• Smart Device Development VS2005, How to create Mobile5.0 project

  If I want to create a project for PPC2005, (WM5.0), how do I do that in VS2005. When I click to create new project, I see only the following options under Smart Devices. PPC2003, SP2003 and CE5.0 devices. If I create project for CE5.0 device, the screen sizes are not for PPC devices. We have to adjust each screen's size as well as calling PPC's unmanaged API's throws exception. Can somebody help Thanks. But when I try to create Device Application(1.0) project for Mobile5.0, it says 'This project requires .NET CF1.0 which is not installed on this machine'. I do have VS2003 and .NET CF1.0 with service pack ...Show All

• SQL Server Memory configuration for SQL 2005 x64 bits

  Hi I understand that I do not need to use /PAE on Windows Server 2003 x64bits as it is not supported. I also do not need to use awe enable under SQL Server 2005x64 bits because 64bit SQL doesn't need to use the AWE api to address the larger memory space. When I do a sp_configure, AWE indicates that it is disabled but is that OK Do I still need to set a max and a min memory for SQL Server Is there any pro/cons if I do that Please advise. Thanks. This is really a question for the database engine folks, so I've moved your post to that forum. Paul ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# - DirectX 9.0c - Creating a Basic Hexagon

  I was wondering if someone could walk me through drawing a basic hexagon using DirectX 9.0c in C#. I've been using the Vector3 structure, and I am having problems understanding how to initialize the view transformation matrix for a hexagon, as well as what input vectors will represent the hexagon (understandably 6). Thank you in advance, Owen If I were you I would not purchase the book by Wendy Stahler. The book by Eric Lengyel is very good ( although I do only have the first edition) it provides enough of mathematics and physics to play with for a long time. ...Show All

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Hi, I am just starting programming using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. I have had some limited practice in other languages and older versions of C++, so I have some idea whats going on but not much... Anyway I made a short program which perfroms a bubble sort on an array of numbers which the user enters (I know its nothing to write home about but its a start), it works fine on my PC and when I sent it to a freind who also had VC++ 2005 Express Edition it worked fine for him. However I then sent it to a freind without it (in a fairly poor attempt to persuade him to download it) , and my program didn't work on his PC giving the error: ...Show All

• Windows Forms MaskedTextBox and the Decimal Type

  Hello All, I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. I have a model object that represents a stock part. This part has a price. The price is stored on the database as type money. The price on the object is stored as type decimal. I have a binding source that has this object as it's datasource and it is bound to serveral controls on the stock part view. The bound control for the price is a MaskedTextBox.

• Windows Forms NullReferenceException using CodeDomComponentSerializationService

  I'm seeing a NullReferenceException when calling Deserialize on an instance of CodeDomComponentSerializationService in my custom designer.   I am trying to implement cut/copy/paste functionality.  I have already successfully implemented Undo/Redo using the same class to perform serialization. Using the default Windows Forms implementation for the Paste command (in the private CommandSet class from what I can see), the components are serialized without complaint (using CommandSet's copy and cut), but always throw the NullReferenceException on deserialization.  To troubleshoot, I've attempted an immediate deserializatio ...Show All

• Smart Device Development SP3 question

  I have a few questions about sp3.  This service pack came as a set of distributable cab files, not as an sdk, so how does Visual Studio know anything about it   It seems to be debugging with an older version of the compact framework. I just ran into issues with this while building an install shield project.  Install shield goes to the sdk folder in Visual Studio 2003 and grabs the redistributable cabs there, not ideal for us since we wanted to release sp3 cabs for our newer devices.  Do I have to manually update all the cabs in the sdk directory   Thanks for any insight.

• .NET Development CAS Security and Remoting

  I've found what I believe to be a very strange problem that I am about to call a bug, as I cannot find it documented anywhere. Using .NET 2.0, Remoting and CAS (code access security), I am trying to restrict access to my singleton object on the server side.  I have found that when using singleton (a single call object does not have this issue), the CAS attributes (in this case PrincipalPermissionAttribute is ignored on the method invoked on server side.  Creating a PrincipalPermission and calling PrincipalPermission.Demand() method does infact throw the expected SecurityException in this situation.
