• MarkWHarrison Indexing a mapped network drive for WDS 3.0

  I have recetly installed WDS 3.0 over WDS 2.6.5. I cannot select a network drive to index in the "change selected locations" menu under options. I have also mapped a network drive, and I still cannot select it under the "change selected locations" menu under options to index it. How do I select a folder or a network drive to add to folders to be indexed Have you installed the UNC add-in Once the add-in is installed a new tab will appear that says "Add UNC Location". Then you can type \\servername\sharename . From what I can tell you have to use share names, you can not use mapped drives. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx amp;amp;displaylang=en&familyid= ...Show All

• Steve Graber Custom Pipeline Deployment Issues

  Hi, I have developed quite a few custom pipeline components for our Commerce Server 2007 application and I'm trying to move the application to the TEST machine.. When I run a pipeline, it fails to initialize because it says it can't find the component. here's what I did: On my development box, I have a single project with multiple cs files containing the ComVisible and ProgID attributes, so when I build my solution on the development box, I get ONE single tlb and dll file containing all components. On my development machine, after building the solution, I was able to use the PipeReg.exe tool and use the ProgID that I defined in each .cs file to register the component. It would find it, I would add it to all stages, and when finished, ...Show All

• m.shuhrat OTP Windows Desktop Search 3.0

  Any ideas as to how you would remove Windows Desktop Search 3.0 Thanks, but I can't seem to find that folder. I do have "show hidden files" turned on. There is this folder "$hf_mig$" that has some KB____ folders, but none of them are 917013. I even redownloaded and reinstalled WDS 3.0, and it installed succesfully, but I still can't find that folder. dav7id3 wrote: Got it fixed after reading a post in the development forum. deleting something in the registry and reinstalling WDS 3.0 got it to show up in add/remove programs and it uninstalled fine. Thanks for the help though. Would you be able to outline what it was you did in the registry ...Show All

• Klgsx IE7 drops header

  My website www.apnaonline.ca looks fine in IE6, it shows the header fine, but in IE7 the header title is gone. Can anyone tell me why Thanks, Geoserv. I was able to fix this issue. In my CSS below: #header{ clear:both; margin:5px 0 0 0; padding:0; height:5px; } I removed : height:5px; and now it renders properly in IE7/FF/IE6. Why won't IE7 render height like all other browsers I hope we aren't headed to another range of CSS hacks. Geoserv. ...Show All

• M Stafford How to make search companion default while using wds 3

  Hi, I installed WDS 3 and to my surprise I found the option to make search companion the default search in explorer missing and wds pops up whenever I select the search from windows. In my opinion, both have its own place as WDS still lags behind in many aspects and with limited choices. Yes, there is a choice to use search companion, but I dont want WDS to pop up when I hit search. I've uninstalled wds 3 and went back to 2.6.5. If somebody has any idea, pls let me know or else please take this as a request to re-introduce the option back. Thanks Hi there! I really hope that someone could answer this post. I really prefer Search Companion, especially since many of my folders aren't indexed. I ho ...Show All

• FaWei Secure Data Organizer - A Free Password Manager Written in .NET 2.0

  Hi all, I've been working in .NET ever since the pre-RTM 1.0 release for my Master's Thesis. I continue to code in many languages but have been working on a pet project on the side called Secure Data Organizer. This is a free program that marks the culmination of several years of design and effort .It is a Password Manager but was designed to be the best one out there. Ease of use (even at the expense of developer pain) was a driving development principle, as was native and intuitive GUI, human-readable XML file format, and public disclosure of encryption algorithms and techniques. I released it as freeware to the web back in late November. Since then, we've grown to over 1,300 registered users--a nice starting userbase! Our big b ...Show All

• Ron L Decimal entry limitation in the catalog

  Hello, We need to enter scientific data in our catalog. One of the value is 0.000025. When creating a property, I would like to use a decimal datatype and set the minimum value to something like 0.000000. But for some reason when I save the property it revert back the minimum value to 0.00. And when I try to type in the data value of 0.000025 it actually saves it as 0.00. Is this a limitation of CS 2007 catalog Thanks, Patrick I found the solution. The format of display is controlled by the regional settings. Cheers! ...Show All

• teamels WDS Deskbar *Badly* Encroached On Taskbar Real Estate - Fix? (Toasted WDS Meantime)

  A user wanted *less* WDS & Language space (actually, much less) used on her Taskbar and *more* for open Window tabs, but everytime I removed something (e.g. microphone icon), WDS Deskbar expanded in size. At the end, it was taking an incredible ~50% of Taskbar space and thus quickly crowding Taskbar window tabs to almost no width, and to a second row - i.e. doing exactly the opposite of what the user wanted :-(. I didn't have time to investigate much - just tried Help (search not available) and then a quick online search, and when solution was not quickly apparent, I uninstalled WDS. The user's now happy (I installed Google Desktop Search, which is easily configured to take zero real estate until <cntl><cntl>), but I ...Show All

• David N.4117 SaveProjectAs

  Ok...After hearing some complaints on this these boards about not having a "Project Save As" that saves the entire project to a new destination and name...I created this addin for VS05 that does just that. The addin creates a 'Save Project As' menu item off of the file menu and allows the user to select a VB or C# project file and then select a new destination directory and a new name for the project. All standard dialogs used. you can download the xcopy deployment files from: http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/SaveProjectAs The zip file contains two files: SaveProjectAs.AddIn and SaveProjectAs.dll and all you have to do to get it to work is to unzip the files into your addin directory...

• Slimer74 Window pops up behind parent window

  Hello, I'm opening a popup window with Javascript as follows: <script language="Javascript"> function openWin() { window.open('somePage.html', 'newWindow', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=375,height=325'); } </script> <a href=openWin()">click to open window</a> Usually the window opens fine, in front of the parent window, but sometimes it opens up behind the parent window, and users don't know that the window opened up at all. This only occurs intermittently, and only in IE7. I have never encountered this problem in IE6. I do not have any idea what is causing this problem because I seem to be doing the same thing each time. ...Show All

• killfr0g stopping piracy and establishing trust

  i have been thinking of a way to prevent piracy of programs i make and i came up with what I think is a solution that will help not only me but others by stopping piracy and establishing trust. A system simular to code signing but without the big price tag. I am still working on details but input is appriciated, this trust solution could be used to detect counterfiet software, as well it can be used to identify a small software publisher as a "trustable" source for honest software which is spyware/virus free. Just make sure it is not like Star Force that ends up making legal copy un-useable. It really sucks when I buy a legal copy a game and end up unable to play it because piracy protection sof ...Show All

• Alex cai Is the new java goin to nail down .net ???

  hello guys , One of my frnds told me that the new java is goin to nail down .net.Is this true Regards jr Web Developer www.iitjobs.com Example of "successful" java app: LimeWire: Slow + Ugly. Java has always had a sizable lead over .NET. I doubt the new version is going to change that unless they really messed it up... "Though they are few and far between..." Quoted for truth. I can't portray that I know all too much about java, but from my personal experience with the language (2 courses) I can honestly say that .NET runs circles around Java. The only thing that Java has a leg up on .NET with is the multiplatform preference... nobugz wrote: ...Show All
