• .NET Development Problems authenticating on a foreign server

  Hello. I'm using HttpWebRequest to log a user on to a foreign server. They supply their own user name and password. I know that sounds like a huge security mistake, but bear with me. Basically I have to make a number of adapters for various web-based e-mail clients, such as Yahoo. Most of these aren't too bad, but I've hit a roadblock on sites like www.mailpuppy.com . The web site reports that my session ID is invalid, but when running a&nb ...Show All

• Visual C# Using SDKs in C#

  For SDKs that only have the header(H) and library(LIB) files, how do you add it to the solution. Unfortunately both are pretty worthless as far as C# is concerned as the .h file is likely in a different language (C or C++) and the lib file is a static file that must be linked into a another application or library... something that C# does not support. All is not lost though, you could build yourself an unman ...Show All

• SQL Server Wheres the data?

  Ok, this is driving me nuts. I create a SQL database and populate the fields. I can see the fields in the grid with the data, I tell it to update and it does, at least there is a delay while it does.  Me .AddressesBindingSource.EndEdit() Numrecords = Me .AddressesTableAdapter.Update( Me .MyFirstDatabaseDataSet.Addresses) The value of Numrecords is the correct number of new fields. But, if I exit the program and come back in, t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installation Problems

  I've just installed the DirectX SDK and am getting results not listed by other forums and people.  Previously, I used to program with DX8 and had no problems in setting up dependencies and references.  However, with the DX9 installation, it doesn't recognize any dependencies or references.  I've downloaded the latest update (June 2005 ed. of DX9SDK), and still have problems.  I'm running the .NET framework 1.1 and using C#, C ...Show All

• SQL Server Auto scripting SPs, perhaps concatenating text fields...

  Hi, I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method. I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done Or am I doing it all comle ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView & static background

  Hello, I'd like to draw a custom background for my DataGridView. So i derived a class from DataGridView and overwrote PaintBackground(...). Unfortunately the background gets also scrolled when the content gets scrolled. I'd like to draw a static background. Maybe you have some ideas. This should be used to change the background color of the rows. However I can't use RowsDefaultStyle/AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle because the background must not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Header Problems

  Hi, I was experimenting with DirectX and the PSDK, when suddenly when I attempted to compile the solution I recieved an error about the compiler complaining about the syntax of one of the PSDK files!! Is this a bug in my code or is there really an error in the PSDK libraries, which i find unlikely. Any ideas Thanks, Mike You probably forgot to include a header file. Shows us the error message a ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Designer in SQL 2005 Mgmt Studio a let-down?

  Greetings, all. Thanks for all of the great postings in this community. However, one question I have doesn't seem to have been addressed. In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, a user could right-click on a table, and choose Open Table>>Query. This option brings the user directly to a query designer very similar to the query designer available in SQL 2005 Management Studio. However, I have been frustrated by the following: - The Open Table ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling RaiseEvent over Reflection?

  Hi, I have a Event on my class and want to call RaiseEvent using Reflection. I don't want to use a workaround method which calls RaiseEvent for me ... I tried calling my EventInfo's GetRaiseMethod but it simply return nothing. How can I do this   Thanks TheGetRaiseMethod returns null for all events declared with the event keyword as explained in the MSDN help for the same. The documentation apparently is not as verbose as it shoul ...Show All
