• Visual Basic VisualBasic.Collection vs VBA.Collection

  Hi. I have ported a good chunk of my project from VB6 to VB2005. There is a VB6 COM DLL that I will not be porting over any time soon. I have a custom list class with an Add method that accepts a Collection (of strings). The list class can accept data from the COM DLL as well as Collections created within the project. Example; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = New Collection Col.Add("String1") Col.Add("String2") Call MyList.Add(Col) As well; Dim Col as Collection Set Col = DBEngine.GetListFromDatabase '//Where DBEngine is the COM DLL Call MyList.Add(Col) The problem though, is that now, under VB2k5, COM DLL's return a VBA.Collection Type, and the normal collection type is VisualBa ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is there an easy way to move from control to control

  Hi I am woundering if there is a way to move from control to control by using the Enter button instead of the TAB button. In VBA you can use both the Enter- and the TAB button without any specific code, like SendKeys. Fia   Hi Take a look at the selectnextcontrol method on the control base class ... it may help achieve what you are looking for (if not, manually code your logic to find the next control and call its select method) The enter key may be a challenge to preprocess as it is used as an input key for some controls and therefore consumed prior to being previewed by a form. You may find that you would be better creating your own controls (by inheriting from existing controls) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert UIElement to Image or BitmapImage

  Hi ! I'm currently working on a huge project for a client. The application is fully based on WPF and we use translate, scale and rotation transformation all the time on very complexe interactive WPF UserControls. Unfortunatly, our tranformation animations run really slow and I guess this is due to the number of controls and bitmap effects used on our user controls we"re tryin to animate. I tried to replace the user controls with png images, and it's a whole different world. The application runs really fast (about 15 times faster). So I was wondering if they are any Class or piece of code I could use to temporary switch our user controls to Images when I want to anymate (transform) them, and then switch them back to user control when t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tiger Model Textures don't look right...

  I've been having some problems with textures and the content pipeline. I've tried exporting some textured objects and the textures seem to repeat a small section over the whole model. As a sanity check, I decided to load the Tiger.X model from the DirectX SDK, and it seems to exhibit the same problem. What exactly is going on here Sorry for breaking the code snippet guidelines here... Okay here is what "SetMatrices" does. public void SetMatrices() { OurWorldMatrix = Matrix .CreateRotationZ(Rotation.Z + RotationAdjust.Z) * Matrix .CreateRotationY(Rotation.Y + RotationAdjust.Y) * Matrix .CreateRotationX(Rotation.X + RotationAdjust.X) * Matrix .CreateScale(Scale) * Matr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Project template for simple DLL?

  I have just installed VC++ Express. What I want to code is a vanilla DLL (i.e. not MFC). It would seem that in order to do this, I need to have a project template that does this kind of program. Where can I get such a template [What does a 'project template' actually consist of ] I used Visual C++ 6 up to now, which made it very easy to do this; unfortunately the W32 features I want to access (Bluetooth etc) are not present in VC++ 6. MS site says VC++6 is not compatible with the latest SDK...gotcha. I am reluctant to spend a lot of money on the pro version of Visual Studio just to do a very simple thing.

• SQL Server Cannot use credentials for proxy account

  Hi, because my package does not run with SQL-Server-Agent, but without problems if started by "hand", I created a new credential which contains the information needed for the package. I did this as described on: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190703.aspx . After that i tried to create an proxy account, but when I chose the created credential, Management Studio says "Der Proxy "[name_of_credential] ist kein gultiger Windows-Benutzer(Microsoft SQL Server, Fehler: 14529)". This means something like: "This Proxy is not a valid windows-user. Error: 14529". Any hints how to use a credential that is not a windows-user Regards, Jan Wagner GethWho wr ...Show All
