Where have the language tracks gone?

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 23:20:19 Z

I was just about to point someone to some parts of the C# programmers track and I've only just noticed they've gone! Only have Web, Mobile and Sharepoint tracks left. What happened Zach?

Declaring public property in XAML C# code-behind

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:40:37 Z

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, but I've been following the resources attached to this place, as I am trying to build my skills in C#, XAML, and Silverlight in general - attending PDC09 inspired me to really explore where Microsoft's tools can bring me as a developer, and I'm hoping I can find some support here as I continue learning :)

Anyway, let me cut to the chase - I'm familiar with declaring variables in C#, but I came across the following code snippet, which claimed to define a "public property" within a C# code-behind file -

public string FileName
{
           // FBCTextBox is a TextBox defined in XAML

           get { return FBCTextBox.Text; }
           set { FBCTextBox.Text = value; }
}

As far as i can tell, though, this looks more like a method, and I'm not even sure how "get" and "set" works, as they're commands in C# that I'm not familiar with. Can anyone care to explain this piece of code?

How to SET TRAP for onMouseDown event dynamically?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:51:29 Z

Greetings:

User wants to create visual controls with a click or two.

Never know (at design time) which control type and or how many of each.

Programatically i want to create a visual control (maybe button or trackbar) .

Then i want to dynamically create a onMouseDown event trap for that control.

The create control part i can do for button, edit and label.

But how to set the trap is still a mystery to me.

Source code in C+(preferably) would be a great help.

Thanks...vmars316

Learning to use SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 with VB Express Edition

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:14:36 Z

I was trying to create a database using SSCE 3.5 according to steps in Learning VB. The instructions say that I should be able to copy the data in the Northwind database Customers table to the clipboard and then into a Customers table in a sample database. When I try to paste the data from the clipboard to the database, nothing works! The paste option is disabled in the dialog box whether I try to use the menu bar or a context menu. I can paste the data to Word with no problem. Does this only work with the full Visual Studio and not with VS Express Edition?

Query regarding GetClipBox

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:59:13 Z

In one of the programs that I'm using, it seems that GetClipBox is returning a wrong value. While debugging this, I read some MSDN pages and concluded something. My conclusion is in form of a statement below. Please comment wether it looks right or not.

GetClipBox() = GetClipRgn() + GetRgnBox()

Please comment.

How can I parameterize the values which were auto generated

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:41:59 Z

I'm using VSTS 2008 for my performance executions. How can I parameterize the values which were auto generated?

I did a manual test and identified that some values updated in the DB according to the sequential order, therefore I parameterized those values through the CSV file and tried to update those values in the database while running the Load test.

If we insert the invalid values in the CSV file (not to the sequential order). System gets crushed after running the Load test. Because that, I’m trying to update an invalid numbers into the DB.

Is there any way to parameterize the auto generated values?

Hello,

I am a newbie to Microsoft technologies, though I can program in C++ and C#. I need to write an app to simulate traffic on a freeway. A general architecture of the app is as followed: part of the screen displays a road with moving cars, the other part has controls to allow user to zoom-in (the road), adjust numerous traffic parameters. The scenary surrounding the freeway do not change. However cars's position are changed and the display needs update one a second.

What is the technology with the least ramp-up time to use for this?

Regardless of ramp-up time, what is the best technology to use for this?

A great many thanks!

How can we parameterize the random numbers, which was generated from the application

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:06:57 Z

Hi friend,

I am using VSTS 2008. Have some questions regarding parameterize, if you can please help.

Can we parameterize the random numbers, which was generated from the application?

As example:

In my webtest, VSTS tool recorded the Query String Parameters under ‘jsp’ files, as below

--https://abc.com/keepsessionAlive.jsp

--QueryString Parameters

---rand123 = 1234567

In our application, both ‘rand123’ and ‘1234567’ values get changed in every run.

If I want to run this webtest for 10 concurrent users, so how can I generate this random values via the tool?

Buttons on second form dont work

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:05:03 Z

Hey, im working on a project the moment and i need help regarding multiple forms
The project uses two forms to load data from an external file the second form (the one i need help with)

The second form has a text box on it in which the user types in the filepath of the external file then clicks on the button to add it to the list of files. I set up a message box to appear when the button is clicked to confirm when it is added but nothing happens

Can anyone help with this?

