• Windows Forms ErrorProvider on TabControl

  I use an ErrorProvider on my form to show errors. This works fine as long as I don't use a TabControl. When using a TabControl an error can happen on a TabPage that doesn't have the focus. So I bring the TabPage with the error to front using this code: VB: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- myTabPage.BringToFront() myTabPage.Select() myTabPage.Show() myTabPage.Refresh() ----- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Configuring SQL Server Express and Visual Web Designer Express

I am able to successfully install .NET 2.0, SQL Server 2005 Express, and VWD 2005  Express from the Express homepage ( http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/ ).  At least, I am not receiving any error messages during download/install.  However, I am unable to configure SQL and VWD to talk with each other such that a new Web project in VWD Express can connect to the database for the basic site admin functions, much less any actual data manipulation/storage. All instructions I've found seem to relate to SQL build versions other than wha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem inserting a new record with VB 2005 using a table adaptor and SQL 2005 Express

  I have a Windows form that is bound to a customer dataset.     The form displays a single customer record with text boxes for FirstName, LastName, Address, etc.    I created a Fill Query to accept a key field parameter and return the complete record.  When I use my SQL Fill command, passing it the key field (which is an identity field) , it populates the text boxes on the form with no problem. The line looks like this:      Me .CustomersTableAdapter.FillByID( Me .ShopTracDataSet.Customers, CustomerID)    If I use the SQL generated Updat ...Show All

  I have a few questions about this device.Transform.view = Matrix would set the camera for the rendering screen and device.Transform.World = Matrix would place the mesh object into the world space right if all the above is correct what would be the best matrix seting for turning a mesh and placing it into a set location on the screen Yes, you're assertions about those two matrices are correct. Although there is another matrix that you didn't mention - the projection matrix.

• Visual C# Variable doesn't increment

  Hi, I'm creating a Tetris game in which I have an 'x' and a 'y' variable. At first they are set to 0. I use a timer to change the 'y' value to move the figure down. Here's the code: private void timer1_Tick( object sender, EventArgs e) { y++; Graphics grfx = this .CreateGraphics(); PaintEventArgs f = new PaintEventArgs (grfx, this .ClientRectangle); DrawFigure dr = new DrawFigure (f, x, y); grfx.Dispose(); if (y > 569) timer1.Stop(); } Yet, after each event, 'y' goes back down to 0, instead of incrementing. Why is this happening Check that this timer ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why do you need the .vspscc and .vssscc files?

  Just wondering.  In general these VCS overhead files are annoying and kind of get in the way.  Can't you just stuff everything you need to know into the .sln and .*proj files Team Foundation uses these to store lists of files that have been excluded from source control.  We leveraged some of the existing SCC integration layer in Visual Studio to integrate Team Foundation, and these files were one of the carryovers.  I'll have to check into what the logic was in breaking out these SCC settings into separate files as opposed to putting them in the solution and project files' SCC sections. ...Show All
