• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Bloomberg + Execel = True?

  Ok my situation is like this: I have a computer that runs Windows XP Professional. On the computer I have a Bloomberg subscription i.e. I have an ordinary monitor, but a Bloomberg keyboard and it is "true" Bloomberg subscription (it is not the Bloomberg website I am referring to). I have an Excel spreadsheet that is connected to Bloomberg and updated once every day using a DDE connection. Now will this work even if the Bloomberg program is closed If not so is there any other way of creating a link that works even if the Bloomberg program is closed The connection works through a macro that runs on a prespecified time every day. The code for opening the Bloomberg link is: channelNumber = Application.DDEInitiate(app:="BLP&qu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Looking for Graphics/Painting libraries (free or commercial)

  Hi Friends-- I've been working on building some routines for a small painting application. Not looking to reinvent the wheel, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a painting/graphics library. Free is great, but if there is a good commercial library/SDK/API out there, I'd like to consider it as well. Anyone have any suggestions Thanks! Hello jerfoo! If you are looking for libraries to run under VB 2005 you will probably need to get a comercial one. There are several excellent free graphics libraries (relying on OpenGL, DirectX, both or neither) but they are intended to be used under C and/or C++ and are mainly focused on games and GUI. You didn't specify but I think that it is not your case, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version changes a file's 'Date Modified' and 'Date Created' attributes

  Hi, We are currently using Team Foundation Server as our source control solution for a pilot project. When a user right clicks on a file in 'Source Control Browser' in Visual Studio 2005 and selects 'Get Latest Version,' he/she gets the file without any problem. However, the 'Date Modified' and 'Date Created' attributes of the local file are set to the time he/she got the file from the source control. It is important for us that we get the files with the exact date attributes that they were checked in with. Use-case senario: -User A modifies a file on June 20th and checks it in. -User B gets the latest version of the file on June 21th. -The file on B's machine states that the file was last modified on June 21th and thus f ...Show All

• .NET Development How to connect two application via internet

  Hi Sorry for a new bee question :-) I want to make a application that have a blank board and allow two people can draw on that at the same time. Two people will use different computers and connect via internet. What is the best way of making this application Client - Server or p2p or other kind of structure In c# what is the class that support connect two application Thanks a lot for your help. I do appreciate it Best regard Ultimately you need to know when the other party moved or drew something on the board so you could replicate that on the other side. This is what I would do. 1. If you only need to involve two parties, a direct connection betwen them would do. So basically one of the machine acts as server and the second ma ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Data Performace using TableDirect (Updates and Inserts)

  I am writing a data loading routine which will take an XML stream and populate a table. From the XML, I know the name of the table, the column name, and the value for the given row. The problem I am encountering is performance with loading the data because I have to decide if the SQL command should be an insert or an update. If the data exists, then I should update the columns, if the data is a new row, then I should do an insert. The XML will be for only one table, so I can use TableDirect in the command object. Right now, I am using the DataAdapter/Table to find the row having the key. If the row is returned, then I update, if not, then I do a Rows.Add. (See code below). It is taking about 3 minutes to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) transferMode="Streamed" does not stream within IIS

  I have a WCF service hosted within IIS that uses the following custom binding: <customBinding> <binding name="Streaming"> <httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="67108864" transferMode="Streamed" /> </binding> </customBinding> My service operation is defined as: [OperationContract] Stream GetData(string sql); When hosted using a ServiceHost (console applicaiton), the stream works as expected. The client immediatley returns from GetData and can begin accessing the stream. However, when I host the same service within IIS (5.1 and 6), the client does not return from the GetData call until the stream is completed (closed). It appears that ASPNET is buffering the ent ...Show All

• SQL Server Images

  When you have a column property set to image, does it link to or does it embed the image in the table Davids Learning Hi ! If you are in SQL Server 2005, I would prefer the VARBINARY(MAX),as the IMAGE and the TEXT are tro be deprecated in further versions. If you are on SQL Server 2000, I would prefer using either the IMAGE or the TEXT (in common it makes no difference, because they are nearly implemented the same way, beside that the TEXT type has some extra function which on work on that type). In this case, as you appearantly will need no functions of the TEXT type, I would choose IMAGE. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista VMR9 with D3D9 debug-runtime (xp, sp2) failure?!

  Hello everybody... This is my first posting here (maybe it gets more attention than on m.p.w.p.dirextx.video) now to my problem: just as I described in the postings title I'm having serious troubles using the d3d9 (not dshow/quartz) DEBUG-runtime with the vmr9. Basically using the d3d9-debug version causes the vmr9 to bail out as soon as I try to call IVMRSurfaceAllocatorNotify9::SetD3DDevice. The failure (for the SetD3DDevice-call) is E_NOINTERFACE, using the quartz-debug version (SP1) I can see the following: ODS: quartz.dll(tid 1438) 488 : Failed !FAILED(hr = lpD3DDevice->QueryInterface(IID_IDirect3DVideoDevice9, (LPVOID*)&lpVidDev)) at line 1804 of file d:\builds\nt32_chk\multimedia\dshow\filters\image9\video\vmrfilte ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Duplex bindings vs Async

  Please excuse my ignorance. I would like to understand what the difference between these two patterns is: 1. use a Duplex contract to do callbacks to the Client 2. Client hosts a service endpoint for callbacks and passes the endpoint address as a parameter to the Server so that it can callback using a service proxy. (2) is possible with none duplex bindings so... What does (1) provide that you don't get from (2) Does the duplex contract do both the service request and the callback in one session context I'm sure there are some subtleties here that I don't see. Thanks, Ting I've never actually done 2 personally but I can see how it would definitely be more work. Using the duplex binding gives the server a ...Show All
