• Visual Studio Express Editions .Net 2.0 check + Gzip

  Hello there, I'm writing a program for installing a software package on a lot of computers. There are two things I didn't succeed in. First, I need to check whether the computer has installed dot net framework 2.0 (registerkeys) And the second, I'd like to decompress the files from Gzip files to installable files. Now, I've been seeking all over the internet for tuts how to make a decompressor for a Gzipstream in vb 2005, but i didn't succeed. Is there anyone who has a code snippet for me, with a working Gzip decompressor Greet, Douwe well here is a generally used way of doing this.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Question on XNA performance

  Before I begin, I'd like to say I enjoy the work Microsoft has put into XNA. As I develop for DirectX I find XNA a great tool for possible projects down the road. As I was reading more into the docs, a random question popped up in my head and I thought it was worth asking about here.   Before I get to my question though, I'd like to share how it related to OpenGL's early stage on Vista's platform. The intention for Vista was to have OpenGL 1.4 on there but layered with Direct3D underneath still making calls to the hardware. Esentially, making an OpenGL call would actually call a Direct3D call. Now, we're informed that if an ICD is installed, it will work without Direct3D making calls underneath. The response from developers ...Show All

• Visual Studio Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) Unavailable in VS2005

  My computer had been running great for the past two years until now. I had VS2005 installed, with BIDS and VS For Database Professionals CTP6. I was trying to install Database Professionals CTP7 and it asked me to remove CTP6. I removed CTP6, and again tried to install CTP7. It said that I needed Visual Studio Team System installed (but I already had it installed!) After that, everything started taking a *** and I couldn't open anything anymore - it seemed all my project types were screwed. I started uninstalling everything, all of Visual Studio, the .Net framework 2.0, and SQL 2005 because nothing was working anymore. After reinstalling .Net Framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL 2005, I don't see the Business Intelligen ...Show All

• Visual C++ Text field question

  Hi Folks; I have a text field that gets its contents from a SetDlgItemText call.

• SQL Server Grand Total Problem in Excel

  I found a problem when I use Excel 2003 with MSAS 2005. The problem occurs when I use the Hide Levels feature on a row dimension and select the grand total for columns option. I noticed that when I apply filters to the selection, the Grand Total does not reflect the filtered members. If I Show Details then the Grand Total is properly displayed. However, this problem does not happen on every diminsion. I was able to duplicate the problem using Adventure Works DW. In Excel, put the Product Categories in the Row, Source Currency Code in the Column, Sales Amount as the Data, and Filter on Weight (2.12) and Date.Calendar Year (CY 2004). Ensure that Grand Total for Columns is checked. Show Details down to the Product level; notice that the Grand ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 - File Not Found ieframe.dll\1

  Hello, After upgrading to IE7, all of my programs with the "Microsoft Internet Controls" (i.e. Webbrowser) are breaking when I load them in code (compiled still works though). I get the following error: "File Not found 'C:\Windows\system32\ieframe.dll\1' However, if i look in my references, all I can find that is there is the reference to shdocvw.dll, no ieframe dll. If I open a new project and add the controls, then I get the same error. To me there is something broken between the two. The strange thing is, it worked fine yesterday. I don't have my computer set to do automatic updates and I didn't do any updates last night. Anyone else having this issue Regards, Ryan So ...Show All
