• Visual Studio Express Editions Filter to form2

  I am brand new to VB Express 2005 and only just getting starting to understand it. Here is my problem. I have two forms connected to a SQL Express database within the project. Table 1 and Form 1 lists the customers Table 2 and Form 2 Lists the email addresses and passwords for each account 1 customer could have up to 30 email addresses. I can get the customers to show on Form1 and all the emails and passwords to show on Form2 with no problem. I can even add a button that opens Form2. What I am trying to do is open form2 and only shows the data that relates to the selected customer. It’s probably very simple but I am a beginner after all ...Show All

• .NET Development “SchemaImporterExtensions" helps you not to modify the Reference.cs file each time you "Update Web Reference"?

  Hello everyone, I have read that “SchemaImporterExtensions" can modify the way the proxy class is generated. I currently need that ability of modifying the proxy class generation but I don't know how. My case is the following: 1- I am using the same ClassLibrary on the server and client side. 2- Web Methods are returning objects of types that exist in the ClassLibrary (example: ClassA). 3- When I “Update Web Reference” in Visual Studio 2005 it creates a Reference.cs file. It implements a new dynamically generated version of ClassA (from the WSDL), which only contains private fields and public properties with the same names as the alternate properties in the original ClassA of the ClassLibrary. 4- Each time their would be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading embedded files

  Hi, i've added a .xml file to my xna project for windows, i've set it to be an embedded resource, how i can i them read the file n e attempt i make seems to try to read a file from the hdd or from a url many thanks You need to use the System.Resources.ResourceManager class. For example, System.Resources. ResourceManager temp = System.Resources. ResourceManager ( "MyGame1.Properties.Resources" , typeof ( Resources ).Assembly); object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject( "foo" , resourceCulture); byte [] myFileCalledFoo = (( byte [])(obj)); Since you embedded an XML file, it was probably embedded as a string rather than an unknown file (which is byte[]).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VS 2005 Express Application deployment with DirectX?

  Ok, so for as long as i looked to kindof figure out how to deploy a basic application to another Windows XP / server 2003 / 200 / whatever. Basically I got past the initial error: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". Which is VS 2005 speak for you need system dlls and a manifest file. But my real question is... I wrote tetris, trying a handle on this whole graphical programming thing and once i got past the the application configuration error, It now says it cant find d3dx9d_30.dll. After I first saw that, I first copied the DLL into the apllication folder, but that did nothing. I know that copying the DLLs into the application folder isnt really a installation, b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help With Strange Serialization Issue

  I am having a little difficulty troubleshooting a serialization error. I am attempting to send to a WCF service an object that is part of third party software therefore I have no control over how the object is serialized or deserialized. I know the object is serializable because I have been able to successully serialize the object using the soap formatter to a file and then deserialize it from said file. The problem I am experiencing is when I create the object on the client side and send it into the WCF service method. I set a breakpoint on the service but it never makes it. The only exception I get is a timeout on the client side. I have turned on tracing on both the client and server side and I am able to see the message arrive ...Show All

• .NET Development Newbie (?) questions about C# from an intermediate-level programmer...

  I'm reading (and re-reading) the book, Programming C# (4th edition) by O'Reilly. It's a really great book but I have a bunch of questions even after re-reading several parts of it. Here are my questions: 1. Static constructors are only guaranteed to start running before the first instance of your object is instantiated,so is it possible an object can be instantiated before the static constructor is finished running 2. Are constructors (static and non-static) and finalizers automatically thread-safe 3. Do objects with finalizers get garbage collected twice The book says objects with finalizers are put in a special queue when created but I'm confused because it seems like they get collected twice... (eg. first collection calls F ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions IDE Question about braces

  In Beginning Visual C# 2005 Express Edition by Peter Wright it states that Visual Studio will automatically insert closing braces. When you enter a { followed by Enter , the VS editior will automatically drop in a closing } as well. This does not seem to work this way for me and I have been unable to locate an option that would turn this feature on. What am I missing Thank you very much for the reply and information. It is too bad because I think it would be a nice feature. At least we have the automatic brace matching. That is a great help. ...Show All

• SQL Server Staying with the SQL Agent during Execution

  I need to create a stored procedure that triggers off a particular job in the SQL server 2005 agent, waits for the job to complete and then returns back the control to the calling application with the job execution results. As far as triggering off the SQl server agent is concerned, I can use the sp_start_job procedure. But what is the best way to wait for the job to complete execution (Because the sp_start_job proc returns back the control immediately after starting the job). I could use the sp_help_job proc in a loop and wait for the value of the "current_execution_status" column to change from 1 to 4...but is there a better way of doing this Appreciate inputs here. - Thanks, Manmeet Hi Manmeet, What you suggested is ap ...Show All
