• Smart Device Development Exchange data trough USB

  Hello, I want to exchange data between pocket pc and desktop pc via USB. This works ok but now I want to integrate it into a windows service. When i try to connect to the ppc in the Windows Service I get the message: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) I found a lot of things on google but nothing changed ...

• SQL Server SUM returns incorrect value in SQL Server Mobile Query ... Bug??

  Hi all, I am a newcomer to Microsoft Database Technology and have appeared to come across an issue with the SUM function in SQL Server Mobile Edition. I am running Visual Studio 2005 and have created 2 tables: Orders and OrderLines which are set up in master detail fashion. The SQL Statement I create in the Query Builder is as follows: SELECT     Orders.OrderNo, Orders.OrderDate, Orders.Priority, Orders.Address, SUM(OrderLines.Quantity * OrderLines.QualityReference) AS Total FROM         Orders, OrderLines WHERE     Orders.OrderNo = OrderLines.OrderNo GROUP BY Orders.OrderNo, Orders.OrderDate, Orders.Priority, Orders.Address Now, the SUM ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow painting, flickering on complex forms

  Okay, I've tried double buffering (Control.SetStyles et al). I've played around with Win32 APIs such as SET_REDRAW and LockWindowUpdate, but I cannot get rid of the apallingly slow painting that is Windows Forms. Try this: Create a form with about 50 labels on it. Make the BackColor of the form the usual windows grey - and leave the labels as is. Run the app. Alt-Tab back and forth from another app (preferable one with a white background - such as MS WORD). On my (average spec) PC there is a noticeable flickering and you can actually see each label paint its background first white, and then grey. What am I doing wrong - or is Windows Forms just reaaaaal sllloooowww when painting forms with any complexity Help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to segregate multiple TeamBuild projects?

  We are currently at a certain version (1.2) and have multiple solutions, all which need to be built separately. So I have a separate TeamBuild for each. But once we move to next version I will have to recreate the TeamBuild project files for each of these solutions. The TeamBuilds node in Team Explorer will be extremely cluttered with all these projects. Is there any way to create a folder beneath the 'Team Builds' node in Team Explorer so I can group my builds by version Also, how do I delete an existing TeamBuild project TIA! Hi DQM - Just to get more context into your scenario: 1. Why do you need to build each of the solutions separately Can we build these together but drop the binaries in separate folders 2. Would you c ...Show All

• .NET Development Seperating Data stuff from C++ apps

  Hi,   This is probably for most of you a very basic question.  My goal is to define in a seperate instance from application all infos related to DataSets and DataAdapters that are needed when connecting to a specific database.  Why      First, I would like to be able to have in a single instance everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server Express database and in an other everything needed when hooking to a SQL Server CE database.  Then, from application, I would like to be able following a few basic configuration steps to choose from one or the other, or even both in specific cases.   Second, I want to be able to seperate Database related stuff from application so that I ca ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 RC1 Installation error

  Hello, I had previously installed IE7 to try (I think it was Beta 1, but am not sure). I recently tried IE7 RC1, but something was freezing my computer.

• .NET Development Count Submatches in a Regex

  I want to know how you can count the number of submatches in a regular expression. I can't find a guranteed way of doing this normally in VB Script the number of submatches would be kept in: Regex.Submatches.Count and the regex values would be kept in: Regex.Submatches(0) but how would you do the same thing in the .NET Regex class I found 2 things that might be it but none of them worked well for me: "Groups" and "Captures" I don't know which one holds submatches though. By submatch I am reffering to a string kept between brackets For example if my regex was "Name: (\w) - Age: (\d)" then I would have 2 submatches one would be my name matched by \w and the other one would be my age matched by \d. Any idea how I can do this Thanks in advanc ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "no parameterless constructor" error in wcf

  Hi all:   When I used wcf ,I wanted that the class which implemented the contract  had a  parameter constructor.But as I did this, I got a error.   Can anyone tell me how to realize what i want.   WCF requires a parameterless constructor to dynamically instantiate a service contract implementation. However, you do have some options: 1) You can pass in a self instantiated service contract (singleton) instance to the service host. 2) You can add a default constructor to your implementation and call a seperate init method to initialize the instance.
