• Visual Studio XMI and Design Patterns

  Hi, A model (Class Diagrams) is exported to XMI format. Now,in the class diagrams,each class is stereotyped to follow a design pattern say Observer Pattern (take 4 classes are participating in a single Observer Pattern). If there are 2 or 3 sets of classes (i.e. there will be 8 or 12 classes) which follow Observer Pattern within the same XMI file then how can we know which class is related to which other 3 classes (Say in set 1, class c1 is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. LockRect on a DXT1 surface with 1bit alpha

  Hi, Im just working on my terrain shadowing (not realtime) and want to consider the alpha-values of an objects texture. I want the object to cast a correct shadow and already managed to achive this for "normal" texture formats like A8R8G8B8 and A1R5G5B5. I lock the texture using lockrect for a rect of a single pixels-size. So this works alright: lpAlphaTex->LockRect( 0, &lckd_rect, &rect, D3DLOCK_READONLY); DWORD* pTBits = reint ...Show All

• .NET Development IStream.Read documentation

  The msdn documentation for IStream.Read says the following about the pv parameter: When this method returns, contains the data read from the stream. This parameter is passed uninitialized. What does uninitialized mean here As far as I can tell this method does not work as expected unless pv is a byte array with length equal to the cb argument. If I use the interface from C# it wont even compile if I leave pv uninitialized. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions C# Loop thru a Listbox

  Just started knocking around in C#. For the life of me (no pun intended)....I cannot convert this from VB: for i = 0 to List1.listcount - 1 MsgBox (List1.List(i)) next Believe me.....I have tried every logical possibility....this is pretty scary, from what I've read the syntax diffs between VB.Net/VB and C#....are not really that different. for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) MessageBox.Show(listbox1.

• Windows Forms How to get all the attributes of an HtmlElement?

  System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement.GetAttribute can be used to get value of an atribute by its name, How can I get the name of all attributes for an HTMLElement Thanks i guess that would be one way to look at it---of course, if your html is well formed, then you just load it in an xmlreader, there you have it...no shortcoming ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application Settings Upgrade

  From what I have seen, the application settings do not migrate from one version of the application to another. I have read about AppSettingsBase.Upgrade() but I am not sure how to apply it. Should the application call Upgrade() each time it is started If not, how should the application handle the transition between versions without requiring end-user assistance and assuming the settings are the same between versions. Thank you, Valentin T ...Show All

This is a transactions table so you'd expect several records in the dataset for each company..that's not the problem. example data from dataset: TransID     CompanyID   &nbs ...Show All
