• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Next CTP of WinFX scheduled for when?

  I'm having the runtime throwing exceptions on any application I compile, some BAML parser exception that's related to a FPU stack overflow (or whatever). This issue showed up in the December CTP already, was promised to be fixed in the next release (which would be the January CTP) in a thread on these forums, yet it's still there. I'd like to be able to continue with the development of this WPF based application, without buying some new rig because WPF seems to be hating my current one because it doesn't do SSE2. Is there another WinFX CTP scheduled for hopefully very soon Microsoft has stated that the Jan ...Show All

• Windows Forms webBrowser question, content from string?

  Hello.  I am using VS 2005 beta 2 and am building a C# project with a webbrowser control embedded in my Windows.Form. I see that I can use the DocumentText hook to feed HTML from a string to the webbrowser.  What I would like to do is feed SVG code to the browser from a string (I have already installed Adobe SVG Viewer, so the browser can render SVG content).  Is there a way to tell the browser control that the mime type it is getting is "image/svg+xml" instead of HTML Thanks in advance for any help. Simple solution would probably be to save the file withthe approrpiate extension and then nav ...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 is the record name. I've gotten as far as associating the file with my project, but can't find the trick on how to open it and read what's in it. The code should: 1) Open the file ("CCUG PreOp.mdb") ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Lost Partition

  I have a system that currently is running windows 2000 in partition C:. I attempted to load VISTA beta release version using 40 G unpartitioned space on my 80 G HDD. During the installation I was unsure if the vista would use all of the 40 G partition so I cancelled the Install.  Now I can no longer see the 40 G partition using windows 2000 disk management. Is there a program that will allow me to manage this disk Same thing happened to me but with one partition.  I took my drive out of my Vista PC and put it in another XP PC as a slave drive and deleted the partition that way.  Once you put it back in your old PC y ...Show All

• SQL Server Grouping question

  I have a report that is actually going to be printed on NCR (carbon) paper to be written on. On this report I have a table that displays items from five different groups plus adds blanks for written entries. The data displays correctly under each group along with the extra spaces for written data, however what I need to know is how to "force" a group that does not have any items. Is there a way to do this Thanks for any information. If you don't have any items of a group your resultset doesn't contain the group and I think its not possible to add it afterwards, so you have to change your SQL- ...Show All
