• Visual Basic Blocking Pop ups when auto-delegating tasks in Outlook

  I've noticed at work that when a manager tries to delegate a task, a msg box pops up saying something like "someone is attempting to access your account...how long do you want to allow, etc." Well, I have a macro that managers will run that will automatically delegate a lot of tasks to a lot of individuals and I want to get it done with no extraneous user input. Meaning, if John is delegating a task to Mary, then Mary should not have to do an ...Show All

• Visual C# How to store list using Settings Designer (in 2.0)?

  Using the Settings Designer I can easily store individual items (string, int, double, etc...), but how do I store a list of items.  I used the Browse... selection to set the Type to ArrayList, but I couldn't figure out how to set the default value.  So, in the constructor of my main form, I added the following code... Settings.Default.MyList = new ArrayList(); Settings.Default.MyList.Add( "abc"); Settings.Default.MyList. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Open TCP Channels

  I have some WCF services that work fine with HTTP bindings, but when I attempt to convert it to run with NetTCP bindings, it fails after about 10-12 connection attempts. I suspect that this has something to do with exceeding the maximum number of open TCP channel connections. Do I have to manually close a channel connection on the client side after using it Thanks, Chuck What happened to MaxInboundConnections It no longer seems to be p ...Show All

• Visual C++ sprintf depreciated... so what do we use?

    Now I know that print formatting is available through stream operators, but how can this be used when printing to strings- i cant find anything in std::string (or am I missing something) and I presume there is no inherent method of using string << int etc. Any ideas Thanks Johan, here is my "problem" with string formatting:  sprintf(sv, "as[0],as[1],naf,vr,burst=%.5lf,%.5lf,%d,%.5lf,%d\n",    &nbs ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh size versus scaling

  OK, when creating a mesh (triangles) and defining my simple shape - a rectangle for example - what is the best approach on sizing. That is, should I make a big mesh so it is big when placed in the scene Or should I make the mesh small and then scale it or what ever during the scene One instance of this is putting up a "flat" background image into the scene to serve as the backdrop. I made a "large" mesh (-5, 4, 0 to 5, -4 ...Show All
