• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SLOW motion when animating 56 and more ellipses...

  in my WPF prog i create 56 ellipses [no full opacity, each on its own canvas] on the fly [out of the resources of a grid] add a storyboard to each ellipse, add the storyboard then to a main storyboard and place them into a 8 x 7 Grid which occupies the whole window size [the window has a linear gradient as a background]. When i then kick off my storyboard the animations come to life BUT the whole thing lags as hell! No, don't have to make so much buzz but the cpu usage cranks up to 100% while the animations are going and during a animation pause the usage hardly comes down to a more moderate level. My opinion ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Documentation Error?!?

  Hello I wanted to use the timeout functionality on a tcpclient/netstream (Visual C# .net cf 2.0) The documentation says its always supported, but in fact, this is not true, because on a PocketPC2003 SE I get an "NotSupported" exception I tested also CanTimeout, and it returns zero (this is ok) But the documentation says: Property Value true in all cases. see: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.networkstream.cantimeout.aspx Somebody have another solution to implement timeouts Its not such a big problem right now for me, because I use a Workerthread for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generate value of a field in a WorkItem

  Hi all, I have a question on how I can generate the value of a field in a workitem. This value should contains a number or id to reference the project, the creation date of the project and some another indications. The value of the field must be filled in when creating a new WorkItem with for example "AB[Project Number][Date in own format]01ZZ". This value is then used to reference the workitem in our administration. We use this number already in a internally developed solution to create and track items, so this could make the migration from the internally developed solution to Team Foundation Server a lot easier. Users do not have to swit ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Agent and DTExec

  Does SQLAgent use DTExec to execute packages We've run into a situation where a custom written WMI script (to run a remote process) runs fine under the Execute Package Util, but just hangs upon completion of the wmi remote call when executed as a SQLJob! I think to sum things up: when you execute a SQLAgent job, the WMI monitoring doesn't work - It will never call the ProcessEnd function. Anyone have any ideas or workarounds (I.E. instead of monitoring, making a query every xxx seconds to see if PID has been deleted) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is it possible to use the PhotoListView outside of this application?

  I'd like to be able to use the PhotoListView in another application, but so far I haven't had much luck in trying to decouple it from FotoVision. I don't know if it's an artifact of VB.Net or just the way the application was architected, but the best way to describe the relationship between PhotoListView and the rest of the application is high&nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server Dataset Filtering Not Working

  I am trying to filter data at the dataset level after it is returned. However, the filters tab on in the Dataset window does not appear to work correctly. I have tried the following expressions: Expression Operator Value =(Fields!IdLog.Value = Parameters!Id_Log.Value) = =True =Fields!IdLog.Value = =Parameters!Id_Log.Value When I rerun my dataset query, the entire dataset is returned, instead of the filtered dataset. This same behavior occurs if I try to run the report itself. I do not understand why the filtering does not occur. Any help would be gr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Pass int array to the pixel shader

  I want to pass an int array to the pixel shader.  I used SetIntArray(name, val)..the problem is that in the shader I do not know the exact size of the array, therefore in declaring it i am trying to use an int *.  It seems as if the compiler does not like this. Is is it possible to use pointers in the shader   If not how can I pass a variable length array to the shader can someone give me an example of the usage of this function unfortunately i'm having the same problem. i created a texture that is supposed to be used as an render target: ...

• .NET Development filesystem.getfiles

Thnx a lot; In your current code you are calling the GetFiles() method multiple times, twice per itteration of the loop in fact, each time it is going out and getting the list of files… ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cell.Range catches more than it's supposed to?

  Hi! I have a Word document with a table on it. The table consists of two rows and three columns. The first row contains headers and the second row contains bookmarks. There is one bookmark per cell but in the final application there can be zero or more bookmarks per cell. What i'm trying to do is to get a hold of the bookmark(s) in one cell. I iterate through the cells like this (C#): foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Cell cell in searchRange.Tables[1].Rows[2].Cells) { cell.Range.Bookmarks.Count } If I then ask the cell how many bookmarks it contains, like above it tells me 3 If I iterate through cell.Rang ...Show All

• Visual Basic I don't know how to describe this problem

  I have a tabcontrol that has tabs added to it when a menu item is clicked. Each of these tabs has their own set of controls. Each tab allows a file to be opened (via FileOpenDialog). When a file is opened, some of it's data is inserted into certain controls on the tab. Each tab has a button that is used to close the tab (using the Remove method). When the tab is closed and re-opened, the file is still loaded and the file's data is still present in it's respective controls. It might be useful to know that the file is stored as a byte array. (stored in b ) What I want is when I close a tab, then I re-open it, it is displayed as if no fi ...Show All
