• Visual C# Visual studio 2005 can't generate XML

  Hello, I have a little problem with vs 2005 (i use c# but i don't think that really matters for this problem) I have a form which is localizable (this is important because on a localizable form, the size of controls are stored in a recourse manager) On my form i have a table layout panel wich dock fills its parent (so it will grow and shrink when you resize the form). I would like to have 8 rows in my tablelayoutpanle and a simple calculation gives 12,5% height for each row. When i go to "edit rows and columns" i can set the size of my columns in % (the number format used in the edit form is "XX,XX" so entereing 12,50 is no problem. But whe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration Benefits - IconBuffet

  I have been working with VW Dev Express and have accessed some of the benefits from the Registration Benefit Portal.  I would like to be able to get the IconBuffet item, however, it does not appear to be one of the benefits of VWD.  Does anyone know which Express software includes IconBuffet as a registration benefit --Charles I understand who gets what but the actual Benefits Portal does not have the IconBuffet.  Does anyone know where to find the IconBuffet   Even though this is advertised as a benefit has anyone ever seen this benefit Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Index on bit fields in SQL Server Management Studio

  I noticed that I can put a bit field in an index in a SQL Server 2000 database, while using the SQL Server Management Studio (shipped with SQL Server 2005). In SQL Enterprise Manager this wasn't possible. Does SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and doesn't Enterprise Manager support it, or doesn't SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and is it a 'bug' of the SQL Server Management Studio Thanks. My experience tells me that this is not true. When the SQL Server only has to access an index instead of the real table, this can increase performance. In the past we've converted Bit fields to Ti ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to write an App with no console window at all

  Hi I haven't written any C++ since VS6 so I'm rusty and please pardon me. I have a need for a very lean application which runs as a native mode executable with no accompanying libraries or manifest file. In other words this program behaves in the manner that a VS6 application would. I seem to recall that I could get a program to run without a console window by deassigning stdin and stdout but that may have been in a detached child process. Can anyone tell me how to do this If you create a windows program you don't get a console window to. There is no need to create your own window. Just use the wizard and create an Win3 ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serialport XON/XOFF Handshake State

  Hello all I found the following problem/speciallty in SerialPort I/O with XON/XOFF handshaking. When the SerielPort is opened and set to xonxoff handshaking it is ready to send files, so it is in xon state. When I send a file to the reciever and my device recieves an xoff after the transmition is complete it is then in xoff mode. After this I can't send anymore files because the port is blocked in xoff and my reciever won't send an xon to start. The other thing is I don't know wich state it's in. I have to close and reopen the port to get back into xon mode, then I can send the second file. Does anyone know if the serialport ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Connect SQL Server Express from Pocket PC

  Hi All, I am new in .net and also in pocket pc. I would like to know how to connect to SQL server using bluetooth if I use the LAN, then may I know how is the connection string and what is the thing I need to imports or declare. Hope can get some idea from all the experts. Thanks. You need to use SQL Client just like on desktop. Physical media (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BT) is irrelevant as long as you're running TCP/IP over it. Your server should be configured to use TCP/IP as well. SQL Express has this disabled by default, so you'd need to enable it. Please see this for general connection issues: ...Show All
