• .NET Development Time zone conversion problems

  Hi, I'm trying to parse a date time string that is always in ET time zone. The resulting time should be converted to local time. I could do that by backadjusting the ET time and converting to UTC. However, the issue is that I don't know if ET is currently in DST or not, so that I don't know how many hours I have to backadjust. Is there a framework built in way to get the UTC offset for any time zone Thanks, Tom Note that Windows generates file time stamps in UTC. It depends on what happened to those when the file got transferred to your PC. If you used FTP you're probably toast. If you know for a fact that the file was stamped in the Eastern time zone, you'll always have a constant number of hours diffe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to run Schema compare and Data compare from the command-line?

  Hi, Question is in the subject line. The background to this is that we have our database builds occurring in our build environment as part of TFS Continuous Integration builds and we would also like to automate the steps to produce the change scripts that Schema Compare and Data Compare would give us. Thanks Jamie Hi Jamie In V1 we currently do not offer this level of support in the schema compare or data compare tools, but it is an interesting feature for a future release. If you want to track the status of feature request/suggesion please do log a bug in connect Thank you Mairead PM, TS Data ...Show All

• Visual Studio Local Report has Report Server Error???

  I have created a local RDLC report and on my development machine (WinXP) all is well. But once I move the application and report file to another machine (Win2000Server) the report throws an error : Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalProcessingException An error occured during local report processing --> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException: The report server has encountered a congifuration error.

• .NET Development Reflection - Strong Name

  Hello, Pls any1 can help to answer my question. Why when ni use Reflection in my Exe to get the path like: Me .m_RunningPath = Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location 'including filename and i try to use the Strong Name to verify the Dll. I found that if i'm not using "Reflection" to get the path and direct call the dll, the same way of Strong name will work fine.However if i use reflection,even version wrong it also verify as approved.

Now i want to do 1 checking when run Exe at branches that if found 1 of the dll calling in Exe was not developed by us, then the system will block who Exe ...Show All

• Visual C# how to return null from a constructor

  say, i a m trying to do something like: class something something(streamreader){ if (wrong format or end of file) caller receives null as result else build object from what has been read in file } i tried 'return null', but it says it can not do that since a constructor is 'void', so i can not place a return sentence. i'm not sure something like this.dispose would retunr a null, since the 'dispose' may be asynchronous (or something) i have the next alternative class something blah blah somehting(string) (build object from string, check if string==null or wrong format before calling) static bool checkformat(string) check to see if string is adecuate to build somet ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need Info On The Basics

  OK, Ive read a large part of this forum and HAVE recieved alot of answers. With that said, over the past few days Ive been burshing up on my old C++ skills and plan to start learning C# here in the next week. My plan is to do this as a Hobby (Mainly cause Im an electrician with a family) so ive set some really long goals. Im not expecting to pump out a 3d game in a year. Ive been very interested in writing code for years now and have been a lover of Game design ever since Missle Command came out in the Arcade (Just Dated Myself). Since Ive taken this up, a Tattoo Artist buddy of mine has become interested inthe graphic end of the whole thing. So in short, what would be a great 3D design software for a begineer (with years of drawing expert ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. dem Bones

  Can someone tell me what Model.Bones are or point me at some documentation Specifically, I'm doing the "How to: Render a Model" tutorial on a model of a cube that I made. There are some lines in the code: Matrix[] transforms = new Matrix[m.Bones.Count]; m.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo(transforms); ... effect.World = MyWorldRotation * mesh.ParentBone.Transform * Matrix.CreateTranslation(Position); I've commented out the Bone-related code and my model still renders fine, so I was wondering what it's for. Thanks. The bones represent the "scaffolding" of the model and is used for animation. The sample code doesn't use any of the bone info that it copies to the t ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to charting in the VB 2005?

  My Project in VB 6.0 is using the Chart Viewer (.COM Component) to do the charting, but after i migrate to the VB 2005, the Chart viewer is not compatible anymore. So in the VB2005, it is posibble to do the charting based on the List view Table create on the program running Because my program is generate the chart on the spot when user select the differ data. Thanks. VS200x doesn't have a chart control, rather a gaping hole I'd say. You can use one of the many commericial charting controls. Or you can still use the old VB6 MSChart control. Right click the toolbar, Choose Items, COM components tab, select "Microsoft Chart Control 6.0". Stay away from the EditCopy() method, it causes an AccessViolation exception. ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB .Net Express ? (not VB 2005)

  Is there or was there an express version of VB .Net (2003) available for download. My work PC is stuck at XP SP1 and VB 2005 requires SP2. I'm "stuck" because it's a work PC and the MIS department has not OK'd upgrades to SP2. I was able to install .Net framework 2.0. I'm not really interested in building applications so much as how the forms editor works. An application that I do use at work has changed over to a (very) poorly documented "VB .Net similar" forms editor. Not being familiar with VB and it's editor I wanted to install VB in order to familiarize myself with it as well as VB's accompanying documentation. I've since found a command line option for the setup command that appar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Package "Visual Studio Common IDE Package" failed to load

  I just installed the VS 2005 Beta 2, including the MSDN documentation.  I can look at topics via the Index and Contents just fine; however, when I tried to click on the Search icon on the toolbar, I get a message that reads...
