• Software Development for Windows Vista Requesting Admin Rights without COM

  I have been trying to read over many of the articles concerning elevated priviledges in an application, but am a bit lost.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/ietechcol/dnwebgen/protectedmode.asp http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679687.aspx Those two of the main articles I have been trying to understand.  I know I can create a COM class that is defined in the registry and set it's elevation values there, then create it through CreateInstance.  The first article I am almost completely lost on (maybe it doesn't have anything to do with what I want ). Here's my situtation, I have a program that wants to write to registry, save files, etc, but can't do it without ad ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Why does ActiveSync 4.0 Spontaneously Disconnect?

  After upgrading to ActiveSync 4.0, I notice that ActiveSync spontaneously drops the connection after a couple of minutes, even though the device (Audiovox SMT5600) remains connected to the USB. I've reverted to v3.8 and this no longer happens, so this is obviously a v4.0 issue.   Any ideas   - Joe Geretz - Maybe I should open a new thread, but this looks appropriate. Situation: I had to install Vista Ultimate x64 I installed Visual Studio 2005, SP1. Both in Italian. I could not install the "Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista " because it is available only for English. To work with my PDA, I installed "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista (AMD64)". I'm ab ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Alias of non-domain user

  I created an additional (non-domain) user to TFS via the ALLOWEDVALUES definition in the bug.xml description. When I run a report that shows bugs by user (Alias member), then for this Person its full name is shown. In the dbo.Person table of TfsWarehouse this Person has value 'NULL' for its Domain and the Alias is identical to the Person value. The email field is also set to the Person value. I tried to change the Alias value and Email value but it seemed as if this was reverted back to its original values after some time. Is it possible to set Alias and Email values for non-domain users Thanks. Hi Paso, I have another idea. You can add a new discipline field to your work item types and make it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Compact framework 1.1

  Hi, I'm trying to spin off a new process by doing something like this: ProcessStartInfo s = new ProcessStartInfo(ExeName); s.Arguements = CmdLine; Process.Start(s); I have included the proper using directives that msdn said, and the types are fine in a windows enviroment, but when I use it on Compact Framework 1.1 it isn't recognized, is there something similar I can use to create a new thread, I cannot update this device to CF 2.0 moved thread to appropriate forum I don't think you can do this in .NET CF 1.0 (there was no 1.1), but only in .NET CF 2.0 You may have to PInvoke, Create a process using CreateProcess() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcecoreos5/html/wce50lrfcreatepr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to maintain data consistency?

  Our server application performs transactional table updates to maintain data consistency. Synchronization framework, however, enumerates inserts, updates and deletes in separate queries, so it is possible for server application to perform several updates inbetween, which leads to inconsistent data on the client (to simulate this you can insert a delay into SyncProgress event handler). Is there a way to command framework to lock tables during synchronization Good News! SQL Server 2005 SP2, shipped yesterday, has a simple fix for the consistency issue. Check out all the details here . Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Smart Aggregation

  I'm having problems implementing the following in reporting services 2005. My hierarchy looks like this (just to illustrate the problem...): University->Student->Exam My query returns the following fields: University,Student,StudentPayment,ExamName,ExamScore I need to create a report that will show the hierarchy and to smartly aggregate the StudentPayment to both the Student and the University levels. The problem is that the StudentPayment field is being multiplied by the number of exams in the upper level aggregation. If only I could set the granularity level of the StudentPayment measurement... Note that I don't have access to the query, so I can't change anything on that front. Thanks, Efi ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Transactions 101

  I want to truncate a table (remove all of its data) using an "Execute SQL task" and then populate that table using a Data Flow task. In case of failure, I want to "rollback" the table to its state prior to its truncation. Can this be done using SSIS Transaction support or is that support aimed exclusively at sql-based flows TIA, barkingdog barkingdog wrote: I see, but after running more tests I found that putting the Execute SQL and DataFlow (INSERT records) task in the same transaction (in the same container) often led to blocking. Still, not too useful and end result. TIA, Barkingdog Exactly. In the past I have seen the same prob ...Show All

• SQL Server Fastest connection method?

  I am trying to find some info on the fastest connection transport for an app that is running on the same box as a SQL 2005 instance. The app does a large number of updates (high volume of data).. win32 using native ODBC. I am trying to find info on which connection mechanism is best... socket, pipes, etc. I read somewhere that there is a file mapped method available but i cannot find info on that either. Also, is there any performance difference between the old SQL OCBD drive and the new SQL Native Client OCBD drive Thanks. For best performance, I recommend you use the SQL Native Client ODBC driver with SQL 2005. I would also recommend you use TCP/IP as the transport. Regards, Uwa. ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLDataAdapter gets a "General Network Error" only on the server

  My application, for the purpose of resolving this problem, is a windows console application. It connects to Oracle and gets data into a OracleDataAdapter and Dataset. It connects to a SQL server and runs simple queries, deletes, and updates ok. However, when I attempt to perform an action like da.Fill(ds,"TableName") I get the General Network Error, even though I am using an existing open connection to the database. The query that returns the data is fairly complex but the error occurs even when only one rrecord should be returned. I am using Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False; etc in the connection string The error occurs even using an admin account. Heres the gotcha, it works fine for me when I run it on my ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to only show one instance of a form

  Been having some issues showning only 1 instance of a form (for each of it's parents). The difference here is have classes with classes and a want a single instance of a form for each class not just a single instance of the form for the whole application. Here is the structure of the app MainForm (GUI) ServerClass ServerGeneralForm (GUI) DatabaseClass For each MainForm I will have mulitple Serverclass's and for each ServerClass I will only have one ServerGeneralForm but because I have muliple ServerClass's on the screen I could have muliple ServerGeneralForm (1 for each).

• Community Chat Weakness on Google search, a user observation

  I've been into research about search engine. While google algorithm is the best at the present, its business model( cost-per-click or AdWords) on which the whole business relies can be taken away by a business model pattern to Web 2.0 concept, Meaning, understanding the need of users and provide that needs and you have a loyal community of users which you can monetized the eyeballs for ads. The following is based on my observation as I used google search: 1. While I'm using google in one country, the ads shown is from U.S. If I'm looking for a product locally, that ads has no relevance to me. For the point of view of technology, this will be hard to address because it will require a huge amount of computer processing to filter this local ...Show All

• Visual C++ class designer for Visual c++

  Will there be a class designer for visual C++ hope microsoft will provide one in their next version. why do microsoft push more on .net languages more business and market I guess !!! Another guess is that C++ is thought of as the advanced language, where less demand exists for a class designer. I never understood the advantage of click and drag little rectangles around and adding members that way. I am pretty comfortable with defining classes in header files. Do you really see a benefit in this I think it was good to put pressure on C++ standard conformance and maybe a coming STL/CLR. I don't want to get religious here - just my opinion. -- SvenC ...Show All
