• SharePoint Products and Technologies How to get the corresponding english error message text?

  Hi, I'm getting a german language error message on a german installation of MOSS from a listview web part. I can't find any topics in google et al. with this message, but trying some translated words didn't help either. How can I get the corresponding english message Do I have to install the english language pack Thomas Yes, I normally do the same. I am always working in english language OSes, even at home. But in this case - it's my main MOSS development VM - I installed because I had to create a demoable site in german language and at that time I didn't know about the language packs. All our servers are in english. But that doesn't help me with this error... Do I have a chance to rem ...Show All

• Visual C++ Symbol table and pdb file

  I am reading this book : http://www.iecc.com/linker/linker05.html. It says: "Non-global symbols, usually for debuggers and crash dump analysis. These aren't really symbols needed for the linking process, but sometimes they are mixed in with global symbols so the linker has to at least skip over them. In other cases they can be in a separate table in the file, or in a separate debug info file." For VC++ What is the procedure for cretaing pdb file and symbol table. If i compile in debug mode. 1-) First compiler generate symbol table and put it in .obj file. 2-) Linker generates .pdb file and exe by using symbol table in .obj file. (but exe doent include symbol table) or in debug mode linker doesnt destroy symbol table in obj file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) arbitrary column ordering when invoking Sproc

  hi, i'm using SqlMetal and binding a gridview to the return value of one of the sproc generated methods. it works fine, showing a bunch of records. However the column ordering in the gridview appears to be arbitrary, and is very different to how i have them defined in the sproc. i know i could run a linq query on top of the results selecting them into a new dynamically created class, but that isn't really an option because i'm reflecting the name of the sproc method and wouldn't be able to figure out the correct ordering. am i doing something wrong or is this behaviour normal for completeness sake, i'll include all the relevant bits of code: here is the code to bind the gridview (using autogenerate columns): this.GridView1.DataSource = ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Process for getting XNA game to work on XBox 360

  From my understanding of the XNA Framework and what I can gather from the website I have a question. Please correct me if any of my assumptions are incorrect. The XNA Framework is somewhat like the .Net framework since it is managed code. It is designed so games can be written to work on both a PC using DirectX and the XBox 360 with perhaps a little modification. I take it the XNA framework is just a tool used to create a game. It will not provide you with a way to get code you have written to work on retail 360. What steps would an indie developer have to take in order to get their game on the XBox Live Arcade or the Xbox360 I understand all games have to go through the certification process at Microsoft. I understand that Mi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Webtest playback using fiddler tool

  Hi, For recording the Pop-ups in the application, I am currently using Fiddler tool. It captures all the requests i give. I have saved the sessions as webtest and on playback on the same on VSTS, I can find the popups with the values given inside are missing. My query is, whether anything needs to be done after recording from the fiddler or playback can be done without that Or I have to go for coded test Kindly suggest Thanks - Vijay. That depends... One of the differences I found was that every request in fiddler has the property FollowRedirects set to false. In a normal webtest recording this is set to true. If you expect the page you are redirecting to will change then you need to set this pro ...Show All

Is it possible to read that information (from PDB file or whatever) while error handling There's not much you can programmaticaly do with the stack trace, not that I think you'd really want to.

• Windows Networking Development GQoS vs QoS2 vs qWAVE

  I have some applications that make use of GQoS under XP and Server 2003 and I've heard a lot about QoS changing in Vista. I've been looking all over the MSDN web site, but I'm still a little confused. What's the difference, if any, between QOS2 and qWAVE The qWAVE documentation states that it's "mainly targeted for use by multimedia applications that require network streams on a home network". Does this mean I should still use GQoS for my enterprise applications under Vista and Longhorn Thanks Kevin O'Connor Interactive Intelligence, Inc. Sure. We develop Windows-based telephony systems.

• Visual Basic Using Titlebarinfo API in VB.Net

• .NET Development The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

  I'm having a problem creating a secure channel with a business partner. All certificates are in place, the application runs fine on the development machine. Put it on the 2003 Server, it dies a thousand deaths with "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel". I've seen a lot of people with the same error but apparently many causes. I have a System.Net.Trace.log which shows that it cannot find a matching certificate. Apparently I'm not holding my mouth right. The scenario is the same as posted by SMITHMX 13 Jul 2006 10:09 PM UTC. The only issue that may compound the problem is that I have put certificates in about 40 million places (apparently not in the right one) and I'm not sure if these may ...Show All
