• Smart Device Development infrared!

  Hi. I want to be able to send data (hex codes or whatever) using the infrared ports. I have imported the System.Net.Irda reference and able to access the IR classes. However, I do not wish to connect to a device but rather send data. The device I am sending data to will be a dumb device really, just as a "reciever"... this can be a remote control recieving box or a TV IR reciever for example. IS it possible to do this how I cannot seem to find a way in the .NET classes as it seems you have to connect to the destination then write data to the stream. Thanks! You will not be able to communicate with a TV IR receiver through your standard ...Show All

• Windows Forms Question about creating a control from scratch

  I've been writing a menu control from scratch since I want to learn everything I can about the drawing namespaces.  Well I've got a pretty nice menu control, but I've hit a snag now that I've to the actual menu items.  The menu's will display fine, but since the menu items draw outside of the controls bounds all I see is just the top line of the menu item rectangle.  I tried to make the menu items their own control, but I can't seem to get the Paint event to fire correctly and display the menu items.  Has anyone else attempted to do a control like this and if so how did you solve this problem Thanks in advance, Brandon ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can I change the warmup time with loadtest plug in?

  Hi Guys,   It looks like the warmup time property is readonly.  I need to reboot my servers before running my tests.  But not always.  .  So, when I include the load test plug in that reboots my servers, I want to add warm up time to the load test so as not to incorectly impact my test results and to not have some document somewhere that noone will read saying they need to add warm up time when using this plug in. Otherwise, if i can't set it, I will raise an exception if the warm up time isn't long enough.   Drooling over your response.  Thanks, Dan ( no not thank me, thank you!) H ...Show All

• Visual Studio Object datasources vanish from rdlc data sources in web project

  Anyone having issues with their object datasources appearing and vanishing from the datasource browser I create an object for binding as a datasource in my App_Code folder, compile my web project and it appears in the datasources in the report designer.  Then I will make an aspx, setup a reportviewer control for my new report, go back to the rdlc and the object datasource sometimes just vanishes. I refresh, no luck. The only solution I found is to draft the rdlc to the App_Code folder where my class is, then refresh datasources and it finds it.  Then if I move it away, they vanish again.

• Windows Forms Cross Thread, Cross Class, GUI Updating

  Hello I have been looking at cross thread GUI examples and delegate examples at length, but there is one design issue I havent found an answer to yet. Let me give an example of my problem.

BusCls contains a function with a lengthy process busObject.LongProcess(), and frmCls is used to kick this off and show the progress...naturally I want to create a thread here. Now lets say that when a button on the form is clicked, a thread is created, and an entry method is called which declares and instanciates busObject, then called busObject.LongProcess( ...Show All
