Hi all, I have a problem to get Two nxt up in a single project file.... What I have done is following the LegoMotorSamle: http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.LEGOMotorSample And I success to control the 3 motor... By following the step... I create a new manifest file which consist of 6 motor and 2 bricks 3 motor connect to the COM40 brick and 3 motor connect to the COM41 brick... Then I extend the partner list like this: *********** ************* motor:MotorA40 *********** *********** ************* motor:MotorB40 *********** *********** ************* motor:MotorC40 *********** *************** *********** *********** *********** ************* motor:MotorA41 *********** *********** ************* motor:MotorB41 *********** *********** ************* motor:MotorC41 *********** In the Project side... I link it up like this : *[Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorA40", *********** Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, *********** Optional = false, *********** CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorA40 = new motor.MotorOperations(); ******* [Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorB40", *********** Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, *********** Optional = false, *********** CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorB40 = new motor.MotorOperations(); ******* [Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorC40", *********** Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, *********** Optional = false, *********** CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorC40 = new motor.MotorOperations(); ******* [Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorA41", ********* Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, ********* Optional = false, ********* CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorA41 = new motor.MotorOperations(); ******* [Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorB41", *********** Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, *********** Optional = false, *********** CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorB41 = new motor.MotorOperations(); ******* [Partner(motor.Contract.Identifier + ":MotorC41", *********** Contract = legomotor.Contract.Identifier, *********** Optional = false, *********** CreationPolicy = PartnerCreationPolicy.UsePartnerListEntry)] ******* private motor.MotorOperations _motorC41 = new motor.MotorOperations(); It is just similar to the sample...* But the problem is, when I try something like: *************************** _motorA40.SetMotorPower(new motor.SetMotorPowerRequest(1.0)); *************************** _motorB41.SetMotorPower(new motor.SetMotorPowerRequest(1.0)); so that COM40's MotorA and COM41's MotorB should be at power 1... But the result is only COM40's Motor A and Motor B will rotate... That is... the _motorB41 still pointing to the COM40's motor..... I have due with this problem quite a few day already.... can someone tell me what wrong is it? Thanks~ More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

FF3 is getting neat everyday. :) but, one thing I still don't understand what is the meaning of "Block pop-up windows" in the options/Content tab? even where exception list is empty. Pop-ups still appears :( :s :@ http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/9708/mff3b5qf4.jpg More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hello Everyone! The table has a field "JobDate" as datetime datatype. This table has more than 1000 records. There is one stored procedure which takes the date & time as IN paramater and retrievs the data which match the criteria. The problem is... in the GUI the selection on the date is made by 3P datetime control which sets the textbox the date depending on the logged in user's location's date time format and we have some 15 formats... :D. So to make SP understand the format, I can't send the custom format as it is from the GUI into the SP and convert/cast the values inside the SP. No matter which format it is selected, I have to send one common format which SP understands irrespective of the logged-in user's location date/time format. My need is... how I can achieve this? How I can make it one common format inside the logic and get the data properly? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Me and my team just completed our 2D WiiMote and/or Keyboard controlled game. We had 16 weeks, as part of a project management course in the B.IT program at carleton university. The project is available on codeplex As time was severely limited (this was only one component of a large course, which was part of a full course load) we didn't get all the features we wanted into it. The game is written in C# targetting .NET 2.0 and using the DirectX managed library. Please download and give it a shot, and give us*some feedback*if you have a WiiMote and bluetooth you can control one player with it. I am proud of what we accomplished, my team (besides myself) *had never even heard of C# before this term, and i'd never written a game or used DirectX in any capacity. you can also learn about some of our basics here* here is a gameplay video http://channel9.msdn.com/Photos/399354.jpg Download the project More...

AJAX & browser scroll positioning Hi, I have a problem with a current project and the scroll position. I have an AJAX enabled website using Visual Studio 2005 and ASP.Net 2.0. The project also uses masterpages. On the page in question, there is a search section in an AJAX update panel, situated on the left hand side.* Upon submitting criteria and pressing a button, the results are displayed on the right hand side of the page. On the right hand side of the page, there is another AJAX Update Panel.* Within this Ajax Update Panel there are 2 standard asp.net panels.* Only 1 of these two standard asp.net panels is ever displayed at any one time.* The first of the standard panels is used to display the list of results. When a user selects an item from the list of results to view in full detail, the first standard asp.net panel is made Invisible, and second standard asp.net panel is then made visible, which displays the details of the selected item. So, the way the two standard asp.net panels (that are contained with the AJAX update panel) work is like a master-detail relationship between the list of results and the details for a particular, selected item. All of this works fine apart from one aspect. If the user has scrolled down to an item near the bottom of the list of results, when they select the item to view and the second asp.net panel is then displayed, the browser is still in the same position.* This means that the user is then looking half-way down the details, which is obviously not acceptable. Note: when I say “scrolled down” I mean using the browser scroller – no DIV scrollers are used etc. What I want to happen is that when the asp.net panel containing the detail is displayed, the browser position should be positioned so that it is at the top of the page. However, the user can also click a “back to results” link when looking at the details.* If this is clicked, then when the panel containing the results is then displayed again, I need the browser to reposition back to where it was originally (i.e., just before the user clicked to view the details of a particular item in the results list). I’ve looked around in some books and on the web, but the solutions I’ve found there don’t work for this scenario.* Of course, we are mainly dealing here with the implications of AJAX and partial page postbacks (for the Update panel). The site needs to work in IE6, IE7 and (ideally) Firefox. I would appreciate any help on this because a lack of a solution might mean going right back to the drawing board. Many thanks, Darren More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Hello to all, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for quite some time now. It seems I am not able to install a .cab file to the storage card! I am using VS2005 to create a CAB project. At the left you have a View that shows the files to be installed. The root dir is named 'File System on Target Device', which I do not know if this is the cause of my troubles. Upon installation, the installer asks where to place the application, I choose 'Storage Card' but alas, it is installed on the device. Does anyone know what possibly might be wrong? If anyone has a test CAB project that can do the trick can he describe the steps involved? Thank you very much! More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds
