• Visual C# Update Dataset In C#

  I have a Insert statement to insert new records into the Access database, but how do i Update the dataset Hi, The approach that you are doing is quite the reverse. You must first edit your dataset then send the updates to your access database. To do this you must have a activeconnection, adapter and a dataset. eg: OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM myTable", con); OleDbCommandBuilder cm = new OleDbCommandBuilder(adapter); ... // Fill the DataSet and edit adapter.Fill(ds); ds.Tables[0].Rows[10]["field1"] = "TEsting"; // send updates to database adapter.Update(ds);   Just see the MSDN docs for additio ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where to find TextureLoader ?? [Derek Pierson's tutorial]

  Hello, I'm studying Derek Pierson's tutorial I have found on < http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/gamedevelopment/beginning/default.aspx >. I had to do some changes since I'm still using VS 2003 with .Net 1.1. I installed DirectX SDK from December release. At some point, in article 4, there is this code (several times...): _leftFaceTexture = TextureLoader.FromFile ( _device, @"..\..\..\Resources\Left.tga", -1, -1, -1, 0, Format.Unknown, Pool.Managed, Filter.Triangle | Filter.Mirror, Filter.Triangle | Filter.Mirror, 0 ); It won't compile because [TextureLoader] and [Filter] are unknown.

• Visual Studio Team Explorer - Document attributes

  Hello, I'm writing an add-in for Team Explorer, which adds a menu option to the context menu of the documents of team projects. It loads just fine, works like a charm, but I can't seem to find out how to fetch the URL of the document (just the (screen) name). I'm doing this by accessing the _applicationObject.SelectedItems.Item(1).Name attribute. That's about the only attribute Item seems to have. Any suggestions Muchos thanks, Jourik Feenstra Jourik, unfortunately we do not set ProjectItem or Project properties, so I could not think of way for you to get the document URLs.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ASP.NET And a State Machine Workflow

  I recently read the MSDN magazine article, Windows Workflow Foundation, Part 2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/04/CuttingEdge/), where Dino Esposito demonstrates how to work with workflows in ASP.NET. Dinos' demonstration provides a helpful solution to working with Sequential workflows; however, it left me a little confused with how to work with a State Machine workflow. In the article, Dino demonstrates how to pass parameters to a Sequential workflow by using a Dictionary object, which is then passed as a parameter to the CreateWorkflow() method. The problem is that State Machine workflows pass parameters throug ...Show All
