• Visual C# Switch Statements Issue

  I'm sure i managed to do this in java once (a very long time ago) but i have forgotten...i have the following switch statment.  Ultimately i want to continual loop routing to the relevant case statement, until i'm done, i would like to do it this way because i have many options and choices and  a while loop will not suffice.  How do i achieve what i want switch (state) { case:1 //test something, if true i want to jump to case 3 otherwise jump to 2 case 2: //some calculation here //go back to case 1. case 3: //some calculation here break; } How about this - ...Show All

• SQL Server Reattaching old database

  I have just installed SQLExpress version 9.0.1399. I was using an earlier version of the server before and backed up a copy of my mdf files for safety's sake. However when I now try and attach the old databases I get an error that the database files from the old non-release version (590) is not compatible. Probably my own fault - the information was probably clearly on display deep in a file somewhere in the documentation (cough). However I would kind of like to get at the data in these files. Is there any way of getting hold of an earlier version of SQLExpress which will handle these files Or can they be opened in any other way ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word Template crash

  I have a Word template project that can add custom controls to the document (something like WordDynamicControls example). I am able to open my template and save as a doc file.

• Visual C++ Is there a tool to visually map out classes in a project?

  I'm a novice C++ developer for an engineering firm. I was tasked to maintain and continue developing a hardware interfacing system. It is purely object oriented and consists of more than a hundred classes derived from dlls, resulting in quite a mess. So, it would be help to give me an overview of the interdependencies and structure of the system if there's any software or tool capable of visually mapping out the system Hi, if you're using VS 2003 I think that Microsoft Visio integrates with it and allows that functionality. VS 2005 has a nice reverse engineering function feature that converts the code to cla ...Show All

• Windows Forms Image zoom

  I want to let users draw a rectangle (or square, I don't know yet) around a part of an image to zoom in on it, similar to selecting multiple files in Windows Explorer or multiple controls in Windows Forms Designer. Once I have the coordinates of the rectangle I am fine; I just need to know how to implement the UI!   Thanks. Keep your image in a bitmap. When the mouse is on buttondown, get to coordinate and set a flag. When the mouse move, if the flag is set, get the coordinate of the cursor and create a new bitmap. Copy your main image in this bitmap with a rectangle using your 2 coordinate (u ...Show All
