• Visual C# Move to a next window after pressing a button

  Hi, Basically, the title says it all. How can i move to a next window after pressing a button. I'm trying to make a calculator. Thanks in advance! well, if I undrestand correctly, you wish to open another window in your application correct (another form) if so, simply create an instance of it and show it to the user. Example: Form2 theSecondForm = new Form2(); theSecondForm.Show(); //or: theSecondForm.ShowDialog(); the showdialog() puts the form in question into the model dialog meaning that the previous forms opened are not accessible until this form is closed and only then can you access the other forms as well as continuing execution of code. Is this what you are after ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to get the complete scrollable height and width of a control

  Hi, I am hosting a browser control(framework 2.0) in a form of fixed size. Control is docked as fill in the win form. The control navigates to some url and displays the web page. Now if the web page size exceeds the win form size scrollbars appears. I want to calculate the complete height and width of control(complete scrollable height and width). Let me know how i can do it. Note that i can do it using the HTMLDocument's scrollheight and scrollwidth properties but the problem is it returns correct values only when the height and width are specified. Correct values are not guaranteed through it. Thanks, Yash Try using the ClientSize property. According to the docs, it does "not include the non-client ele ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Unsupported media state while drive becoming ready

  I have consistently seen  IDiscFormat2Data::get_CurrentMediaStatus return a state of IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA after I insert a blank recordable disc, after the drive becomes ready.  There seems to be a transient state that exists immediately after the drive becomes ready.  Prior to this state, while the drive is becoming ready, the get_CurrentMediaStatus method correctly returns an HRESULT of E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_BECOMING_READY; then, immediately after becoming ready, it returns S_OK but reports a media state of unsupported.  If you call it subsequently, it will return S_OK and correctly report the state as IMAPI_FORMAT2_DATA_MEDIA_STATE_BLANK. It appears that this proble ...Show All

• .NET Development using statement on SqlDataReader

  Hi all, if I am to use the 'using' statement on a SqlDataReader where the resultset then gets passed outside of the method in which it was executed, will the 'using' statement still clean up the resources (close, dispose etc) although the SqlDataReader ResultSet gets passed out of the method What I currently have is below, but am not sure whether making use of the 'using' statement on the SqlDataReader will actually clean up its used resources. public static SqlCeDataReader ExecuteQueryGetDatReader(SqlCeConnection objSqlCeConnection, string strQuery) { SqlCeDataReader objSqlCeDataReader; try { using (SqlCeCommand objSqlCeCommand = new SqlCeCommand(strQuery, objSqlCeConnection)) { objSqlCeCommand.CommandType = Comma ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Calculated Member Problem

  Hi, I am trying to create a calculated measure, but since I am new to MDX, I have no idea how to go about it. I have two measure groups. One contains the number of customers recruited and is associated with one dimension (Start Week number). The other measure group contains the amount of of sales (￡) and has two dimensions (Start Week number + Actual week number). What I want to do is create a calculated measure of sales amount per customer recruited. The number of recruited customers will obviously be constant for any given start week, and the sales amount will be different for each actual week. Could anybody advise on a way to do this. Many thanks, Dave Here is a simple example of a ca ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Render target + multisample problem

  My problem is: I just want to draw some objects to a render target, and than save it to texture -> post process it. It works, if I turn off multisample. But if it's turned on, it behave like DepthBuffer would be turned off (the last drawed object will be the nearest, even if it's far away), but it's not. Again, if I only turn off the multisample, it works fine, if I turn it on, it's get crazy. I create the render target this way: m_rtarget = new RenderTarget2D ( m_rtarget .GraphicsDevice, m_rtarget .PreferredBackBufferWidth, m_rtarget .PreferredBackBufferHeight, 1, m_rtarget .PreferredBackBufferFormat ); And I don't change the device's settings after it, so it sould match. But I was curious an ...Show All
