• Visual Basic Multi language application

  Hy, I am looking for a convinient way to write a multi language application in vs2005. I know is posible to use .resx files to a project, but I don't want the .exe filte to get to big, so I am looking for a possibility to have separated files for every language and gest copy them in the app.exe directory and the app should use them at runtime to convert itself to the specifig language. If you know links to tutorials or sample code, please let me know. Many thanks, Have a nice day, Hi, for your language files you may use extern.xml-Files. You may save in your app.config which file to load and then take the strings out of a data ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble with Iif!

  Hi! My report has a multi-value parameter used to select the elements to put in the "group by" clause of the query. The report must show only the columns selected in this parameter. As I haven't found any better way to do it (I tried to use an expression to hide/show the column, but this would let the report with a "gap" when the columns selected were the first and the third, for example), I created four tables (one for each possible size of the multi-value parameter), and I'm showing/hiding them based on the size of the parameter. I didn't have any problems to choose the rigth parameter value to show in a column tit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Process Template Plugin

  Hi, I create my own plugin to include in the process template but I don't know how to do the following task and I need help. I want to let the user decide witch folders/files to add/remove in the document library by selecting them in the wizard page at team project creation time. So my question is: Is there a way to do this in a Process Template Plugin If yes could you give me an example Thank you! Eric The process template definition has been ripped apart and handed to each of the plug-ins by the time your plug-in will run. You would not be able to edit the template definition itself, and I don't see an ea ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding non content properties

  If I bind properties like IsReadOnly and Visibility on a TextBox (or any other control), the controls are not refreshed when I change the values on the dataobject. Meaning that the TextBox is still visible and so on. How can I tell the controls to update Best regards, Thomas Andersen Ah, the problem is simple. You're binding to CLR object's properties, but you have not implemented the INotifyPropertyChanged interface on that class. The databinding engine has no other way to know that the property is changed for a CLR object. Here's all you'd need to do to your MyDataObjec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Windows service application in Visual C# Express

  I'm trying to build a simple Windows Service application in Visual C# Express. I simply can't get started. The documentation mentions a NON -existent template, which makes it kind of hard. However, I can see there's a 'ServiceBase' item in the toolbox and I have a feeling that that's the way to go, but there's no documentation telling how to use that. If I start a Windows Form application, I can drop this 'ServiceBase' component on the page, but this must be the wrong approach. Can anyone point me in the right direction - a step by step approach to get started would be really nice (missing in the help files). What project ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture simply duplicates the first pixel

  This is a noob question, but I wasn't sure if it belonged in the beginners or graphics forums. I'm learning DirectX and trying to get textures figured out, but when I load my texture, it just duplicates the first pixel over my entire surface. To let you know in advance, I am using the most recent SDK and Visual Studio 2005 standard edition. Here is my code. "graphics" the first parameter, is the name of my Direct3d device: Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap ( "red.bmp" ); texture = new Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D. Texture (graphics, bmp, 0, Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D. Pool .Managed); And later when I try ren ...Show All

  Hi there, I did a search for any previous posts about slow debugging and found some on the beta version of VS2005. I'm still getting slow debugging on the released VS2005 (pro edition).

• Visual C++ Poor Program Design?

  Hi Griffonbait! My experience with Borland C++ Builder is that BCB puts a declaration in the form's header file and opens up the coding window in the .cpp file ready for coding. My understanding of programming, and the way I have taught it, is that the header file is primarily for declarations not for a project's ("solution" as VC++ calls it) code. 1. Headers files are not needed for OOP-Design 2. The reason why the implementation of the managed-windows-forms C++/CLI is in the header file is, that the windows-forms designer can work probably (that means you can either change in the designer or ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Where do I get WCF Activities

  We keep being teased about prototype WCF Activities in various demos and webcasts to inetgrate WWF with WCF. (SendMessage,ReceiveMessage, SendReceiveMessage,ReceiveSendMessage) Does anyone know where we can obtain these -even if only prototype/Beta it would be useful to get up and running. NB When I add a Indigo Service, via an 'Add Web Service' it does not add a reference to System.ServiceModel.  Contary to James Conard demo. Thanks Jules  Sorry memory of a goldfish I believe the general advice is that in the absence of these Activities being released, there are three options, of which the first two are a) Write the equival ...Show All
