• Visual Basic Random Characters from Label???

  I cant seem to figuire out how to pull a random character from a label that is varied in length and in chars. based on what the user does. I tried to get the number of characters, then create an array based on that number of characters, assign each character of the label to that array, then randomly pick from that array and display it in a different label.

• Smart Device Development Page up/down with rocker

  I am wanting to use the buttons/arrow at the bottom of the device to scroll the page up and page down. what is the best way to do this. or is this possible. after calling microsoft and talking to tech support. I have learned that the autoscrollposition will not work for this and keep the scrollbar on the side.

• SQL Server User initiated backups

  During the month end close the accontants want to have their SQL2000 databases backed up before they run certain processes. We (IT) run the backups using the SQL management console when they call. Is there a way we can allow the users to start a backup without giving them access to the SQL management console It depends on how much effort you want to put into this. You could buld a little application that uses SMO to do a backup, or invoke a backup via a script (see below re: rights). You could add one (or more) of the Accountant Users the db_backupoperator role, and show them how to use the UI to do the backup, or give them a script to run. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Separator in a context menu

  Hi all, How do I add and locate a separator in a context menu (of the mouse right button ) E.g. I wish to separate (between two lines) my own menu items (in the context menu) from all the others. Best regards. I had a little look into this issue yesterday, but couldn't find an exact c++ solution. If you do a search on google for adding a context button into Visual studio you shoud find sufficient information to allow you to proceed. As both VS and office use the same extensibility interface, the code should work for both. Within 5 minutes I found a c# and vb solution for adding separators ;p ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewComboBoxColumn selection

  Hi, I am developing a C# application in VS2005 and I've added a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn to a DataGridView in a form and set its DataSource, DisplayMembers and ValueMembers properties.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. HLSL Grammar ... Tokens?

  Hi, I am currently working on a HLSL parser, and while the HLSL grammar can be found in the online reference I've got a few questions about the tokens to be used. Especially, I couldn't figure out how T_TYPE_ID and T_NON_TYPE_ID should be defined.. I've got a few ideas that seem to work but would rather use the 'official' definition and not have mine break at some random point in the future. Also, the assignment operator tokens aren't quite clear. The grammar lists quite a few possible assignment operators (<<=, >>=, *=, /=, +=, -=, %=, &=, |=, ^=) but i'm not quite clear how I should map these to the five tokens used in AssignmentExpr (T_OP_ME, T_OP_DE, T_OP_RE, T_OP_AE and T_OP_SE). Right now it doesn't really matter, but ...Show All
