• Windows Forms DGVComboBoxColumn gives ThreadStateException

  I'm having a problem when selecting cells in a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn.  Each time a cell is selected I see the following error: "DataGridView Default Error Dialog: System.Threading.ThreadStateException: Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made.  Ensure that you Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it. ..." Firstly, I don't use any Main() methods in my application.  I did try adding one with the suggested attribute, but it had no affect.  Does anyone know what this means Thanks, Nate Another note: After clicking OK for th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual C# 2005 Express Edition large download size 480 MB for 56k modem

  Can I order CDs from Microsoft to install these Express Editions for a nominal fee ($ 10.00) I can't find this on the web site asp.net.   Is there an issue with using the bootstrapper to install Visual C# Express If so, we want to hear about it. With the minimum options installed, you can get up and running with C# Express by only downloading 50MBs. To answer the question on why we didn't offer Express CDs, the reason is because of the lack of customer demand. When customers went to order CDs at Beta 1, rather then pick the Express Editions, they picked full Visual Studio. We say very small numbers of orders for the Express CDs ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sparse Matrix-vector multiplication on GPU using DirectX 9

  I want to implement Sparse Matrix-vector multiplication on GPU. I have a matrix where each component is of the form struct cell {     int value;     int row;     int col; } I store the row and column with the value because I rearrange the matrix into the Compressed Row (CRS) sparse matrix storage format. Can I pass the matrix to the GPU as a texture that stores the above values. Can I pass the vector as another texture and use the values stored in the matrix texture to determine which values from the vector texture to use to do the multiplication. How do I use DirectX to populate the matrix t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VS2003 Add Method / Property / Field dialogs not in VS2005 Express?

  Using VS2003 C# it is easy to add methods, properties, fields etc to an existing class, without having to remember all the possible options and type them in.  I cannot find any way of doing this in the VS2005 Express (the closest I could find was the code snippet for an attribute, but it is sooo complex to choose what I want).  Has this (useful) facility been thrown away The Express Editions do not contain this feature (Class Designer) on purpose as it's something you get when you buy the Standard Edition or better.  See this for a feature comparison: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vs ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to unload / load a project

  Hi, I need to load a project that is in the solution but is unloaded. I could not find a way to do that. Regards, Gaston Hi Gaston, I was able to do this with the DTE automation model using the following. At first glance I didn't see a way to query if the project is in a loaded or unloaded state. I'll ask Craig on Monday, and see if there are any alternatives to the DTE method below.

• SQL Server Fixed width output problem

  I'm sending the results of an SSIS data flow to an fixed-width flat file output, but instead of getting separate rows of data, like so: row1data... row2data... row3data... etc... I get: row1data...row2data...row3data...etc... Is there some setting I'm missing in either the flat file output or the file connection to turn this on The fixed width format does not include the row delimiters. You can use the Ragged right format if your last column always has a fixed format or you do not care for it to be fixed. If you do have a requirement for the fixed length of the last column (like you always ...Show All

• SQL Server Trigger question

  I would like to know how many records there are in the INSERTED & DELETED tables at once when a trigger fires. I'm looking at a trigger that checks for COUNT(*) in both tables (INSERTED & DELETED) and will perform a different T-SQL statements base on COUNT(*) being 1 or greater than 1. I always thought that triggers fired for every record in a INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE transaction. If so, there should not be more than one record in neither table (INSERTED & DELETED). his saleyoun, Welcome to the forum!!! The inserted and deleted tables refer only to row that was currently inserted/update/deleted. ...Show All
