• Visual Basic Can I open a form when all I have is the name as a string?

  My project has a number of forms.  I would like to provide a procedure that would open one of the forms -- the form name would be passed as a string to the procedure.  The requested form is probably not already open. In other MS products, I would do this by iterating over a FormsCollection searching for a matching name.  No FormsCollection here.  I found another example that would build a collection of open forms, but my requested form is probably not already open. I can build a collection of forms by hardcoding each form name, but I would prefer to have a tool that will always have the current set of form names without ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Basic question: Transforming a vertex is shaking my worldview

  Wow, I always thought I had had matrix transformations pretty well figured out until now. So say I have a vertex, conveniently located at the origin (0,0,0). If I want to apply a transform to this vertex -- namely, a translation, I could do something like this: Matrix translationMatrix = Matrix .Translation(100.0f, 50.0f, 0.0f); // a simple 2D translation Vector3 myVector = new Vector3 (0, 0, 0); myVector.TransformCoordinate(translationMatrix); As expected, my vector gets transformed to its new value: (100, 50, 0). Now let's get crazy. Assume that I want to apply a transform that consists of a rotation and our previously ...Show All

• SQL Server Case Statment - is this possible??

  the current statment reads as follows - SELECT @NonConsent as NonConsent, @NonConsentPAS as NonConsentPAS,  SUM(CASE WHEN Cast(DateDiff(Day, EP.DateofBirth, GetDate())/365 as int) <=25 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) As Under25,  SUM(CASE WHEN Cast(DateDiff(Day, EP.DateofBirth, GetDate())/365 as int) >25 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as Over25 FROM......... this works fine but now ive been asked to expand upon this for the following age groups 18-25 26-35 36-45 46-55 56-65 66-75 >75 so i was just going to do the following SUM(CASE WHEN (Cast(DateDiff(Day, EP.DateofBirth, GetDate())/365 as int) >=18 AND Cast(DateDiff(Day, EP.DateofBirth, Get ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Comboboxes to custom lists

  I am running .NET Framework 2.0 B2 I am missing something when it comes to implementing databinding in custom classes. I have a view class that acts as my main data source. The view class basically just loads up the data and returns via properties and BindingLists of NameValuePairs (which is just a replacement for KeyValuePair so that databinding will work) The view class also maintains current properties that tell me what the current selected id is for my state, city and street. However when I run the form the databinding seems to get behind. If I choose a new state, the cities refresh, but the text in the state box stays the same. Then whe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development win ce 4.1 and seting / getting timezone in c#

  I have an app that needs to be on the correct time of day and time zone. I have the code to set the time by a pinvoke call. I found an API call for Get and Set Time Zone but it wants a C/C++ struct that I am not sure how to create in C# the msdn docs call for WCHAR blah[32]; which if I am thinking right means an array of 32 UNICODE chars not a pointer to a string. and C# will not let me declare a struct with a fixed array size like char[32] foo; can someone give me the right struct or class to pass to this platform call thanks!     Hi! I can only give you the VB struct: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build and MSBuild order

  Hi, I have a team build type setup that will build several solutions in my team. I have one solutions however that consistantly fails when automatically build using Team Build. It appears that running msbuild on the tfsbuild.proj file that is created somehow calls project targets in the wrong order for this one solution file. If I build the solution file separately (still using the command prompt and msbuild) it is ok, but when build from the tfsbuild file it fails. Looking at the build output, it is clear that the order is wrong, but I can't workout what the order is. It doesn't seems to relate to the sln file!! Can anyone help Regard ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Services

  Configuring sql services is a nightmare. Why it seems like the tools to configure it are quirky and don't work as advertise. Anways, I've spent the last two weeks trying to set up remote reporting. The following list are a few issues I ran into and what I did to get around them. Hope this helps. Tip : If possible, don't every mess with the report server virtual directories (like recreating them), you'll end up with a permissions nightmare. Issue : Report Builder wasn't launching (clicked on the link but nothing happen) solution : In turn out to be some Internet explorer setting. I ended up resetting IE to all of it's defaults, which fixed ...Show All
