• SQL Server Connection woos

  Just the other day I have not been able to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. NOTHING has changed. All I have noticed is that in the Surface Area Configurator the Local Connections only radio button it selected. So I try selecting the Remote radio button and Apply and Ok and then exit the Surface Area Configurator program and then come back in again and the Local Only is selected. Is this normal behavior Is Remote connections allowed or not How verify Thanks. TCP/IP and Shared memory are enabled, and the engine and browser are running. Remote connections where working, so yes the other day all stopped! When I start up SAC the Local Only radio button is enabled. So I enabled remote and ...Show All

• Visual C++ GetDC() call

  Hi All, Recently I worked with a code which someone else has written. The code is something as follows BOOL MyDialog::OnInitDialog() { m_pDC = GetDC(); // m_pDC is the member of the dialog class ..... } void RenderBitmaps() { // Many drawing calls m_pDC->SelectObject(bitmap); m_pDC->StretchBlt(....); } In some other functions it is using m_pDC as the device context for draw. Normally at that time, we will call "GetDC()" and from the returning pointer will call the drawing functions. the person who written the code was trying to reduce the code hence make the code faster. So can you see some hidden issue in the above said approach i.e making the DC Pointer as member In the code execution, I dint find any is ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums An issue with Outlook Express 6 attachments

  When a client of mine tries to add an attachment to an e-mail, the file (when shown in the attachment address bar) comes up as a .lnk file. This is strange because it happens with every type of file she tries to input. We, so far, have tried a Word document, Excel spreadsheet as well as many other file types. In the folders, they are viewed with their regular file extension, however, as soon as they are attached to the e-mail, the extension changes to .lnk every time. This causes a problem because of the security settings Outlook automatically creates which blocks all executable files, including .lnk. I know there is third party software and regedit that could allow us to open these types of files, but its not worth it to do so on every co ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Client blues (MSDN Subscriber)

  Hello.  I have been trying to write a WCF client to consume a java-based web service secured by Apache WSS4J but have not been successful.  The web service requirements are: 1. Must be accessed via https (i.e. SSL). 2. Request must use SOAP 1.1 format. 3. The SOAP Body in the request must be signed, with the BinarySecurityToken (X509 certificate) embedded in the headers, per WS-Security 1.0 spec. 4. However, the web service itself does NOT sign the responses.  So, the client must NOT expect the response to have any WS-Security headers in it. First off, how would you implement your WCF client given the above requirements   If only someone can answer this question, I'd be in heaven.  ...Show All

• Visual C++ Vector subscript out of range - can't understand why

  I'm having a problem regarding the 'vector subscript out of range line 756' when popping back a vector after upgrading to VS2005. Pushing back still works perfectly. Searching the web I find many others with the same problem, but no explanation or way to fix it. This is purely in debug mode, no problem with mixing release mode or anything. #include "fire.h" vector < fire > MYFIRE; In main I have this function for(unsigned int i = 0 ; i < MYFIRE.size(); ++i) {     MYFIRE.DoPhysics(MYTIMER.getdelta_time());         if(MYFIRE.Pos().X()>400)         {         for(int j = i; j < MYFIRE.size(); ++j)     ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Display resolution and font size

  Hi, It is my understanding that Vista has the ability to scale all text sizes according to the display resolution (i.e. 12 point fonts will actually be 12 ponts regardless of the display resolution). Has this capability been implemented in Vista Beta 2 If not, is it going to be I have tried it out with Vista Beta 2 and the text sizes still decrease as the monitor resolution increases. Thank you kindly. Physical DPI changes with resolution but logical DPI does not. When msot people spend $1000 on a monitor with higher resolution, they want to be able to see more stuff. They don't want to see the same stuff magnified. I don't know whether the monitor sends its physical dimensions to the computer. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't modify assembly properties in deployment project

  I have a deployment project with a number of assemblies in the file system application folder. These assemblies have been placed there as a result of adding the primary outputs from several projects. Some assemblies are referenced by more than one project, and as a result are listed twice (and cannot be deleted). This causes the warning "Two or more objects have the same target location" to be generated when the project is built. I can stop this warning by giving each of the duplicated assemblies a different condition, and this works fine - until I close Visual Studio. It then turns out that the condition property has not been saved - it has dissapeared. In fact, it seems that any property change on these assemblies takes eff ...Show All

• Windows Forms Create icon?

  Hi I have a picture (.png) that I want to convert to an icon. This icon should support 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 px. The icon is for my form... It should be possible to have a more detailed icon when viewing thumbnails in explorer (I think it is 32x32 and 48x48 then ) How do I create this icon in .NET Is there a tool built in Kind Regards The .ico file type is a special Windows file type. You will not find any good converters for free, just really basic ones. I suggested Photoshop because it is a powerful digital imaging application despite its price. When you do find something that converts your image to all those sizes, you need to make sure that your image is bigger or as big as the biggest size you are goin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Deployment / strange Network Problem

  Hello I have a problem with deployment of a xbox 360 game. Okay the problem seems to be the network connection, i get the message that the host (my xbox 360) cannot be reached. I tried a PING to the IP Address of my XBox 360 and it fails. So i checked the Subnet, the IP Address, everything looks fine. And than i figured out something really strange: I started "PING -t 192.168.0.2" (the IP of my XBox) and i got timeouts as before. Than i started the network diagnostic tool on the XBox - still PING timouts. From the moment on where the network diagnostics reached the ICMP test, the PING succeeded and i receive an answer. Unfortunatly when the network test is over, the PING fails again. Can someone help me Greetings, Ber ...Show All
