• Smart Device Development Compact Framework 2.0 & Windows Mobile 5.0 NotSupportedException

  I have recently starting developing with VS2005, Windows Mobile 5.0 and the CF 2.0. I have noticed that recently I am receiving a NotSupportedException whilst trying to change the text of a textbox from a background thread. I used to get a detailed exception telling me not to update the textbox from a background thread. The only difference these days is that I am developing for Windows Mobile. Is there something I am doing wrong My App seems to hang when debugging instead of giving me a proper exception. I hope I have explained this well enough. Thanks Yes, you have explained it well and thi ...Show All

• Visual C# How to know because of which control event postback happens?

  Hi Everybody, I want to know how to know because of which control event postback happends How can I know............................. e.g. One Button Name btnAdd is there and its postback property is true. When I click on that button postback happens and pageload will get called,now I want to get that button's id in pageload function....... First of all, you can't. Event handlers fire AFTER page load, and before page prerender. You probably need to move some code from the load event to the prerender event. However, asp.net questions are off topic here. If that doesn't solve your question, or if you have more, you sho ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. [GDI+] ColorMatrixEffect

  I am not sure where a GDI+ question is supposed to be posted, so feel free to move it if it should be somewhere else. But I read up on ColorMatrixEffect, and it says it is suppsed to do "Affine Transformations". http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/GDIPlus/GDIPlusreference/classes/colormatrixeffect.asp Does that mean translating 3D points, or are they talking about some translation of colors An other thing. Isn't it possible to use this function in C#, only C++ Wow, that was seriously good looking. As he have done, we have also turned to some unsafe code. Not too much ...Show All

• Visual C++ using a textbox from a 2nd Windows form

  I've got a Windows Forms .NEt application that uses 2 forms. I've got Form2 which is created from Form1 : (inside a Form1 button click event handler) : namespace::Form2 *myForm2 = new namespace::Form2; myForm2->Show(); This Form2 works well, & I now have the need to write text to it's textBox1.

• Visual Studio Reference to UserControl with CreateToolWindow2

  Does any one know how to get a reference to the Hosted UserControl when creating a tool window   If not is there a way to pass the DTE2 object used to create the tool window to the Hosted UserControl Problem Solved.  My user control was in a different assembly.  When I moved it into the same assembly as the Addin it worked.  I am not sure why it doesn't work the other way since I had referenced the assembly with the user control in it.  Since I have no particular need for a seperate assembly for the user control your solution works fine.

• SQL Server Starting job on remote server

  I've read that you can run a job on another server as long as you have a link server from the source to the destination server. I've search for hours online and read nearly everything in SQL Server Books Online pertaining to the sp_start_job function without success. I can't find one example on how to accomplish this. I want to run a job called Job1 on Server1 from Server2 with a link server on Server2 to Server1 called ServerConn. The link server works fine grabbing data from Server1; so I know the link server works. I am having problems on the server part of the sp_start_job function. use msdb exec sp_start_job @job_name = ' ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista taskbar tooltips - please fix!

  In Windows XP, if you put the taskbar at the top of your screen, as I do, the taskbar button tooltips appear on the taskbar and obscure the buttons - very annoying! Of course, if the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen you don't have this problem, the tooltips appear above the bar, no matter where the exact position of the pointer is. The fix is to always display the tooltip below the taskbar if the bar is at the top of the screen. I like the feel of Windows XP, and I'll probably like Windows Vista too, but this minor point about taskbar tooltips is actually quite important because it affects my experience constantly. Thank you! ...Show All
