• Software Development for Windows Vista uiAccess

  My application is used to provide accessibility in other applications. I need to be able to drive input in other applications using Journal Playback Hooks. From the documentation it seems as if what I want is to include the uiAccess=true flag in the application manifest. However, when I use that flag, the operating system automatically puts a security flag on the application icon and requires administrative privileges to run the application. This is true even if I use requestedPrivileges=asInvoker in the manifest. Can someone please shed some light on this problem - What does uiAccess=true actually allow - How can I use uiAccess=true without requiring administrative privileges ...Show All

• SQL Server API for creating user or group

  What's the SOAP API call to create a user or group It seems that when someone successfully logs into Report Server, a new user is created for that user. However, is it possible to create a list of users on demand If you are using Forms auth then somebody has written a custom security extension that manages users and groups for you. (Perhaps you are using the sample ) In that case you can see if the security extension provides an API for adding users. If you are using the sample security extension, it does not provide a mechanism (outside of the logon page), you would have to add directly to the table it uses. You are correct that RS has a table of users and policies, but it does not technically contro ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed -> Unmanaged Interop

  Hello to the XNA team! Looks like some pretty awesome work you've got done here guys! Me and my colleague are professional game developers considering writing "Yet Another 3D Game Engine(tm)" for XNA. So I have two questions for the team: 1.) Is there any chance of getting a preview of XNA before december so we can start developing immediately 2.) It would be nice if we could do a bit of interop between XNA, managed C++ and unmanaged C++. What are the chances of us being able to achieve this Thanks in advance! AndyL wrote: 2 - As far as I understand, interop will be possible only on the PC version, and both platforms are C# only. Just to clarify - for now it's C# only. Other lang ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System testrunconfig doesnt work when running unit tests from IDE

  Hi, I'm having an issue with the testrunconfig file auto-generated by Visual Studio for my unit tests. I have modified the file to add some deployment folders (to copy unmanaged assemblies to the test location) but it seems to be ignored when I run my tests. I have selected it as the default testrun config from Test->Select Active Test Run Configuration yet it doesn't seem to be copying any of the required assemblies. However, when I run mstest.exe from the command line, and explicitly specify the localtestrun.testrunconfig to use, all the files are deployed correctly. Please help, Al Hi Al, Try removing and re-adding the test run configuration from your solution. Then specify "Sele ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to check for access to ftp server and specify timeout

  Hello, I am writing a program which downloads software from ftp and then installs it. I am using the InternetConnect function, but the problem is that if the server is offline it returns after about 30 seconds which is too much for me. I want to know if there is a way to check for access to the ftp and specify the timeout myself. I mean that I want to know not only if I have access to the machine, but also if the ftp is running and I can log in. I checks the functions in the WinINet library but it seems none of the functions there enables me to do so. If I can do this without linking any external libraries such as CURL it would be great.

• SQL Server Special/Foreign Language Characters Issue

  Hi,   We have a package that does a simple table to table data loading. Both source and destination have the same Codepage (850) and collation (SQL_Latin1_General_CP850_CI_AI). However, there are some foreign language characters in the source table, and it gets messed up when it's loaded into the target.   Here's an example for a column with this type of text:   Source: Solut§es Informst Target: Solu■oes Inform t   Both columns are char(30).   I have tried to load this row into another server in a different location and it works just fine, however the original target of data displays the text incorrectly.   I have no idea what can be causing this.   Thanks, ...Show All
