• Windows Forms Deploying to Program Files

  Hi, I am using C# 2005 Express edition and I cant select a directory I want my application to install into. I would like to deploy into program files. The Publish wizard works fine, and I can distribute my applicaiton, but I dont know where it installs into. I cant see an exe file anywhere on the computer I deployed on, yet my app works.. Is there more deployment options in the full version of C# 2005 that i need Windows Installer is part of the OS and is nothing to do with .NET or C# or ClickOnce. There are a bunch of tools you can use to build MSI files, Visual Studio non-express being one of them. ...Show All

• SQL Server Check if a windows/nt user account exists

  I have some script which creates/grant priveleges to windows/nt users to DB but i frequently get the message below: Windows NT user or group '<user or group>' not found. Check the name again. I understand that this is because the said user/group is indeed not present in the environment I'm running the script (ie. testing and production environment). But is it possible to have some sort of checking whether the user/group exists in the environment so that I could determine whether or not to call some lines of code Not sure if this is possible so i had to ask. c",) SELECT * FROM sysusers will show the users from the current database. There are columns like isntname ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. text mixed with 3d

  thought id ask another question while im at it. i want to display text on the hud of my 3d engine. i did some searching and came across some of the text components out there and chose the nuclex.fonts componenet (very good imo). this works fine on its own or with other 2d objects (eg. sprites) but if i render any 3d objects, all the 3d objects have z buffer issues. i noticed this problem when i first introduced sprites into my engine and it was fixed via the spritebatch.begin methods savestatemode parameter. however, this functionality doesnt exist with the nuclex.fonts package, so my 3d objects are all screwed again. is there another option to prevent this, or can someone tell me how to manually save my renderstate and restore it after re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to customize a field to be visible only as disabled textbox

  I have a problem with the customizing of a workitem which I designed new. When I add a new one programmatically, an id will be generated. This id appears in the workitem in a normal textbox (with white background). I want to change this id only programmatically, so it should be displayed in a box in the type of for example "system.title" (with grey backround and not editable). How could I realize this If you mean that you want to display the system.id field in your work item as a read-only field, I think it will do this by default, since this is a special core field, whose value is assigned by the server and cannot be changed. To display it you need to add it to the <FORM> layout sect ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to: design-time or run-time (again)

  Hi, I need a control to have a different visual appearance during design-time as opposed to run-time. Nothing fancy. As proposed so often before I use the " this .DesignMode" property. However: 1) Create a CustomControl and in the OnPaint() do something like: if ( this .DesignMode) pe.Graphics.FillRectangle( Brushes .Red, new Rectangle (10, 10, 10, 10)); 2) Create a UserControl and in the designer drop the CustomControl onto it. You will indeed see the red rectangle as intended. 3) Drop the UserControl on your main form. The red rectangle will not show. Apparently the DesignMode property is limited to Controls actually being editable. Understandable but I need design time appearance everywhere while w ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNADominos - Initial release

  Just thought I'd post my first release of XNADominos. Its a port of a DX app I wrote a while back mainly as a learning experience. Next release will include source and an editor. Anyway, binaries and screenshots can be found here: http://andyq.no-ip.com/blog/ cat=4 Andy I am willing to share it on a need to have / want to have basis right now because it is still in its VERY early stages. The code is uncommented, very "dirty" and the engine as a whole still needs to get more functionality before I can even consider it to be releasable. I am willing to let people have it on a more one to one basis so I can get feedback from those I give it to. ...Show All
