• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 opening to Run Once page with error on it.

  I downloaded updates last week. I have been using IE7 for a while with no problem. I dwnloaded the updates. Now when I open my browser the page tries to go to http://runonce.msn.com/runonce2.aspx .

• Visual Studio Express Editions TableAdapter.Update only works when I move from record to record

  Hello everyone, I am still new to VB.NET and I am having a little trouble using TableAdapters. Now, I figured out the "Copy Always" thing, which seems to be a problem for beginners everywhere (are you listening MS ). My TableAdapter.Update() method works, but only if I move from the current record. I am using data bound controls. If I just make a change in a data field press Update button, nothing happens. For it to work, I have to make the change, move from the current record, and THEN press Update. Does anyone have any idea why this happens Thanks. master20 Hi, if you're binding your data through a BindingSource control, try calling its EndEdit() method just before calling table ...Show All

• SQL Server insert null

  Hi, I have an insert query that has a select query to select the records to be inserted (See below). How do you make sure a null is entered into the field of a nullable field if there is no data to select for that field insert into table1 Name, Lastname) select name, lastname from externalTable Please note that if lastname in externalTable is empty, then I would like Lastname in Table1 to be inserted as null. Currently Table1.Lastname just inserts an empty value and NOT a null. Hope you know what I mean. Thanks Try this declare @testtab table ( firstName varchar ( 10 ), lastname varchar ( 10 )) insert into @testtab select '' , 'xx' insert into @testtab select ' ' , ...Show All

• Visual C# Translucent Image

  I would like to know how to determine the color of a translucent image when it is on top of another image. To better explain it, for example, let say I have 2 images A and B and B is a translucent image and is on top of A. I would like to know the RGB values of the overlapping area of image B. I know I can use GDI+ to create translucent images and it will do the rest for me. But that's not what I want, I would like to know the way to determine the color. Thanks in advance. You need to Call GetPixel(int x, int y) method on a Bitmap to get the color at a specific X and Y coordinates, See Here: Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("hello.jpg"); Color pixelColor = myBitmap.GetPixel(2, 2); pixel ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Report Item example not rendering right?

  I'm trying to work with the custom report item example (PolygonsCRI.dll) from the latest SQL Server 2005 downloads. I've followed all of the instructions on how to deploy the report. The report is now available on my Report Server, and I can load the Polygons.sln report and view it in the designer. However, whenever I preview the report in the designer or view the report on the server, the polygon report items just show up as big blank spots - there's no image there and no indication of an error. The chart on the report renders just fine, though. Does anybody have any ideas on what could be causing this Thanks, Glenn Burnsider There is a typo in the PolygonsCRI.vb and .cs file.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shader data flow questions

  Two questions: 1. Is there any decent way to get a small chunk of data (4-8 bytes) from a vertex shader back to the CPU I would only do this in direct response to a mouse click, so it need not be fast, just possible. 2. The MSDN reference material here would suggest that a variable declared static could carry information from one shader invocation to the next, so that one could, for example, calculate a running min, max, or average of some property over all vertices. But in practice it seems that my static variable is zeroed afresh for every vertex. Below are the bones of my test case. The CPU program is providing each vertex with the "extra" variable, of which extra.x is a unique id for each vertex, sta ...Show All
