• SQL Server Subreports and page breaks

  I have a main report with 3 subreports lined up in 2 columns. The report on the left is the height of the page (but varies in height by up to 6 lines). The other reports are smaller and fit on the right, one below the other. The main report also has a couple of fields at the top (not a header). My problem occurs when the report on the left is too big to fit on the first page. Instead of filling up the first page and spilling 3-4 lines onto the 2nd page, it instead skips entirely to the 2nd page (since there is enough room there - there are no header fields). Is there a way to force a subreport to be dumb and not try and fit onto o ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Change scrollbar style within a ListView/GridView

  I'm using a ListView that contains a GridView, with a number of columns defined. This serves my current needs, except for the vertical and horizontal scrollbars that are shown within the ListView. I can't find any way to style them. For starters, I need to remove the gray scale look and replace it with colors that work with the overall theme of the application. Is there any documentation on how to style, or otherwise access properties of the scrollbar within a ListView Thanks.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Maximum primitivecount

  Hi all, I’m moving over to DirectX from OpenGL for my CAD program. Just found that there is a maximum primitivecount limit, I can easily have 1,000,000 plus verities (Circles and Arcs use a lot!). I’m using One big Vertex buffer, for every thing, before I start splitting things up I just want to make sure that I have not missed anything obvious and that I have no alternative. I very new to DirectX you see! Cheers Julian MaxPrimitiveCount does not limit the size of your vertex buffers. It only limits the number of primitives you can draw with one call.
