• Internet Explorer Development Disable/Hide IE7 Command Bar

  hi, I just download and install IE7. Don't like the tab browsing thing and try to revert back to familar IE6 menu bar etc. Manage to get back classic menu on TOP of address bar (which IE7 never provide such option) after some google search. Tries to remove all icons in command bar. But after restart a new IE7, the defaults icons came and is quite annoying. No matter how many times I remove, they will still come back. Discover the command bar cannot "move" to be inline (at least) with address bar even toolsbar is unlocked. Also unable to find any solution to disable or hide it. Any one knows how to disable/hide the Command Bar Thank you. I did do this but still have the Co ...Show All

• SQL Server yyyymmdd text data into a datetime field in SQL Server?

  Hello, I have an Excel spreadsheet that contains 100,000 + rows of data. Two of the columns in the spreadsheet are date fields that are sent over in the yyyymmdd format (no separators such as "-" or "/"). I tried converting these fields into dates using the Data Conversion task in SSIS. This doesn't work as it appears that SSIS cannot map a string in the format of yyyymmdd to a valid date. In lieu of this, I have added a Script Component to my transformation which can take the string and convert it to a date value using some Substring() calls on the source yyyymmdd string. A few questions for the group ... 1. Is this there a more efficient or "better" way of performing this transformation 2. I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error creating worspace from web application on windows server 2003

  Hi I have a web app that displays to the users, a list of files & the user can choose which file they would like to check in. Once the user has selected the files to be checked in, I will launch a separate windows process that will actually get the checkin location of each file, determine if it needs to be checked in & do the same. Since the windows process is launched from the web application, to account for permissions issue I set < identity impersonate = " true " userName = "xxxxxxxxxx" password = " xxxxxxxxx " /> in the web.config where the username is my domain log in accnt.This worked fine on my dev box. But when I dropped it on the windows server box, I get the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Possible that Update() is multi-threaded?

  I'm getting a REALLY strange exception. It only occurs when I run my game via Ctrl-F5 (rather than F5) and even then I can't always reproduce it. It's in a bit of code that is simply a foreach-loop on a List<> of Particles and calling Update(elapsed) on each of them. The error occurs on the first line of Particle.Update() which is "base.Update(elapsed)" which calls the Sprite class' Update()... which has no indexes in it. At the end of the loop I look for any particles that need to be removed from the list and do so. Based on what little debug information I can get, it looks like it's an internal error in System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal... Count is zero, which pretty much should never be the case... there's alw ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums dll's in VBA

  Currently in my VBA programs, I'm finding myself repeating a lot of code and functionality across different projects, and it would be great from a maintenance point of view if I could create something similar to a .dll, that I could import into a project and use. Furthermore, if circumstances change and I need to change how a sub-routine works in the .dll for example, all projects using it will benefit from the updated code. I know that you can export modules and class modules and then import them into other projects, but this seems a bit limited. First, if i wanted to change how a sub-routine worked in either the saved .bas or .cls files for example, how do I do that Second, how would projects that use either of these two files benefit ...Show All
