• Smart Device Development Problems with Emulator & SQL Mobile 2005

  Hi - I am having problems using the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator connecting in code to a SQL Server 2005 Mobile database file. I created the Database just fine and created some tables without problem from within VS 2005. Following is a code snipet of my connection attempt: (real password not shown) Dim myCnn As New SqlCeConnection( "Data Source=C:\Mobile\Test.sdf;Password=secretPassword;" ) Dim strGuid As String = Guid.NewGuid.ToString Dim strSQL As String = "INSERT INTO TestSig(ID,Signature) Values( , )" Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(strSQL, myCnn) Try Dim encryptData As Byte () = Crypto.Encrypt( _ [Global].Settings.GetString(SettingKeys.CryptPassphrase), _ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating a debugger visualizer for cusom data type

  Hello there, Can someone point me to an example of creating a visualizer for custom data type I followed the walk-through for creating visualizers, and it was very easy to create string visualizers. But I am having a tough time creating visualizers for my own data types. I searched and follow some tips to make my class ISerializable but that didn't seem to help. My goal is to be able to write a visualizer and able to edit the data via the VS 2005 debugger visualizer. I would appreciate any tips/comments. Thanks! **** My custom class **** namespace MyNS { [Serializable] public class IPMessage : ISerializable { public uint nSize; public int nFlag; //public byte[] baBuffer; public IPMessage() { n ...Show All

• SQL Server Time calculation Growth % from Business Intelligence wizard

  Hi, I need some help to solve an issue I have on displaying data from cube onto a OWC Pivottable. What I did is as follows. I created, using the wizard of the BIDS evironment the measure “Month Over Month Growth %”, calculates on the Time dimension. Browsing the cube, when the calculation is applicated to a measure containing a 0 value, I see “-1,#IND”. How I can avoid this Is it necessary to modify the MDX expression created by the wizard If so, How Thanks in advance. Hi, I tried the suggestion you gave me, but it doesn't work. What I want to higlight, is that the calculated field is not a measure but generates a dimension that I add to column area. So when I go thru the to ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums DeleteAllPushpins(); placement in map app

  I'm having a hard time getting the DeleteAllPushpins method to work correctly on my map. I call it before another batch of pushpins are plotted but my app just craps out The listing/example can be found here... devmx.caller.com/carlos/vearth2/index2.cfm (not much CF, just to print out movie titles from DB) If anyone can wrap their head around it and give me a shout back i'd really appreciate it Thanks Thanks for replying.

• Visual Basic Converting 32x32 bitmap to Base64

  Hi! I have got a very strange question. I have got a extern device that displays several lines of pixels. To display picture on that device I want to conert a 32x32 bitmap to Base64 Code. Do somebody has created a library or has some idea how to do it I know that it is possible but I have no idea how to. Thank you! Hi, use the Save method to save the image to a stream. Open the stream with a BinaryReader and use ReadBytes to get a byte array. If your images get large you might want to do this in a loop and read only small array of lets say 50000 bytes a time otherwise just use the stream length to read all content in one go. If you know that the image size will not go beyond some limit you can al ...Show All

• SQL Server How to edit someone else's report definition?

  I need to be able to share report definitions with other people in my group, so we can all edit and makes changes to each report definition if the need arises. When I tried to use a shared folder the other person could not access my report def, so evidently there is security applied. What's the correct method to do this Please point me at the documentation if it's listed somewhere - even an MSPress book would be fine. This is for both SQLRS2000 and 2005. thanks Peter OK - further forward progress, however the data source apparently does not bring over the credentials so I assume we'll have to enter them again manually. thanks!! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiler compiling source files on each build that haven't changed since previous build

  Hello. I was trying to figure out how to get my compiler to not recompile source files that haven't changed since the last build each time I build a project. This used to be the default, but something happened, and now each time I build a project, source files that haven't changed since the last build are being recompiled. It's kind of annoying and slows down my debugging. It's not every file, but just a few. Is there an option to set somewhere that tells the compiler which source files to recompile on a build if the source hasn't changed Thanks. This is never supposed to happen. You are probably hitting a bug and we would love to investigate it. If you could package up your project such that we can repro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Question re the CRM Integration Add-In Sample For Outlook 2003 (2)

  Earlier on I was questioning the UI/Data separation logic and John Durrant pointed me to the "CRM Integration Add-In Sample" - thankyou it is very useful. There are four custom items in this sample: Accounts, Activities, Opportunities, Contacts. As far as I can see, for each item stored inside an MSSQL database, an item is also created within the default Outlook store. I have deduced this because there is an 'OutlookID' column within each of the database tables. My question is this. What if I wanted to take the data/UI separation one step further for this model for an Outlook 2007 add-in What if I wanted to avoid the synchronisation issue between the Outlook and MSSQL data by saving only to the database. To achieve this I could ov ...Show All

• .NET Development First time using serial port: help for receiving data and manage serial port bahaviour

I'm trying to make an application using serial port: I need to send from an external device data and text to PC and I have to distinguish between data and text: if I send a Byte 30h to the PC, how can I tell to my application if it's data (30h) or text (30h = "0") I was thinking to using CTS, DTS, CD, etc. etc. pins to tell PC if it's data or text and I've seen in this thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=627321&SiteID=1 these pins have to be enabled; does enabling one of these pins auto-enables the handshake for serial port How can I clean the ReceivedData buffer ...Show All
