• Visual J# Reference to vjslib.dll fails after RTM Framework 2.0 installation

  After installing Framework 2.0 from MSDN subscriptions my previously working reference to a J# assembly fails with 'Could not load file or assembly 'vjslib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.' The assembly is COM interfaced, strong typed and is being called from an ASP page. This also occurred when using an early beta of 2.0 and was reported, but assumed it would be fixed by RTM. The site is using 1.1.4322 As previously stated, this same assembly ran fine before 2.0 was installed. after installation of R ...Show All

  If you will, list or explain the nature, language rules, and-or syntax of symbols used in C++ code. ...fine yet, I find your refusal to directly answer extremely irritating (I would prefer you answer directly, and then, if you will to do so, list any references as additional references, rather than implying whatever presumption you might; or don't reply at all, exceptions being when such refrences as you might give link directly to the answer or are described pertaining to such) but, yes, I found an answer for the "identifier name" question, via search engine ...Show All

• Visual Basic image backcolor (VB.NET 2005)

  I intend to draw a picture and save to a file. However the backcolor of the image is black (although the backcolor of the pictureBox is white). I want a white backcolor. Does anyone know how The code is: Dim bm As Image = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height) bm.Save( "c:\a.bmp" , System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif) Thanks. I like VB too! I'm not an expert on graphics. I've had a little experience in this area. Here's what I've learned. Very often if you don't parametrically sample the contents of an image and just move the sample into a container, there may be losses of image qualit ...Show All

• Visual C# Emulating Multiple Inheritance

  I often miss the MI from C++, but I have a suggestion of how to emulate it in C#, given the following: interface IFoo { void FooIt(); } class Foo : IFoo { public void FooIt() { Console.WriteLine("Foo-ing!"); } } interface IBar { void BarIt(); } class Bar : IBar { public void BarIt() { Console.WriteLine("Bar-ing!"); } } class BaseClass { // More BaseClass methods here. } One could use a new construct: class Baz : BaseClass, Foo as IFoo, Bar as IBar { // More Baz methods here. } And that would be the same as writing the following forwarding methods: class Baz : BaseClass, IFo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LensEffectPanel causes PresentationFontCache to bog down

  I've written a WrapPanel that does a lens effect on the controls as you move the mouse over. You can see it in action here: http://150.101.100.238/~john/LensUniformWrapPanelTester/Swordfish.WinFX.LensTesterWeb.xbap and download the source here: http://150.101.100.238/~john/LensUniformWrapPanelTester/Swordfish.WinFX.LensTesterWeb.zip I have the problem that when running it in debug over and over it gets slower and slower. I've traced the problem down to PresentationFontCache.exe, and if I kill this process before running again my app returns to full speed. I'm wondering what I can do to avoid this problem.

• SQL Server How to implement split and merge?

  I need to implement following flow: [Source] - > [Split] -  [IF TRUE] -> [DO SOMETHING] - [OUTPUT TO C] -  [IF FALSE] -> [DO SOMETHING ELSE] - [OUTPUT TO C] The issue is to come back to the same destination after conditional split. In other words, is there something opposite to "Multicast" I looked at Union and Merge - but it looks like it's not for this kind of things. Thanks. That sounds like a UnionAll to me...Why do you think UnionAll is not for this kind of thing  Do the two output (true output and the false output) downstr ...Show All
