• SharePoint Products and Technologies How to specify particular MOSS site using Lists.GetListItems?

  This must be a stupid question since I can't find any answers out there: How should I specify the location of the list (document library) used in Lists.GetListItems Even though all MOSS sites have a _vti_bin/Lists.asmx, I'm assuming I should always use the generic http://servername/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx to connect since adding sites as a web reference would require hard-coding. Also, if I try the hard-coding method, I still can't figure it out. I'm also assuming that Document Libraries are lists too and can be accessed this way. All the examples suggest just the list name: listService.GetListItems( "Our Documents", null, ndQuery, ndViewFields, null, ndQueryOptions, null); I've tried this with every ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. unknown error code

  when i call: theSoundBank->Prepare(index, 0, 0, &myCue); it returns 0x8AC70013 and sets myCue to null. GetLastError() returns 0. what does 0x8AC70013 mean FormatMessage does not work on that error code. All XACT methods return an HRESULT which are either standard COM error codes or XACT specific error codes defined in the header XACT.h. In this case the error code is XACTENGINE_E_NOWAVEBANK which is most likely being returned because a wavebank required for the soundbank you're trying to prepare has not been created. There are couple quick ways to check for the returned error code - If you have the DX SDK installed then the easiest way to check for the error codes is by using the "Dir ...Show All

• Windows Forms How-to change default publish.htm?

  I do not want to manually change my publish.htm everytime I publishes. After all if that is the case then the auto generated page just turn useless. How do I customize the default publish.htm Let's say I need it localized or something for example. So, it's not like we didn't think about it . We actually gave the most flexible solution we could imagine. We have given a sample, that you can modify or copy what you like to fit your needs. Unless you really want to have the version # in the web page, the links actually point to a .application file that is not versioned. So your page really doesn't need to update. It was useful to have it in the "sample" web page we provided for debugging a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Compact Framework 2.0 Restributable Install - device only

  Hi Everyone, I have a complete development environment including .Net Compact Framework 2.0 installed on my development machine. I am attemtping to attempting to deploy my application to a Treo Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC device that is running .Net Compact Framework 1.0. The deploy fails because the compact framework version on the device is old. So I'm trying to install the Compact Framework 2.0 on the device using the NetCFSetupv2.msi provided by Microsoft. It appears that this install first installs 2.0 to the desktop, and subsequently to the device. Since I already have 2.0 on the desktop, I would need to de-install it on the desktop to allow the installer to work. I'd prefer not effect my development environment. Is there a way ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Draw 1 Line?

  How can I draw a single line in XNA LineList dosent seem to work with a single line. Here is a simple class that should draw a single line(rest of the code missing). It gives unexpected results. If I increase the number of primatives in the DrawPrimatives call it draws more lines, even though I sent the buffer only 2 vertices. It must be using old data from the buffer. Can you just draw a single line Thanks public class Line : IGeometry { public VertexPositionColor [] vertices; private VertexBuffer vertexBuffer; public Line( VertexPositionColor vertex1, VertexPositionColor vertex2) { vertices = new VertexPositionColor [2]; this .vertices[0] = vertex1; this .vertices[1] = vertex2; } ...Show All

• Visual C# while (true)... need help!!

  I thought I knew quite a lot about programming but when I came accross a bit of code like: while (true) { ...do something... } I had no idea how this works... I know that it's a conditional loop and while it is true it loops through performing whatever tasks there are to do... BUT what is the (true) part how does that work if it loops while(true) what would make it false since it's not a local variable or anything and you cant say IsRunning = false; it just always is true... Does it mean that while app is still running or something... That's the only solution I can come up with is that it means while( app is running){...}... Am I right Can someone please take the time to explain this to me and maybe give me the proper name for referring ...Show All

  Is there a code to make windows media player go into full screen apart from right clicking on the player What i want to do is have a button that makes the player go into full screen is it possible is this for the embedded WMP (in other words, added the COM component in your project) if so, there is a command in the object to make it full screen, you would have to read the docs for that. I think its: theWMPObject .fullscreen = true to make it full screen. The "theWMPObject" is the object of WMP you added in your application (embedded in it) ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't create matrix report with recursive sum and drilldown!

  I've tried to make a report using a parent-child relationship, and have it drilldown on both axis, like this: [-] 2006 Jan Feb Mar [-]Top Level 511 622 933 [+]Sublevel 111 222 333 [-]Sublevel II 200 400 600 SubSub 100 200 300 SubSub II 100 200 300 Each field in the matrix should be a sum of hours (in this case) for that level and that month. The levels are an unbalanced tree represented by a parent-child relationship. The data comes from just sql server tables, no analysis services cube or anything. The problem is that if I, in the layout, set the value of the matrix textbox (the bottom-right textbox that represents the sums) to: =Sum(Fields!Hours.Value) I don't get the recursive sum so the top levels do ...Show All
