• Internet Explorer Development Moving Internet Explorer Toolbards

  How do you move the tool bars in interent explorer 7. When i try and move the Menu bar up or down nothing happens. Trying to get the Menu Bar on top then the URL bar 2nd and so forth but cant seem to move the toolbars. Help pls! Sysinfo: WinXP Media Center on a Toshiba Satellite - IE Version 7.0.5730.11 Um, "Classic" is not an option when I right-click on the toolbar. My choices are Menu bar, Links, Status bar, Lock bars, Icon Large/small and customize command bar. I need the Menu bar back on top due to special behaviors when you tap the corners of the touchpad on a laptop. I despise this change. It did nothing to create more web page real estate. The bars take up the same amount of spac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Conditional Breakpoints on Managed Object IDs

  During the betas of Whidbey I remember that there was a way to generate an object ID that could then be used in a conditional breakpoint. Dang if I can't find how to generate that object ID now. Was the feature pulled If not, where is it hidden You can generate an object ID by going to Locals or Watch window, selecting the variable and choosing Make Object ID from context menu. The ID (e.g. 1#) can then be specified in breakpoint conditions. Azeem Khan Visual Studio Debugger. ...Show All

• Windows Forms what do I do if I want some code to execute after the installation

  Where do I put it pls Thanks While Setup Projects offer far more customizability over a ClickOnce installer, they still leave much of the power of MSI outside of your reach... you may want to look into some custom code within the overall process ... even if it does not occur at the absolute end. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX8 and Vista Compatibility

  (split from http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1221168  to make a new question) It is interesting that you say that because I am testing a VB6 app that was working fine on XP and below but now fails on Vista when it tries to create a DirectX8 object, specifically Set oDX = new DirectX8 throws Error 429, ActiveX failed to create component. Running in XP SP2 compatibility mode does not work either. I would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this.  I also tried running the latest DX9 redistributable because I heard that was providing backward compatibility, but to no avail. Thanks. I have read on this forum and elsewhere that Vista supports earli ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When I throw exception from a server, the server crashes!

  For example when the login fails, I throw the exception, but it seems that the server itself crashes! Do I need to do Duplex It sounds like the behavior you are seeing is expected. If you want to transmit the full exception information back to the client, you can turn in IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/WCF_Mref/html/T_System_ServiceModel_Description_ServiceDebugBehavior.asp for information on this. This would enable client to see the type of the exception and the exception message that happened on the server. (Note the security risks of sending this info to the client.) The client will receive a FaultException<ExceptionDetail>, but it will have all the info ...Show All

• .NET Development vjslib - not part of the default 2.0 Framework distribution?

  We're integrating code from a 3rd party library into our project. That 3rd party library makes use of components in vjslib. When we tried to test our program on a machine that did not have Visual Studio 2005 installed the program failed - missing dll type message. We traced the failure back to a missing vjslib. Each of our developer machines has that dll, so apparently it is installed with Visual Studio 2005. But the library apparently is not included in the .Net 2.0 Framework installation that would be used by non-developers. Can the library be redistributed Is any special configuration required on machines to which we distribute this dll Or is it enough to place the dll in the same directory with all the other .Net 2.0 components ...Show All

• SQL Server Limitation of # cubes inside a base Analysis Services

  Does anyone have any idea which is the limitation of # cubes inside a base Analysis Services, because I created 50 cubes, and when I tried to connect to the base, i was enable to do that because the CPU was at 100 %. I think that is a problem when analysis services tried to read the xmla and print all the cubes. Tks Well. There is a point where number of cubes and size of your data requre you to go and get a bigger machine. It would be wrong to assume you can create any number of cubes and expect from Analysis Services not to use more CPU or memory trying to handle them all. The question what is reasonable. If you think that you got poweful machine with multiple processors and fast I/O and you see Analysis S ...Show All

• SQL Server Feasibility of Filtering in this Scenario...

  Background: I'm a young developer working on a project that involves merge replication between SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition and SQL Server 2005 and I've been having a hard time wrapping my head around exactly how to implement the best filters for the subscription(s) and publication(s). Users of our application are Auction goers who collect data about AuctionItems in a mobile db and sync that information with a central db once he or she is finished. The central db is, obviously, pre-populated with most of the information about any/all AuctionItems. Central db information is available to view/change via web access. Multiple users can change the same Auction data so there will be overlapping partitions. What I would like to do is: Present ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem saving/retrieving unicode characters NVARCHAR with unicode collation (java jdbc)

  I'm connecting to a SQL Server 2005 database using the latest (beta) sql server driver (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1 CTP June 2006) from within Java (Rational Application Developer). The table in SQL Server database has collation Latin1_General_CI_AS and one of the columns is a NVARCHAR with c ollation Indic_General_90_CI_AS. This should be a Unicode only collation. However when storing for instance the following String: €_￡_UUUUuuuu_AAOaaos￡CcNn_ _ _ _ . .. it is saved with for all unicode characters as follows (when looking in the database): €_￡_UUUUuuuu_AAOaaos￡CcNn_ _ _ _ The above is not correct, since all unicode characters should still be visible.
