• Software Development for Windows Vista Can I make a file accessible to write under IE protected mode by setting the file to low integrity level

  We have a IE add-on component that needs to write some data to a log file under C:\\ProgramData\\MyFolder folder. We hope it can work under IE protected mode too. But now it only works when IE is not in the protected mode. I understand that only some special folders ( \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files, \Users\$USER$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History) are accessible for IE protected mode for security. After reading the article belows http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/IETechCol/dnwebgen/ProtectedMode.asp I tried to lower the resource (the file and its parents folders) integrity level as low with the following codes. And SetNamedSecurityInfo call return S_OK. Bu ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView date issue

  hi all... I have a DatagridView populated by a database. One of the colums holds datetime values, but it seems that the DataGrid stores those values as txt.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Way to get property from an persisted workflow instance

  Dear all, How can I retrieve Workflow Properties from an workflow instance (either loaded and persisted) Please help. Thanks. Andy Ho Bill, Thanks again for your reply. For example, when I start the state machine workflow, I passed the claim amount as EventArgs to the Workflow. Then the workflow will be persisted, tracked and idled. At one state, the Manager need to approve on the claim amount, so I want to design an interface which shows the manager all the outstanding claims id (and their claim amounts). But at the moment, I don't know how to retreive the claim amount (or some other properties) from the workflow but before the workflow completed (as I can use the e.OutputParamet ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "remote side security requirement was not fulfilled..."

  I am new to WCF and want to learn about setting up security between server and client. I have read Keith Brown's article in the August MSDN magazine, which explains things clearly but I need more sample code, showing particularly how to configure endpoints, bindings and behaviors to set up message-based and transport-based security via the app.config file. I have come across a couple of blog entries with sample code, but they are from earlier times and the APIs have changed sufficiently that they don't build any more.   I am now using RC1, the latest. (Trying to figure this out from just reading the docs is HARD!) I don't think the error has to do with protection level, if you didn't change the ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to know ColumnResize in DataGridView

  DataGrid.HitTestInfo gives the ColumnResize and RowResize information but this information is not exposed by the DataGridView.HitTestInfo. Does anyone know the reason for it and any way to access this information Hi Akbar, Let me give some background to it. I do not have any event handler on the datagrid. I just have the point where user has clicked on the DataGridView. In Datagrid if I get the point I can find resize information from the Datagrid HitTest Info but now it is made as internal. Is there any way to know about the column/row resize with just the datagridview hit point information. Thanks, Nitin Sharma ...Show All

• SQL Server grouping rows by customer

  my source flat file has many rows per customer, but I need to transfer it to database with only one row per customer and accumulated sales (and probably do other calculations and lookups). I understand how to do stuff with derived columns, but how can I read source file first, calculate, group and then save to database As I understand, the script offers only processing row by row: Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer) Thanks Vlad The Aggregate transformation does more than Group By. You don't want to do this in script. You can do SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX with the Aggregrate Transformation. If you need to then do something else combine the Derived Column Transformation ...Show All
