• Visual C++ Using CTS in RS232 Comm

  Trying to send data using a COM port to a device that uses CTS to control data flow. Using OpenFile and WriteFile. Setting the dcb.fOutxCtsFlow seems to have no effect on the output stream, the system sends out characters when CTS is not asserted. Thanks for any help, Bob It might be a symantics problem... The device would use RTS to control data flow. To turn the CTS signal on/off at the PC. Is it wired correctly Null modem and all that... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is it a bug in vista?

  When I use VB-scripts to enumerate user account instances from Win32_UserAccount class in WMI repository, a null-set always returns. The script is correct(it works well on 2000 and 2003). I suspect the Microsoft's provider for that class is not compatible with vista. Is it a bug in vista Or, should I use another way to enumerate user account.(My Vista version is Pre-RC1-32bit-5536). Thanks a lots. I am also having this problem. Here is my code - string query = "select * from Win32_UserAccount" ObjectQuery objectQuery = new ObjectQuery( query ); ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope( @ "\\<machine_name>\root\cimv2 " ); scope.Connect( ); ManagementObjectSearcher ...Show All

• Commerce Server Commerce Server 2007 and Peer to Peer replication

  Was wondering if there was any specific thought into accomodating peer to peer replication for commerce server 2007 db's. It appears that the transactions db has done away with identity fields but other cs db's still use them. I was wondering if there was a white paper or even better someone who has already implemented this. Is there anything specific to commerce server I should be aware of before attempting this or do I just need to follow the standard implementation of peer to peer replication Thanks in advance.... -- Sean dpv adds a lot more complexity, well too be honest I'm not experienced with them. I thought that with dpv you couldn't afford a server to go down because every server only had part ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF with raw TCP Clients

  Hi! I'd like to create a WCF Service that receives requests from a raw TCP client. I mean, the client sends a stream of bytes through a given TCP port. My service has to be able to receive the stream of bytes, make some operations, and then respond. Is this king of interoperatibility possible Thanks, Giten. Giten, Using HTTP is an option if you're okay with HTTP's features and constraints. If you do this you are unlikely to write any custom code for the service. Otherwise, you'll need to write a custom MessageEncoder that understands the data your raw TCP client will be sending and knows how to create Messages out of it. Let me know if you'd like to know more about this option. Ondrej ...Show All

• SQL Server Insert date server problem

  I have a table in sql 2005 express, this table has a datetime field. I capture the date of the server like this "05/09/2006 08:17:23 a.m." in a windows form. When I try to insert this date in the datetime field of my data base, the builder show an error like there’s no possible to convert string to date time. The insert statement is like this: Insert into table1 (cod, date1) values (1,'05/09/2006 08:17:23 a.m') I have a succesful insert with a date like '05/09/2006 08:17:23' without the a.m. But when I capture the date now the format is with a.m.. how can I do that hi, usually you should provide a "format" that can be recognized by SQL Server... to do that, "format&quo ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrade SQL 2000 SBS to SQL 2005 64 Bit

  I am in the beginning of upgrading a SQL 2000 DB on a Small business server to a 64 bit 2005 DB on a new box. Is my best method of upgrading to use the "copy" DB function in 2005 If so, what do I need to do to install the management tools on the 2000 box - since this is a 32 bit edition, and I have the 64 bit media You could take a backup on the 2000 server and restore it on your 2005 server. Create the same users on the new server that where on the old server. After restore run sp_change_users_login 'report' in Management studio or Query Analyzer. If names come up in the list you need to map the users in the database to the users in the 2005 server. Create a script that runs sp_change_users_lo ...Show All

• SQL Server Extending Derived Column Transform with custom function library

  When data is imported from our legacy system, the same functions need to be applied to several columns on different tables. I want to build a kind of "Function Library", so that the functions I define can be re-used for columns in several packages. The "Derived Column" transform seems ideal, if only I could add my list of user-defined functions to it. Basically I want to inherit from it, and add my own list of functions for the users to select. Is this possible What other approaches could I take to building about 30 re-usable functions I know what you mean, but you should be able to use your existing transforms or one of the samples as a template, and then add your specific functions, which you would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Configuring Alerts

  Hi, How to configure Email alerts for Test results (Unit test failure /Pass/ Incomplete code coverage) and Code analysis failure for a Team project in Team Foundation Server Thanks in advance..... Yes, you can create custom alerts programmatically. In your case you could create an alert that sends out emails on Build failure. You would then be able to view the build report and find out exactly what caused the build to fail. You may also be able create a custom email message to contain the build log information. I am not sure there is an event that you can hook into for Unit Test failures. -paul ...Show All
