• Software Development for Windows Vista missing winable.h

  Hi, I've installed Windows SDK RTM and associate the SDK with Visual Studio 2005 by clicking "Integrate Windows SDK with Visual Studio 2005" in the start menu. But after doing so, some of my projects cannot be built any more. After some investigation, I've found that there're several missing files. For example, winable.h oleacc.idl are missing. They're in the Platform SDK included in Visual Studio 2005. So can I use the 2005's include files anyway or are there any other workaround for this Thanks in advance, I understood the situation. But the problem is that we have so many legacy codes which depends on these files and the codes should keep compatible with older Visual Stud ...Show All

• SQL Server replace out of range dates

  Hi, I'm migrating data from access 2003 to sql server 2005. An access table contains dates like 5/1/0999. This is a date that is out of the datetime range from sql server. Now my question is ... How do I replace these dates I don't find something like IsDate in the expressions Ok I did it with a Derived Column task. It replaces the date column values who have out of range dates. (It only checks for dates smaller then 1/1/1753) The expression is like this: [DateToCheck] < (DT_DATE)"1753-1-1" (DT_DATE)"1753-1-1" : [DateToCheck] ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Trouble exporting textured models from 3ds Max

  Hi folks, I've searched for and read several threads on exporting .fbx files from 3dx Max, but I'm afraid my newbiness leaves me with more basic questions than others are asking. I have no trouble exporting an .fbx model from Max and displaying it using GSE/XNA -- in fact, it even works if I add a little basic material within Max, such as a simple solid blue material. My troubles begin when I apply a premade .bmp texture (made by me in Photoshop) to the model in Max and then try to export. I didn't do any fancy mapping when I applied the texture to the model; I just dragged the texture onto a material sphere, then clicked 'apply material to selection.' (Er, should I be "baking" the texture first ) I repeatedly get the compiler ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Bluetooth Virtual Serial Port Problem

  Hello. I am writing a NETCF 2.0 application for my Motorola Q phone running Windows Mobile 5.0. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to develop my application. So basically, what I want to do is send a simple string from my phone to my pc's hyperterminal says "Hello world from the Motorola Q phone". I found that the documentation for the Motorola Q phone says that COM1 is reserved for the Bluetooth serial port. So as for a test, I wrote a simple Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone app that uses the NETCF 2.0 serialport control. All I do is open COM1 and close it when the application is closed. Everything works well initially. The Motorola Q phone notices that my app is trying to open the Bluetooth serial port and prompts me if I wou ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Getting png image from server with http

  hi  we are using http to get data from the server. our data contains lots of text data and image data. problem is we are using streamreader and converting stream to string. after this we gets the iamge data e.g. all data that statrs with PNG and ends to IENDB . and convert it to byte array with encoding.getbytes method. but when we try to create bitmap with this byte array it gives an error " Value does not fall within the expected range ". can anyone suggest what could be the probable problem. most likely problem is it is not recognising some of the chars when converted to string. i guess its a problem of encoding.  we tried now with almost all encoding types available but its not working. pleas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Import form Excel and Export to Access with VB.Net

  Hi im new to .Net and need to create a Windows forms application preferibly in VB.Net. The application needs to take integer values from cells in Excel, collected on an HP iPaq running Windows Mobile 5. It then needs to tranfer the data to an array and Export the data to Access 2003 to be stored.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX managed framework: vertexBuffers, changing modes fails...

  Hi all, I'm currently facing a slight problem where changing mode on my application causes an error with 'Failed Resetting the Direct3D device' message. I'm using the managed direct3D framework and it currently works fine with line and sprite rendering. After added transparent boxes to the system, I got the above error, when mode changing. This I'm assuming is down to not disposing and resetting the vertexBuffer correctly. After reading the help and searching online for examples, I can only see the following; OnResetDevice(...) - Creates and setup the vertexBuffer. I didn't see any other handling of the vertexBuffer, in any of the other calls, ie OnLostDevice() etc. The code works fine and is happy with norma ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) XAML caching issues

  Whenever I change the contents of a WPFE XAML file I have to delete the previously cached file from the Temporary Internet Files directory in order to see the change reflected in the browser. Is this a known issue I’m using IE 7, but Firefox seem to have the same problem. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot! /Billy PS: For debugging purposes, I attempted to write a console app that would automatically remove all the XAML files in the Temporary Internet Files directory upon recompiling my solution. However, since that directory isn’t an actual directory but rather an “illusion” provided by the Windows shell, this is not an easy thing to do. I'm having the same proble ...Show All
