• .NET Development VB.NET: Order XML Files

  Hi there, I'm working a bit with XML files (Since .INI files got old :O) and I got a small question. I'm writing a Media Player which holds playlists, these playlists are saved in XML-files (so the XML file holds where the program can find a specific file). I would like to know whats the best way to move around elements and attributes. Say i have a playlist like: <playlist> <file location=C:\test.mp3 name=test /> <file location=C:\test2.mp3 name=test2 /> <file location=C:\test3.mp3 name=test3 /> </playlist> Now, I want to reorder it a bit, so I place "test3.mp3" on top of my playlist (in the program). The same has to be done by the program in the xml file, could someone explain me h ...Show All

• SQL Server Using one store proc to Add 'Other' segment/slice in a pie chart

  Hello everybody, I am creating a pie chart with a table region in the same report USING only One store procedure . This report may contain unknown number of segments. Here is the thing; if more than 1 data slice is generated with a value less than 10% of the total, then a segment labelled 'other' will be generated, and data from all slices with value < 10% will be added to this 'Other' segment. The problem is that i would like to use only 1 store proc to get the data to the dataset and use this one dataset to provide the data for both the pie chart and the table item. I am hoping to find someway/any internal function to group or the information in pie chart to show the pie chart described like above. The reason i used one s ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver v1.1 and SSL

  Hi folks, I'm trying to figure out if the SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver supports SSL at all. I've downloaded the driver documentation, looked at more web pages than I care to count, and even went as far as to take a stab at guessing at different driver property names in the hopes I might discover some undocumented feature. Each time I try, I come up dry. The following exception shows up in my JBoss log: 2007-01-03 12:13:36,812 WARN [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool] Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The SQL Server login requires an SSL connection.) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying SQL Db with Word 2007 add-in

  Hi, I have an VSTO application for word 2007 that uses an SQL Db as backend to store information retrieved from local files.

Can i use Xcopy feauture with an addin or is the best solution to create a SQL script inside an installer class to create the DB. Or are there any other options available to me.

• Visual Studio Team System Rules work but are not displayed in the tree (VS2005)

  Hi The rules I've made seem to work just fine as I get the warnings from Visual Studio when I build, however when I look for the rules in the Properties window I see only the name of the dll and no rules below it. When I compile against the 1.35 versions of the dlls the rules shows up nicely in the stand-alone FxCop. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong The engine gets hold of the XML file just fine because it is able to get the resolution string when a problem occurs. Jacob Hammer ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using WebService Activities in a Composite Activity (promoting parameters)

  folks, i am trying to use a invokeWebService within a composite activity. the invokeWebService Activity requires the specification of a ProxyClass and a MethodName which is not known when designing the composite activity (but when using the composite activity within another workflow). Hence, I tried to promote the parameters to the composite activity using ActivityBind but the compiler claims that ProxyClass/MethodName are meta properties which are required to be bound at design time. Just to clarify, I want to bind ProxyClass/MethodName at design time, but when designing the workflow using the composite activity and not when designing the composite activity itself. I hope I could explain my problem somewhat clear. any help would be appr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista InstallLocation in registry uninstall information is not being written when using VS2005 Deployment Project

  Per Vista test case 19 of Vista Logo Certifications, HKLM\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode}\InstallLocation can not be null. I am using a simple Setup and Deployment project in VS 2005, and I dont see any option to make that happen. I would have suspected that it would do it by itself.
