• .NET Development adding Window Media Player into IE Toolbar

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microsoft's future policy for redistributing Xbox 360 games?

  Before I commit serious time and effort to the XNA framework, I'm wondering if anyone knows Microsoft plans for allowing us to redistribute our games for Xbox360. I'm an academic. Let's say I want to make some educational/simulation games that my students can use on the Xbox 360. Will I be able to provide them with a CD or download link in XBox live As far as I can tell so far, the only games I can write are for myself. It would be nice to be able to publish the game to see a limited number of User IDs that are not in the creators club (say 10 or so) as a start to testing wider use. I was thinking of this if I were to try and get my nephews into computer programming it would be nice to publish some gam ...Show All

  I am having an string "3<2", I would like to use it in a if statement as if(3<2). How to convert this string into an boolean expression. Can we convert a string like "a<b" into a boolean expression. You could use CodeDom - which is used to dynamically build up code (using code) to execute... have a look at the System.CodeDom namespace, in particular the CodeExpressionStatement class. If you have a look through the documentation (and on the internet for examples) you should be able to put something together. Hope that helps. Simon ...Show All

• .NET Development Dinamically adding columns

  I'm having trouble finding a suitable example for my problem. I have a table (MS Acces Database) which I would like to load whatever structure (fields, no data) I have on it into memory. Once the structure is in memory, I want to check which fields are available and if I need to add new fields, I would like to add them to the table. Finally, I want to save these changes (eg. when I open the Access file, the table's structure has been updated with these new fields). Is this way too complicated, or is it doable I myself (beginner/intermediate-level programmer) cannot figure out how to save changes to the table's structure. I could use some help from the DB gurus.

• Visual C# Form Designer - multiple controls inside one single source file

  Is it possible to use the form designer with controls that exist in the same source file Or is the <ControlName>.cs + <ControlName>.Designer.cs mechanism strictly neccessary No, <ControlName>.cs + <ControlName>.Designer.cs is not necessary but just a good habbit to seperate codes accrding to behavior, this is new feature in C# 2.0 and is called partial types. using this you have a single class on multiple files. Its just the idea of isolation of presentation and behaviors. You can put all the code into a single file or even you can have 10 controls in a single file. Best Regards, ...Show All
