• Liu Hua SHaring Data on PC and across the Local network

  So after about 30 setups my application actually installs on windows vista now. If you haven't tried to install a database on vista yet that can be shared amongst 2 or more users on the same machine you just haven't lived <g>. Its really fun! If you want a fun test, try to take a simple microsoft access database and install it on a windows vista machine so that 2 users can read and write to it. Despite days of work, hours of cussing and many posts on the msdn forums with other angry developers with this same issue, we actually managed to get this to work. We placed our database in a subfolder of the system defined Microsoft Common Application Data folder (CSIDL_Common_AppData) like so c:\programdata\[applicationname] ...Show All

Basically, when I print an XPS document I want to be able to select the papertray on a page by page basis. For example: My document contains 2 pages.

• Peter Richard whats windows sideshow?

  what is it and what are its uses havent come across it anywhere :S Hi, Windows SideShow is a new technology in Windows Vista to allow external devices to display and interact with information distributed by the PC. The type of device or the way it the data is transported does not matter (bluetooth, WiFi, USB). The way the device displays the data also does not matter. A Windows SideShow gadget developer writes a gadget that can execute on these devices. The developer does not need to target a specific type of device but if the SideShow specification is followed then any Windows SideShow gadget will work on any Windows SideShow device.

• sanjeevm Multiple NTVDM.exe

  I work for a corporation(TimeManagement Corporation) that uses a 16 bit application that runs in the virtual dos machine. Two years ago Microsoft released a security patch(MS04-012) that caused each new 16-bit file to open in it's own ntvdm thus not allowing our 16-bit application to communicate with other files that it calls. We contacted Microsoft about this but it was not taken care of until we posted on a forum. They then released a hotfix(KB841559) to fix this issue. We are now having the same problem with MS Windows Vista and would like to know if we can get a fix for this issue to allow our program to be compatable again. No way to upgrade to a 32bit version Win3.11 code is really ancient, dont you ...Show All

• khld Help me set up .NET 3.0 development on virgin PC

  Oh, the combinations I've tried...! I've got a new PC, fresh install of XP Pro SP2. I ran through the recommended steps with the goal of running the WCF Getting Started sample project, but have failed to get it to run without error.

Can anyone make corrections 1. Install IIS 5.1 (from Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components) 2.

• scharland ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft.public.platformsdk.security&cat=en-us-msdn-windev-winsdk&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catli ...Show All
