• Windows Forms Accessing STL Strings

  Hi folks, I setup a basic Windows Forms application and wanted to try using the std::string namespace. However, when I went to build the project, the Studio complained that the it was an unknown namespace. Should a .NET app be using some other class or am I doing something wrong here You could use the STL string class but since you're building a WinForms application you probably don't really need it. Just use the String class of the .NET framework (in System namespace). ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Two-way data binding with ColorPicker Demo

  Hi, To gt my head around two way data binding on custom controls I've been trying to bind the Color property of tow of the samle ColorPickers. I'm probably just overlooking something completly obvious but I can't for the life of me see what it is. T add to the confusion the individual bytes Red, Green and Ble bind with no trouble. Any help shaking the cobwebs from my head would be greatly appreciated.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectDraw and Transparent Dialog boxes, flickering

  I am using XP, VC++.NET 2003, and VideoLAN (activex) for streaming video. VideoLAN uses DD2 for most of the drawing, and seems to cause issues with a transparent dialog box sitting over it. It will flicker as VideoLAN (DD2) invalidates the region sitting on-top (the transparent dialog). Is this a problem becuase they use DD2 and not D3D9 Would converting their code to D3D9 stop the flickering I basically want to have an overlay plane that can alpha-blend fade-in and fade-out on-top of VideoLAN. All works perfect, except for this flickering. If I tell VideoLAN to clip itself, it operates as an overlay, no flickering, but no alpha blendi ...Show All

• Visual C# CType

  is there a way to accomplish the following in c# from VB If CType(sender, MenuItem).Checked Then . . . End If The closest in C# is: if (((MenuItem)sender).Checked) { } You could use "as" as the other poster said, but it's not a close equivalent to CType. The "as" keyword in C# is a close equivalent to VB's TryCast, not CType.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 & Reporting Services (Report Manager)

  Hi there! My company is thinking about making the switch over from Crystal reports to RS and it's my job to install and test it over the next month.  Unfortunately I seem to be stumbling at the first hurdle!  The installation process went well together with the setup of the sample reports.  At the moment I'm running this on my local development machine: Windows XP SQL Server 2000 SP4 Visual Studio.net 2003 IIS 5.1 RS 2000 SP2 Due to our company not having a CA for SSL I setup one on a windows 2003 server and generated a cert through here.  This seems to work well (so I thought).
