  How to add soft keys / menus to Windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc MFC dialog based application I am able to create the menu resource. But I am not able to add the menu to the dialog as I normally do in desktop MFC application. When I select the dialog properties, it is not showing the "Menu" option where I can specify the name of my menu resource.

• Visual Basic VB 2003 & .Net 1.1 - Data Write/Read Issue

  Hi, Working upon an embedded application and have conclusively found the following issue. I have an application that was written before in VB6 that has been upgraded successfully to VB.Net 2003. All issues resolved except the following. Previously, we used the Win32 API to make data writes to a logical disk upon the PC. With the current code, we have upgraded to use the FileStream .Net approach to make all data writes and reads. For interest sake, this is an embedded application that keeps some data in a specific logical drive. The issue is as follows, when I power off the PC and power on, the data is being trashed upon the logical drive where it is being written. I am almost certain that the VB.Net approach we have imple ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Feature Requests: Database subset, Multiple Databases, and Linked Servers

  Database Subset This feature request is from a Software Developer's point of view who has to manage his own database tables where there are no Database Professionals to help them with schema changes. The database design at my work groups serveral different "subset" databases into one database. For example, Application #1 uses Tables with "App1_" prefix. Application #2 uses Tables with "App2_" prefix. However, all those tables are inside under "MyDB_1" database. I can't help but I have to work with it. Possibility #1 Since Application #1 is the one I mantain, I want the Visual Studio to only store a subset of the database schema for each individual project. Possibility #2 Or, I want to b ...Show All

• SQL Server clustering and db mirroring

  Hi I know there was a previous thread on setting up DB Mirroring and Clustering where DB Mirroring would failover first because its faster than clustering. But is there a way to set up servers to allow clustering to failover first and then use DB Mirroring failover if the cluster node fails. thanks P Not with HA operating mode. Any cluster failover will cause a failover of Database Mirroring if you have high Availability operating mode configured.

• SQL Server SSIS Auditing example

  Greetings SSIS friends, Do any of you guys have a link to a website with an example of how to create a solid audit system for SSIS packages Thanks for your suggestions in advance. Hi Rafael, Are you referring to the SQL Server 2005 Data Quality Solutions white paper I already have this and I have also read the section on Auditing but the document is much more high level and I was hoping for a more detailed session on this forum. The white paper mentions creating a schema consisting of perhaps 5 tables (which seem too much for my liking) but perhaps a detailed discussion here might convince me of their usage ...Show All

Could you please help me in this regard If this is related to MFC, you should take it to the newsgroups.
