• Commerce Server How to search the UserObject by a custom property

  Hello, I have extended the UserObject with a custom property called 'PartnerId' (type of string). With Commerce Server Manager I enabled the Physical attribute 'indexed' in the DataSource section. In the Profile Definition Section I checked the 'searchable' option. I have been able to assign value to this field programmatically. This means the property is configured properly. With the customer and order manager I am also able to search the user by this PartnerId. When I try to get the user profile by partner id I keep getting errors. This is the syntax that I use to get the profile: _UserProfile = csContext.ProfileSystem.GetProfile("GeneralInfo.PartnerId","ABCD1234","UserObject") ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. When you work with MAPI properties, you need to make sure you release items promptly so that you don't get conflicts between an item still held in memory and the item the user sees in the UI. It may even be necessary to force GC.Collect. ...Show All

• .NET Development using statement on SqlDataReader

• Visual C# Dumb question

  Can anyone tell me whatwould be needed here to set the value to '0' zero and/or format the double. public double F04 { get { return this .Field04; } set { this .Field04 = value ; } } <newbie > Ok I get it Now I am not sure if you can directly display a double value as 0.00 the problem is Double is not an object it is a primitive type which means it is not a class rather a Struct. there for it will not have null rather 0 as a default value. But there is good news you can work around this here is how your current Propertry is like this double Field04; public double F04 { get { if ( this .Field04==0) th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Getting compressor color depth capabilities

  I was wondering if it were possible to get the color bit depths that the system codecs supported. (i.e. some only support 256 colors, others only 24-bit) Upon enumerating through all the system codecs via hr = pSysDevEnum->CreateClassEnumerator(CLSID_VideoCompressorCategory, &pEnumCat, CDEF_DEVMON_CMGR_DEVICE | CDEF_DEVMON_FILTER); You can get the name of the compressor using the IPropertyBag interface. You can also get the keyFrame, quality and dataRate capabilities via IAMVideoCompression interface. Is there a similar interface to get supported bit depths The closest thing I can think of is reading the AM_MEDIA_TYPE of the output pin(s). Note that some compressors don't report output media types ...Show All

• SQL Server Mix and Match Rows

  In the trading (stock market) industry there is a practice of rolling up (merging) multiple trades into a single trade in an effort to save on ticket charges. The way this is done is performing a SUM() on the quantities and calculating an average price. (Average price is the SUM(Qty * Price) / SUM(Qty). So, given : Qty     Price 20      $5 20      $10 You get: 40      $7.5           -- 20 + 20 and SUM(20 * $5, 20 * $10) / SUM(20 + 20) Here is my dilema: If given a set of trades, I need to loop through them and check every combination to determine which one matches the expected ...Show All
