• Smart Device Development CabWiz Info

  This is just a quick post to hopefully save someone some of the pain and agony that I have suffered over the last 2 days trying to get a CAB built for a new PocketPC app. If CabWiz reports an error similar to: Error: CAB file "D:\CabFile.CAB" could not be created one of the first things that you should check is that you do NOT have 8.3 file naming turned off. If registry entry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is set to 1, then CabWiz will either not work or will only work intermittently (depending on whether you are working in a directory that has short names or not). If it is set to 1, change it to 0 and then reboot. You will also need to recreate all existing directories that do not ...Show All

• SQL Server Createing SQL data base record for comma delimted records

  I am a new user to SQL an I need to create a data base record from a comma delimted file (.CVS). The CVS file has up to ten fields all alpha/numeric.

• Architecture Load Balancing of Business functionality in a Distributed Scenario

  Hi, I have a scenario wherein the custom application that I am developing would be installed at 3 different locations. Now based on how the business load is, one system should be able to offload certain part of its work item queue to the other two systems where load isnt that heavy. Sounds confusing. Well let me try to articulate with an example. Suppose I have to process Insurance claims and I have two office within a city which does that. Each office would handle requests designated to their area. Now suppose Office 1 has heavy load of claims to processed and it knows that Office 2 doesnt have any heavy workload, it should be able to offload the same to the other office get it processed and give the result back even though the claim doe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Packaging: "[Content_Types].xml" part?

  I'm messing around with the packaging APIs (my eventual intent is to figure out how to add my own custom parts to an existing XPS file, since MS isn't telling). I started with the PackageRead sample, and made some adjustments to basically take a .XPS input and dump it to a flat-file structure. I'll know when I have it right when I can take any of the sample XPS files, dump to a folder tree, manually re-Zip that back to a .XPS and get a faithful reproduction. It's mostly working, except some sample XPS files have a [Content_Types].xml file in the package root. But for whatever reason, none of the Package collections (Parts & Relationships) seem to recognize the existence of this. So I have two questions: 1) Anybody know how to get at th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trapping the F5 menu command

  I'm having some difficulty in trapping the F5/Start Debugging command. I've tried adding the command like this: id = new CommandID(VsMenus.guidStandardCommandSet97, 295); command = new OleMenuCommand(new EventHandler(ShowConsole), id); mcs.AddCommand(command); but no luck. I've also added a section in the commands table like this: CMDUSED_SECTION guidVSStd97:295; CMDUSED_END My other user defined commands work ok - I can trap and handle them fine. Is there anything else I need to do Thanks Dermot Hello Dmitry, Here's the code from my Ruby package. It overrides the Exec/QueryStatusOnNode methods of the standard MPF ProjectNode.

• Visual Studio Report Viewer - New version?

  Any idea when we can expect a new version of the report viewer. Much as I tried I could not find a way to display html from data stored in a database as html.

Thanks an icy silence..... is the next version ever gonna happen it would be nice to have some indication or even a CTP ...Show All

• Visual C# does managed code take precedence over native code?

  i wrote a small demo C app that sends a message and a struct to a managed C++ dll. this C++ dll marshalls over the message and struct to a managed struct and sends it to a C# assembly that just prints out the values of the struct (to see that everything came over ok) and sends back a string reply, it also prints some debug text to console. before the call to the C++ dll, i make a few calls to printf to print to console. when it runs, it does the C# assembly debug statements before the native C printf statements. other than that everything looks ok. does managed code take any sort of precedence over native code printf is buffered by default. The output won't show up until there's a certain number of charact ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce Workaround.

  hey guys, I need help from you guys. Just a few questions if these can be dealt with. 1. Is it possible to use click once without its backward compatibility I mean would want the newly published files(all files) overwrite the old ones. Would it be possible 2. Just wanna hear your ideas on this guys. For example, we have multiple servers running. Considering a multinational compay that has employees on North America, Asia and Europe. Each continent is being represented by a server. The purpose of which is that every time theres an update, those employees from europe would just connect to the server on europe and so is USA and Asia with their assigned servers respectively.