The code for the second form is below:

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class DialogAdd


    Dim Filepath As String


    Private Sub Cancel_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmd_cancelLoad.Click
        Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub cmd_AddScen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmd_AddScen.Click
        
    End Sub
End Class

And this is the code for the button that loads the second form

Private Sub cmd_Load_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmd_Load.Click
        DialogAdd.Show()
    End Sub

Anyony can help me out?

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 00:53:57 Z

Hi guys. I am new to .net programming. Although I have quite a good experience with plain old basic, C++, it is only recently that I decided I wanna be a developer.
Can anyone please give me an assistance on where to start? Cause I tried that ramp-up track on web development and it seems too easy so far (now that I have reached the second chapter in 20 minutes). Like any good books out there, maybe some opensource learning projects for the beginners (although not dummies in programmming).
Thanx.

Screen Rectangle Glitch in Screen Saver

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:18:41 Z

Hello. Every one this is my first time using a forum. A problem I'm having is with a screen saver I'm building. What it's supposed to do is mainly prevent Screen Burn by creating rectangles on the screen that randomly flips through colors. It can also play music selected by the user. The configuration dialog configures the amount of rectanges on both X and Y axes of the screen, the music file to play, and whether to loop the audio or not. It's perfect acept for one flaw. After it displays a specif amount of squares it goes completely white. The more squares the user picks the sooner it goes blank. The audio still works but the screen goes blank! I'm working on this in the C Language, using an older version of Dev-C++ compiler. I've tested it on Windows Vista and Windows Xp and got the same results. If any one could help I'd be very much obliged.

about sendto(...) function

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:28:39 Z

Hi, I went through the library and what caught my interest was the sendto function and i did copy the source code and complied in my dev c++ complier and did some error checking and found out that it was not working... i mean that it was returning a -1 value which meant that it was not working during execution.

i also tried setsockopt function but could not make it to work...

So please could some one give me a advice or anything to this regard... by the way i am just a beginner....

here is the source code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
//#include "winsock2.h"

int main() {

WSADATA wsaData;
SOCKET SendSocket;
sockaddr_in RecvAddr;
int Port = 1123;
char SendBuf[1024];
int BufLen = 1024;

//---------------------------------------------
// Initialize Winsock
WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData);

//---------------------------------------------
// Create a socket for sending data
SendSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
if(SendSocket == INVALID_SOCKET)
{
cout << endl << SendSocket << endl << endl;
}
//---------------------------------------------
// Set up the RecvAddr structure with the IP address of
// the receiver (in this example case "123.456.789.1")
// and the specified port number.
RecvAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
RecvAddr.sin_port = htons(Port);
RecvAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_BROADCAST;//inet_addr("255.255.255.255");

//---------------------------------------------
// Send a datagram to the receiver
printf("Sending a datagram to the receiver...\n");
int broadcast = 1;
if(setsockopt(SendSocket, IPPROTO_UDP , SO_BROADCAST,
   (char*)INADDR_BROADCAST,sizeof(INADDR_BROADCAST)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
   {
    printf("setoptError:: %d",WSAGetLastError());
}


int x = sendto(SendSocket,
    SendBuf,
    BufLen,
    0,
    (SOCKADDR *) &RecvAddr,
    sizeof(RecvAddr));

printf("\nSendto Failed == %d :: %d\n",x,WSAGetLastError());
    if(WSAGetLastError() == WSAEACCES)
   {
    printf("set error:::%d\n",WSAGetLastError());
}

//---------------------------------------------
// When the application is finished sending, close the socket.
printf("Finished sending. Closing socket.\n");
closesocket(SendSocket);

//---------------------------------------------
// Clean up and quit.
printf("Exiting.\n");
WSACleanup();
getch();
return 0;

New to MS Visual Sourcesafe and not sure what is required to start from scratch

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:11:44 Z

I'm a new user and need to determine how to implement Visual sourcesafe 2005 to my needs.

Is Visual sourcesafe standalone? I see references that it requires visual studio which I do not need.

I'm basically using this as a CM tool, there are other alternative, but this is what I have to work with. I'll have 4 PCs connected via a LAN to a server using remote profiles. Do I need to install Visual sourcesafe on each PC, so I need 4 licenses/boxes? Or do I need one box with a admin install and 3 clients (client SW included in the one box?) Does sourcesafe include the tools to create a database without having one prior? I'll be using this to maintain file CM on files of different extensions and not for extensive coding purposes but may in the future.

If someone can explain the implementation and what is required that would be helpful. Unfortunatly I'm new to this software since MS bought it.
