• Windows Forms XP themes and Label controls

• Windows Forms Moving controls doesn't work after migrating to VS2005

  Hello, I am experiencing strange problem with move controls in VS 2005 Designer. I have a 2003 project which uses .NET 1.1 designer functionality: DocumentDesigner derived form designer, ControlDesigner derived control designers and custom implemented services. The solution worked perfectly when compiled in VS 2003. As I converted it to VS 2005 I had no problems compiling, and dialog editor works in most parts (including some more esoteric features, such as custom drawn connectors between controls on a surface). However, a couple of standard features don’t function anymore, most notably drag and drop moving of controls ...Show All

• Windows Forms Keyboard shortcut for marking the whole text of a textbox?

  Hello! Isn't there a keyboard shortcut for marking the whole text of a textbox I thought it was CTRL-A, but it seems it's not. Best regards, Henrik Dahl Yes, I thought of that, but it also does not work. I think, that it's rather peculiar that cut, copy and paste are supported by keyboard shortcuts and select all the text by CTRL-A is not. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading a Vertexbuffer from a Mesh

  This has been driving me nuts.  It's so simple... but not working.  I have written to vertex buffers before, no problem.  But, for some reason, I can't read an existing one from a mesh. Keep in mind, I have recently upgraded to the newest version of Managed DirectX. Perhaps something has changed   I would like to dump vertex buffer into an array so I can get the locations of all the vertices.  (Eventually, I plan on making collision detection with these vertices).  I have tried loading a mesh, locking the vertex buffer (using the Mesh.LockVertexBuffer function) and trying to put it into an array.&nb ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Connecting a SampleGrabber to a filter graph.

  I'm manually creating a filter graph that accepts any video input source and then i grab the frames to a DirectX teture for rendering in a 3D environment. The code i wrote origianlly was written with the DirectX 9.0 (original) release and i had no problems accepting an XVid (or DivX) video file and connecting a sample grabber directly to the output of the xvid decompressor. I recently upgraded to the December 2005 release and continued development of this system after about a year's break. The problem is .. i can no longer connect a sample grabber to the XVid decoder output. It tells me the 2 pins aren't compatible. Yet they always us ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I format a value from the DateTimePicker for Update to SQL2000 using VS2005 VB.Net?

  I get the following error message: "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value." I found that Format works (my system date format is dd/MM/yyyy): Format( ReturnDate.Value, "yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss" ) Using this in the SQL Update statement works for me.

• Visual Studio Express Editions binding acces database to button

  Hi, I'm building a program that has a DataGridView that is bound to an acces database. Now I also have a form where the user has to fill in textboxes, and when the user presses the "submit" button on the form, it creates a new row in the database with the text from the textboxes on my form. But how do I realise this, because I don't know how to add those items, or edit! Thanks, Tom. hi, i don't know what do you trying to do i guess it will be better if you post part of your code you can know by counting the rows in the table b4 and after inserting and to compare them you will know, or even there is getchanges method ...Show All

• .NET Development IIS programmatic access and Directory Service Client

  Is it safe to install this CSclient and if so where can I find the installer download for XP Pro I'm programming in C# and I read that because of this I must use the System.DirectoryServices namespace to access IIS. I'm trying to figure out how to programmatically access IIS applications and I've come across the MS article in the IIS SDK on " Using System.DirectoryServices to Configure IIS ". It says I will need to install the DSClient as I'm using Win XP Pro for development (I will be using MS Windows Server 2003 on deployment). If there is an alternative way to access from C# then please advise. Thanks/ I have found ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Deploy Solution

  I've been successfully deploying an SSAS 2005 solution to production and have today encountered a strange deployment error: Error 26 Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the (Bookings measure group, from the file, '\\ \F:\MSSQL\OLAP\Data\....det.xml'. (The path in the above error message has been truncated). My production data source server name has not changed although this appears to be a server connectivity issue: I would imagine the " " in the above error message should be the correct server name.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling

  Hi, I recently downloaded the Visual Studio Express Edition, and I am unable to compile the file to run it, or at least I do not know how to use the file once created. I was wondering how I would test out a program/file once it is debugged. Thanks everyone for the help! Don't worry that new 'F lock' key even caught me out. When I got my new machine at home (with of course a new keyboard) I spent ages trying to workout why F5 caused the File Open dialog to appear instead of starting the debugger - I even started to suspect a wiring problem in the keyboard! ...Show All

• SQL Server Shifting past the interim SQL2K

  Hi all, I've been working hard to drag my family and the family business into the modern life, took me long enough to get then off a 'coal-powered' Siemens Nixdorf miniframe. Anyway, they went for a package system, on a PC ntwork. Now I've been gradually migrating them again, teasing them (as sometimes you do) with the benefits that could be supplied by my software, written on an SQL 2k back-end. So anyway, we now have a system that ties into FoxPro as its original system (the bought package), plus SQL 2K..... I'm now upgrading to SQL 2005, and Express for starters.... Is it going to be possible to easily to run queries against both ...Show All
