• Visual Studio Express Editions Help with "Concentration" Game

  I am a student studying VB for the first time and I've run into a snag programming as assignment. It's a matching game consisting of 8 pairs of matching words randomly assigned to 16 labels. When a label is clicked, the word currently assigned to it will display. If two labels are clicked and the words match, the labels are disabled and change their color. This is done until all 8 pairs of words are found, after which a message box is displayed indicating the game is over. I am confused as to how I can randomize the list of words and assign them to the labels, as well as how to check for matching. Any help would be appreciated. So here's the array I've got with the words to be used: Dim sItems(15) As ...Show All

• Visual C# Redim in C#

  Hello everyone, is there a way to simulate VBs redim function in C# Thanks Redim is used to resize some array, so while working in .Net or specifically C# i would recomend you using Collections under System.Collecitons.Generics namespace. like List<T> class Dictionary<T,S> class etc example: List<int> list = new List<int>(); // create a colleciton to store int.... list.Add(1); // Add some number list.Add(2); // Add another Number. This will automatically be resized whenever you add something to it and you don't need Redim anymore here. I hope this will help. Best Regards, Rizwan aka RizwanSharp ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development session cookies in IE7 not working

  I have a website I've developed and I'm having problems with IE7 recognizing the session cookies. It worked in the earlier version of IE, it works in all other browsers. I've changed the setting in IE7 to "Accept All Session Cookies" and it still won't work. Is there something I need to do differently with my coding to accomodate the new IE7 session cookie standards Here is my code to set the session cookies: if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) { if($_POST['pUsername']=="$op_email" && $_POST['pPassword']=="$op_password") { $query="SELECT other_parent_first_name, parent_id, op_email, op_user_level FROM parent_units WHERE op_email='$op_email' AND op_password='$op_password'"; ...Show All

• Visual Basic IDE Broken -> Doesn't display error

  At some point something I installed (I suspect Resharper) broke the IDE. When I am running my code in the debugger if an error occurs the code stops, highlights the problem line but no text pops up to tell me what the error is. Without having to do a full reinstall does anyone know what may have been disabled or changed to cause this Thanks, Shane The problem is gone. I think this problem may actually be related to the fact I switched from project references to file references in a solution. I'm reinstalling ReSharper and I'll see if the problem comes back. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Check-in/Shelve programmatically with dialog?

  Hi, does anyone know if there is a possibility to open the usual Team System Check In dialog programmatically I would like to have a special list of files showing in the dialog.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XBox 360 shader compatibility?

  As the XNA framework will be PC <-> XBox 360 I'd like to know what shaders are supported by the XBox 360. Afaik the ATI Xenos GPU of the XBox 360 supports every shader even up to the coming shader model 4.0 (160 operations per cycle), is this correct Why do you need any information how sm3.0 works on the xbox 360 Just use SM 3.0, it will be the same on windows (if the windows graphic card does support SM 3.0) and on the XBox 360. For backward compatibility on windows it would be best to also support SM 2.0 and maybe even SM 1.1 to work on more systems. Btw: The ATI Xenon GPU on the XBox isn't SM 4.0, it is more like an extended SM 3.0. ...Show All

• SQL Server Table visibility problem

  Hi,I have a report with various tables, some of them can be empty. When empty, and hidden property set to false only one line apears blank in my report, but if i set the hidden property to true it results in an empty space with the same height as the table i’m trying to hide. My goal is to have no blank spaces at all when a table is empty. Anyone can help thanks. I need to know directly from the table, because i have multiple tables with the same dataset, the diference between them is their filters. Is there any way to do this Thanks... ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using ActiveX in C#

  Hi, I have created an ActiveX Control some years back, which i wanted to use in my current C# program.

• SQL Server Oracle parameters

  I am creating a report using a query where the data source is an Oracle 8i database. I'm selecting data that is between 2 dates: "Select * from table where mydate is between :startdate and :stopdate". To get all of the data I need to use :stopdate + 1 to add a day for oracle SSRS uses dateadd to get the date that oracle requires. SSRS does not like the (+1) and Oracle does not recognize the dateadd function. How do I solve this problem P.S. This is my first SSRS report. Robert, Thanks for your response. Options 1 & 2 are feasible since we can only 'read' from the Oracle database. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Storing & Displaying Images

  This questions kind of spans multiple areas, so I hope I'm not overstepping the forum bounds by asking it here! I'm working on a WPF app that displays images in a WrapPanel.  Currently the images are stored on a web server and accessed through their URL paths. I'd like to store some information about each image in a SQL Server database.  I'm considering storing the binary images and thumbnails in the database as well.  Then I would use a web service to pull the images from the database and return the binary data to the WPF app. My primary question is whether this scenario is flawed or just a bad idea   It is very simple to refer to an image through its URL.  Am I creating a situation that will be hard to main ...Show All
