  Does anyone know if it's possible to have a VB.NET application pick up a phone call and act as a "virtual call center"  (Kinda like the ones you hear on major companies support lines). hmmm yeah that's pretty much how its based.  It can do inbound and outbound calling. If you open up the webpage in IE, you'll see and he ...Show All

• Windows Forms Relaunch of Windows Form

  Hello all I have a small problem. In most cases I can track these things down pretty easy but the complexity of the application after 2 years of development and use has made it hard to track down this last one. The Scenario: Main application runs in the background 1 pixel X 1 Pixel which launches the initial form. When a form is ready to open another form I do the following: BPS.frmMain frmMain = new frmMain(); frmMain.Show(); this .Dispose(); this .Close(); The problem: Due to third party APIs (Written in anything from C++, to VB to me porting from VB to VB.Net and then to C#) being called a form I will dispose ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder! If I start the team explorer on the server the documents folder is shown correctly. I tried to copy the http-url ( http://[servername]/sites/[Project ]) to an IE on a client and there the sharepoint site is shown without any problems. I did the changes required after installation of Sharepoint Portal Services SP2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/07/478336.aspx ). I think I also configured the users like mentioned in the install guide (TFSInstall-v50926.chm - Manag ...Show All

• Visual C# Seting a default values for Parameter Methods

  Hi! How set a default value for parameters on C# Methods Sample: public int mymethod (int param1 =0, int param2 = 1, int param 3 = 1) {....} This declaration show the CS0241 error. thanks. C# does not support default parameters. However you can fake it by using overloading: public int mymethod(int param1, int param2, int param3) {...} public int mymethod(int param1, int param2) { mymethod(param1, param2, 1); } public int mymethod(int param1) { mymethod(param1, 1, 1); } public int mymethod() { mymethod(0, 1, 1); } ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Activity State Deserialization Problem

  Hi, I am trying to control the state serialization of a simple custom activity. I added four methods to the activity marked with the Attributes OnSerializing, OnSerialized, OnDeserializing, OnDeserialized . When the activity is used within a simple sequential workflow, the OnSerializing method and the OnSerialized method are called when the method rootActivity.Save(fileStream) is executed in the PersitenceService. But the OnDeserializing method and the OnDeserialized method are not called when the method Activity .Load(fileStream, outerActivity) is executed in the PersitenceService. What can I do to control deserializing the custom ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Terrain Rendering

  I have a quick question... What are some of the best/simplest ways to render large terrains for games such as a MMO or a FPS like Far Cry I have skimmed over some LOD stuff using quadtrees and this seems to be ok but I was thinking of using an LOD technique that changes with distance from camera. I am not sure what this is called. But i was wondering if this would be a good way to go about it. Thanks in advance. Sorry to hijack a bit here. But I have heard abou streadmin/paging before, but it is hard to find any info on it. Info like, how big should the terrain parts be, and how do you load the other terrain In an other thread with low ...Show All

  Does anyone know how to download the MSDN CD for VB 6.0 The help doesn't work without installing it. Thanks Dale The MSDN CD for VB6 should have shipped with the product.

• Visual C# form

  Hi, I have several windows form which were designed in vb.net i.e. they have .vb at the end of their names How can I convert them to .cs so that I can develop in .cs pls Thanks There's always code involved. Unlike Win32 resource files the .NET resource file for forms doesn't contain the information needed to display the form. The form code sits in a file called formname .designer. lang . If you go to Solution Explorer and enable Show All Files the file will show up under your form's file. You can copy the contents of this file and paste them into the equivalent file in C#. Modify the code to meet C# syntax a ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual C

    Hi! I have 3 questions about Visual C. 1-) Will Microsoft support Visual C(native Win32 API)   applications in the future Is there any declarations from Microsoft Developer Team 2-) If i'm not wrong, the 90% percent of programs for windows is written in native code.(such as Winamp). Do u think, that all firms in 2-3 years will migrate to .NET 3-) I'm pretty good in Visual C.(not MFC) I can hook the system, change the registry entries, write MDI programs etc. So do I need to learn .NET   If you are using C, and not C++, then you're already chasing a niche mar ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't install WinFX because of BITS service

  Well, I gave up on the december CTP, and trying to install on XP. So I've moved to Vista (build 5271) and getting this development environment set up is so far even more fun :) I can't even get the first part installed - WinFX runtime - it keeps stopping saying the BITS service isn't available. But I've checked and the service is there, running, and so are all of it's dependency services. No errors in the event log about any problems with the service. So what gives I just want to successfully install this stuff once and for all - do any others have these headaches or is it just me :) Hard to believe no ...Show All

• SQL Server How To Avoid Table Scan

  Hello All, Is their any way I can avoid a Table Scan by modifying the follow WHERE clause WHERE tbl_mis_Dashboard.loan_active_flg = 1 AND [tbl_mis_Dashboard].[loan_create_dt] between DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd,0,dateadd(mm,-13,getdate())), 0) And getdate() The field loan_create_dt is indexed on the table tbl_mis_Dashboard.
