. So, what alternatives do I have One thing I have thought of doing is to call an unmanaged C function that exectutes assembly language NOPs. But is there a better way Would QueryPerfomanceCounter do anything for me I know it can give me preciese time measurement but I don't know how I could use it to pause or trigger an event.
