Smart Device Development Unable to change deployment directory to point to storage card!
i got a Dopod smartphone 577W running windows mobile 5.0. As the available ram in the phone is very limited, i would like to deploy my programs into the storage card instead. So, i fitted a micro sd card(1gig) into the phone and it was detected correctly. when i go to properties tab of VS2005 to change the 'Output file folder (generated)' directory, i found that i wasn't able to modify that field as it was masked out! When i tried to changed the 'Location of the output on device' from the drop down menu, there was no option to select storage card. i've verified that the storage card is working correctly. pls help! thanks! here's a screenshot: <a href=" http://photobucket.com " target="_bla ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Deploying to 360
Hi, In the XNA Faq, when it talks about giving a project to other people to deploy on their 360's, it says you must give them all the assets and source code, so that they can build the program and squirt it onto their 360. My question is: will it work if you give them a project with the C# source files removed ie they have the assets (either as source graphics and sounds, or the built files) and the .obj's, just not the C# source. What happens if the project is dependant on an external DLL Will I need to ship a project that builds this, too Again, can I get away with excluding the C# source Many thanks, Mark No, you must currently supply the source as the project must be opened in Game Studio Express and ...Show All

.NET Development notifyIcon works with windows forms but not services....
If I create a NotifyIcon in a designer of a windows application and assign an icon to it - it works just fine. It shows up in the tray, and behaves just as it should. However, if I create it in a windows service, then install that service and run it - the icon doesn't show up in the tray. I have no idea why. Any suggestions oh also, I couldn't find a better forum to post this in, so hope this works. for that u have to set the properties of your service as Service type : Automatic and Account : Local System account. change that in your property window or you can do it programattically. Programatically , the following can help u. In your ProjectInstaller.Designer.cs, this .serviceProcessInstaller1 ...Show All
Windows Search Technologies What's the name of the 'Preview Text' column
Hmm, as all the column names have changed/aligned in WDS 3.0, does anyone know what the 'preview text' is now called for a query string. In WDS 2.X it was called 'Characterization' but nothing similar looks like it's in X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Search\Config\msscolmn.txt... Also, is there a nice regkey like 'WatchLog' that put out the queries to file anymore - that would help a lot... Ok, from this moment on, (umm, -> <- this one, just there, like now), I'm going to wait at least 15 minutes before posting a question I find the answer to 14 minutes later. The answer is 'System.Search.AutoSummary'. ...Show All

Smart Device Development Breakpoints do not get hit...
Hello, a colleague has big troubles debugging compact framework 2.0 applications from his VS2005 environment (to be more specific: he has hijacked my PC because the troubles do not occur there ). The problem is that every CF2.0 application he runs will not break when run on a device, but the same application runs and hits the breakpoints on the device emulator. It doesn't matter if it is a big multi-project solution or just a simple little HelloWorld project, the debugger just isn't interested in breakpoints anymore. We searched over this forum, but none of the solutions work for him. Some of the things we found and tried are: Deleting de bin/obj folders. Showing the Debug toolbar. ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Load test performance after IE 7 Beta 3 install
I'm noticing that load tests for web-services are noticeably slower when IE 7 Beta 3 is installed. Before I installed IE 7 B3 I was noticing an average response time in my test of about 5 seconds, with multiple tests. After I installed IE 7 B3 the average response time more than doubled to 11 seconds with multiple tests. After un-installing IE 7 B3 the response time seems to have returned to about 5 seconds. This is by no means scientific; but certainly not ignorable. Has this already been observed Josh Christie MS wrote: Right, I wouldn't think IE7 beta 3 would affect anything on the client or the server, but it appears that the "default" proxy setting is the problem. Try blanking that property out since &qu ...Show All

Visual Studio Integration Service - DomainObjectId
The guide states: "Make sure that every Domain Class that you will want to make available for referencing has one Domain Property with its IsElementName property set to true as this will be considered by the service to be the identifier of the target class." All my classes are derived from NamedElement which has a name property that has the IsElementName set, so that should be fine. But my NamedElement class is double derived. So when I try to use integration services I get a messagebox with: "Unable to locate DomainObjectId in type "NameElement". Which is true of course because that atrribute is on NameElementBase since it's double derived. Moving / copying the attribute to NameElement seems to make the D ...Show All
