• Windows Forms Display large tiff images

  Hi I'm writing an application to display large tiff images. All of the images have the PixelFormat.Format1bppIndexed so the  FILE SIZE of them will not be so big however The DIMENTIONS are very large. for example the file size  of an image with dimensions 29350 x 7172, is only 6.7 MB.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Security Question

  I'm using TFS beta 3 refresh . I'm trying to figure out what permissions should the various groups that use TFS should have and how to crate them. I read the help online that come with TFS and found some discrepancies between what the help says and what the TFS actually does. Examples: 1) U nder the "Project-level permissions" ( I take it it same as Project Administrators group) section, it states that we can set permissions such as "Administer a build","Delete test results", "Edit build quality", etc. But these permissions don't exist. 2) The help also sates that "When you create a new team project, Team Foundation also ...Show All

• Visual C++ File open errors returned when trying to open a file for appending

  I am trying to open a file for appending. ie. if the file exists, open it for appending, if not, create it. I am getting back a NULL pointer, and do not know why. Here is my code excerpt. It is a C file. FILE *pFile; char *cFileName; cFileName=argv[++i]; pFile = fopen(cFileName,"a"); cFileName has a valid filename ('apm.dbg'), and I have full write permissions in the directory. I can step into fopen and when the file is opened, I can see in another window that the file is created with zero bytes. However pFile is returned as NULL. GetLastError() returns: - when the file does not exist: ERROR_NEGATIVE_SEEK // An attempt ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. StateBlock in Managed DirectX using C#

  I am using the April 2006 DirectX SDK and experimenting with StateBlock's. I have followed the sample in the SDK documentation however it seems like nothing is ever getting recorded to the StateBlock. When I call Apply() none of the changes I made to the Device during the BeginStateBlock() EndStateBlock() Capture() get re-applied. Furtermore, any changes that I make to the Device while creating the StateBlock do not get applied to the Device itself. For what it is worth I am using a Pure Device. Can someone please offer some insight Thanks! Here is a code snippet.... device .BeginStateBlock(); device.RenderSta ...Show All

• Windows Forms Docking Problems

  I have a form with a menu and a toolbar, a splitter panel and other controls in the splitter.  If I dock the splitter, it slides up under the toolbar and the menu bar. I put the menu and toolbar into a panel and docked that panel to the top. then dock the splitter to fill or to the left. Fill puts the splitter under the top panel and left moves the top panel to the side.  Is there an attribute I am missing to prevent this   Suggestions Thanks Glen I know I'm late on this post (new to this section of the forum), but even another way is to open the "document outline" (found under the view menu in "other ...Show All

• SQL Server Send Muti-Values to Stored Proc?

  Hi all, I am not too sure whether someone asked this question before, but I am thinking is there a way to send multi-values (selected from a multi-value parameter) and send it to a stored procedure from a DataSet in reports Anyone have any idea how to go about this please help out. Thanks in advance. Daren If the data source type is "SQL Server" or "Oracle", binding a multi value report parameter to a query parameter of the stored procedure will pass in the selected values as comma-separated concatenated string query parameter value. E.g. selecting "A" and " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Write to IDE Application Window TitleBar - should be easy, right?

  It seems like this should be easy, but I can't even find a way to reference the IDE application window itself, let alone write to it's title bar. I want to write a package that helps me see what branch of code I'm currently working in, where the solution file is the same name in all branches and a part of the sourcesafe solution. Any ideas short of finding the hWnd of the App Window and using P/Invoke (which I don't even know how to do but maybe can say )... I am not sure from a package, but from add-ins you would use DTE.MainWindow.Caption -- Best regards, Carlos J. Quintero MZ-Tools: Productivity add-ins for Visual Studio You can ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Creating images in another thread

  I have to load a pretty big image from the storage. I want to make sure that there is no problem to create this image in a background thread and use it in the UI thread. From what I know, only modifying controls in a different thread is forbidden. Yes, it's OK to load images on another thread as long as you do not interact with any controls. For example (assuming code is running on none-UI thread): Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap ("some.bmp"); // OK picturebox1.Image = bmp; // Not OK, needs Control.Invoke. Note NETCF V2 will throw on attempt to access UI from none-UI thread. ...Show All
