• Software Development for Windows Vista Beep sound in listview when selection changed in Vista RC1

  I heard a beep sounds when I select item in listview in my program either using mouse or keyboard. Same thing happen to some of Microsoft programs with listview. Wonder the sound is by purpose or what. Window Explorer also use the same "SysListView32" class but no beep sound. MSDN library too. My program was build using VC++ 6. I get this too! In my own program which uses WTL::CListViewCtrl, and even in some production apps like WS_FTP Pro! I am using Vista Ultimate (production, not release candidate!). What is causing this ! ...Show All

• Visual C++ Long link time in VC++2005

  Hello, I converted my solution from VC++ 2003 to VC++ 2005. I didn't use the conversion wizard, but rather re-created all the projects from scratch. Now, if I compile the Release build, the linker ( ) takes extremely long time. It looks like this: 1>Linking... 1> Creating library <...> 1>Generating code Now 15 seconds delay 1>Finished generating code 1>Embedding manifest... This 15 seconds delay doesn't occur for Debug build neither did it occur on VS2003. I was wondering what compiler/linker options might affect this particular part of the build process, or what other cause of the delay can there be. What exactly happens between "Generating code" and "Finished generating code" anyway ...Show All

• .NET Development dataset throwing arithmetic exception

  I have a function that is throwing an arithmetic exception when I try to store a 10 digit number. I checked the database, the field is set to bigint and I can enter the number manually without any problems. I also tested the stored procedure I use to insert the data and it too will accept the number without any problems. However, when I use the data table's add row method I get an arithmetic exception. The field in the dataset is set to System.Int64. I am lost as to what may be causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Luis Here is the source code I'm using. Basically I get a DirectoryInfo or FileInfo object and pass some of the values to a database table in memory Private Sub AddFileToEx ...Show All

• SQL Server How to: Link a Report to a Model as a Clickthrough Report

  I'm having some difficulty linking a custome drilldown or clickthroug report to another report that I have already created in report builder. I followed a MSDN article found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345226.aspx but I cannot find the " Select a page area, select Drill-through reports " option in report manager. Does anyone have a better explanation on how to do this I'm assuming that when you create the clickthrough report there has to some sore of filter on it that relates to the item of the clickthrough. I guess I'm I little confused, any help would be great. Thanks. I've got to that point however every time I try and link a report to the base Model as a drill-through repo ...Show All

• .NET Development Oracle Real Application Cluster Support

  Hi Does anyone know what (if any) support the Microsoft .Net Framework data provider for Oracle has for the Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) The documentation for the Oracle data provider for Oracle list its level of support, but I can't find any positive or negative information about whether the Microsoft data provider for Oracle will even connect. Hope this makes sense and many thanks for any help in advance. Neil System.Data.OracleClient does not do anything explicitly to support RAC. OracleClient uses Oracle's OCI layer under the covers, so if there is something you can configure at the OCI level, or if there's an Oracle-specific connecting string attribute you can use to enable some ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. One BGM in memory at a time? See if my method makes any sense.

  Take a look and see if this makes sense. I can't seem to stream an audio file from the hard drive, or at least I don't know how. It looks like streaming is designed to be read from a DvD. However, failing that, it looks like when you define a new audio engine and specify the xact file to use, it loads all the wav files into memory. Obviously, this isn't a good idea for multiple large music files. So... what about creating a separate xact file for each bgm, disposing the wavebank when you want a new bgm and creating a new audio engine, wave bank, and sound bank using the xact file of the new bgm you want. Would this achieve the goal of having only one bgm in memory at a time Ok, so, in xact, I created a new Wave Bank (Wave Bank 2) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions two questions????

  1- i add data base to my form and when i want to modifay in it and when i close the program and open it again all changes not saved       what can i do to save changes     2- how can i make my program setup file   thnx microsoft community For the first question, a problem like this is typically caused by the fact that your database is set to always copy to the output directory, if this is true, then you original database is going to overwrite the updated one that you have. You can run the publish wizard in your application properties. This will create a click once installer. For anything else, you would need a 3rd-party installation application. ...Show All
