• Visual Studio Express Editions Accessing web text box

  I am making a program that automates the downloading of a file from a website of one of our providers. There is a login page which I can load up on Form1_Load() which has a user name and password box. Looking at the source code, these are called : document.forms[0].userName.value = ""; document.forms[0].password.value = ""; There is also a submit button : input type="submit" value="Go" How do I access these I want to push a button that enters the username and password and then hits the Go button and effectively submits the data. Any clues no worries my friend. Even though you may have got this stage, but this is for just a single framed (non frame) page to set a value to a textbox named " ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Stereo Vision

  Can you develop stereo vision games with XNA for the Xbox or Windows Sure can. without shutter-glasses/VR-helmet, you can try the good ol' blue-and-red glasses trick. Just position and point your camera properly every other frame. Maybe alpha blending the entire frame to get the proper color http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~gstamm/P644/stereo.html I had a pair of SimulEyes LCD shutter glasses from early GDC, it was very cool playing Descent in full 3D! I wish there are more games supporting the 3D glasses! http://www.summittnewmedia.com/paul/nonfiction/vrgame3.htm ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot pass params (data type system.guid) to subreport?

  Hello experts, I am trying to create a report including a subreport in VS.2003 Reporting services. The subreport itself runs properly, if I give it a parameter, but when I try to run the main (parent) report, I get the obvious message Subreport could not be shown. The output windows returns a message: The value expression used in textbox ‘AccountID’ returned a data type that is not valid. The AccountID field is a system.guid. I tried to "cast" it as a text, but I got another error message that the system.guid cannot be explicitly converted. Does anyone know how to get around this Thank you very much. Ravie. ...Show All

  I'm trying to configure an ASP.Net 2 web site to return a Word document that contains a VSTO customization that displays an action pane when the document opens.

I've tried it for all zones and for both IIS access to the site as well as using the built in VS web site but I'm still getting blocked and the document opens with this error: --------------------------- The current .NET security policy does not permit the customization to run ...

• Visual C# how to implement the same functions on different parts of a form?

  Hi, everybody... In some softwares, there will be MenuStrip and ToolBox. The functions on ToolBox can also be found on the MenuStip. No matter user choose to try which one, the same results will be shown. I want to ask the ways to realize this. If there are many functions related to each other, there will be a huge task to update the status of the MenuStrip and ToolBox in-phase. For example: On both MenuStrip and ToolBox, there is a CheckBox, named "cb1"<MenuStrip> and "cb2"<ToolBox>, if user check "cb1", "cb2" should also be checked and vice versa... So I have to check the status of the two CheckBoxes first, as: private void cb1_CheckedChanged(object send ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need value of a textbox

  I have the following piece of code. Dim offPlayer as Integer TextBox39.Text = "txtHome" & offPlayer & ".text" In my example, offPlayer is 8. I would like textBox39.Text = txtHome8.text. It currently puts in the string "txtHome8.text" and not the value. Please help. Thanks, Doug Looks like you're missing a "y" in offPlaer... Be sure that you actually have a TextBox control on the form that is named txtHome8 when offPlayer is 8. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strange DX9 vertex glitch

  As seen in these two screenshots, Glitch 1 Glitch 2 In reality, I don't know what's even happening to my vertices. This doesn't happen from the beginning of the program execution, it happens randomly during the execution about a few minutes into running it. Once it happens, it will happen more frequently and sooner during the program execution when I re-compile and run.I just don't have a name for this. It happens to a handful of random vertices. I would like to think my vertex buffer is being corrupted, but when I use the D3D Debug tools, the problem doesn't happen at all.For more information, the first picture contains geometry that is rendered directly to the screen. In the second, I'm rendering geometry first to a render target, and ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How I create a Proxy for WCF with TCP Transport and Binary encode in SDK July CTP?

  How serialize customized messages with WCF Binary encode and TCP transports How I create a Proxy for TCP-Binary in SDK July CTP Do you have any example Thanks, Daniel Andrade Not sure if I understand your question. But there are generally two basic approaches to create consumer-side objects to talk to services: -one would be to do contract assembly sharing and not relying on generating source code from interoperable metadata (like XSD, WSDL and/or MEX). This is, IMO, the preferred way to go in what I would like to call 'closed scenarios' (I also wrote a bit about this here). -second one is to use svcutil.exe and point it to either the WSDL or MEX metadata of your service. This second option ...Show All

This will be part of an application-level plug in for word that is being developed in C#.
