  I guess I'm just curious how many of you fair people use solely C++ for your DirectX babies and how many use the managed env Why do you prefer one over the other Could it be that managed env is superseding C++ in DirectX Contribute your opinion!   David Weller wrote: Yes, it's definitely possible now to write a DirectX game in COBOL ! Wow, that's disturbing.  If it was freely available, I'd be tempted to port some of my tutorials to COBOL.  Morbid curiosity can take you a long way. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem formatting currency to different decimal places

  I'm trying to format a field value to currency on a SQL report. I need to allow for 4 decimal places to the right of the decimal if the field value contains those digits. (ie. $6.8484). Most of the time I will not have 4 places to the right of the decimal and would like to format according to the amout of decimal places. For example, If the value is 1 dollar, I don't want to format as $1.0000. I need a way to format the values according to the amount of digits to the right of the decimal. (ie. 1 dollar = $1.00, 3.453 = $3.453, 2.4453 = $2.4453) Is there an easy way to do this using C2,C3, and C4 Please help. ...Show All

• Visual C# Components parameters

  Hi everyone, In here; (object sender,System.EventArgs e) I do not understand anything from the parameters of C#'s components. What is the logic of using these paramater for all components in C# Would you please explain them to me Thanks, Mert The sender is the object which causes the event to be raised. E.g. the button you clicked on or the combobox of which you changed the selected index. You can use those when you have 2 similar controls with the same behaviour, you attach the same eventhandler to the event and by using the "sender" object you can still get different results. e.g. (( ComboBox )sender).Text will give y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reportviewer print dialog problem

  My .NET version 2 application creates reports by calling a method from a dll (which I also wrote) which displays a form containing a user control which in turn contains a ReportViewer. I set the viewer's .ReportPath, .BindingSource, and .DataSource properties and call the .RefreshReport method. The viewer displays the report correctly. When I click the viewer's Print button, the Print dialog correctly appears, but I have to click the dialog's Print button twice to actually send the report to the printer.

• Visual Studio Team System Area not refreshed in Work Items - TFS RTM

  After removing Area Items I used to test the behavour of the Area Path and setting up correct items I still see previous Area items. I found topics addressing same problem for Beta version of TFS, but: 1. I have Release version of TFS. 2. Restarting VS doesn't solve the problem. 3. Clearing TFS cache doesn't solve the problem. 4. New Work Items still have previous Area Items. P.S. I scanned all TFS databases/tables/columns for old and new Area Item names and got following results: 1. New Area items appeared in TfsIntegration.dbo.tbl_nodes where structure_type = 'ProjectModelHierarchy'. 2. Old Area items appeared in: T ...Show All
