• Visual Basic setting startup form in 2005

  Hey, I am trying to upgrade one of my applications from VB.NET 2003 to 2005, but encountered a problem. In 2003 I had the following Sub placed in a Module: Public Sub Main() Application.Run(New LoginForm1) If NoAuthorization = False Then Application.Run(New MDIParent1) End Sub This would be set as the startup of the application...... it would load the Login Form...... if the user provides a wrong username or password 3 times runni ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there a simple way to flip a Sprite?

  It's been a while since I've posted here (last question I asked was about scrolling a 2D background) and now I'm back with another 2D question. Is there a simple way to flip a sprite horizontally and vertically I started to just make new textures for each of the positions, but then I thought somebody has to know how to do this the right way for 2D games. From what I'm gathering, typically you do some kind of World transformations to flip y ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sound Card - December CTP

  I've been trying to get my sound card working on the December CTP, but I can seem to do it. It installed it automatically but that wasn't working.

Any ideas What is the sound card   have you tried enabling automatic upates to see if one gets offered t ...Show All

• SQL Server default parameter values not updated

  For testing purposes, I had placed default values in my report parameters. I deployed the whole suite of reports once and tested them. Then I eliminated the default parameters and redeployed, but the server doesn't pick up the changes. Other changes are updated fine, but for some reason it's hanging on to my default parameter values Why Is there a way around this Using RS 2000 Beta 2, btw. Perhaps deleting the reports and recreating them ...Show All

  Folks, I am trying to use .NET 2005 Beta 2 to write an application targeted to a PPC2003 device.  I want to use RDA to Push and Pull data from a Sql Server 2003 database.

• Visual C++ Getting started with a plain c++ program!!

  How do I just open and compile normal c program, without it being a "win32 console application" or any other fancy-shmancy stuff File->New->Project A window will spawn. Under the C++ header select "Win32", in the right pane select "Win32 Console Application." Give it a name and hit "OK." Hit Next.

• Visual C++ Knee deep in warnings and errors.

  Hi Does anyone know if you can force the compiler to split warning and error messages between two different tabs. I often find that on some projects when there are many warnings/errors and the two are mixed, it can be a pain trying to scroll through so you can fix the errors first. If this is not possible, I think it might be a nice little tweak for a future release. Thanks. MNiM In Visual Studio 2005 you can p ...Show All

• Windows Forms Forms Design View

  I have only just started 'messing about' with Visual Basic 2005 Express and I'm hoping this is just a dumb new starter error! I created a project following one of the user guides in the help area. It was a form with a text box and a button, nothing fancy. However, I am unable to now view the form in design view to resize it, move the button, etc. According to help, I should be able to double-click on the form name in the solution explorer but ...Show All

• Smart Device Development unresolved extern when using LPCWSTR

  I am porting a set of projects from evc4 to VS 2005 One of the projects is a DLL and the other one uses the dll.

• Visual C# Access vs c# as frontend

  We are looking at a new business application. the application will deal with hr, QA, sales, payroll, inventory, etc. One sales consultant came to us and stated that using sql server 2005 as the backend and microsoft access as the frontend is a good decision. I really do not think it is a good idea. I would rather see something in c# that ties to sql server. dont get me wrong I love access but I think it has it place and for an application ...Show All
