• Visual Studio Express Editions Any way to simulate a key being pressed?

  I'm wondering if there is a way to simulate a key being pressed, such as ENTER. I need to do this without targetting a specific window, just simulate as if somebody hit enter on the keyboard. I cannot target the window (or more like I don't know how) because I'm not creating the window. It's a print dialog that is created by the FaxServer object. Any ideas I know that simulating enter would certainly not be the best answer (without targetting), because any number of things could happen to screw it up, but it's my last resort. Thanks. What about SendKeys.Send( "{ENTER}" ) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. problem with multimedia timers

  hii i am working on a directx application which uses a multimedia timer( http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/G-M/mult...cle.php/c1581/ ) problem am facing is that the timer is behaving indifferently when it comes to CPU usage. It takes 0-1% CPU on WindowsXP...But its taking 15-20 % on Win2000. When i tried it on another system with Win2000 it gives 0-1 %.But after running the application for sometime the CPU usage automatically increase to 20 % and i gotta restart the system to bring CPU usage to 0-1% cheers vinod http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directx9_c/Game ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS.NET 2003 and Team Foundation Server

  I recently installed the MSSCCI Provider for VS.NET 2003. Shortly thereafter, I began receiving a number of error messages. Sometimes, upon opening VS I'll receive the message "Critical Error of Source Control Provider. Please restart IDE." Restarting the IDE usually results in the same message, but it seems as though restarting the entire OS sometimes fixes it. When I don't get that error on opening, I'll receive an error later on that simply says "Failed to Initialize." These errors tend to occur in large numbers, so once I see that once I usually see it a few dozen times in a matter of a minute or so. Finally, VS now ...Show All

  Hello: I tried to synchronize the SQL 2000 database with the SQL mobile server on PDA with SQL server management studio from SQL 2005 .

• .NET Development Using in Statement with DataTable.Select in ADO.Net

  I am using this code to get rows from a datatable but it throws an exception (Cannot perform '=' operation on System.Guid and System.String) DataRow [] drows = dt.Select( "RefID in('1e1cde8e-28b6-493d-b6ce-d1b81b69e83f','1e1cde8e-28b6-493d-b6ce-d1b81b69e83f')" ); PS it works with strings and fails when working with guids. Your help is appreciated. I think this may be a bug in the DataSet. You can use a Guid column in a simple comparison like this: DataRow [] drows = dt.Select( "RefID = '1e1cde8e-28b6-493d-b6ce-d1b81b69e83f'" ); But not with an IN clause. You s ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Committing changes to dataset.

  Well I currently have multiple forms. On one from I make changes to the dataset and access that data later but on the next form the data is back to its original value. Not sure if i am really saving the changes correctly. I have tried .beginEdit() - .endEdit(), .AcceptChanges(), .Update() to attempt to save the changes. I am starting to think that I may not be saving the changes correctly because if the changes were saved accessing those fields in teh database should yeild the new result. So some help/thoughts would be appreciated. Are you using data binding If so, which data source upd ...Show All
