The sbr paths can be set in Project Properties -> C/C++ -> Browse Information -> Browse File (/FR /Fr option ). The bsc path can be set in Project Proper ...Show All

• Windows Forms UserControl, child control, and scrolling

  Greetings, I have a custom user control.  Because I have a complex hierarchy of child object that can be drawn to the screen (potentially thousands of objects) I opted not to derive them all from Control/UserControl for various reasons.  Instead, they all derive from a custom class that has no base class (except object).

• Visual Basic help - how to get different values from same table

  Dear Friends, I have 2 tables --> User and Car. Both have unique ids and each user has 2 cars. for example, Jim has Ford and Honda Jill has Toyota and Subara Jack has Toyota and Honda John has Ford and Ford So I am storing the 2 car ids in the user table. I am not creating any bridge table. So in the report I want the user and their car. But I get the following report on the above data: Jim -- Ford Jill -- Toyota Jack -- Toyota John -- Ford -- Ford Notice, that the first 3 records just display first car. The forth record displays both cars. In the crystal report, I did like this in the "SQL Expression Fields" to get the name of first car ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. firstperson camera lights

  if I set the lights like this device.Lights[0].Direction = camera.LookAtPoint; device.Lights[0].Position = camera.EyeLocation; this should set the lights to where ever the camera is and looking right also is there a good way to slow down the mouse movment im using the sampleframework and C# The Light.Direction member is a direction, not a location. You would instead want to do something like: device.Lights[0].Direction = camera.LookAtPoint - camera.EyeLocation Note that only lights of type LightType.Spot use both the direction and position properties.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Public Variables in C#

  Hi there, I am just starting to migrate over to C# from Visual Basic 6.0. I am having trouble in declaring Puclic Variables which are to be accessed from any where in the application. The application is a database application and uses several forms and modules. In VB6.0 we do it by declaring Public Variables in a Module.Bas in the (General) section and that's it. Each of the public variables are then accessible from any where in the application. I would appreciate if one of you gurus can tell me how to do it in Visual C# Express. Thanks a lot and regards. itguru65 Use static properties/fields: internal &nb ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using PocketPC serial port

  Can anyone give me some advice about using serial ports in VS2005 beta 2 on a pocket_pc. At first glance it seems easy, just declare an object as System.IO.Ports.SerialPort with events and process the datareceived event. Simple enough. However, putting this code in a class and tring to generate an event based on the DataReveived event results in   "An unhandled exception of type ' System.NotSupportedException occured in System.Drawing.dll" the Additional Information states "Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a seperate thread". This really has me confused since when you look at the code included, I am not ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deployment problems

  I am distributing a free medical billing application using ClickOnce. When it deploys it is a thing of beauty, but currently about 75% of attempted deployments fail. I do have the WinFX runtime in the deployment string but people still run into problems (usually their OS not having all necessary updates). Can I include (and would you recommend) MS updates in the deployment string Hmm... I'm not exactly sure what you are describing. The Bootstrapper (Pre Requisites dialog) is the vehicle for assuring the required pre-requisites are on the machine. If people aren't using that, then that could explain the failures. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System B3R upgrade to RC issues

  ok, since it looks like I'm in for a long day I figure I'll just make a general post for all the issues I run into. The one I'm hitting now is in the upgrade document it says to install SQL Server update KB914595 - that its available on the web and on the install media. There is no KB914595 on the install media - only KB912838 and KB913393. Nor is it available at the link given in the document - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ linkid=62015 I'm assuming the install will work without this fix since noone else seems to be complaining about not having it... Thanks for the detailed (and colorful) feedback. We're going to make seve ...Show All
