• Visual Basic DataSet Designer - Not able to use "GenerateDBDirectMethods" when using Stored Procedures problem

  Hi! When using the dataset designer, I sometimes run into a relatively annoying problem. Scenario 1: I drop a datatable from the server explorer. In the wizard, I go back one step and tell it to generate the procedures for me. When I ge to the step where I can check "GenerateDBDirectMethods", I can do so. Everything works fine. Scenario 2: I have pre-prepared stored procedures. I drop a datatable from the server explorer. In the wizard I go back one step and tell it to use existing stored procedures. When I reach the step where I should be able to check "GenerateDBDirectMethods", I cannot. I also cannot set the property to True in the datas ...Show All

• Visual C# Look for file in subdirectoy

  I know that when you create a .txt file or open one, without specifying a directory, that a c# program will look in its Debug directory for that file, or whatever directory the .exe happens to be in.. i think. How do I tell it to look in a subdirectoy of that debug directory I do not want to specify an exact location like "c:\dirctory\sub-directory" I just want it to look in a subdirectory in the default directory. I tried tellin it  to open the file like this "\subdirectory\file.txt" but that did not work. Any help thanks... try this: if (File.Exists("subdirectory\\file.txt")) {..} or FileInfo fi = ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I need some spiritual DirectX guidance.

  I've been learning from a book titled Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus by Andre' Lamothe. It's outdated using DirectX 7.0a SDK, and I believe his second volume creates software rasterization with DirectX 8.0 SDK. I really enjoy his books because it is very in depth and low leveled. My question is should I continue reading it if I'm geared on becoming a professional in graphics Since 60% of our life is maintaining and upgrading previous games/multimedia, especially MMORPG games that have a long life, you'd be working with older SDK versions, no matter if it's DirectX or not. The idea is to learn this now and migrate over to D ...Show All

• Visual C# Future C# string optimization directions

  This is a topic of academic interest to me.  Are there any plans to optimize code patterns such as: string results = ...; bool foundSomething = results.ToLower().Contains( "something" ) ) Here, I'm making a case-insensitive search and it seems that ToLower() is an unnecessary use of CPU cycles and memory accesses.  One possible solution, which isn't very extensible, is for ToLower() to do a lazy-copy: it will first make a reference to the input string and add a "use-lower-case" bit.  Contains() uses this bit to do the case-insensitive compare on the original string.  Brian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Setting up Alerts

  My install (single-server) of Team System was very smooth, except for a small glitch that I received when I inputted my smtp server.  It stated that it could not connect to the smtp server, however, I was able to ping it without any problem. I thought it might correct itself, but when I try to set up the alerts, nothing ever gets sent. First of all, is there a place where I can update the smtp setting for Team System   Also, if it tries to send an alert, but can't... does it save an error anywhere I would like to look at the error logs to see if anything is trying to send. Any other gotcha's on the alert functionality Thanks, ~sl ...Show All

• Visual C++ CFileDialog.DoModal() Crashes When Hint box is about to appear.

  I have a strange crashing problem in an application developed on Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition. The crash comes during a function call to CFileDialog.DoModal(). The problem seems to relate to the "hint" box that appears if you let the mouse pointer linger over a file. If the mouse pointer registers over a file with an unregistered file type, then a hint box appears indicating the file type (e.g. ".slg file"). You then open the file with no problem. If you then go to open a file again using the same CFileDialog.DoModal() function and let the pointer linger over the file, then after a few seconds, just as the hint ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Making Targets conditional to Debug build

  Hi, I am attempt to execute some targets only on my Debug build, but I want to build both Debug and Release. My attempt was to use target's Condition attribute with %(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild) == 'Debug' eval'd. The result was the following error: TFSBuild.proj(188,31): error MSB4116: The condition "%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild) == 'Debug'" on the "UpdateSprocs" target has a reference to item metadata. References to item metadata are not allowed in target conditions unless they are part of an item transform. I can't come up with another approach and was hoping someone else had one. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Site and solutions and source control

  We are used to treat asp.net projects as any other projects - in terms of having a project file, association with source control, references / references paths, build options for files, etc. Now with the new and improved WebSite paradigm it's been succesfully dumbed down to the level of a collection of perl scripts, with apparent ugly workarounds like attempt to use a web.config file as a half-baeked project file to store references and stuff; hard-coded "special-purpose" directory names for resources, etc. BTW if someone knows how to defeat this bunch-of-files-in-directory approach please let us know. Now back to the issue at hand ...Show All
