• Windows Live Developer Forums adCenter - Java Example with axis?

  Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows of a working example of using the adCenter API with Java and Axis or has one that they'd like to share with the group. I'm a newbie trying to put together an implementation and am running into all sorts of issues. The first is that I get invalid characters in the generated CountryTypeTarget class. The second is that I'm having trouble authenticating ever since 3.15 was released. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Joe Have you had any progress on your efforts to program against the V2 API using Java I'd in the process of doing the same thing with ColdFusion, which generates Java code for execution. Thanks, Reed ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating XMLReader from a MemoryStream (C#)

  Does anyone know why this doesn't work (it leaves me with an empty XmlReader)    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();    XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create(memStream);    tempSerial.Serialize(writer, objectToSerialize);    XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(memStream); In this example, tempSerial is an XmlSerializer. When these lines of code complete, I have a MemoryStream that contains data and an empty XmlReader, but I don't know why. Please advise. Thanks, Justin memStream.Position = 0; // Resets the position to 0 so we can read. and congratulations to me on my 600th post ...Show All

• SQL Server Querying XML from SQL 2005

  Hi, We are storing the entire xml of an infopath form as a string alongside structured data in a sql 2005 db. The project is a reporting one and we need to retrieve data from the infopath forms for display in the reports (along with structured data). We need to be able to build a query which retrieves both structured data from the tables and xml data from the xml string (also within a table). So the question is: can you query an xml string stored within a table from with a stored proc If so can you combine this query (I'm guessing this will be XPath) with a standard sql query to return both types of data The MS devs (yes actual MS employees) I'm working with don't so it will be interesting to see if anyone can suggest a solutio ...Show All

• Windows Forms Program Icon Question

  Hi, just a question about what VB Express allows concerning icons. I made an icon (.ico file) which after deployment displays fine for the start menu. However, it does not display in the actual program. Is this a limitation of VB Express or is there a trick to display a custom icon in the actual program (upper left corner & task bar) I am asking this because I got an icon I downloaded from somewhere to display in the program (don't ask me how) and now I can't get it to not display. Any ideas Thanks, Daniel Bring up the form in question in the design studio. Highlight the form, not an idividual control on the form, and press F4 or right click properties.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

  I have been programming with VC 6.0 for some time now, and it has worked great. However, all I hear is that VC 6.0 is a nono now, and I should bump up even to the EE of VC 2005, and well I did. Now, getting started is horrible, and I hope you guys can help me get it going nicely. For instance, how do I add libraries to a project Is the only way through the VCProjectDefaults folder Also, I am learning DirectX better, and I tried transferring code that compiles in VC++ 6.0 (simple code, in fact, the code from the SDK sample for Microsoft) to the new IDE, and it gave me 16 linking errors, so I spent about an hour trying to find out how to do this, and the only way I saw was from the same method to allow the creation of Windows forms, and co ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 - Windows Service Project and Setup Project questions

  My solution consists of a Windows Library (that creates a DLL), an EXE that is the Windows Service and a Setup project for deployment. The Windows Service references the DLL project. Everything is installed and deployed. 1. When I run the service, my code needs the current directory of my installed windows service application and library (c:\Program Files\Perf\PerfService in this case) but when I use the following code: path = My .Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory It returns : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 How do I get where my DLL and EXE are installed 2. I am using a My.Settings config file (app.config) to store application settings for the DLL. How do I include this in my Setup project so that I can manually change settin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cannot get IPersistComponentSettings to work

  I cannot seem to get IPersistComponentSettings to work for a UserControl I created.

  Hi, I use a VS2005 application with a sql database. All is working well over a local network but I now want remote access to the system via the internet.

• Windows Forms Vista UAC and ClickOnce Issues

  Hi, I am working on certifying our applications on Vista. I'm running Vista RC2 build 5744 and Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 Beta. The issue I have is that, as a certification requirement, applications have to be proven to install and run under a limited user account. I have no problem with that requirement in theory but in practise this seems to be a totally different matter given the tools available. I have done a lot of testing using ClickOnce publishing under different scenarios but there are some difficulties and inconsistencies. In the end I used a simple "smart client" windows application with just one form. Our deployment scenario would be similar. I tested different trust levels etc. Now this is what I found: ...Show All
