• SQL Server Hotfix for Bug # 473675 (SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread)

  Hi, I get " SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread." errors. This is related to a bug in SQL 2000 and there is a hotfix for SP3a. I am running SQL2000 with SP4. I checked the fix list of SP4 & this bug is not fixed in this SP4. Can I apply the hotfix to resolve this problem on my server tia. Hi, SP4 is a superset of SP3,SP2,SP1 So this hotfix must be included in SP4. You can't easily relate error messages and hotfixes, it could be another reason you are getting this message. Read carefully what the hotfix fixes, relate it to the situation you are dealing with and judge if the hotfix is relevant enough to your problem, so as to risk applying it. Some more ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Filter Work Item History by Created Date??

  I'm looking to a way to filter the work items in the Work Item History via System_CreatedDate. Currently, I'm working in the [Team System] cube and have a list of showing the cummulative count of the number work items in any given state on any given day.  I'd like to filter this list such that only work items created on a certain date are counted.   As mentioned in posts by other users, trying to filter the values using the System_CreatedDate value directly has no effect.  If I filter using the Work.Id Inclusive range, I find that the routine does work in terms of only counting those work items.  I just need an easy way to relate the System_CreatedDate to either a Set of Work.Ids o ...Show All

• Visual Basic Compiling C code functions to call from VB

  Hi I have a chip I need to reconfigure via a VB app. The company provides a C code API to do this (i.e. their software generates *.c, *.h files for us to call). I don't know C, but I want to compile it as a dll file to reference from my VB project. The files are plain C. Which wizard settings should I use, so that I can compile and link to it to access their functions from my VB code I have tried to do this, but keep getting an error message saying it could not add it as a reference: ...make sure file is accessible, and that it is a valid COM component. Thanks Thanks for the reply - I looked up PInvoke and found information relating to DLLImportAttribute, which looks like it will do the tr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why do WF and WPF have different DependencyObject classes?

  I was surprised that the Workflow and Presentation Foundation frameworks each have their own DependencyObject- and related classes. I was expecting that in the final bits the dependency object functionality would be represented by one unified set of classes. What drove Workflow to define its own set of classes in System.Workflow.ComponentModel, rather than using the classes in System.Windows Thanks, Glenn Burnside I am surprised you couldn't slip it into System.Core, and call it done. Will compatibility between the two ever be introduced (Perhaps in a .NET 3.6 release ) Or will WPF and WF forever have this divide between them I will not enjoy having to write a class based on one, and then write a proxy ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting XAML from FlowDocument at run time

  Hello, I'm wondering what the best way is to extract a string representation of a FlowDocument's XAML at run time. The document belongs to a richtextbox. I saw the example in the documentation where you use a TextRange object to extract the text. I'm thinking of using the TextRange's Save method to send the XAML to a memory stream, and then reading the contents. But is there a more efficient way Something like the XAML equivalent of the Rtf property of the Windows.Forms rich text, were you get a string representation of the text and formatting. thanks, Jake Michel If you want just the string representation (without any formatting), you can use TextRange.Text property. It is the most performant. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. if (XNA < DirectX) { drool; } .... DirectX or XNA?

  I have been wanting to develop a game for a while now, and I am finally getting all my technologies together. Basically, I want to create a simple RTS that models that of starcraft because I am a major fan of that game. The problem is, I can not seem to decide if XNA will be able to do what I want it to do, or will I have to move to DX9c. I want to have multiplayer support as 1 of my big things, since the best thing about Starcraft is it's multiplayer, and I see that XNA does not have support for that sort of thing and certainly not an easy way to implement it. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate them, thanks. PS: My C++ skills are absolutely terrible, so I would probably have to learn C++ to use DX9c unless you can ...Show All

• SQL Server LEAVES function causing problems in MDX Script

  Hello, Got a bit of a weird situation here and I'm having trouble fathoming it. I have a cube with a dimension called [Currency]. I have a MDX Script which contains the function call: LEAVES([Currency]) And up until this afternoon everything was getting processed fine. Since then I introduced a new measure group that does not include [Currency] and still everything is getting processed fine. I then added another measure group that, again, does not include [Currency]. I am now getting a processing error on my second new measure group: Leaves function for attributes with mixed granularity in different measure groups is not supported. I think I can kinda work out why I'm getting the error - its because the LEAVES function ...Show All

• Visual Basic Howto Drag and Drop a file list to another app (e.g. Qery analyser)

  Hi I'm trying to enable a VB.Net 2.00 app to drag a list of files FROM a listbox of file names (an example is the FileSystemSample) to (e.g) an open Query Analyser window, Explorer window or any other drop enabled application. I can find plenty of example on draging into my app, but none the other way around. So far I have the following code with these problems 1. no feedback 2. no drop when mouse release over drop enabled app. 3. when mouse up my app simply selects the item originally mouse down over. <code> Private Sub LstFiles_MouseDown( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles LstFiles.MouseDown If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then ' I ...Show All
