• SQL Server SQL Server Mobile tutorial and getting proper mobile DB installation

  Hi folks, I'm new to Windows Mobile progamming, and new to this forum. Apologies in advance if I'm asking a boneheaded question, but I've done searches and can't find anything directly applicable to my problem.

• Visual Basic Returning Private Sub Name In Error Message

  I have a command button on a form to delete the current record.  The corresponding subroutine is called Private Sub cmdDelete_Click().  I'm looking for a way to display "cmdDelete_Click" in an error message if an error is thrown.  I want to have the the statment be the same for each subroutine I have so I don't have to hard code the name for each one.  Is there a way to return the name of the current subroutine as I described   I found something like form.module.name but that wasn't it. Here's an example - which will display the Assembly and function name that the exception wa ...Show All

• .NET Development App.Config Schema

  I just uninstalled Beta 2 yesterday and installed VS 2005.  I have been updated my Beta 2 projects to RTM and seeing if anything has broken or just generally seeing if anything is different.  One thing I noticed was when I build a project with an App.Config file that has been generated by the Settings.settings designer I get warnings and comments about realating to the App.Config not matching the schema.  The Schema it is referencing is DotNetConfig.xsd and some of the warnings and comments I get are: Warning 1 The 'requirePermission' attribute is not declared.

  I am testing ASP.NET web controls and am facing difficulties in getting code coverage information from my tests.  For testing our web controls, I am using the [HostType("ASP.NET")] and [UrlToTest(" http://localhost/TestSite ")] attributes in my test projects to either test a website that has these webcontrols, or dynamically add these controls to a empty test website and test their properties and methods. So my project structure is like this  c:\>     - InetPub         -wwwroot            -UnitTestWebSite   & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions GACUTIL

   === Edited by AdeptBlue @ 19 Jan 2006 4:04 AM UTC=== Me again ... I think this is a bug in VS2005 Express ! I just added my DLL to GAC manually without any problem. (Don't ask why I didn't try that before -- sometimes I am so dumb I scare myself) Will the VS205 team pick up this bug report here or should I post it some other way (Maybe a silly question, but I'm a newbie) ====================================== OK ...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Adaptive, temporal Anti-aliasing

  Hello, how do I enable ADAPTIVE or TEMPORAL anti-aliasing modes in the Direct3d API I dont think you do - the various AA modes seem to suffer hugely from various PR and marketting spin when it comes to naming. It might be possible to request a particular combination that the driver can interpret as being one of the special modes, but what (if any) such combination is going to be IHV-specific. The Direct3D API sees multi-sampling as a combination of samples and quality levels - resolving those combinations to specific names/modes/formats in "Marketting Speak" is not straight forward.
