• Visual C++ SNMP Set issue.

  Hello! I am developing an SNMP application using the WinSNMP APIs. I have been able to query the resource using the SnmpSendMsg(). The Pdu_type was set to SNMP_GET_PDU. Now that i have to "Set" the value for the object, i have used SNMP_SET_PDU flag. But the confusing part is that i am not sure where and how to put in a new value that needs to be set. Does the new value need to be put in the 'varbindlist', at the index following the OID Please suggest the right approach. Also, could anyone please elaborate on the VarBindList in brief. As, till now i only know that it is used to send the OID. Waiting for reply. Hello Re: SNMP Set issue. Such questions are outside the scope of this fo ...Show All

• SQL Server Suspect database / Norton antivirus

  Anyone ever heard of Norton Antivirus putting a database in SUSPECT mode Thanks, Jim Yep. When the SQL Server is starting up, AV utilities might have a scan lock on the database files causing SQL Server to fail to get an exclusive lock on the files, therefore the database comes up suspect. That is why you want to exclude your database files from any AV scanning. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customizing team build number?

  When Team Build launches, it automatically assigns a build number of the format: <BuildTypeName>_<YYYYmmdd>.<number> This is pretty heinous and means essentially nothing to our QA department who is used to build numbers like 5.30.010. Under other circumstances I wouldn't be so picky but I've just discovered that the bug tracking uses these numbers to populate its drop down list of build numbers. Is there any way to change this number I suspect from what I know about Team Build that the answer will be no. I have thought of a work around but I would really not go through the hassle (the work around being to change the name of the build type before every build by using a tf rename command, such that it would be som ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Installer - "Change" action does not require admin password in "Programs and Features"

  Why does Windows Vista not prompt for admin password when selecting "Change" in "Programs and Features" Even a limited user is able to add or remove features from our installed product. The strange thing is that the installer prompts for elevation when installing and uninstalling. This appears to be a bug in Vista only (and a pretty serious one at that). On XP, only an administrator can change the set of installed features. Our installer has ALLUSERS set to 1 and ARPNOMODIFY set to 0. Mike Morrison Yes, the MSI is signed. Elevation is also not required if you run the installer and choose "modify" from the MaintenanceType dialog. I'm not exactly sure what you mean with your que ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot persist passwords -- please fix

  It appears to be impossible to save credentials in Team Explorer when prompted for them.  It also appears to be "by design." If you look at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client, in the Win32CredentialsProvder's GetCredentials(Uri uri, ICredentials failedCredential), the CredUIHelper is called with the NO PERSIST and ALWAYS SHOW UI flags. Can this please be fixed so that we're allowed to store credentials and have them used silently Thanks, --Oren Oren, the behavior that you are describing is by design. I am interested in creating a Critical Design Change request to fix this issue. Can you email me at jeffmck @ microsoft.com and we can start the process Thanks, Jeff ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF designer for C++ (From: C++/CLI great, but, w/o full WPF and WF support in the VS 2005, C# only alternative)

  So does all that mean there will be a WPF designer for C++ or there wont. And if so, when, and in what product Ralph Trickey wrote: If I'm using C# for WPF, why bother with C++ Well, if you cannot find a single reason for still using C++ then you definately should use C# all the way. In fact you should thank your lucky star that Visual C++ came along and helped you making this decision. PS. Using C# for WPF is just one alternative, you can also use procedural code or load XAML dynamically. ...Show All

• .NET Development InvalidOperationException for operations sharing the same output message

  I have created a .NET client to consume a web service (not .NET). I used WSDL.exe to generate the .NET cloent proxy. The problem is I get a runtime error (such as below) if more than one operation is included in the proxy that uses the same output message (e.g., ResponseElementName=ResultCodeStruct) The WSDL has several operations using the same output message. WSDL.exe generated method signature: [System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAttribute("", RequestNamespace="urn:testit", ResponseElementName=" ResultCodeStruct ", ResponseNamespace="urn:testit", Use=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapParameterStyle.Wrappe ...Show All

• Architecture Objects with many child object relations - Need design help!

  Hello, First let me start by saying that I am just getting started with OOP and Domain driven design so please take it easy on me. I am designing a domain model that consists of PROJECT objects that can contain ISSUE objects that can contain other objects like NOTES and ATTACHMENTS. There will be times in which my application will need to populate each PROJECT object along with all related child objects. However, sometimes I just need to get a list of PROJECTS to fill a dropdown or list UI control. In this case I just need some basic PROJECT properties like name and ID. I think it would be too much overhead if I populated all child objects just to fill a list (especially if there are many PROJECTs). Shoud I create 2 separate PROJ ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication: periodic initial snapshot not yet available

  I have a push subscriprion (publisher sql2000, distributor 2005, subscriber sql2005) that periodically (twice per month) changes it's status to " ... initial snapshot not yet available ...". Then I need to mark it as for reinitialization and start the snapshot agent (starting the snapshot agent without marking it for reinitilization doesn't starts the subscription to initilize itself). There is nothing important in the logs. Any suggestion why this may happen The network connections between distributor and subscribers sometimes are broken (it's over VPN), but there is a couple of other replication that goes the same way and they are fine... What is your retention period, and how often are you synchronizing If it's default ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle: Is it possible to get rid of fully qualified type names?

  When I generate html pages using the vs2005 styles, I've noticed that it seems that all links to types are named with a fully qualified name. It's one thing that the text talks about, say System.Random instead of just Random, but some of my types have 4 or even 6-part namespaces, and that's really destroying readability. Is there a switch where I can change this behavior, so that links will only display the type name, and no namespace information Interestingly, when methods are displayed, they are displayed using just the type name and no namespace, but here, the method name would have sufficed (created better readability). Hopefully, that situation doesn't occur too often in the same document. Typically, it will be quite clear ...Show All
