• Visual C# Filter an Array

  I have an array that is loaded with any files that the user has selected in a file browser dialogue. Right now the array gets loaded with everything in the folder, but I just want it to load image files that can be used as a wallpaper. Also I would like it to grab anything that is in any sub directories as well. OK that first part looks good, I will try the random part when i get there I wanna finish the adding the files part first. I guess the reason I added it to the array first was because I want to add Drag & Drop funtionality to it as well so the user can also drag images incase they aren't all in the same folder. I am at work right now so I can't try that out yet until I get home, but as soon as ...Show All

• SQL Server Maintenance Plan Question

  Hi There I am not sure which forum would eb the right place for a Maintenance plan question, so i am just posting it here. I have noticed that the maintenance plans i have created are not dynamic, by that i mean that for each step, integrity check, backup etc, i have always selected the option all user databases. However it seems that when new user databases are created these are not part of the maintenance plan. Is this correct, do i have to create a new maintenance plan or go back and reconfigure the exisiting one evertime a new user database is created Or am i mising something here P.S i gatehr this from looking at the TSQL from the Maintenance plan afetr creating new databases i see the TSQL still only references the databa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Could someone help me troubleshoot a bug in designer

  Having major problems with computed columns in vb express designer. in datatable designer if I try to add Sum(child.Total) to the invoicetotal expression property I get an error validating the formula for column "invoicetotal' If i try add Sum(child.total) to the invoicetotal expression property in the dataset designer I get error. unbound reference in aggregate expression 'system,data,aggregatenode' This is driving my crazy.

Had to reload my solution from a backup. That's when this problem started. Even tried downloading ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio C++ IDE Walkthrough

  I am brand new and on the third page of the MSDN Walkthrough: Using the Virtual Studio IDE it says:   Running a program in Debug mode allows you to use breakpoints to pause the program to examine the state of variables and objects. In this step you observe the value of a variable as the program runs and deduce why the value is not what you might expect. To run a program in Debug mode Click on the testgames.cpp tab in the editing area if that file is not visible. Set the current line in the editor by clicking on the following line: Copy Code Cardgame* solitaire = new Cardgame(1);   No Such line exists in testgames.cpp. Am I supposed to add it I searched the previous info in ...Show All

• SQL Server Excel 2007 (beta 2) connect problem

  Has anyone seen this - I've been testing Excel 2007 pivot tables and charts on small AS databases (< 10M). I try connecting to a larger AS database (22M) and I get a popup window saying: Data could not be retrieved from the database. Check the database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again. The database is available and running. When I run through the Data Connection Wizard in the Data tab, the wizard can see the database and cubes I'm trying to connect to, so they are available. It's just on the pivot table/chart creation it won't connect. It responds back real quick, like it's not attempting to even do anything. Anyone ...Show All

• Visual Basic Monospace Fonts

  Hi all - my question is: do monospace fonts actually work in .NET 2.0. So far I've tried using Graphics.DrawString() and also TextRenderer.Draw() but no matter what monotype (fixed-width) font I use, it never renders in monotype! I don't know if it does automatic kerning or something, but this is really important to me to actually render a .NET 2.0 monotype font. It seems likely that .NET does not have support for this, but I'm just asking anyway. Thanks for any replies... Btw, I'll be fine with a yes/no answer or a link to somewhere that explains it, I'd just really like to know the solution please. Thanks ...Show All

  Is there a way to retreive the wireless signal strength Thanks, my bad, indeed it should be theSignalStrength - not string so replace all theSignalString to theSignalStrength (including the variable declaration) as for the last error, do this: theSignalStrength = theSignalStrength + Convert.ToDouble(currentObject["Ndis80211ReceivedSignalStrength"]); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions bytes to ints

  I have a computer than will be sending out an array of 16 bit integers via UDP broadcast, but the UDPClient appears to only accept a byte array. A conversion is in order. I found another thread on this: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=156941&SiteID=1 where the writer made a class with a bunch of definitions. For a guy without a lot of class (pun intended, seriously), I found that code difficult to read so I wrote the following snippet. I was going to ask if there is an easy way to convert from bytes to integers. (If we can only receive bytes, and certainly there are times when integers need to be sent, there should be a standard function to do this.) I wrote some code to make my conversion.

• Visual Studio Team System Now that we've made a total mess of things... How to put it back again

  It all started when we added three new assemblies and files to the solution. Not noticing the "Add Solution to Source Control" in the massive solution explorer context menu, we added the assemblies manually using Source Control Explorer Add Files / Add Folder. To our surprise it was as if these files were not in source control at all! You could edit them all day without checking them out. You had to check them out using source control explorer or nothing, and they did not show locked in solution explorer. They do show up in the check in window. So we tried to create an entirely new project by adding the existing solution to source control. This was an even worse idea. What we got was the new assemblies at one level in th ...Show All
