• SQL Server How to make a File Share Subscription running on Vista?

  I recently migrate to Vista.   I had a bunch of reports with file share subscriptions that were running fine on XP.   After installing reporting services on vista (that part only was a challenge), I re-created my subscriptions using the report manager.   As expected, when a subscription is executed, the ‘last run’ column shows the last time the report output has been delivered to the file share and the ‘status’ column shows ‘New Subscription’.   I thought that this was the signature of a successfully configured subscription.   But surprisingly, there is nothing in the file share. The directory is empty.   Anybody has an idea why   Anybody knows how I could possibly find information on my ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. My managed directx is horribly slow.. help!

  Hi there. I have been writing games for years now and most recently in Blitz3D which uses dx7. I am now converting to managed dx with c# as that is the language I use at work and with managed dx now coming into it's own I though it was as good a time as any. Anyway, I wrote a small program with a camera following a ufo mesh around a ground plane with other ufos present in the scene. In blitz3D I can have over a hundred in the scene with no slowdown at all but in dx 9 if I move the ufo around, as soon as more than 4 or 5 appear I get about 2fps!! I've tried what I know (its using hardware and not reference or software except for vertex processing) but its such a simple program I don't know what else to do. Any Ideas I'm happy to p ...Show All

  Hi Guys. Does anybody know how to bind a richtextbox to a database field or otherwise read a string value from the rtb and drop it onto an INSERT query (+visa versa into UPDATE command) What Field type is required Any help would be great. Thanks, Keith. you should be thinking of other ways of storing the text from RTB in this case, what you are doing is inefficient and will hit problems.

  Greetings! Do any of you know whether or not it's possible to install Enterprise Manager onto a box with SQL Server 2005 installed I've come across a couple of problems when trying to admin some SQL 2000 servers, so I need EM somewhere.

• Windows Forms Background Worker Trouble

  I'm having trouble with a Background Worker. I have a few textboxes on my form, they are populated from a dataset. So I have a function that creates a generic list from some lines in the dataset (based on what is checked in a checklistbox), then I copy the list to the Lines property of the textbox (simplified explanation) Right now, when I select certain criteria in a checklistbox, it calls the Background worker. Let's say I select different criteria before the last call was finished processing... How would I go about handling this If I cancel the first request, I have to wait until the background worker is finished canceling before I can call it again. I thought about creating a new instance of a background worker each time ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [PersistOnClose] - Not persisting?

  I have a pretty simple Sequential Workflow with 2 copies of a Custom Activity that simply set some tracking values. Each Activity is decorated with [PersistOnClose] , the Execute function returns an AEC status of Executing and I am using a Queue to return some values to the QueueItemAvailable handler. This handler then ultimately calls CloseActivity(); Each activity sets different tracking values, and what I am seeing is that BOTH activities run, despite the [PersistOnClose] and the CloseActivity Is there anything else I am missing to persist after my activity is completed Regards, Dave   Jon Flanders wrote: Handle the WorkflowRuntime.WorkflowPersisted event just to make sure.

• Visual C++ Focus in Multiple Dialog application

• Community Chat More converting numbers to text

  Hello All. After a thoroughly enyoyable investigation with OmegaMan into the relative merits of different ways of converting a numeric value into its literal text representation, featuring his string-parse code and my old Basic digit-parse code, I managed to catch a pretty bad case of "feature fever," and decided to update and expand the cababilities of my old routine. So, here it is.  This .zip file contains the following files: NumberWriters.dll The Library NumberWriters.htm The ReadMe file NumberWriters.xml The XML comments for Intellisense NumberWritersDemo.exe A short Windows Forms demo application Basically, this library contains classes which expose methods to convert n ...Show All

• Gadgets changing a flyout's size

  I'm having an issue with changing the size of a flyout. The size changes, but the window appears slightly lighter than it should be (i.e. everything is slightly grayed out) and nothing appears "active" (i.e. events don't seems to be fireing). Once I click anywhere in the flyout, the color goes back to normal and controls events go back to normal. I thought I was going something wrong. Then I tried the same thing with the stocks gadget. To reproduce: Hover over te gadget and click Add a stock symbol In the flyout, click Show stock symbol Notice that the black seems gray and hovering over the stocks have no effect. Is this a known Sidebar bug Is there a workaround that I can do in my code If not I may have to rethink ...Show All

• SQL Server version problem

  This error message is correct. Is there a way round this problem The backup of the system database on device D:\msdb.backup cannot be restored because it was created by a different version of the server (134218488) than this server (134217922). RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. Thanks in advance for any help. You can't take a higher version (18488-sp3) backup and try to restore it to a lower version system (17922-rtm). You have to bring your system to at least the same version as the backup or higher (sp4 is recommended) before you can restore. ...Show All
