• Visual C# DateTime Method

  Ok. I know I have asked this question before, but I wanted to ask it in a different light. Here is a sample code that I dont know what to do with : double seconds = 0; DateTime baseTime = new DateTime (); DateTime date = baseTime.AddMilliseconds(seconds); Ok, what I want is for the current time to be "00:00:00".  And for it to show the incrementing seconds.

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Setup problem

  Installing the VS2005 Pro (German) after starting Setup.exe I get: Could not copy the file ....VS\setup\DeleteTemp.exe to the temporary directory. Make sure that the specified file exists and run setup again. Any idea Thanks I found the problem (lsobuster, blue icon with long filenames required). However, after calling setup.exe next problem came up copying files. It seems to be a problem of IsoBuster. Using Daemon Tools I could install without any problem. Thanks anyway. ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS2005 Windows Forms and Custom Namespace

  Ok, how do I put a new windows form or user control into a different namespace with the partial generated class files   VS did not like me editing the designer file.  Alternatively, is there a way to have the designer generated code in the single class file ala VS 2003 so all new forms work similar to the converted forms in my project Thanx, If it is a subnamespace of your main namespace, you can create a new folder in your project and forms added to the new folder will be namespaced as main.sub.  If this is not your case, you may want to question why you have a single project that cuts across namespace tree ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing data in a DataSet

  Hello all, ADO is very new to me, so I hope this question doesn't seem too simple. If anybody can recommend a good ADO book or tutorial that would be great. I am using C# Express and SQL Express. I've been able to connect to my database, use a TableAdapter to get access to it, and fill a DataSet with a query from the TableAdapter. My question is, how can I get access to the the rows and columns in my DataSet I know how to "databind" them to a form control, but I'm trying to just get them into variables. For example, if my table looks like this: int myAlbumsID (primary key, isIdentity=yes) varchar[50] albumName ...Show All

• Visual J# Creating a Dataset - by dragging table from MYSQL database

• Visual Studio Team System Validate HTML response using the DOM?

  I'm trying to write a custom validator that will allow me to check the value of a grid in a specific row and column. While I can verify that the grid Id exists in the response, the html itself is just a string without any structure. My code at the moment is pretty simple: public override void Validate( object sender, ValidationEventArgs e) {   // assume the test fails   e.IsValid = false ;   HtmlDocument page = e.Response.Document;   if (page.Contents.Contains(gridId))   {     e.IsValid = true ;     e.Message = "Found the grid" ;   }   else   {  &n ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bindingsource.Filter Problem

  I have a Windows Forms app with about 20 combobox controls on one form that are databound to a dataset from a SQL 2005 Express db. In addition to the comboboxes, I have one DataGridView that uses a bindingsource (MaintenanceBindingSource) as its datasource. I want to use the filter property of the bindingsource to filter records from the dataset based upon the value (text) of the SerialNoComboBox and display them in the DataGridView. I've tried the examples of the following code in the TextChanged event of SerialNoComboBox, but none seem to work: Me .MaintenanceBindingSource.Filter = SerialNoComboBox.Text MaintenanceBindingSource.Fil ...Show All

• .NET Development Loading an Assembly into current AppDomain

  I want to carry an Assembly through remoting and to load it into a particular AppDomain . Actually, I am surprised that the method AppDomain.Load does not provide any overload based on the simple Assembly class (but provide filepath name based overloads instead). As a workaround, I can write it down the assembly into a temporary file first, but it is rather painful. What is the correct way to load an Assembly (when you already hold an Assembly instance) into an AppDomain Thanks in advance, Joannes Vermorel Assemblies are not "remotable" objects in the way you seem to be thinking of them.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debugging program that won't start

  Whenever I try to start my program, I get a dialog box saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application". With the debugger, it does the exact same thing, giving me no opportunity to find out what is going on; if I try to break it once the dialog box is up, I get another dialog "Unable to break execution. Please wait until the debuggee has finished loading, and try again" The only vaguely informative piece of information is a message in the debug window: "Debugger: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load" ...Show All
