• Windows Forms build propertygrid at runtime...

  What I want to be able to do is add properties to my propertygrid at runtime depending on what properties the user has specified with a database table. Let me give you an example and hopefully it might all become clearer. I have a propertygrid called 'propGrid1' which is placed on my form already at design time. I then have a database table w ...Show All

• SQL Server List of new supported datatypes

  Is there a list of new supported data types for SQL 2005 anywhere Thanks MoonWa You can take a look at <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ms187752.aspx">this</a>.And John Bell wrote a nice text on the microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming newsgroep: DataTypes - UDTs, the XML data type, and "MAX" BLOBs and CLOBs SQL Server 2005 adds support for user-defined types, a native XML data type and better large data support. Large data support is improved by using the Transact-SQL types VARCHAR(MAX), NVARCHAR(MAX) and VARBINARY(MAX). User-defined types and a native XML type are defined by the SQL:1999 and SQL:2003 specificatio ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting a ray into object space

  Hello, I have been stuck on trying to convert a ray into object space, for simple collision detection, I have tried multiplying the coordinates of the ray with the objects inverse matrix ( x = x*_11 + y*_12 + z*_13, y = etc..) but that does not seem to work. There should not be any problems with detecting the collision as I am usuing the D3DXIntersect() function with this ray and the objects mesh. The current code I am using is: D3DXVECTOR3 vPos = pGlobal_Game->pData->objData[iID].Pos3d - pGlobal_Game->pData->objData .Pos3d , vDirPos = pos3d - pGlobal_Game->pData->objData .Pos3d, vDir; iID being for the object th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Agent problems with Sept CTP

  I installed the new controller/agent on a clean machine.  It appears to have installed correctly, but I can't run any tests on the agent.  The test (a simple web click test) runs fine on my local machine.  I have bumped up tracing on the agent and service.  The controller log says it sucessfully queues the test run and the agent log says it sucessfully connects to the controller, but it just hangs there.  After a while, I get a timeout in VS.  Is there a list somewhere of the debug steps to go through to help diagnose agent problems and any command line tools   Also, should I be seing values in the SQL ...Show All

• Visual C# SaveFileDialog

  Ok. I am using a SaveFileDialog object. What I would like to know is how to save a certain file from a location. For example..maybe a file from my website. http://www.intelvision.net/ebook/hello.txt. Hi, Yes, cgraus is right. You can't do that with SaveFileDialog.

• Windows Forms Formatting a textbox for currency

  I'm stumped.  This should be the easiest thing to do in the world, and yet there is no obvious choice here.  I want a simple textbox that automatically formats itself for money with a $ and 2 numbers after the decimal.  I've tried the new maskedTextbox and am not impressed, that is really not what I'm looking for.  So far all tries at using the .ToString method, the .String.Format method have failed.  They generally just don't work.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I tried overriding a textbox and taking over the OnPaint method.   However, it appears that the OnPaint isn't used! WTF ! Why is it e ...Show All

• .NET Development How to reuse a SSL-Session

  Hello, I connect to a server using ftps (ftp over tls). Both the control-connection and the data-connection shall be encrypted as specified in RFC4217. I use .net 2.0 and the SSLStream to initially establish the control-connection and this works just fine. For transferring any data encrypted using the data-connection i have to resume the SSLSession of the control-connection. The Server does not only support this but also requests this behaviour in order to establish a valid data-connection. My problem is now: how do i set up an encrypted connection that uses an already negotiated SSLSession. I havent found any references about ...Show All
