• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Unified way to add and remove child element

  Hello, I would like to ask couple of questions: 1) Is there a unified way to add element as a child to a parent Currently I am achieving it like this, but not sure it this is a right way to do it: IAddChild parent = LogicalTreeHelper.GetParent(child) as IAddChild; if (parent != null) parent.AddChild(child); 2) Is there a unified way to remove element from its parent children collection My current method is ugly enough to look for a better one :) DependencyObject parent = LogicalTreeHelper.GetParent(child); if (parent is ContentControl) ((ContentControl)parent).Content = null; if (parent is ItemsControl) ((ItemsControl)parent).Items.Remove(child); if (parent is Panel) ((Panel)parent).Child ...Show All

• SQL Server "Hang" when deploying SSAS solution?

  I've noticed that BI Studio seems to 'hang' when I do a Build -> Deploy Solution. The output window will just say "Sending deployment script to the server" and the Deployment Progress window will just churn, with no commands listed. It's been running for nearly ~ 1 hr without feedback - how can I tell if AS is working or not CPU on the AS instance is idle. The one workaround I've noticed is to open the database directly in BI Studio, and make the changes there, but this is obviously less than ideal for multiple reasons. hello, i'd suggest to check what's the deployment server specified in your project and whether it's as expected. right click on the project node in solution explorer, and ...Show All

• .NET Development Which one is better internal or public?

  I am creating a game application in XNA Game Studio Express (but it still uses the .Net Framework) and I was wondering if it is better to mark classes, varibles, and ect. as public or internal. I know that public means accessed by all with no restrictions. So this worried me and I didn't know if this may lead to secuirty problems. So, yeah, which is better for a single-application project internal or public. I recommend you read this interesting article by Martin Fowler on Designed Inheritance vs Open Inheritance . It basically comes to the following. Do you want people to use your classes If so, do you want to let them dervice from your classes Also although I am not familiar with the XNA API's I assume that some classes need ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple question

  For some reason I cannot think of how to do this. But what I have is one data adapter that is pulling in hundreds to thousands of records based on some criteria. Each record in this dataset has a unique ID. What I need to do is iterate through each of these rows in the dataset's table and see if this unique ID exists in another SQL database table that contains hundreds of thousands of records. I do not want to pull in this other table do I Is there a Find or Search function Or do I want to pull in and cache the secondary table Or should I just do a SELECT statement and if no rows are returned then I know that the primary key would not be found Thanks for the information They are two different tabl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MoCap -> 3dsMax -> Directx Animation , any ideas?

  Hello guys, I know this must have been discussed here and everywhere else for uncountable times, but... I would like to ask you for your opinion or suggestion, however links, ... anything regarding the topic will be more than welcome. So, I've started a project to school: Use MoCap data and show off some animation...I have some experience with DirectX, but haven't done anything with ANIMATION(Inverse Kinematics,Skinning...) yet.

• Smart Device Development Problem with socket communication for client (On handheld) / server (on PC) application

  Hi all, I have tried posting this message in a couple of different places, and have not gotten much of a response. It is really important that this is resolved for a client of ours, and I've rarely come across a problem I've had to post on a forum to resolve, so please help if you can. I have a client application running on a windows ce .net device, and a server application running on a PC. I have been experiencing problems with the tcp connection dropping (ObjectDisposedException for the NetworkStream) and so I have tried to cut the applications down to their minimal details, so that I can post them and ask for your opinion on the problem. The client sends commands to the server, and the server sends a response. The tcp connecti ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Proxy Server for Single Remote User?

  I can see the obvious benefit of caching files on a local proxy that will be requested by multiple remote users. I'm unclear if this buys anything for a single remote user. Was the intent to simply serve files locally whenever possible or does the cache proxy streamline things in other ways that make it worth setting up for a single remote person If the answer is no, should we in fact avoid setting it up for a single user Will it strictly add overhead Hi Nick: As Martin pointed out the Proxy is really helpful for offices (even if that includes one person) that have a slow WAN connection to the TFS Server. It decreases download time significantly and hence it allows for greater productivity. Wha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Some SQL Database Field Questions

  I am trying to develop a program that would allow users to see the data in their database, and save and edit this data as well. I ran into the following questions though, and would greatly appreciate some assistance because I really don't want to screw this up. As you can see from my questions, I am trying, but this is a completely new thing for me. 1) I want the user to be able to click on the line in the DataGridView and have another window pop up with the data clearly listed and able to be edited and saved. I am still working out how to save data (Any help with that would be great) & for that matter getting a window to open when clicking the appropriate DataGridView row, but one of the things I need them to be able to enter in is a ...Show All
