• Smart Device Development Crash when hosting Windows Media Player ver 10.3 ActiveX control (T-Mobile DASH)

  I am using Alex Feinman's Compact Framework ActiveX host (as described in this MSDN article ). It works great when hosting Media Player versions 10.1 and 10.2, that are available on most WM5 Pocket PCs and Smartphones. For some reason, when trying to instantiate the WMP control on a T-Mobile DASH smartphone, the device UI hangs (every single running application including the home screen). The only difference that I found is that DASH uses a newer version of Media Player -10.3 (mine is build 15097). I was able to trace the problem to a call to InPlaceActivate() -> DoVerb( -5 ....) during the control creation process ( called from TransitionUpTo(..) in AxHost.cs) . Oddly enough, commenting the call to InPlaceActivate(), allows the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Building a Dropdown list with SQL statement

• SQL Server Limiting the Records in SELECT Statement

  Hi.. As everyone knows that there's a keyword in MySQL that is used to limit the records in SELECT statement as SELECT * FROM Table LIMIT 40,10 means that select from record 40 to onward 10 records. In SQL Server it is a long way with nested select ... can someone provide an alternate or we have to use the Nested SELECT Thanks Nested select (technically called a derived table) is the best way to go in SQL. Here are a few articles that cover the subject. http://www.sqlmag.com/Article/ArticleID/43922/sql_server_43922.html http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/amachanic/archive/2004/11/03/4945.aspx http://davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2005/12/30/2652.aspx ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Side Scrolling Chapter Menu

  I'm trying to create a side scrolling chapter menu and was wondering if anyone has solved this riddle script side. Basically I want to scroll through chapter images using left and right arrow buttons, so the menu would start like this: < #1 #2 #3 > Then by clicking on the right arrow button it would then look like this: < #4 #5 #6 > And so on. The version I have built simply replaces the images (#1 replaced with #4, #2 replaced with #5 and so on). But I would love to make them scroll so the new images come in as if they are all on the track moving left and right. I did try to solve the problem be creating on long block of all the chapter images, masked behind a div that was only big enough to show th ...Show All

• .NET Development Delayed Datareader column error

  In a live application which i created, i noticed that after a day or two, i get a datareader error, specifically the error which returns a column name as it's message. i.e if i had written reader["col_name"] i get col_name as the error message. The problem is that i read 5 column names in a single read, and the messages vary, it not always the same column name. However, whenever i restart the server, the problem goes away for another day or two. Recently i increased my max pool size because i was having pooling issues, this had an effect on the datareader error in that it now occurs every 2-3 hours instead of the 1-2 days. pls i need help on this one Thanks Nothing really stands out as ...Show All

• SQL Server Will SQL server 2005 failover clustering still work when the database level is set to 80?

  We want to use sql 2005 failover clustering feature, so that upgrade sql 2000 is necessary. But some of the stored procedures built in 2000 are not working directly in 2005, set the compatibility level to 80 could make them work. In this case, can somebody here tell me if down grade the database level will affect failover clustering running properly e.g. will data still be synchronized properly Thanks in advance. Failover clustering has been in the product for a long time. It's not new to SQL 2005. Also, failover clustering uses shared storage - one copy for all nodes in the cluster - so there's no issue of keeping data in sync. If, on the other hand, you meant Database Mirroring, that is a new feature. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.WindowPane.OnCreate() error

  I get this error when I try to look at Project properties. Anyone with ideas Chris This is noted in the readme that the properties page won't work if installed side-by-side with either VS 2005 or SQL 2005 (due to it being based on VS 2005). The problem is that because the VPC image has TFS installed, it has the SQL Management Studio installed, which causes the conflict. It would be really nice if there was a workaround for this as it's likely to be a few more months (end of april at MIX ) before we see another drop (beta 1 ). --Oren ...Show All
