  This is the error i'm getting. System Update Required Unable to install or run the application.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Automatically Binding Properties at Design Time

  I am hosting the workflow designer for a set of custom activities. With these custom actitivies, the output of one always becomes the input of the next. The validation of the workflow prevents items other than these activities from being present. What I would like to do to improve the user experience of creating these workflows is to automatically bind the output of the previous activity to the input of the next activity. I would prefer to do this at design time so that users who understand more about windows workflow notice that the property has been set but still of the flexability to modify the workflow if they know what they are doing, while users who don't have a clue won't need to understand the internal structure of the workflow. Is ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to change font color on a rich text box on a child MDI form.

  I am trying to write a sample program for school. The program consist of creating a MDI application that when a user clicks the "New" button a child form is created. On this child form, it simply has a rich text box, so basically when you click "New" it makes something that looks like a blank NotePad file. The program is suppose to allow the user to change the Font Face, Size and Color of the active MDI form. I can successfully change the font face and the size, but I am unable to change the font color. I have a simple class file that generates the new child MDI form with the RichTextBox control. When the user clicks the "New" button, it runs the following code: frmTextPad myChildTextPad = ne ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Semi-Transparent bar charts?

  I know that SSRS 2005 has a built-in semi-transparent color chart palette, but I'd like to define my own custom color semi-transparent palette. Brian Welker's blog ( https://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/archive/2005/05/20/420349.aspx) has a terrific post on how to create your own custom color palette, but it generates solid colors. How can it be tweaked to create semi-transparent colors Is there another function that needs to be created to define the transparency of the color palette Thanks in advance, Pete hey pete yeh, not sure what you mean, theres alot of syllables in some of those words. To try to answer your question; i'm using dundas, and the code i supplied directly changes the colour value ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reporting Services Report Viewer Control for VB6

  Hello There. I've got a very simple question. The ReportViewers from Microsoft are based on the .NET-Framework so they can't be used in Visual Basic 6. Are there any other Viewers for ReportingServices (RDL-Files) to bind in an existing VB6.WinApplication Thanks, Tobi Hi Tobias, I was just wondering if you found out anymore about this topic since you have posted it. I would be very interested in such a control as well. Thanks! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Effect framework with ID3DXSPRITE

  I have been suffering from two miserable rendering problems and was wondering if anyone could provide some quick insights. I was rendering to a target and eventually to a full screen quad for post processing reasons and I would get the clear color and no geometry or sprite drawing. I rendered to texture in two different ways to see if that was the problem (i.e. render to surface interface versus Set/GetRenderTarget). Both ways gave me the same result - only the clear color. All of my rendering code is fine since i see everything when i dont render to texture and just use the backbuffer. Drawing a sprite to the screen with the render texture did work, but my other question is does this interface work with the effect framework/programmab ...Show All

• SQL Server Invisible rows after failed syncronization

  Publisher: SQL Server 2000 SP4 Subscriber: SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Sometimes, after a failed merge replication(due to communication error) some rows on the subscriber became invisible for the publisher. I've reproduced a case: [START Short Version] All rows inserted between a comm failed sync and a fine sync became invisible. This seems to be caused because the subscriber keeps generating rows with the same generation number and the publisher doesn't look for this generation anymore.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Online Multiplayer for Xbox360

  Will there be any kind of support for creating multiplayer games over the internet for use on the 360 There's a hugely compact framework for the 360 when you create the project, and nothing about sockets, internet, etc... if we can't make online multiplayer games, huge blow to what we can do on the 360. I will confirm -- there will be no networking API in the first version of the XNA Framework. On Windows, you can use System.Net from the .NET Framework (or some other API), but there will be no equivalent in the Xbox 360's .NET Compact Framework. This is in the FAQ: Q: Does the XNA Framework include the ability to use Xbox Live A: The initial release of the XNA Framework on the Xbox 360 will n ...Show All

• Windows Forms Localization and disappearing toolstripicons

  Hey At the moment I'm building an application which will be available in several languages. When I change the designtime language in the IDE and change some text-properties of several controls the icons of my toolstrip disappear on the default language. So I've got a toolstrip with several buttons. The default language is dutch. When I change the language to english all buttons are intact. But when I switch back to dutch the icons on these buttons are gone... Is this a bug (and is there a fix/workaround ) Thanks in advance Indeed, I only have "Default" and "English" (neutral English) The "Default" language contains the dutch texts since Dutch is the default language.

• Visual Studio Team System Manual Tests

  Ok I have the basic outline for a manual test. What I need to know is how microsoft intended for these to be used across hardware/os variations. Does each variation get its own manual test or is there some other place to denote that this one test must be run against say AMD64/Vista64 Ulitmate and AMD64/Vista32 Ultmate etc. etc. ad infinitum with all the combos Thanks for the answer Dave. I kind of figured that but was hoping for something more. I would like to suggest an idea that there be some type of method of systematically issuing work items for one manual test against multiple supported systems and tracking which configurations have been tested. ...Show All

  can the PDAs communicate with others by the program like 3G phone, with video and voice Yes, it could. There are applications like that on the market already, e.g. from Skype. Of course, it takes a lot of time, effort, experience and expertise to write such an application. I would say team of 10 developers (5+years C++ experience) could do it in a year or so. ...Show All
