• Windows Forms Problems with MonthCalendar

  I have a MonthCalendar Control with CalendarDimension set to 3,1 so I get 3 months across. I set the SelectionRange to 4/13 so it will be 3 months, Prev, Current and Next. But this doesn't work. Where is the FirstMonth property so I can set it to month-1 it could be 0 if we don't care I hope somebody can tell me what events to use or methods. But I googleed for an answer and saw this question from several years ago and they never got an answer . There is no easy way to do this.  I believe this may get you want you need:   this .monthCalendar1.SetDate(DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-1));   this ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem migrating to Managed DX 2.0...

  Well here is the deal. My app modifies an offscreen surface each frame and then updates a texture with that surface's data. Then that texture gets rendered on a quad that uses the whole screen with TransformedTextured Vertices. This all worked right with the previous version of MDX but it doesn't show anything now. My render method looks like this: dev.UpdateSurface( this .frameBufferSurface, null , this ._frameBufferTexture.GetSurfaceLevel(0), null ); dev.BeginScene(); dev.VertexFormat = TransformedTextured.Format; dev.SetStreamSource(0, this ._vertexBuffer, 0); dev.SetTexture(0, this ._frameBufferTexture); dev.Dr ...Show All

• .NET Development Using reflection to load GAC assemblies

  I just want to use reflection to load an assembly in the GAC. Is the only way to do this to use Assembly.LoadFrom("path to GAC\Assembly name") That seems a bit naff. This post should help: http://blogs.msdn.com/junfeng/archive/2004/08/24/219691.aspx (you should checkout that blog for more info on how assemblies are loaded.) So if you're loading the assemblies only for reflection, the new APIs in v2.0 should be the way to go. hope that helps, Imran. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to show a different text for bool

  Hi, is there a simple way to display a different text on a bool-bound text. Assume I have an app with a label showing some bool value from an SQL-Table. This shows True or False - what I want is to show (for an example) Yes / No, or 1 / 0 on "Out off office" / "In the office". Another "problem" is that I sometimes want to bind reverse. So for an example I want to hide a button if some expression is true. The other way is simple - I bind the Visible attribute to the bool - but what if this is different. Or what if I want to enable when a textfield has a certain value In ASP.NET I would write something like Attr="<%# Eval("F ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any opinions on the untyped-ness of xaml?

  I love xaml and I think it's super powerful. However, the whole system gets much of it's productivity by being untyped. Meaning, if I can bind to a 'path' that is found in a datacontext that I can set/change in the code-behind, no compiler will ever be able to help me figure out that I made a typo in the path. Actually, when I change a property name on the dataobject I'm binding to, goodluck finding all the references in xaml files. This seems like a step back (mind you, we get lots of power back ofcourse). Are there any thoughts on this Should we start binding in the codebehind instead of the xaml (ouch, that would lose mucho producti ...Show All
