• Visual C# C# Insert Statment

  I am using an  insert statement to add a record to the database,but I have a problem with System.DateTime.Now it will not allow me to use this. I get an error saying sytnax in Insert Statement. Is there any special characters you have to use . I try the suff other people posted but that does not fix the problem. It sounds like your difficulty is with database interaction, not the C# language specifically. You should try the .NET Framework Data Access and Storage forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=45 -Tom Meschter Software Dev, Visual C# IDE ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How to create a geo-fence

  The PolyLine feature is a great feature in V3. I can now create a polygon for my geo-fence. However, I don't know how to figure out whether a new LatLong is within my previously defined polygon. Can somebody help Thanks. I haven't had the need to do it myself yet, but the only ways I could think to do it would be by some sort of mathematical calculation, or make use of some other sort of software which does. MAYBE you can see if VML, which is what VE uses to draw the polylines can be utilized, but I don't know how if that even is possible. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Transparent textures cause background objects not to be rendered

  How can I get this fixed Please take a look at my screenshot . My first idea is to turn off z-buffering and sort the meshes by hand. However I would like to avoid this. Isn't it simply possible to set a render state (which can be used when rendering transparent textures) that will switch the eliminating of background polygons off Thanks in advance, SecurityException Ok, thank you for that information. I guess I will stay with alpha testing then. ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework - hotfix. Can I discard the original Framework?

  I don't know where else to post this, but I just received an automated update hotfix for my .Net Framework that is 1,114 megs...this is in addition to the original .Net Framework that is also 1,114 megs. That's taking up too much of my disk space. I'd like to remove one of them if I can, but I don't know anything about the pros and the cons. Can I just remove the original and use the hotfix in it's place Thanks, Paul The update was pushed to you via Windows Update because it was rated as an Important security update.  In general you don't want to disable accepting updates since it will leave your system vulnerable to attacks ...Show All

• Visual C++ Splitting integers using Modulus and division

  I am new to C++.NET. I am also taking refresher courses in math, so if the solution to this seems obvious, i am sorry. The project in my book: Console Program. Take any 5 digit integer (for the  this example, 45339), split the characters and output them with a space between. 45339 out puts to: 4 5 3 3 9 I know data types, how to get the input and the like, but it wants me to use the modulus and division operators to "pick off" each digit and display it with spaces between each character. I know how to concac and get the spaces, but the math using the mod and div escapes me. I know i am over thinking this but I am burnt out. This is a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Missing Icons and Bad Links in MSDN

  Hello. I'm having trouble with my installation of MSDN. Some of the little icons that should appear next to some of the links don't show up, and many of the links don't work. When the links don't work, I get a JScript error "Object does not support this property or method."

• .NET Development Help on using the Configuration Application Block

  I am using the Configuration Application block in a WinForm application to save some configuration information in a config file (EditorSettings.config). I use the ConfigurationManager.WriteConfiguration command to save the info. Saving the configuration information works fine, and I can even read the data back by using ConfigurationManager.GetConfiguration. After I close the application, I can locate the config file in the directory and verify that it has been updated appropriately. The problem occurs whenever I restart the application. Everytime I restart the application, and before any of my code runs, the config file ...Show All

• Visual Studio Using Datsets from SQL 2000 to populate Crystal Reports Reports

    Hi, I have installed Visual Studio (Pro) under Windows 2003 on our server. I have successfully set up a connection to a database on another server, and can populate the Data Sources with the tables and views from the database. This seems to work well, I can preview the data, set up new queries etc. However I cannot drag and drop the resulting data fields into the report form. It would appear that this is a trivial problem, perhaps something wrong with the settings etc, but I also noticed that the section headings in the report form are hashed out and difficult to see. Any ideas Many thanks Conor   ...Show All
