• Visual Basic my sql

  can i have help with the codes in mysql to save chinese characters in the database i am using the ms sql server with vb studio 2003. thanks Scott, is indeed correct with the data types required in the database If you want to store Uni-Code Characters then you can use the nchar and nvarchar http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176089.aspx If your wanting to store non-unicode characters then you can use vhar and varchar. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176089.aspx There is a different data storage size implication in using the nchar, nvarchar datatypes which may be unneccesary if you are using non-unicode characters. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Orcas and VS2005 SP1?

  What's the relationship between these two More specifically, will Orcas fix all bug that will be fixed in SP1 Orcas is the next version of Visual Studio. Hopefully bugfixes of SP1 will also be included in Orcas, but the code base might be different so that merging bug fixes of VS2005 SP1 to Orcas will not always be easy. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Window opacity toolbar

  I want to make a toolbar that allows the user to adjust the opacity of the currently open window. Is this possible What would I need to do Jeremy is correct that directly manipulating IE's HWNDs is NOT officially supported and you risk compatibility issues with future versions. That disclaimer aside, even though it's a hack what you're asking for is fairly straightforward. Basically you just need to use IWebBrowser2::get_HWND() to get the top-level window and then add the WS_EX_LAYERED style and use SetLayeredWindowAttributes(). There are several public domain tools that can do this to any window. ...Show All

• Visual C# Object Oriented Programming

  Hi all. Im a C++ Programmer that just moved to C# and am having problems learning about classes and objects, i just cant seem to understand it. Im not sure whether i have the wrong book, so any advice and help on the best place i can learn OOP for C# from would be much appreciated. Thanks. cgraus wrote: Ah, OK, so you didn't do much C++ The real differerce is that C++ ALLOWS OOP, C# ENFORCES it. You can't have global methods in C#, you don't even have a global namespace. Everything is inside classes, wrapped in namespaces. http://www.google.com.au/search hl=en&q=OOP+C%23&meta = Any of these will do for starters. C# does not enforce good object oriented ...Show All

• .NET Development Communicating between 2 applications on localhost

  Well, lets say I have two applications, on my local computer, and I want to comunicate between them. Is remoting then the best thing to use, or is there another technologi I should use instead Another problem there is releated to this is, if I have an application, where I want to only be able to have one instance of the application to run at a time, then how do I for exsample ask it to open a new file, based on what file the user clicked on in explorer (For exsample a notepad, with tabs or something) Is remoting really the things that should be used to this, or is there another more recommended way for .NET applications If both applications are on same computer or on the same intranet then Romiting is r ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and N-Tier Web applications

  Hello, I would like to know how would WCF add value in a typical n-tier web application, where the presentation layer talks to the business logic layer in-proc for performance purposes. i.e. there's no physical seperation between all layers and hence the UI layer has access to the db server. Please note that web services are not always necessary as an additional layer as the main purpose of web services is to expose the application functionality to other consuming applications, and so decisions to make the contract coarse-grained is not valid since no network overhead is incurred. Please advice. Thank you, Well, NetNamedPipeBinding will not give the same performance as in-proc defintetly. From ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Stuttering in D3D application

  Hello, we're experiencing stuttering in our D3D game. With stuttering, I mean that the game loop will generally take 20-30 milliseconds to complete, running smoothly at ~30 fps. But then, like once per second or so, the game loop will take like 150 milliseonds or more to complete. The stuttering happens on many different computers so I don't think it's a driver/hardware/setup problem, but rather something that we're doing in our rendering that's causing the stuttering. Many other games run fine on these computers. I've profiled parts of the code.. and usually the huge delays come from D3D Present() method or the actual rendering. Does this indicate that there's a problem with the rendering command queue being filled up and stalled or somet ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need to 'buy' Report Controls

  Hi I've just started a new job. I used the report controls in my previous job, and my new employers have agreed to buy whatever software I require. Thing is, I'm not sure what I need! I had MSDN in the previous job, so I just installed all the Visual Studio and SQL stuff. I'm planning on using the report controls to design reports based on the existing SQL Server 2000, and some third party access databases. Which version of Visual Studio will get me the report controls Do I need some type of developer edition of SQL 2005 as well I tried asking the local MS vendor, but they weren't sure. Of course, I don't want to buy the wrong thing, and tell my new employers that I wasted their money! Any guidance appreciated Thanks ...Show All
