• Visual C++ Integrating the Platform SDK with Visual Studio

  Well I, It looks like you really now what you are talking about. I was just wondering, I just downloaded Visual and SDK but I am really confused on the steps. Step 3: this is where I have to update the directories, I just dont get it. !!! I have no clue how to do that. HELP The directories are tools->options->projects and solutions->vc++ directories. These are the environment variables for the IDE at runtime, so if you mess them up then it could lose vital dll files. ...Show All

• .NET Development Add XmlAttribute to simple type property?

  Hi, Suppose I have this class: public class Test {   private int aNumber = 10;   public int ANumber   {       get { return aNumber; }       set { aNumber = value; }   } } How to add a XmlAttribute (like type) to the property ANumber to get this: <ANumber xsi:type="int">10</ANumber>  I could make an "IntType" class which would allow to declarative put an attribute on "ANumber" but that would break some integration and is therefore not an option. Can it be done otherwise The class is serialized automatically as part of a Webservice. -- Werner   The only way to do that is to declare the ANumb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Tackling an issue

  Hi all, I'll try to describe this as best I can. If it gets a little confusing, let me know and I'll try to rephrase everything I've said! For the past few weeks I've been trying to get my head around VB2005EE. After reading a few books and tutorials I feel that I'm almost ready to go ahead and build my first "real" program to distribute. The program I have in mind should be nothing complicated, but I'm a little confused on how to build the key feature. Without giving too much away, my idea is to build a large database on every ride, roller coaster and theme park in the world. Each entry will feature statistical information on the particular attraction, along with media (video/pictures), location etc. - this will mean I'll have ...Show All

• SQL Server Running DTS packages from 2005 SQL Server

  Hi DBAs, I have a dilemma and I hope you can help me with it… Here is the deal: I am migrating a database from 32-bit SQL Server 2K to 64-bit SQL Server 2005. There is a DTS package that transfers data between my old database and a Sybase db. There is no Sybase client on my new server. I stored the DTS package on a server that has all providers available and changed the connection strings pointing to the newly migrated 2005 database. There is a batch file stored on the same server as the package that initiates it using dtsrun command. The package executes successfully if I run it from the host server; however every attempt of calling the batch file from the 2005 64-bit box gives me provider errors. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A Simple 2D Map Editor

  I've built a simple XNA 2D map editor for fun that mixes xna and winforms. It supports 20 layers, multiframe and animating textures, and has grid snap. It's very basic and small, intended mainly as a learning experience. Grab here: http://webpages.charter.net/kharza/WorldWalker.zip Enjoy! Kenneth Thanks for the suggestions! Feel free to put it on your site if you wish. I didn't even think about the layer's scrolling differently. That seems like a no brainer. I was thinking in top down ultima mode. The flickering sprite shows which placed sprite is selected in the layer editor. With the layer editor you can change the values for the individual sprites placed down, or delete them.

• Smart Device Development How to Loading a form fast??

  Hi All, I'm developting a pocket PC application using CF1.0. On one to my forms I have about 30 buttons. When I load this form (using <form>.Show) there is a small delay displaying it and the form loads each button one at a time. How can I get this form to load quickly and display all button at once Thank Coss well you would expect a bit of delay since it has to draw the amount of objects on the form/screen. if you place 1 button on the form, it will of course load faster than 30 buttons I'm sure there maybe another way but not sure myself ...Show All

• SQL Server Import MSSQL Tables

  Is there a way in SQL 2005 Express Edition to import/export data from another MSSQL Server Something similar to the right click/ import table functionality of MSSQL2000. I've read similar threads which all recommend using MS Access but there has to be a better way, right regards, dj Hi DJ, SQL Express, and Management Studio Express, don't include the Import/Export wizard because that wizard is dependent on SSIS, a component that is not part of SQL Express. There are a number of different ways to accomplish this depending upon your need including Access. Since you are going from SQL to SQL, I would recomend the following: Script out the table from your source database and then use the script to create the same table ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Additional data from RP to IP/STS

  Hi! We are planning to integrate Cardspace into our governmental identification system. This would include requests to the RP through browsers and a local IP/STS. Actually our system uses an XML digital signature as token. This signature is based on an XML stylesheet provided by the RP. Reading through the docs I couldn't figure out if it is somehow possible to pass arbitrary XML data from the RP (the website with the xhtml/object IC code) to the local IP/STS!

• SQL Server Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why ?

  Database Mail Fails For SQL Server Agent Jobs / Maintenace plans - Why This has been a very common question I have seen relatedt to Database mail and I thought will post here so if you run into this issue, it could be due to one of the following and also have mentioned below how to get around them. Bottom line is datbase mail works fine with SQL Agent jobs and maintenace plans in SP1 on all platforms. 1. If you see this on 64 bit platform and on RTM build, this is a bug that is addressed in SP1. 2. If you see the below error message, it is known issue and this is because of design that requires SQL Agent to restart, if SQL Agent was started before enabling databasemail and setting a new profile. We are evaluating to change this d ...Show All
