• .NET Development Unusual WriteXML Behaviour in C#

  Hi Guys I've got an unusual situation here. Am writing the contents of a dataset to XML with a Filestream, which works great. It writes the contents of each of the datatables contained within my dataset nicely. However, after deleting a row from one of my datatables and then writing the XML file, the XML file is written with an extra few lines after closing the root element, as follows: (DataSetConnection is the root element) <DataSetConnection> //entire contents of the Dataset and child datatables are written here successfully... <tblPerUserPass> <UserID>9</UserID> <Password>d/5++rArZQLqhfS1kc7yTQ==</Password> </tblPerUserPass> //the lines above are an example of the data written ...Show All

• SQL Server Domain group logins failing on SQL 2k5 workgroup

  This question is regarding a brand new out-of-the-box SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition install. The old SQL Server 2000 server is working properly with regard to the issue we're having: We are using Windows Authentication, and have created SQL logins for about 40 different groups on our domain. We've given those logins the appropriate permissions on the databases they're supposed to be able to access. The SQL Server is not a domain controller, but is a member of the domain, and domain logins do work for Windows-login purposes on this box. The problem is that when users try to connect to the SQL server, they are denied access. An error 18456 is thrown, and logged in the Application event log stating "L ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) EntitySet.Add

  It looks like EntitySet.Add doesn't work when the entities of the parent side of the association are pulled from the DB. Example : Author and Book.

• Visual Basic Changing color

  Hi, I need to increment the colour in the following statement: - Dim plotnumber as byte = 1 Dim myCurve1 As LineItem = myPane.AddCurve("Plot " & plotnumber, list, Color.Red, SymbolType.None) Plotnumber = plotnumber + 1 You can ignore most of the statement as it relates to an add-on, but it uses the system colour function, to change the colour of a cure. Unlike a number (like the name of the curve where I have simply & plotnumber and incremented so each curve has a different name. but I have no idea how I would do this for the colour, does anybody have any ideas Regards, Andy highlight it in VB and press F1: it will tell you that it is a modulus operator (Divides ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Func definition syntax to change?

  LINQ is pretty cool but when I see this: delegate TR Func<TR>(); delegate TR Func<T0, TR>(T0 a0); delegate TR Func<T0, T1, TR>(T0 a0, T1 a1); delegate TR Func<T0, T1, T2, TR>(T0 a0, T1 a1, T2 a2); delegate TR Func<T0, T1, T2, T3, TR>(T0 a0, T1 a1, T2 a2, T3 a3); It stands out pretty quickly that a slightly different language structure is needed here... this brute-force approach is trouble. What if I need a predicate with 13 parameters I've lost the convenience this syntax intends. One obvious alternative would have been the pre-existing EventHandler model, by using one EventArgs object the author overrides - in this case a QueryArgs object: delegate TR Func<TArgs, TR>(TArgs args) where TArgs : QueryArgs; ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ActiveX Installer Service does not work

  I've created an ATL COM component, packaged to a CAB, the signing certificate is marked as trusted. I can successfully install the component, obviously through the UAC elevation dialog. But nonadmins need to install this component. So, I've installed the ActiveX Installer Service on a standalone machine, not in a domain member. The service is started. I setup the necessary policy to silently install the component. The policy is propagated. I can see the effect of the policy in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\ Microsoft\Windows\AxInstaller\ApprovedActiveXInstallSites Value Name: http://localhost Value Data: 2,1,0,0 Despite these efforts, Vista displays ...Show All
