• Visual C# How do I stop running a function?

  Hello, I need to know how I can stop running a function in the middle of running it. I cannot give any real coding examples but, I can get a structural example and show what I mean. private void TestFunc(string a, string b) { while(a != b) { try { // Code that should run like normal. } catch(Exception ex) { // If the code gets here I should stop the entire function right away! (TestFunc) } } } If the code gets to the catch I have to stop executing the function right away and run another function (which is handled elsewhere). This is a very newbie question but, I've not had to do this yet. Thanks for any help. Quilnux Quilnux wrote: ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Issues rendering a triangle

  I understand this is beta and the docs aren't complete, but the docs are very limited. I'm attempting to render a triangle to the screen and am failing. I was hoping for basic code as was provided with MDX. Currently I get a cornflower blue screen but nothing is rendered. I've attempted taking the vertex declaration out of a using clause, and that did nothing. Any ideas I figure I must be missing some setting somewhere. Here's my draw function: protected override void Draw() { // Make sure we have a valid device if (!graphics.EnsureDevice()) return; VertexPositionColor[] triangle = new VertexPositionColor[3]; triangle[0] = new VertexPositionColor(new Vector3(-1.0f, 0.0f, 5.0 ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Compatibility settings not working after uninstall / reinstall

  Our application launches other executables that require elevated permissions to run. These other executables were sometimes failing to launch the first time the application was run and succeeding after that, and sometimes failing to launch no matter how many times we tried. We implemented a workaround of setting the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers\[app path] to ELEVATECREATEPROCESS. This worked great - our programs would now launch correctly and ask for elevated permissions as expected. However, if we uninstall the application and then reinstall it, the workaround no longer works. We are removing the registry key that we created when uninstalling and creating it again when installing. If ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting sponsor's Renewal() method just stops being called at some point of time. Reason?!

  Overall description of the problem. I have a strange problem with .NET remoting. I use .NET remoting to support plugins in one single application which are independent of one another. This architecture was insprired by the following article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dncscol/html/csharp05162002.asp So I use what I would call "in-memory remoting", I mean I have one process (one exe at runtime) but several AppDomains in it. One of them is my client app domain (I also call it my main AppDomain). Let's denote it by AppDomain M. This is where my UI components (windows forms) live for example. On the other side I have several client AppDomains - A1, A2, A3. In those domains I insta ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Returning an array of custom data types, array always empty

  Ok, I'm really about to lose it with this problem. It's such a simple concept but some how I can't get it to work. I have a service that returns a List(of somecustomobject) and I can see that the list does have items in the service but when it actually returns to the client, there are 0 elements! I created a simple service/client to see if I could figure out the problem. It has to be something simple! Here's my test service code... <ServiceContract()> Public Interface IService1 <OperationContract()> Function MyOperation6() As List(Of ComplexString) End Interface Public Class Service1 Implements IService1 Public Function myoperation6() As List(Of ComplexString) Implements IService1.MyOperation6 Dim x As New List(Of ComplexS ...Show All

• SQL Server Rows in Pages

  Hi everyone, I have a simple question about Rows in Pages for you. In my opinion, rows are the storage of the data in databases. I would like to ask that there are any important properties of Rows which I am not aware. Thanks Hmm, joeydj , I have some doubts about your MS tutorial. First y, I did not know that there is a specific type for texts and images. I supposed that texts and images are required more than one pages generally since their size generally involves this.

• SQL Server Ordering columns in data flow (simple?)

  Hello, I am new to SSIS. I am trying to write a simple package to export data from some SQL 2005 tables and into a flat file. In my data flow, I am using the OLE-DB data source and then the flat file destination. This all works fine except that I cant get the package to write the columns out in the order I want. Even when I drive the OLE-DB source by a query, they columns are getting written to the flat file in a different order than I want. How is SSIS determining what order to write the columns in and, more importantly, how can I change it to do it in the order I want Please help if you can. As mentioned I am new to SSIS so please give clear+simple answers. Thanks Mgale1 Hi Phil, You are correct - ...Show All

• SQL Server who can tell me the function of CDbl

  lately, i have always see other workmates's code about MDX, i find there is a sentence below: IIF(IsEmpty([Measures].[C11696]/[Measures].[C11695]), null,( IIF([Measures].[C11695] = 0,0,CDbl( [Measures].[C11696]/[Measures].[C11695])))) ' and i try to find the details of CDbl on online help, but i can't get.

• .NET Development reflection - CustomAttributeBuilder

  Hi, I am looking for a way to create a CustomAttributeBuilder of the same type and with the same values as a CustomAttribute that has been accessed via reflection (i.e. someMember.GetCustomAttributes()). I can't find a way of getting all the info i need to do this. For example, if i use the constructor: CustomAttributeBuilder (ConstructorInfo, Object[], PropertyInfo[], Object[]) I can populate the arrays for the last two arguments as follows: Type attributeType = customAttribute.GetType(); List<PropertyInfo> newProperties = new List<PropertyInfo>(); List<object> newPropertyValues = new List<object>(); foreach (PropertyInfo p in attributeType.GetProperties()) { if (p.CanWrite) { newProperties.Add(p); newPr ...Show All

• Visual Studio New to ReportView - How to Feed DataTable into Report

  I am trying to use the ReportViewer in VS 2005. It seems from research that I can use a DataTable to populate the report, but I have not yet been able to get it to work. This is a windows forms app. The report's name is CMSInvoice.rdlc The form's name is TestReport.cs The ReportViewer in TestReport.cs is named "ReportViewer1" In the form TestReport.cs ReportViewer Tasks I've specified the reports name as the above, CMSInvoice.rdlc, although I'd like to move this declaration into the code section. In the form TestReport.cs there are no DataAdapters and such created by wizards. It is just a form with a report viewer with the report name specified.
