• Windows Forms Possible bug in transparent forms

  I am working on an app with a transparent window. I do the standard things such as create a background image, set the transparent key to match the background, set no border, etc. If I set the BackgroundImageLayout to be "Center", I no longer get a transparent window. If I leave the image as "Tile" then I do get a transparent window as expected (i.e. the window is non rectangular and looks just like my image file.) I don't know why it should not work if the background image is "center". So far, the best I can do is set the image to "tile" and then size the window, but this does not work if I want to be ...Show All

• Visual C# Is this a bug or by design? Settings declared internal when autogenerated???

  In relation to this question I had concerning how to access settings that are declared in another project: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=116815#116815, I have some concerns with the way VS2005 beta 2 sets up the Settings file. When you create a Settings config file, it creates a Settings class that is marked internal to the Properties file. For example, the generated code from one I just created looks like: namespace ExportImportManager.Properties {        [global::System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CompilerGeneratedAttribute()]     internal sealed partial class Settings ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX 10 Game in VB. NET

  I want to create my first game in Visual Basic. NET by managed DirectX 10 SDK. Please, help me, friends. I thinck it is easy to do 3D Game in VB. NET. To use DirectX 10 in any sort of a game at the moment will be hard, for one there is not really any hardware around that can use it's functions. Also the code is still in beta, and I dout that any company would let you produce a game using beta code. Also it is not really that easy to create a game in 3D, and just asking here will not get you that knowledge. For one how much experience do you have I would start first with the basics and work your way up, now this includes t ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting SQL2000 problem

  Hi All, I have a sqlserver 2000 & 2005 both installed on same server with the instance name as servername\sql2000 and servername\sql2005. When i try to connect the sql2000 database from dotnet2002 or 2003, It comes up with an error as sql server doesnot exist or access denied but when i tried with dotnet2005, i am able to connect it.

• SQL Server Has anyone noticed a size difference between 2.0 and 3.0?

  I had an application that I had written in C# under the .NET Compact Framework that imported CSV files and wrote them to a newly created SDF. I usually ran the application under Emulation. The resulting SDF was usually about 1.6 Megabytes. Now, under VS 2005 and SQL Mobile (AKA 3.0), the same application, compiled under the .NET Compact Framework 2.0, using the same CSV files generates an SDF of over 13 Megabytes. Obviously, this was a bit unexpected and is having a rather negative impact on the HP iPaq rx1950 that the database was supposed to be running on. The database is encrypted during the create call on both .NET CF's and SQL CE v ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I read data from a dataset directly into a sql database table using IS ?

  Hi ! I've got a series of datasets which I need to transfer directly into a set of database tables.  I can't find any tools in the IS for doing this, except using a XML source, which means I have to use a temporary file, which I of course won't have.  What am I missing   What  is the way to do this Any help appreciated ! They reside in .net assemblies.  The data comes from a system where we can generate .net "proxies", that is ordinary .net assemblies, where the data is delivered as typed datasets.   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Path Argument To Load Crystal Report Using Visual Basic That Allows Me To Move Folder Without Update Of Load Message Argument

  How do I do a Load with the default CrystalReport1.rpt file location that VB gives me This file is created by Visual Basic, but I have to specify it in the Load message to view the report.  The key to the question is I do not want to use the full path to the file. I want to be able to move the entire folder around and I do not want to have to change the argument to the Load when I move the folder each time.  I want some kind of generic way to use the Load method that will work if I have the application folders in one location or another location without changing the Load argument.
