• .NET Development Saving a website WITH images by using the system.net.webClient

  How can I save a website including the imagefiles an not only the htmlfile by using the system.net.webClient I tried a few ideas but no one really worked well. No, you don't replace the strings in the HTML file. What you need to do is parse that html file, get where exactly the .jpg are stored and then issue separate request for downloading each of those jpg file Mariya ...Show All

• Gadgets new XMLHttpRequest() - I'm at a loss

   I have programmed a gadget and it works great. I uploaded it to the Live Gallery and then I tested it and it doesn't work anymore. var xml_request = new XMLHttpRequest();  xml_request.open("GET", url, true);    <----- breaks here! the url variable is valid. It just stopped working all of a sudden with no code change. All the other gadgets in my sidebar can access the internet just fine. I have no idea why it just stopped working. If I replace it with: location.href = url; it opens the url in IE just fine. It's possible that the .gadget file has been blocked due to being from the interwebs. Find the file, right-click and go to Properties, and look at the botto ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF31001 and TF31002 Errors on TFS

  Hi, Logging on TFS as TFSSetup for creating team project causes the error TF31002 when trying to connect to available TFS. The TFS is online, name(TFS),port (8080) and protocol (http) are correct, also the password is correct because i'm logging on the TFS via Remote Desktop with the same Password.

If I wanna insert that record with null value in Person_Id you must change some op ...Show All

  Hi, I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I've searched a bit and not really found anything too helpful. My basic question is how do you go about extending the model loading pipeline I found this example in the help files but it did not want to compile: [ContentProcessor] class ScalingModelProcessor : ModelProcessor { public override ModelContent Process( NodeContent input, ContentProcessorContext context) { MeshHelper.TransformScene(input, Matrix.CreateScale(10.0f)); return base.Process(input, context); } } I put this in the spacewar starter game, and got some errors like so: Error 2 The type or namespace name 'ModelProcessor' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly refer ...Show All

• Visual Studio UNC path of a local folder on Server??

  I have installed VSS 2005 on a WinXP Pro box (Server). I created a database at C:\VSS. I open SSAdmin, Server > Configure > Enable SourceSafe Internet for this database. It says, open the DB in UNC path. The folder is shared as "VSS". It is not accepting the "VSS" string in the create new database wizard.  It says, its not a valid UNC path. What do I need to give the UNC of a folder which is in the local file system of Server and shared as "VSS"   I tried "<computername>\VSS".. its not working because the server is looking for the computer on the network while its the name of the server itself. Sorry if I am dumb, but I couldn't find any documentation on this. TiA. I am trying to access this VSS folder from ...Show All

• Visual Basic Val() function returning an error

  I am trying to use the Val() function to filter what is supposed to be numeric input from a textbox.  In testing various input combinations I came across the strings that generate an Invalid Cast Exception.  I am using VS2005 SP1 on both XPSP2 and Vista. This behavior is not documented in the Val() description.  Does anyone know why "%" and "&" would cause this error Ex: Dim test as double test = Val("6.5%") test = Val("6.5 %") test Val("6.5&") All of these patterns will cause the error.  The basic pattern seems to be a number that has at least 1 decimal place followed by either a "%" or a "&".  I have not found any other special characters that generate the same error.

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid Reset context menu

  Using the property grid and custom PropertyDescriptors to gather user settings. All works fine - except where is the "Reset" context menu when right clicking a property - as when using the property grid in a designer. Why missing when used in application code I'm pretty sure I'm providing the correct attributes etc. Many thanks, Guess I was treating the PropertyGrid as a 'packaged control' and expecting it to provide the context menu - as you or I would when distributing user controls for example. I'm assuming ResetSelectedProperty solved the repaint problem Ok, I'll give it a context menu and post back. Again, thanks. ...Show All
