• .NET Development Access Database JET 4 using VB.NET

  Hi,     I would like to know if I need to have MDAC_TYP installed on my PC to allow an application to write to an access 2000 database.  The VB.NET application uses adodb and I thought that the .NET framework installation and also the deployment package would take care of the dependancies. However, when I tried to run the application on a PC that did not have MS Office installed it failed when trying to write to the database. I think the easy option is to install MS Office but I would like to know if there is another way to do this. The PC that I want to run the application on is running Windows NT4.0 and although MDAC is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. issues installing DXSDK_Dec2005.EXE

  Hi, I downloaded the SDK (december 2005) and I cannot install it. A window comes up saying: "Extracting file failed.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Which software to use, to author .x files?

  I've come to the point in my 3D application where, I have created all basic 3D stuff and rendering 3D primitives with textures. It is time to import .x files and render them. I used the tiger.x and tiger.bmp and the code from the Meshes tutorial and it worked fine. But what I want to do is create my own .x files - textures applied. Also, the Meshes tutorial says that D3DX can only handle the geometry and we have to setup the textures and materials for the mesh. What software should I use to author .x files and apply textures to them Any freeware or shareware will be helpful because I don't have money to buy commercial softw ...Show All

• Windows Forms passing variables between forms again :)

  I have read about five different threads about passing variables between forms and none of them have made much sense to me or helped me. I know i am very new and green but can't seem to figure it out. So one more time could some one help me in simple terms. Show me how to be able to access data from one form to the next. I am wanting to for example access a string that i have assigned in form1 and use it in form 2. Don't know how to do it. I am using VS 2005 C# Thanks for any help with me being so dense. Generally the easiest way is to make a property (accessor method) on the form that has the variable and a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Runtime Error On Delete / Free, only with "/MD" and outside the IDE

  Hi, I appreciate any help with this issue. I have an application which runs fine both in debug and release mode, if I launch it within the IDE.

• Visual Basic Publishing a program with an Access Database

  Hi, I was working on a program with Access Database and although the program works fine when run on Debug mode from within Visual Studio 2005, when I tried to publish it into an executable setup file, the access databse doesnt seem to be included. Is there any particular additions I have to make to the resources or settings to include the database file before I publish The reason is, when I work with a SQL server database, VB 2005 takes it automatically. But not the same with Access Databases. If someone could tell me why this is so and how to rectify it, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks and regards. Arun. ...Show All
