• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Please help with creating buttons!

  I'm using Interactive Designer and need some help with the basic concept of making buttons. Also...I'm a designer (not a developer), so I need simple explanations and no XAML;) What I'm trying to do: Create a button with a blue background, white text, and an aqua highlight across the top. When clicked, the background turns yellow, the text turns black, and the aqua highlight stays the same. So...I can do everything mentioned above, except create the aqua background. Honestly, there seem to be a variety of ways to create buttons (Library > Button, draw a rectangle then Tools > Make Button, etc.) but I can't seem to find a way t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Dual threaded bitmap creation

  Hi there, I have a simple example below showing how I create a bitmap from a data array: void Form1::ImageUpD(array<double,2>^ image) { ImageBmp = gcnew Bitmap(image->GetLength(0),image->GetLength(1),PixelFormat::Format24bppRgb); BitmapData^ data = ImageBmp->LockBits(Drawing::Rectangle(0,0,image->GetLength(0),image->GetLength(1)),ImageLockMode::WriteOnly,PixelFormat::Format24bppRgb); unsigned char *bits = (unsigned char*)data->Scan0.ToPointer(); int bytesPerPixel = 3; // 3 bytes per pixel for 24 bpp rgb int val; for (int i = 0; i < data->Height; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < data->Width * bytesPerPixel; ...Show All

• SQL Server Converting identity column to "not for replication"

  Is there a good way in sql2k to change an identity column to "not for replication" without recreating the table and moving the data I'm thinking of setting syscolumns.colstat to (value) | 8, since that bit appears to be control "not for replication". But I've been a sql dba for 8 years and I can't remember when I've ever had to update a system table -- I'd rather not start now. Thanks, Mike I snagged the code portion quoted in the book from one of the replication stored procedures. It works only if the table on your subscriber is empty. In general you should not modify system table ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Passing values from one web test to another

  I realise that values can be passed from one WebTest to another using the Context. I have written a generic ValidationRule and I want people to be able to pass me an XPath to use as part iof the Validate evaluation. The XPath statement they are intertested in may be dynamic with parts of it changing based on test variables. For example, I could have a test that lets me buy from a shopping site and the item i buy is data driven. The test could be written to place the "item bought code" in a variable called "MyVar" in the test's Context. My generic validation rule knows nothing of this context variable of "MyVar" but does take an XPath. I ...Show All

• Visual Basic Missing Smart Tag options

  I am working with and new to Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and Visual Basic. I am reading a book titled "Introducing Visual Basic 2005 for Developers". In a section describing use of smart tags in developing a simple application, the book states a control's type can be changed using the smart tag. However, when I click on the smart tag for any of the controls, I am not given the option to change the type. Are some options only available in the Developer's Edition I am attempting to change a textbox to a label to prevent changes to data in that field (this follows the example in the book). Thanks for the help. ...Show All
