• Visual FoxPro How to view all code used in a form and its controls.

  Hi   I would like to be able to view all of the associated code used in a form and its controls contained within it. This is how VB shows your code. Now I have to select each object and then the event to see the code for each section. I did this by accident before and cannot seem to figure out how I did it again. Please advise me on how to do this. Thank You Rob Rob, Use the class browser to open the form, click the view code button. The code is not actually runnable if there is any containership of controls inside something other than the form itself. But it will give you a good look all the cod ...Show All

• .NET Development NetworkStream.DataAvailable - what is the "timeout" period?

  Hi all, in my application I am using this piece of code: while (MyStream.DataAvailable) { numberOfBytesRead = MyStream.Read(myReadBuffer, 0, myReadBuffer.Length); newData = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(myReadBuffer); UsePacket(DecodeNewPacket(newData)); } The server application is sending let's say 25 packets per 1000 bytes to this client. Since every packet is processed by the function DecodeNewPacket() I need to have in myReadBuffer only one packet each time the DecodeNewPacket() function is called. However, if the server sends data quickly, I can receive two such packets - which should be processed se ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to create a control with a gradient background

  I would have figured that this sort of capability would be part of the standard VS 2005 controls, especially considering the extent to which MS uses gradients in their own apps for button backgrounds and such...it is not too much to ask, is it anyway... Since the standard controls in VS 2005 do not seem to support gradient backgrounds I have made a custom GradientButton class derived from the Button class. I'd like it to have a gradient background. How do I do this without redrawing the entire control I referenced a C# example on how to do this and the code showed an overridden OnPaint method that used the event argument's graphics object ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xact in combination with MDX?

  Hey, I'm trying to get Xact working with MDX in C#. creating the engine is no problem, but then I want to create the sound and wave banks Does anybody has an example for a simple use of Xact with MDX in C# Well XACT has a managed implementation in the MDX 2.0 beta. However I'm not sure how complete it is and since its beta there are no docs or samples. Nor have I come across any 3rd party samples. Given the announcements about MDX 2.0 and its future as the XNA framework though (see http://blogs.msdn.com/tmiller/archive/2006/04/12/575225.aspx and http://blogs.msdn.com/al_msft/archive/2006/03/20/555065.as ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dreaded Failed to enable constraints!!

  After wasting a few hours on this dang error, I thought I would post on here for some help! OK, here's the code in error: datagridBills.DataSource = Me .BillTableAdapter.GetDataByDateAs(e.Start.Date) This is a datagrid and NOT a datagridview. GetDataByDateAs: SELECT Bill_Name AS Name, Bill_Balance AS Balance,IsPaid, Bill_dueDate, Bill_ID FROM Bill WHERE Bill_dueDate = @date Now, I don't understand why this works perfectly when I take out the "AS" from the sql query. It seems any little change to the standard sql query will cause problems. I'm new to VB 2005, so go easy on me please :) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Enter key to act as 'Submit' or 'OK' button

  Hi, I am developing a Windows (Not WEB) form to capture the Username and Password of the application's users. I would like the user to be able to press 'Enter' after entering the password and not have to get the mouse to click 'Ok'. How can one do this There must be some trick. I checked all the properties for the textbox field I use to capture the password. On MSDN, all I found was related to web form, and mostly, on how to prevent the 'Enter' key to act as a 'Submit' button. The few message I found about having 'Enter' work were explaining how adding a hidden texbox field would do the trick but it didn't work in ...Show All

I suppose these new versions of Visual Studio nets are ANSI-C++ compliant, but are they I dont want learn after hard work that my work is not according to the standard. Second question: Is it console settings which are standard. I think there is no dos-mode anymore. Character-based anyway. Regards L The VC team tries to be more conformant to the standard from one version of VC to another. For practicing, VC2005 should be applicable. Yes, console settings is the way to go.
