• Office Live Development Adding data to custom list

  We are building a custom application for office live. Here we are using a form web part that would accept data from the user in a wizard like format and would save that data into a custom list. We are trying to figure out how to store the data in the custom list, but have not received any success so far. I tried using the UpdateListItems method of the sharepoint web service Lists.asmx, but have been unable to do so. If I try to invoke the web service from a console application programatically, I get an 'Object moved to ' error referring to a login.live.com url. I am wondering if I am moving in the right direction. What I need to know is exactly how can we save data to a custom list, using the sharepoint web service or otherwise. T ...Show All

  Is it indeed a requirement that database mirrors have the same name on a server The reason I ask is that I have several servers with the same database name, and I'd like to mirror all of them to a single (disaster) server and, by necessity, have each mirror to a distinct db name.

• Smart Device Development VS2005 and WinCE4.2...?

  Hello, I get a device with WinCE 4.2 installed and I want to adapt my program written for WinCE5.0 for this WinCE4.2 installed device. When I click Change Target Platform in the Project menu, I can not see Windows CE 4.2 in the combobox. How can I do this Thanks in advance. Yes, NETCF V2 SP1 adds runtime support for CE 4.2. That does not change VS in any way as NETCF is not VS. With SP1 you can run NETCF V2 applications on CE 4.2 which you’ve developed in VS 2005 using CE 5 as target. ...Show All

• Visual Studio I need help with installing SQL Server 2005 Express

  Dear MSDN, I'm having a problem with installing SQL Server 2005 Express. In the past, I installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta (with SQL Server 2005 on it) and it runs fine. But I made a mistake uninstalling the beta version. I used the Control Panel and uninstalled the components in random order. When I installed the Express Edition, SQL Server 2005 Express failed to install, but Visual Studio 2005 Express is running fine w/o SQL Server on it. I need to install SQL Server 2005. Please help me how to fix this. Thanks. If you had a beta version - you need to remove it using the removal tool also. In addition, you need to explain the error messages you get. If you uninstall VS2005 Beta, try ru ...Show All

• .NET Development Get Ressources of a referenced assembly

  I have an simple assembly A that refernces (linked) another assembly B that includes ressources (png files) that I want to use in assembly A. I included the png images into assembly B just via Visual Studio --> add new item --> build action --> embedd as ressource. When I look into assembly B using .NET refelctor I find the ressource directly under the ressources folder: public resource MyNameSpace.MySubNameSpace.FileFolderName.ImageFileName.png how can I acess this file in assembly A. I suppose I have to use the RessourceManager but I fail to find the correct parameters for its contrsuctors. Try Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(). You can then load the bitmap with the Bitmap(Stream) constructor. ...Show All

• Visual Basic The simplest copy n paste destroys code behind link - ridiculous time wasting nonsense

  Novice using vb.net 2005, vb.net 2005 express, vb.net 2005 pro This situation is just down right insulting and another ridiculous time wasting feature of the MS IDE. I've placed a split container on my form. Then cut and pasted a group of controls that are already present on the form with linked code behind already working onto one split panel and another group on another split panel. Nothing works. I've now got to step thru my code and manually update the handles on each and every event from the controls I've cut and pasted just to test the look n feel even before deciding to use the split container model. This: Private Sub btnReports_Click( ByVal sender As System. Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnReports. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Postbuild and prebuild scripts

  I am using the newly released CTP 5 and have been trying to use the postbuild scripts and prebuild scripts to add certificates as well as permissions for a database. However, when I try to deploy the project I get an error saying that it can't find a procedure when trying to assign the permissions and it looks like the postbuild scripts and prebuild scripts are being combined and run together, both before any of the other database scripts (tables, procedures, functions, etc.) are deployed. My question is there a better way to deploy the permissions for the database other then putting them in the postbuild script or is there a way to fix it so that the postbuild scripts is run only after the main database scripts are run ...Show All

• .NET Development AccessViolationException with C# Ping class

  I have a "watchdog" program, c# console application, coded with VS 2005. Program runs every 3 minutes. And one part of program checks pings to ~20 ip's. I'll give that function code: static private bool ping ( ref String ip) { bool success = false ; Ping pingSender = new Ping (); if (pingSender.Send(ip).Status.Equals( IPStatus .Success)) { success = true ; } else { success = false ; } return success; } Usually this works.. but sometimes (once a day on the average) it throws an exception and program crashes: Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. I checke ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I send data from my application to a database?

  I am just learning how to use Visual Studio and I was wondering if someone could help me out with a problem I cannot figure out. I am working on an application, composed of drop-down boxes that are from various tables, and I can not figure out how to send the selected data from the drop-down boxes to a database.
