• Visual Basic Automatic inherits

  Am not so sure that I really understand what exactly happened here But I will appreciate any help. My project contain one MDI Parent(menu), five forms, and one dialog. The aim is pretty obvious, to host all the forms in the MDI. For each form I have a button, that do the following: Private Sub Note1ToolStripMenuItem_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Note1ToolStripMenuItem.Cli ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Saving individual parts of a List View Item

  Hi, I currently have some code which will check through list view items to identify if a string matches any of the items. If there is a match, the item is deleted, the intQty incremented and the item re-added to the list. This process works okay when the quantity is from one to two however I want it to find the quantity part of the item, save it and then increment it so if the product quantity is currently 5 and another one is added, it will s ...Show All

• .NET Development Values of sizeof concerning struct (no optimization?)

  I have been playing a bit with the sizeof operator, and the results that I get seems not too good. For example, let me consider struct Zero { }   an empty structure. With .Net 2.0, I get sizeof(Zero) equal to one. I know that such case is borderline, but I would like to understand why it's not zero (I do not see why a zero-length LValue should be a problem), Also, let me consider again struct SomeBits { bool a; bool b; }   ...Show All

• Visual C# Math.Round issue

  I am trying to do some simple rounding with a precision of 1. For some reason, the only way I found that I was able to do this, is by using the following lines: double temp = tbJointServo.Value / 10.0; string tempS = temp.ToString(".#"); temp = Convert.ToDouble(tempS); txtJointServo.Text = tempS; Where "tbJointServo" has a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 3600. Is there any better way to accomp ...Show All

• Visual C++ "MFC80D.DLL was not found" Error?

  I have an project that was originally developed as a C++ 7.1 native application.  I converted it to VC++ 8 and kept it a native application and it worked fine.  This project has always made use of MFC as a statically linked library. I now want to make use of the CLR.  The first step in doing this is to change the use of MFC to shared dll.  When I do this (with no other changes) my application gets the "MFC80D.DLL was not f ...Show All

• Visual C# How to find a System Tray Process

  Hi, I'm trying to retrieve a process from the System Tray programmatically. My program starts the process and then saves the Process object. Later, the program tries to locate the process and bring it to the front (in focus). For all processes that do not reside in the system tray, I can do this with no problems. When I call AppActivate on a process that is in the SystemTray, the ArgumentException is raised. Does anyone know how to ret ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Yet Another Buffer Question

  Well I have another question about buffers i was thinking about setting up a global vertex buffer for my terrain grids, the only thing is they are set up in quadtrees so basically there are vertexbuffers setup for each quadtree leaf. So that is alot of vertexbuffers which in my understanding means bad. So i was wondering how many vertices can i put into a single buffer And if setting up a buffer for a whole gird is a good idea. Vertex buffe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ID3DXFont and DT_WORDBREAK

  Hi, DrawText() in DX9 does not work the same way as DrawText() in GDI does when used with the DT_WORDBREAK flag. Punctuation marks in DX9 are wrapped incorrectly: This is a small text . The full stop is wrapped onto the new line. Parenthesis are also wrapped although there is no whitespace between the parenthesis and the preceding word: This is another (bla bla ) text. This behaviour can be seen in the Text3D sample of the SDK when the window is ...Show All

• Visual Basic custom enumerator, com interop, and vb6 client

  Context: I have a legacy VB6 application that uses DAO and Jet. The owner of the company does not want to change any of the DAO code as we move into VB.Net, so I've been working on a set of VB wrappers to present an interface that looks just like DAO. The advantage to this is that we can subsequently replace the underlying DAO code in the wrappers with ADO.Net to use SQL Server in the future. The design: I have a set of abstract classes ...Show All
