• Windows Forms Where would you place the business logic?

  Thanks a lot for this excellent example application! By the looks of the source and the documentation, TaskVision doesn't seem to have a real business layer. Instead, you have webservices that call the DAL with almost no logic in between. I understand that for this particular application, there is not much business logic to talk about, but consider if this  ...Show All

• .NET Development access permission probelms. HELP ME!!!

  I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop, both running win xp home. Both are wirlessly enabled and connect wirelessly to the internet through a belkin router. The desktop will happily see the laptop and share files, and everything seems to work just fine. The laptop, however, refuses to see the desktop. I have shared all folders properly, both are part of the same workgroup, and I have run the network set up wizard, and tried to connect using RUN and the IP address. Whenever I try to connect the laptop to the desktop I get the same message; \\... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Cont ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office unable to cast System.__ComObject as Microsoft.....Outlook.Applicaton

  I have just got an error that I can't understand. I have a working Outlook Add-in (developed in Visual Studio 2003) that is running on several test PCs all running Outlook 2003. I suspect that they may not be running .NET v2 though, I can't check for a few hours yet! I have installed the Add-In on a new PC (running .NET v2) that only has Exchange profiles (another difference) and I get an error. The error is "unable to cast System.__ComObject as Microsoft.....Outlook.Applicaton. The code line is:- (using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;) Outlook.Application oA = new Outlook.ApplicationClass(); I have seen a couple of posts ...Show All

• Visual Studio Complex automated build environment, conditional dependency resolution, multiple SCC branches

  I'm trying to set up a fairly complex build environment consisting of multiple configurations. The details for this environment are as follows: I need to have two branches of source code for a project in our SCC system. One for current stable code, ready for release to customers, another for "bleeding-edge" code containing our latest and greatest fixes and features. I need to build each branch independently, but using the same VS Project regardless of what branch of code is being built. This product that spans multiple projects, most of which are evolving independently and some of which are shared among other products ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports & Networking in C#?

  Hi, I just read a little bit about Reports and I really like it and think it would greatly fit into one of my applications. But the problem I have is, that the reports access the database directly. The database server, which my application is using is only available at localhost. So I've a server / client architecture and I need the reports in the client. So my question is, if it is somehow possible to create a report in the server application and send it (with serialization for example) to the client where it will be shown to the user. Can someone give me a hint on this one greetings Stampede Hello, You cou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Add an option to run rules on a STA thread?

  I have three custom rules that specifically test WinForms.

Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it.   at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.set_AutoCompleteMode(AutoCompleteMode value) ... in the form's InitializeComponent.

• .NET Development Undocumented Changed SqlDbType behaviour in .NET 2.0

  Has anyone experienced this 'feature' and if so found a neat solution that avoids a lot of recoding In .NET 1.x when you create SqlParameter objects, without specifying the SqlDbType, .Net would infer the SqlDbType from the .Net type that contains the parameter's value.  A string would infer nVarChar. The same code, converted to VS2005, running over .NET 2.0 experiences different behaviour.  On some, but not all(aargh!), ocassions a SqlDbType of nText is inferred for a .Net 'parameter value' type of string.  This is not even one of the listed options in the MSDN documentation.  (It is even more odd given that I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Water???

  Well, I figured i could start out the new forums with a question on water. I am wondering the best place to start implementing water into my game, I understand that the look will be done with HLSL mostly but i am wondering if i should just throw down a plane and start shading it or if there is a better way to go about it. I have read multiple papers on rendering it with multiple methods in order to get the best look and performance but all the methods take some work to get going, so i figured just getting it to show up with a good look is a start. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. as I understand it, you can reduce the complexity o ...Show All
