• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic load of GeometryModel3D Objects

  Hello, In my application I am loading dynamically some 3DModels. These models are stored on separate files on disc. At run time, I am creating some 3DModel objects from these files via a XAMLReader, like this: XmlTextReader content .... load the xaml file in the XmlTextReader... Model3DGroup model3DGroup = XamlReader .Load(content);   The 3DModels stored in these files are defined like: <Model3DGroup x:Name="MyModel"> My question is: how can I get the name ("MyModel") from the loaded 3DModel I need this in order to uniquely identify at run time the model loade ...Show All

• Smart Device Development PPC device problem w/ VS2005 application

  hello all, i have a program that i upgraded from eVC to VS2005 using the eVC++ upgrade wizard add on. i was able to successfully upgrade the application (or at least i think i did), and it compiled correctly in VS2005. when i transferred the app over to the PPC device (running PPC magneto) and tried to run it, i get the following error message: "The file 'app name' cannot be opened.  either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found.  you might need to reinstall or restore this file" i'm thinking the problem has to do w/ the trusted certificate, but not 100% sure, as i've never dealt ...Show All

• Visual Basic writing in specific locations on screen

  I am updating vb6 code which displays mathematical formulae in a picturebox.  It uses currentX and currentY to keep track of positions for components of the expression on the screen.  This allows it to generate a formula based on user input and which involves superscripts and powers. In one section of the code I have      xco = Picture2.CurrentX                      and later I have        Picture2.CurrentX = (xco + 100 + xco2) / 2       & ...Show All

• .NET Development Exception "The server has rejected the client credentials" with NegotiateStream

  I tried to use the NegotiateStream class available in .NET 2.0 to secure a remoting connection. It was configured as follows: Hashtable channelSettings = new Hashtable(); channelSettings["protectionLevel"] = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.EncryptAndSign; channelSettings["secure"] = true; TcpClientChannel channel = new TcpClientChannel(channelSettings, null); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(channel); It all worked fine when the client and server were running on the same machine. It also worked when server process was running on Windows 2003 Server box (with AD but the client machines were not registered in that domain). But when we t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Latest DirectX SDK Update for Windows 2000?

  Hi guys, I wanted to update my SDK to the February update but it seems support for it has been dropped from Windows 2000. Is there plans to change this or is it going the way of the XP now Cheers. Windows 2000 is unsupported as a development target. Your apps will run on it, but you can't develop on it. You should also note that, unless you have paid for an extended support contract, Windows 2000 is an upsupported OS. We do not target new development work to unsupported operating systems. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Port Requirements for Remote Client

  We are testing Team System in a distributed scenario. The application tier is located behind a firewall in US. Offshore users will be connecting from overseas via the Tfs Client (remote users are *not* in the same domain since they belong to different vendor organizations). Questions: 1. Which ports (besides 80 and 443) need to be opened for the Source Control client to work with the App Tier server The global teams will use a single repository. 2. In adiditon to the the ports indicated in #1, are there additional ports that need to be opened for the remote Team System client to be able to work fully (for Work Item Tracking, Team Bu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Disabling source control integration completely

  Is there any easy way to disable source control integration in VS2005, even for projects that have source control associations For example, I have a project that's bound to a VSS project. I would like VS to open the project as if it had no source control association. I tried changing the selected source control provider in Tools/Options to "None", but when I open a project bound to VSS, it changes back to "Microsoft Visual SourceSafe". The use-case here is that we have some remote developers that can't use integrated source control, and some local developers that can. If the local developers bind the project to source control, then the rem ...Show All

• Windows Forms Type.GetType and Colors

  I have a code editor where I use reflection to lookup types descriptions. If I have code like this: Type type = Type.GetType("System.Drawing.Color, System.Drawing"); the variable "type" is null. Does anyone know how to use the Type.GetType function to get the Color's type I cannot simply use Color.GetType() because this is for a generic code editor that does not already have the type definition for all classes in all loaded assemblies. Thanks, Greg Hi, Thanks for the replies.  The issue here is in the usage of my program.  I have a code editor with code completion.  I' ...Show All

• SQL Server Create .SDF from .MDF File

  So we have this database in SQL 2005, and we want to create a SQL Mobile database filled with a subset of data from that SQL 2005 database. Replication is NOT an option for us (otherwise, believe me, we would be down that road in a heartbeat). Hence why we're trying to create the files manually. Now, I know I could write an app that creates the .SDF file, gets the data from the master and puts it in the mobile one...but if there's a way to do it using the SQL manager or the BI development studio, I'd rather do it that way. Any thoughts on this Thanks! D "SQL Server Integration Services&q ...Show All

• SQL Server Please Help!!!

  I'm running Visual Studio 2005 (VB) with SQL 2005 installed. I tried to add a SQL database and it says SQL express is not installed. And here I was thinking that SQLexpress was only for VS express. I do not want to use that old crippled handicap SQL express database... how do I use the regular SQL database Thanks. For starters, SQL Express is hardly OLD, it came out at the same time as SQL Server 2005 and is based on the SQL Server 2005 engine. Secondly SQL Express is installed by default with any version of Visual Studio. This doesn't mean you can't have other versions of SQL Server installed on ...Show All
