• .NET Development AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath Depricated

  I get a CS0618 that AppDomain.AppendPrivatePath is obsolete. The suggestion is to use AppDomainSetup.PrivateBinPath instead, but no matter how I set it, PrivateBinPath remains null. I am trying to update AppDomain.CurrentDomain after the domain is started. Is AppDomainSetup the correct way to go It seems this would only apply at creation of the domain, and I need to make this modification after the AppDomain has started.

• SQL Server Another Major Flaw with Reporting Services!

  Where is the text (.txt) export functionality I don't see any ascii text export mechanism without the .csv extension. Where is actual .TXT file of the reports. How do I get a .txt conversion out of the reports without messing with the .csv files. I would've wanted direct .txt export from the generation mechanism. This seems extremely basic form of reporting generation. I can't believe you can't get txt report out of reporting services. Enkh. Yes I'm pretty aware with the tradeoffs with the .txt generation of the report. I don't expect the formatting to be so perfect and detailed. Just some basic export function that has everything on the same line and some basic export functionality. In othe ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Anyone to test an Octtree based space game?

  I have a good (I think) version of an Octtree based scene management system. It needs more testing. I have built an Outerspace Game for testing......it needs other things built into it. Right now, there's a space station and 150 ateroid fields and a 3D starfield that you can fly around in. It needs spacecraft, other interesting stuff, like a mother ship. I would like to give the "Loose" Octtree and better test. Here's how it works: The entire space (within the game) is a cube (big sector) that is then divided up into 8 cubes (nodes, sectors) that is the divided into 8 cubes....and so on until a manageable size. Models and Game components can be added to the octree. It finds what node (according to position) that the obje ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF application makes call to server through WCF and hangs

  Hi, OK, this is what we did: Created two console applications, one server, one client. Implemented an server interface and callback. After setting the config files on server and client (using named pipes and WCF) we got everything to work. We are making a call to the server, and within this call, the server calls the client back [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single,ConcurrencyMode=ConcurrencyMode.Reentrant)] Then we switched the client to a WPF (STAThreading). When the WPF app calls the server, the call makes it to the server, but never comes back. The client just times out... The really weird thing is that this only happens if we create the service in the Button handler, code looks like this: [Button handler c ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista R

  Hi there. Yesterday I have installed Vista rc2 (b. 5744) and I tried to install Alcohol 120 Software (virtual cd-rom emulation and creation). Installation seemed fine but after I restarted my system and logged on I had a serious problem - after a few second the screen started somehow "flashing" in blue and black (NOT the classic blue screen). The system did not react and after a few seconds of this flashing it restarted. This repeated a few times. Then I tried to run the system in Safe Mode but in this it did not even started, the error blue screen apperared for a second and the system restarted again. Finally I somehow found some memory repairing tool and after running this the system works OK. I hope this helps you to mak ...Show All

• SQL Server Error when schedule a job in SQL 2005

  Hi, I have a SSIS package that contains an Execute DTS 2000 process. This DTS 2000 is calling a legacy package, which resides on the same server. The legacy package is just to import a flat file into the database. When i right click and execute this package, it runs perfectly without any errors. However, if i try to schedule this package as a job, it keeps failing. I checked the flat file source for the permission, it does have the account of the executor of the package. In the view history, i didn't see any more information about why it is failing. It keeps saying "The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 10...." Does anyone have any ideas Thanks, I turned on the log and it wrote to the application log eve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IIS Virtual Directory and Team Suite Branch

  I have a Visual Studio solution checked into a Team Suite Project. One of the projects in this VS solution is an ASP.Net web application setup with a HTTP location and a virtual directory on my local IIS on my development computer. This Team Suite Project was Branched. When I went to open up the Team Suite Project Branch, the web application project was empty because the IIS virtual directory was pointing to a different source location. What is more disturbing is that when I went to open up the previous Team Suite Project the web application was empty there and in the Windows Explorer the source code was gone!. Does Team Suite only work with ASP.Net web applications that have a "File System" location ...Show All
