• Smart Device Development NSIS Setup installer does not install SQL CE 3.0 but does install CF2.0 and Application cab files

  Hi there, I've build a demo app that supports Pocket PC 2003, Pocket PC 2003 SE and Windows Mobile 5. With NSIS i've created an MSI installer that works fine for installing the Compact Framework 2.0 and the application's Cab file on my Device through ActiveSync, but does not install automatically SQL Server Mobile Edition 2005. I've included the following cab files. sqlce30.ppc.wce4.armv4.cab (for Pocket PC 2003 and SE) sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab (for Windows Mobile 5) However the SQLCE3.0 cab will will install when you manually copy it to your device and run it from the Device. The installer is used for deployment, so i don't want to deploy it from within Visual Studio .NET 2005 (Then Visual Studio 2005 does install SQL Serve ...Show All

• SQL Server Install SQLServerExpress Advanced Service with Visual Studio Express

  hello, i’d like to work with (first learn ) all features of the SQL Server Express Advanced Service and Visual Basic 2005 (incl. Connect SQL Server databases from Visual Studio/ VB2005). Before I’ll make a mistake with the install (the numerous versions make me confused) I’d like to ask you which is the correct way to install both : 1) Should I first install SQLServer Express Advanced Service and then Visual Studio (Visual Basic without SQLServerExpress - if it’s possible switch off this compound) or 2) Install Visual Studio Express (I’ve got the DVD from Microsoft) with (or without ) the SQLServerExpress Edition and then upgrade to the SQLServer Express Advanced Service by starting the SSE Advanced-Service setup-file thank you very much ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Newbie setup problem

  I just installed TFS Workgroup and am attempting to add a group of users to it (...and to Sharepoint...and Reporting services). I began by following the "Walkthrough:Setting up groups and Permissions". I created a Windows group (but this group doesn't seem to appear under Local groups on my computer ) called TFSDevelopers and that seemed to work. Next I wanted to add this group to the list of Sharepoint Administrators.(Following "How To: Set Administrator Permissions for Windows Sharepoint Services"). I made it the "Set Sharepoint Administration Group" webpage. For the Group account name I typed in the same name I created earlier when I was setting up groups and permissions .i.e. <server name>\TFSD ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Polyline Opacity

  Excuse me for probably overlooking something simple :) I'm trying to get semi-transparent polylines to work correctly in Firefox. At present they are showing up completely opaque in FF 1.5.0.7 and 1.5.0.8, but fine in IE7. A sample is: function GetMap() { map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(-40.3555, 175.615), 13 ,'r'); var pl = new VEPolyline("12345",[new VELatLong(-40.3555, 175.615), new VELatLong(-40.3565, 175.655)],new VEColor(0,255,0,0.5),5); map.AddPolyline(pl); } Is this an issue with FF, my svg engine, or something I've missed Also, on a totally different note, we're porting a prototype app from GMaps, and one thing I feel is that VE methods throw ...Show All

• SQL Server Looking for suggestions Cluster or Mirror

  Hello, We currently have one instance of SQL2k5 SP1. We have a couple of publications, and 30 subscribers, on the instance and are considering going to either a cluster environment or db mirroring. Currently our instance seems to be busy and I am wondering if clustering really gives it a performance boost. What are your thoughts/suggestions on going to a cluster environment versus just db mirroring Can mirroring be used for real-time failover as we need to add that as well Thanks in advance. John Fail-over clustering and database mirroring are both high availability solutions that don't have any direct effect on performance. Fail-over clustering relies on shared external storage between the node ...Show All

• Architecture O/R Mapping and visual controls

  Hi I'm rather new to .Net: what is the best way to link persistent domain objects with data-aware visual controls What I'm trying to do is to use a rich domain model, get an O/R mapping tool/framework (e.g. NHibernate) to take care of persistence but still be able to use Girds and other DB controls. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Andrei. When binding to a dataset you actually bind to a tables defaultview object which is the one with capabilities of sorting and filtering. For List<Product> there is both sort and filtering (findall) but they both use some kind of strategy object (delegegate for find and IComparable objected for sort) so using them in data binding differs a bit between wind ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with Model3D as resource

  Hi all, I'm missing probably something very basic here in WPF 3D. I have derived a class from ModelVisual3D. In its constructor, the Content member needs to be assigned to one of three Model3DGroup instances. These are fairly complicated meshes to build in code, so I have these Model3DGroups defined in a XAML resourcedictionary. E.g.: Content = (Application.Current.FindResource("walkingman")) as Model3DGroup; This all seems to work (Content is successfully assigned, as far as I can examine its state in the debugger), yet somehow the 3D object is not rendered. When I put just the MeshGeometry3D definition in the resourcedictionary - and construct the Model3D object around that in code - everything is okay. Is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need help - disappearing lines and solids!

  Hi All, I'm having a big problem drawing lines for a C# application I'm writing. I'm using the DirectX SDK that came with visual studio 2005, directx 9 i presume. My problem is that when I draw triangles using either fillmode.wireframe or fillmode.solid, when I draw the (perspective) camera back too far the triangles disappear completely! The far plane for the camera is set to float.maxvalue. They last a little longer in wireframe mode than in solid mode, but either way is no use to me. What I need is a kind of 'hairline' drawing method, where the lines will always be at least 1 pixel x 1 pixel regardless of how far away they are from the camera... Can anyone shed some light on this Thanks in advance. Jon ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 32-bit memory

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143685.aspx indicates 32-bit Standard Edition will support the OS maximum for memory. However, ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/udb9/html/34950321-2bfd-4679-8f1b-0a0a440eb443 in BOL indicates AWE is only supported in SQL 2005 Enterprise Edition. Is it possible to allocate 6-7 GB of memory to SQL 2005 Standard Edition with 8 GB of physical memory on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition server It appears the disconnect is that BOL indicates Enterprise Edition is required for AWE. I also realize 64-bit does not require AWE. You need to be running eneterprise /Standard /developer SQL Server that to on 32 bit system to have awe facility. Sinc ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AJAX style XAML generation on the server?

  Hello, does anybody know, if there is a way to create XAML with C# or VB dynamically on the server, and interpret it, without compiling, at the client Similar to HTML with JavaScript in today’s AJAX based browser apps Regards Thomas Hi Mike, thank you for your answer! Why is IIS 7 needed to achieve this I think any web server/programming langue can create XAML. But this is not my problem. My problem is, that pure generated XAML without C# or VB works well. But when I generate a simple XAML document with, say an C# event handler, I get an error on the client “compilation required”. Bye Thomas ...Show All
