• Visual Basic Adding Data to the original Data Source/Access Database

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding components!

  Hi, I am having some trouble adding components to VB express edition 2005. How can I do that please Bee Sorry I did not explain well enough. I meant when you make a component (control) and want to add it to a windows application in VB.NET. In Visual Studio 2003, you usually add it by right clicking the Toolbox and then select add...then you browse to where the control is and add it. After that the control will appear on the toolbox with other tools. I tried that on VB.NET express edition 2005, but it does not give me the option to add a new control. Is there any other way of doing it in this environment please ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Decent amount of memory to run Virtual PC

  Yesterday I was at our local Microsoft office to watch presentation of new VS Team System feature. The speaker used Virtual PC on his notebook and it was painfully slow. Grotesquely slow. The speaker had to have QnA breaks during his presentation while his PC was executing selected action. I asked him how much RAM he had. One gig. And this is what I was going to have on my notebook to test Beta 2. Out of the question. But before I plan for 1.5 Gig (planning for more will be much more expensive, since I will then have to throw away the RAM I have now), I'd like to ask about your experience. Is this decent Another question is what OS to choo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista EventQueueName question

  Hello, I have the following questions: 1) the EventQueueName is only related to an activity of type HandleExternalEventActivity (for example in the collection returned by the method GetWorkflowQueueData of an instance). Is this afirmation correct 2) has the DelayActivity a queue item like the one mentioned before (something like DelayQueueName with delay activity data) Thanks, Markus Hey Markus, (1) Yes, the queue(s) and their name(s) are created when the WF arrives at the state. In addition to those, there is the SetState QueueName, so externally we can always SetState where e ...Show All

  I have a table in the database. One of the column is of datetime type. What is the best way to insert and retrieve value from that column. Here is the scenario 1) I want to insert value '02/03/2006' into the column. How does the sql server know that the month is 02 and not 03. Will it look into the system settings.

  Hello everyone, I've been using the D3D Sprite object to create a simple sprite based game.  Everything was going accordingly until it came to scroll the camera.  After trying many implementations and reading conflicting resources I've come here asking for help. My objective:  Center the camera on an object that moves around the world.  The problems: Setting the device.Transform.View matrix does nothing. Setting the sprite.SetWorldViewLH(myWorld, myView) crashes the application. Setting the sprite.Begin(SpriteFlags.ObjectSpace) flag does something, but I cant see any of my objects.
