• Windows Forms Populating controls from a ListView

  I have a ListView control that is populated with values from a DataSet. I want to (upon selecting a row in the ListView control) populate a series of controls on the same form (text boxes, combo boxes, etc.). In VB6, I would use the ItemData property to snag the ID and use that as a key to find the corresponding record. I don't see a way to associate an ID with each row in the ListView. If I can do this, I can then get the ID and get the corresp ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question on ID3DXEffect::SetArrayRange

  Hi, I'm currently adding shader instancing to our engine. After I changed the single world matrix in the effect file to a matrix array, I noticed a heavy performance drop. The fps went down by almost 30%. After some investigation I found that the fps changes with the size of the matrix array, so the effect framework seems to always copy all elements of the array, not only those that were actually set. I then wanted to optimize this using the ID3 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't access to the documents

  Hi, I can't access the documents tree. There is no permissions problem (I can view the sharepoint site via browser, but not in team explorer). Thanks, Michael The URL used to access the SharePoint site is stored as an absolute URL (i.e., with protocol, port number and machine name) in TFS Registration data. The first thing to check is that the URL that is specified in the registration data actually works from the client machine ...Show All

• .NET Development Use .net serialization or a custon soultion?

  Hi, Basically, I need to clone objects to remote processes. Now it's not that simple... I want to decide per remote client which members are to be serialized. Some of the data must remain hidden for security reasons, and the extent of the data hiding is dynamically computed at runtime and may change per object per client over time. In some cases only a part of a  class might have changed. I'd want to serialize only the affected ...Show All

Try setting the the BarBreak property of the  MenuItem instances you are dealing with in order to acomplish this. ...Show All

• .NET Development Create a Non-Serialized Event in 2.0

  I am having trouble creating an event that is non-serializable in 2.0. In 1.1, I would have just put the [field:NonSerialized] Attribute on the event as this is the MS-endorsed hack for making it non-serializable. What I'm trying to do is the following: public delegate void Notification(object notificationObject); public interface INotification { [field: NonSerialized ] event Notification NotificationEvent ; } ...Show All
