• Visual C# How to direct Drawing to a contained object (panel)?

  Hi There, I would like to draw a line within a panel on my form. Using the OnPaint event, I have been able to draw on the form object itself. Is it possible (syntatically) to direct the system to draw inside a specific control from the form's OnPaint event, or do I have to create another OnPaint event for that particular control. Thanks, Karl panel.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(myPanelPaint); void myPanelP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions crude benchmarks

  Folks: I did some crude benchmarks (moving around arrays of integers, generating random numbers w/ .Next() and .NextDouble(), no I/O) and found that for visual express beta 2, my c++ and c# code were much slower than my python code (w/ psyco).  I cannot believe this is true, but it may be there are issues with the beta and compiler options that I'm being stupid about.  I did (for c++) use the release option -- is there anything else g ...Show All

• SQL Server Still a problem with Report Refresh Icon

   In my installation of RS 2005 when I click the Refresh Icon on a report the report doesnt update. But when I click the "View Report" button it does. For example, if I change the parameters on the report and click the refresh icon the report seems to flicker as if it was rfreshing but the report data remains the same, even the paramaters in the report remain the same (I have the parameters that are selected in the report header) Anyon ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro FoxPro v9 vs Visual dBASE Plus 2.01 BDE 5.2.02

  Hi there. I just installed a Visual FoxPro 9.0 and started "playing" with it. Tried to create a table - it is straightforward and then a form. It seems to be a rich platform. Something puzzles me though. I do have extensive experience with Visual dBASE PLUS and previous versions in terms of OO language and form/table designer. Thus I am trying to compare. I am attempting to migrate to MS software/platforms wholesale since the dBASE is offering l ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI header files and code layout?

  I was under (the possibly false) impression that the new c++/cli compiler would allow me to write code (at least the managed part) in .cpp or .h files as I please.  I thought it would be a multi pass compiler where symbols were gathered first with namespaces used to differentiate what would otherwise be symbol clashes.  The code could then be laid out more like C# or Java. What I have found is that I still have to #include co ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 'culture demo from GDC2006

  @ the Microsoft booth last week, GDC 2006, a small cellular automata game called 'culture was on display. It was described as "a visually stimulating 3D floral simulation of cellular automata." This was apparently a promotional project to show how fast a C++ programmer could learn C# and the XNA framework and produce something visually interesting. I found this small XNA application to be a beautiful interactive toy, and would enjoy ha ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPS Sample Latitude/Longitude not correct

  I have a Pharos GPS unit with both the Blue Tooth and USB interface. I used hypertermal on a XP machine with the USB interface to record some raw GPS output.
