• Visual Basic Creating a Windows Service

  In VS .NET 2003, you could create a Windows Service using Visual Basic.  This was a great feature and I used it several times.  I went to try this in VS 2005 and it doesn't seem to be an option. Will this feature be included in the final version of VS 2005 or am I just not finding it in B2 Thanks. That is the case, but I would be very surprised if VS Profesional didn't contain the Windows Service Template. Well it did in VS 2003 anyway. ...Show All

  Hi Friends, I have a installation program that installs MSDE and I need to restart the computer upon successfully installing MSDE.But the problem is the "AUTORUN.INF" file does not start with any program on computer restart.

• Visual C# turn this algorithm into code...help please

  The following algorithm is for checking a person's birth date / birth number combination (an equivalent to social security number). The birth date / birth number combination consists of a 10 digit number, YYMMDDNNNN, for example 7401204933. To decide if this number is correct, you multiply each digit alternatively with 2 and 1, starting with 2. Next, you add the results together. Finally, you have to be able to evenly divide the sum by 10, for the number to be correct. For example, checking the number 7401204933 would look like this: 7 * 2 = 14 ---> 1 + 4 4 * 1 = 4 ---> 4 0 * 2 = 0 ---> 0 1 * 1 = 1 ---> 1 2 * 2 = 4 ---&g ...Show All

• .NET Development Computed Columns in TableAdapters

  Hello, I'm very frustrated with the TableAdapter created by the dataset designer in Visual Studio 2005. Here's my problem: My select statement is just a select * from X. Some of the columns are computed columns, and should not be included in the update or insert commands. However, they are. I can't seem to get it to not include these columns in the update and insert commands without removing them altogther. This problem did not exist in 2003. Any advice Thanks, Bryce Bryce, Okay I'm not sure where exactly are your columns computed - as a part of the SQL Statement, or as Expression on the d ...Show All

• Visual C# A couple of small newbie C# questions.

  I'm making a breakout game in C# to try and help myself understand Structs. I used this code to define a "brick" object... struct obj_brick { int x, y; Boolean removed; Image sprite_index; public void draw( Graphics g) { if (removed == false ) {g.DrawImage(sprite_index, new Point (x, y));}} public void remove() {removed = true ;} } I can easily now create instances of obj_brick like so: obj_brick myBrick = new obj_brick(); //creates it, ok myBrick.x = 5; //does not work due to "protection level" .. I can however, access myBrick.draw(); fine... A final (and shorter!) question... how do I go about iterating through ...Show All
