• Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to upgrade vb4.0 apps to vb2005?

  Hi all, I have just installed VB 2005 express after not having used VB for some years. I have a number of older projects that I would like to update, preferably without rebuilding from scratch. Is it possible to do this in VB 2005 from VB4.0 project files etc The Upgrade Wizard was designed for Visual Basic 6.0 applications so I don't think you will have much luck with 4.0. You can upgrade code snippets but not the project as a whole. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server to SDF

  This was posted on another forum, no one there seemed to know the answer: What I want to do: Export data from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Mobile SDF on the desktop. One would think to use the Export from SQL Server 2005, but no provider seems to exist when I tried this. Euan Garden pointed me to SSIS. I installed this, and now get: First of all, In the VS2005 Server Explorer Data Connections, I am able to create an SQL Mobile connection, and mess around with the SDF, so at least something works. However in SSIS, I add a Sql Server Mobile Destination Data Flow block, and get "System.IO.Filenotfoundexception Could not load file or assembly 'Mi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Game Programming Languages

  Good afternoon experts, I've been working in the MSDE .NET platform for quite a number of years on a business level. I am familiar with C++, C#, and VB .NET. Since I have been diving a little deeper into game programming with DirectX, using Tom Miller's book in C#, supplemented by Zman's code changes, I have been working primarily with managed C#. I have noticed that many AAA game studios use C++ for thier programming. Before I head into putting my thoughts into code, and developing my engine, My question is this; What are the advantages / disadvantages of using C++ to C# in game programming Is there any definitive reason to choose one ...Show All

• Visual C++ DLL Run-time problem

  I seem to be having a problem at runtime with unwanted DLL symbol imports. This seems to only happen with DirectX applications and only during debug when the program is run from the editor. I have Trend-Micro's PC-Cillin installed on my computer, and every time I move the mouse over a DirectX application, this DLL from the PC-Cillin software keeps trying to import its symbols into my applications. This is grossly slowing down my applications. I have also tried disabling the PC-Cillin software but without results. Is there a project setting or an editor setting that will keep this from happening in the future This happens like I said only wi ...Show All

• Visual C# SaveFile

  Ok. Can anyone tell me how to save a file as a folder format There is to my knowledge no mechanism available to download a full folder from HTTP. What you will need to do is -somehow- obtain a directory listing from the remote folder (which will be the trickiest part as this depends on whether the web server will give you this info) and then locally create the folder, and download file by file...

  Hiii, I want to list the prices of some products available on the internet everytime i open a web page in my application.. ex: I want to list all the printers available and their prices from internet in a datagrid on my page. Is it possible if so how.... Sachin, it is possible to extract prices of the products you are interested in from internet. You will have to write the control logic that will visit various different wepages and gather pricing information for the products you are interested in. Since different sites have different policies about usage of their data as well as different ways of extracting such data. Pl ...Show All
