I have created a new blank project "hello", my default is VC++, and added x64 'platform', then removed Win32 from 'platform' and 'active solution platform' via configuration manager. I add a new item C++ file as "test.c" I typed in the famous hello worl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tell VS.NET to ignore certain code???

  Hi All, I have some code that sets the initial location and size of a form. It is supposed to only be run at run-time -- but VS.NET seems to pick up on this code (in the OnLoad event) and move the form in design time! (so it no longer starts in the top left corner of the designer). Is there any way to tell VS.NET to ignore ...Show All

• .NET Development File Size via FTP

  Is there a preferred way to obtain the size of a file stored on an FTP server using the 2.0 Framework The best I've come up with is to contact the FTP server via an FtpWebRequest object, with its .Method property set to W ebRequestMethods.Ftp. GetFileSize. This causes the size to be returned in the FtpWebResponse object's StatusDescription property.  But its preceded by the Status Code value, so I have to parse the StatusDescription to obtain the file size.  That's no big deal.  But oddly, the FtpWebResponse object has properties that return the parsed value of replies such as the file's date of last mod ...Show All

• Visual C# GDI form transparency problem

  I'm trying to draw a transparent form using GDI, by overiding the OnPaint and OnPaintBackground event handlers. This technique works well enough on the first draw,and it produces a nice result, however, on subsequent draws, it works less spectacularly. For some reason, the screen is never cleared, and when it redraws the new things are composited ontop the previous draws, making the transparent images darker and darker. Here is the contents of protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = null; Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Point point = new Point(400,400); backBuffer ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to do too much in a view... I think?

  Hello all, I have a table that contains a whole bunch of clinical statistics. There are some other fields I would like to add, but they are best created on the fly, so I thought I would do this with a view. I can create some of my dynamic fields (like BMI below), but when I try to use them again in the view it doesn't work. (ie, I get an error when I try and include the case statement bit). Does anyone know what I can do Kitty.
