• Windows Forms Input Validation on Windows Forms

  I am still having trouble getting this straight. I wonder if anyone can help. I have a straightforward Windows Forms application, displaying data in separate controls (not a Datagridview (yet)) bound to a database via a Dataset and BindingSource, all set up automatically in VS. I want to validate my user's input, so: 1. I want to do the validation as soon as the user enters data, while his attention is still on that field, AND I want to write the validation code only once even if I have two forms or tabs looking at the same table(s) -- SO I put validation code in the ColumnChanging event on the DataTable, in the DataSet. This sets the ...Show All

• .NET Development reflection.emit: How to emit an explicit interface implementation?

  Hi, Does anyone know how to create an explicit interface implementation using Reflection.Emit (I'd guess the solution uses MethodBuilder). For example, the following C#: public class MyClass : IEnumerable { ArrayList list; IEnumerator IEnumerable .GetEnumerator() { return list.GetEnumerator(); } } compiles to give the following IL for the GetEnumerator() method .method private hidebysig newslot virtual final instance class [mscorlib]System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() cil managed { .override [mscorlib]System.Collections.IEnumerable:: ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Passing two normals for a vertex to the vertex shader

  I am having absolutely no luck with constructing my own vertex format and use it to store two normals for use in my shader. There are a number of flags which I can set to indicate various items such as position, normal, texture etc, but there is only one normal. How do I define that I want to use both normal and normal1 and for that matter normal5 I need to have a vertex which has a position and two normals. I tried storing one normal in a color for a PositionNormalColored vertex type, but for some reason it fails. I store my normal as color by setting solor to ColorFormat(normal.x / 0.5 + 0.5, .... in order to keep the normals valu ...Show All

• SQL Server AMO: refresh DSV and accept changes..

  I tried the sql server OLAP newsgroup, but without success... this is fairly urgent, so will try in here: I am stumped on this, how can I programmatically do what can be done in Visual Studio by: 1. Right clicking inside datasource view 2. Choosing refresh 3. Accepting the changes I am trying to get new fact table columns into the DSV, obviously without doing the manual steps above. I have tried dsv.Refresh() and dsv.Update() but it is not as simple as that or the sequencing is incorrect (or, most likely, I am looking in entirely the wrong place). Thanks for any help.

• Visual Studio Team System lost permissions after installing Team Build

  This issue concerns Team Foundation Server December 2005 CTP. Scenario: The server was deployed on a single-server and in a corporate domain environment. Team Build component was NOT originally installed. Customer began using the server and creating various team projects and checking code into source control. All was fine.

The issue occurred after we restarted the Team Foundation Server (after testing out that Team Build was working nicely). Afte ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generate documentation under .Net 2.0?

  I really need to generate some documentation under .Net 2.0. I know that this issue has been raised in a previous post few month ago, but no explicit solution has been provided. Also the NDoc project seems dead (as suggest the broken wiki). Does anyone has a practical (even minimal) solution to generate documentation for .Net 2.0 Thanks in advance, Joannes Hi Joannes, There is an option to create an XML file based on the comments entered. You probably can generate that and apply an XSL to that to get an HTML appearance to the XML. Regards, Vikram ...Show All

• Visual Basic New to visual basic

  hi, I hope that someone can help I downloaded visual basic and created a form in windows application and do not know how to print the form, can you please help. thanks, perry If you just downloaded Visual Basic, does that mean you've never coded before If so, you'd probably do better to pay someone to write code for you, unless you're willing to take the time to learn to program. Remember, programming is a 4 year higher education course. It won't take four years to learn to drive VB, but it won't happen in a week, either. ...Show All

  Dear Anyone, Is there such a thing as Data-Driven Snapshots Snapshots generated based on different parameters. Thanks, Joseph Hey Joseph -- No such animal :) Your best bet is to create a series of linked reports, changing the various parameters along the way. Then, create your snapshots off of the linked reports...A bit labor intensive, I know, but it will get you what you want! ...Show All
