• Visual C++ std::locale loc(""); throws an exception

  I use std::locale variable loc initialized by empty string ( "" ). It should create user default locales. It works fine on most computers with all Windows OS. Unfortunatelly, on one (with Windows XP, I do not know other parameters) it throws an exception in line 345 (VS 2005) if (_Lobj._Getname().compare( " * " ) == 0) _THROW(runtime_error, "bad locale name"); Do somebody know under which conditions could request for "" locale could return locales with " * " name Thanks Hello Re: std::locale loc(""); throws an exception Such questions are outside the scope of this forum - for the scope of the VC General forum ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting a Default Confidentiality message

  Our company requires a "confidentiality message" displayed on all web pages, documents and reports. Is there a way for Reporting Services or IE for that matter to display a default confidentiality message accross all reports rather than editing each individual report Thanks in advance. Yes, this is right but, if you once have the "confidentiality control" placed in the report (like a textbox or something else) it is easy to just open the XML from the webservice, search and replace the message (you don’t even have to go thtough the XMl stuff, just a search and replace, but you have to keep the XML rules) and upload it again to the reporting server.

• Visual Studio Team System Default TFS event subscriptions & certain actions are not updating

  Hi, What are the default event subscriptions that get registered with TFS installation In other words, as soon as I'm done with a fresh install of TFS, what subscriptions should be available in TfsIntegration.dbo.tbl_subscription The reason why I am asking is because when we add a new Area in Team Explorer, it gets recorded in the TFSWarehouse.dbo.Area table, but is not available for selection for work items. Also, adding a new member to a TFS group does not make that person available in the work item dropdowns. We had to make some modifications to the tbl_subscripton table to work around the issue of Active Directory lookup failing for a domain user upon firing an event, so I want to make sure that we have the proper TFS subscrip ...Show All

• SQL Server Package fails when I schedule it.

  Two scenarios, 1 worked, 1 didn't: First package I execute SQL (select top 10 * from MyTable) in my SQLServer2005 database. I scheduled it and it ran sucessfully. I changed the execute SQL to run against an external Oracle database. (Select * from SomeOracleTable where rownum <= 10). I preview to make sure the query works and it does return a result set. I execute the package in the Visual Studios IDE and it works. I save with encryptAllWithPassword to the SQL server. I go into the scheduler and select the package from SQL Server (as opposed to the file system). I set the step to execute the package off the server. I enter the security key by clicking on the configuration tab. I assume it saves the password to the package. I cl ...Show All

• Visual Basic Managing Font Information

  Dealing with the font information for a control seems complicated and perhaps someone can explain a simple method to record font information. Net offers several dialog controls such as fontdialog andcolordialog. In using the fontdialog. My code looks something like this: Dim fd As New FontDialog Dim dr As DialogResult = fd.ShowDialog( Me ) TreeView1.Font = fd.Font Dim StringView as string=fd.Font.tostring The font information captured in the string variable looks like: [Font: Name=Times New Roman,Size=9.75,Units=3,GdCharSet=0,GdVerticalFont=False] I am interested in being able to store in my application font information for a treeview and tabcontrol that I can recall upon application startup.

• Visual Basic How can I change IDE's tooltip language?

  Hello I'm new to Microsoft's Visual Studio line of IDEs, so my question might sound a little bit stupid, but no matter what I've tried, I didn't find a solution for my current problem: Although I'm German and therefore am running the German version of Windows XP Home, I try to install software applications in their original English version whenever this is possible. So I downloaded the English version of VB's "vbsetup.exe" and installed it right away. But even after having verified that the appropriate settings in the "Options" of VB show that the help system is set to English, the tooltips of the "Toolbox" items appear in German! What's even more funny: I've copied all my VB and addons installation files from my home PC onto a CD ...Show All

  NumericUpDown does not allow to enter a NULL value. Why not I need a number control which allows NULL vallue. What can I do I don't know if anybody is even reading this thread anymore, but, without even testing this idea, wouldn't this just allow us to null out the reference to our NumericUpDown object, NOT somehow allow the NumericUpDown component to properly handle null values Does anybody have info on how this can be done quickly in a subclass ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can you edit a Model's vertices at runtime?

  Is it possible to edit the vertices contained in ModelMesh Like could I get the vertices, alter their position and set the data back in the collection I ask this because for the terrain object in my game, I want it to be deformable. I've been playing with the content pipeline and my custom importer / processor / writer writes the height data as a byte array. When the object is read back, an index buffer and vertex buffer are generated in the terrain class. The vertex buffer is specified with ResourceUsage.Dynamic which to my knowledge is the only way to make the buffer read / write enabled. I'm considering altering my custom content pipeline objects to create ModelContent objects instead of my current approach, but I will abandon that id ...Show All
