• Software Development for Windows Vista cdrom.sys - Cannot recognize DVD Drive

  I installed Windows Vista RC2 (Build 5744) on a totally fresh new HDD, and everything went fine.... I installed many games, went fine...... Then I tried to install Alcohol 120% to mount one of my backed up games I had not burnt yet.... Then it suddenly shut down. Since then I have been unable to see my NEC ND-2500A, and if I insert a disc it is like it is unable to read it. It makes no attempt to read a disc what so ever. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.... Many Thanks, (in advance) Ben I have a dvdwriter Samsung SH-S182F. The driver is recognized, but none of the discs are recognized.

• .NET Development Strange behavior when making remote call

  I'm calling a remote server (client activated, hosted in WinForms app). A simple call without parameters (or with a simple string param) works fine. When I pass certain parameters, it crashes. Build is the remote class. This call to CreateBuildTree() works: Build prp = new Build (); prp.CreateBuildTree(); This one doesn't: Build prp = new Build (); string BuildDir = prp.GetBuildDir(); TreeNode root = new TreeNode (); root.Text = BuildDir; prp.CreateBuildTree(root, BuildDir); even when CreateBuildTree doesn't contain any code!!! public void CreateBuildTree() { } The error I get on the client side is "Server encountered an internal error.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cannot debug content pipeline

  I am having problems trying to debug the content pipeline. Following advice in other posts, I put System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(); in my processor code (in the Process method) to launch the CLR debugger. The just-in-time debugging window pops up, prompting me to start the CLR debugger. But when I do, I get an error message saying 'Unable to attach to the process'. I can't manually attach either the CLR debugger or Visual Studion 2003 (enterprise) to any managed process - like to Visual Studio Express or my game. It's going to be difficult to work with the content pipeline if I can't debug my code, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, again, very grateful for the advice. This ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office AddListObject gives "A list cannot overlap another list"

  I am developing a VSTO Excel application where the user dynamically creates lists (implemented as host controls Listobjects) and saves his result. When the workbook is reopened I try to recreate these host controls from the persistens Excel Listobjects. The code looks like this in the Sheet1.cs foreach (Excel. ListObject listObject in ListObjects) { listInstance = this .Controls.AddListObject(listObject.Range, listObject.Name); } This fails with a COM exception saying "A list cannot overlap another list".

• Windows Forms Continue event processing after a prompt within the Validating event handler

  I have many controls visible simultaneously on my Windows Form. One of them is an "editor," and when the user tries to leave that control by clicking on another control, I want to prompt the user to save their editing session, with a "Yes/No/Cancel" prompt. If the user clicks "Yes" or "No", then (after saving if they clicked "Yes"), the original click event should be processed. if they click "Cancel," the user should remain in the original "editor" control. To cancel, I just set the Validating event handler's CancelEventArgs argument's Cancel property to true (i.e., in C#: e.Cancel = true; ). However, displaying the MessageBox prompt in the Validating event inter ...Show All

  Hello All, Is there a way to parse the resx file I want to create a text file that contains all the values of the .text entries in the resx file. Then I can give that to a multi-linguistic expert and ask him to convert those strings to some other language. Any pointers on this would be appreciated !!
