• SQL Server Embed SQL Native Client (SNAC) into my setup

  Hi I have seen in the licence of SNAC that it is a redistribuable piece of software. That's fine to me However, when we install the MSI file, it places dll files into <windir>\system32. Our policy, when possible, is to install everything we need into the install dir of our software (to work with validated sub-systems). Is it possible to parametrize the installation of SNAC for the place where files are written, or to install the files ourselves as part of our distribution Regards -- C. Dore I don't believe that it has been publicly announced how upgrades of SNAC will be handled for unreleased versions. Future releases of SNAC could live side by side, or instead it could upgrade the existing SNAC bits on the computer. What I d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Configuring Unit Tests to Run in TFS Build Type

  I have a build type set up that includes a .vsmdi file, which has a test list configured, which I chose when creating it. However, when I run the build type, it gets to the testing part and the buildlog.txt reports: : warning : Test <test name> cannot be found. It has four such messages, for the four tests in the test list. So, it can see the test list, but can't find the tests to run when needed. What am I doing wrong TIA jdn The only way I can see your tests not being found is if your build is going against a build type that doesn't contain the test projects or if your test projects aren't configured as "test projects". By that I mean, that they don't have the approp ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. xBox 360 and Windows Development

  From what I understand the whole point of XNA is to provide an environment for developers to develop games that can run on both the xbox 360 and Microsofts Windows XP. However, when I create a new project I notice that both the xbox and Windows platforms have two different starter projects. If I create a windows project will it still be able to run on an xbox Or should I create an xbox project and a windows project and just use the same source files Another quick question, please correct me if I am wrong, but xbox 360 support is not supported or implemented in XNA yet correct So even if I create an xbox 360 project, I can't use it till the final release of XNA That is why I posted this, because I want to develop it on Windows till t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions cursor position in textbox

  Can anyone tell me how to define cursor position in "any place" in a textbox The above suggestion worked in the case where the cursor is on the last characater of the text box.However if I move my cursor is in the middle of the text, it always will select the last character instead of selecting the character left to its current position. Have I misunderstood the usage of Cursor.Position Here follows a part of my program: pos= Cursor .Position; num=textBox1.GetCharIndexFromPosition(pos); textBox1.SelectionStart = num; textBox1.SelectionLength =1; thanks....

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Cluster Installation Fail (Error 29503 & 17058)

  When the setup program tries to start the database service (the last step of installation), it indicates an error 29503. The SQL Server service failed to start.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How To: Rename Windows Application (WPF) Form Name & Class Name

  Hi all, I am using Visual Studio 2005 extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (WCF & WPF), November 2006 CTP. I had created a new project of "Windows Application (WPF)" type that is named "WindowsApplication1". How do I can rename the Windows1.xaml to some other name that I prefer If I rename it, some compilation error will appear. Please advice. Thanks! Check the "Build Action" property of your renamed Window1.xaml and make sure that it is set to "Page". And in case you want to rename MyApp.xaml you should check that it is still set to "ApplicationDefinition". I remember seeing some issues around that with the WPF project flavor for Visual Studio 2005. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [PersistOnClose] - Not persisting?

  I have a pretty simple Sequential Workflow with 2 copies of a Custom Activity that simply set some tracking values. Each Activity is decorated with [PersistOnClose] , the Execute function returns an AEC status of Executing and I am using a Queue to return some values to the QueueItemAvailable handler. This handler then ultimately calls CloseActivity(); Each activity sets different tracking values, and what I am seeing is that BOTH activities run, despite the [PersistOnClose] and the CloseActivity Is there anything else I am missing to persist after my activity is completed Regards, Dave   Jon Flanders wrote: Handle the WorkflowRuntime.WorkflowPersisted event just to make sure.

• SQL Server Remote Connections using SQL Server 2005 Developers Enterprise Edition

  I have a problem. I am using the developers version of SQL Server Enterprise edition. I am trying to run a command in MS command prompt: Aspnet_regsql -E -S localhost -ssadd -sstype p After I execute this command, I receive a Name Pipe error that under the default settings, SQL Server doesn't allow remote connections. I took some steps to try to resolve the problem: 1) I googled the interrnet to see if there was any one else who ran into the same problem and if there was a quick resolution. 2) I check SQL Server Books on line about SQL server configuration manager and how to enable remote connections using Name Pipes and TCP/IP. 3) I used C:\WINDOWS\system32\cliconfg.exe to enable Name Pipes and TCPIP to be enable on the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Recognize Pen or Mouse at Control.MouseEnter?

  Hi @all! At the Control.MouseEnter-Event I need to know wether the Control was entered by a pen (Tablet SDK) oder mouse. Is there a way to achieve that The only way I can imagine is by putting an active InkCollector on the control, waiting for the NewInAirPAcket-Event to raise and check the PenID. But I don't want to have the InkCollector being enabled all the time. Furtermore you see the small pen tip after entering the Control, which doesn't look very professional but irritates the user. Any suggestion would be great! Thank you very much! Kind regards TopperDEL Hi Stefan! Thank you very much indeed for your help! It seems to me that this is exactly the solution to my problem.
