• Visual Basic Problem with .Net 2 Framework install

  I have a application in development, that runs fine (as far as its completed) on my test machines ( 2 x winxp pro workstations, 1 x 2k3 server) I deployed it to a clients machine (XP Pro SP2) to test some site specific code and it pops an error message.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. a simple line

  New to directx, I don't need any textures or anything, but i need to make a simple wireframe model. And would like to know if there is an easy way to draw a 3d line just using 2 points as input(hopefully, as this is what im used to) { {x, y, z}, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(red, green, blue) } f means they are single precisions floats rather than the doubles that most languages default to. DirectX uses single precision for speed. Whilst the vector (x,y,z) can mean a line from (0,0,0) to (x,y,z) in this case it just means the point (x,y,z). So jacks code creates an array of 2 points and then draws a line between them. You ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express Security?

  We are releasing an application built on SQL Server Express in the next few months.  Our clients are mostly small companies with little technical knowledge, and they will be using our application on desktop computers where everyone likely logs in as the same user.  As such, my thinking is that we setup SQL Server Express as in SQL Server Authentication mode.  This way they could select an Administrator password upon first installation, and manage user names and passwords from within the application itself.  Any thoughts   Also, how would we install this scenario   We haven't been able to figure out how to custo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Using GDB as backend of Visual Studio instead of Microsoft debugger

  I have written an addin for Visual Studio. This addin allows user to use GCC (MinGw) as compiler. This part works well. Now I want to add the capability to debug generated binaries using GDB with Visual Studio as frontend(Actually I'm using Insight but it's not a really well integreted solution as I launch another application out of Visual Studio). I dont know how I can replace the Microsoft debugger by GDB. If anyone has an idea it would be great. Thanks I am interested in seeing such an addin...I normaly just use a makefile project to do this but having an integrated solution would be handy. ...Show All

• Visual C# Print Solution

  Is there a way to print an entire C# solution or do you have to select one file at a time and print Thanks Steve 1)  C# doesn't have optional parameters, only VB.NET does.  This is why you'll often see far more methods in a C# project than a VB.NET project. 2)  You are correct, you could not have 2 methods of the same name both with a String as a parameter.  Each method would need a different set of parameters. ...Show All

• SQL Server Default Values do not show in WinForms.ReportViewer parameters

  I have two multivalued comboboxes on my report. One cascades from the choice in the other. In IE or report preview the default values load and show on the form. In the reportviewer control the default value needs to be selected in one which then causes the default value to load in the related combobox. I was hoping to find some custom code for loading the in the report_load event but Custom Code is hard to come by. I just got the Osborne 2005 book and it has nothing in it about the internal custom code only how to reference code in dlls. I do not have either paramters to set to allow blanks or nulls so I would think it would force the ...Show All
