• .NET Development Oracle 9i & .NET - problems with character sets

  Hi, I have this project in with the front-end in ASP.NET 1.1 and the back-end in PHP using Oracle 9i running in a LINUX machine. The codebase in both Oracle server and client is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1. When using the wingding font PHP reads and writes all data correctly from the database, but .NET doesn't. I tried using both data providers (Microsoft and Oracle) and the result is the same. Something happens when the conversion is made ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dumb newbie question regarding XP Styles

  Going through the video tutorials which show forms with XP style borders, etc.  However, mimicking those actions of the trainer, I only see plain vanilla-styled form headers and such.  I understand there's a way to "fix" this, but I don't know how.  Any referral links   Note that I have Visual Basic Express on an XP Tablet edition machine. BTW - Microsoft - why aren't XP styles the default for this new version of Vi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Webcam preview in an Avalon app

  Hi, I am building a small webcam API which is part of a larger final year project at my university. In the samples I've seen the camera preview attached to a window, given its HWND handle. The lines of code looked roughly like this (taken from the PlayCap sample in the DirectShow SDK): ... HWND ghApp = CreateWindow(...); ... IID_IVideoWindow g_pVW; ... g_pVW->put_Owner((OAHWND)ghApp); ... So, what I want to do is actually have the preview go ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I debug code in design mode (i.e. running under the IDE) using VS2005 RTM?

  I have a problem using the new RTM version of Visual Studio 2005. I write a lot of custom components and a lot of the functionality I provide is available at design time, which I need to test and debug. In previous versions of Visual Studio I would just boot up a second VS instance for the same project and attach it to the first to debug, but that does not work in VS 2005 RTM. If I try attaching a second version of the project (DEVENV.EXE ...Show All

• Visual Basic Newbie Database Question

  This is a very basic question, but I've wasted a few hours trying to figure it out already, so I'm groveling for help. I'm looking for basic code to help me open a database, read some of the contents into variables, and that's it for now (close the database). The database in question is a flat table in mdb format; 8 columns, 15 rows - each row is a record with a name (p01, p02, etc) and seven associated strings - pretty primitive. The 1st column ...Show All

  I have updated some of the samples to .NET Framework 3.0 Beta 2. http://www.valil.com/winfx Great! I was just trying to demo your chess app to somebody yesterday. More people should provide XBAP or .Application versions of their apps/samples. (i'd prefer people provide XBAPs as there is less hesitancy to download and run it...even if the user doesn't know the publisher...)

• .NET Development Paging Through Large Data

  I'm writing an ASP.NET application that uses a SQL Server 2000 database. The application searches in large tables with 500, 000+ Records and then displays the search results, the search results could be easily 20,000 or 30,000 results. Ofcourse i need to use paging to show like 10 or 20 results per page. I can't use the DataSet ofcourse, that would be too stupid from me to get 30,000 records to display only 20 records. On the other hand the D ...Show All
