  Hi I'm very new to any kind of programming, so please bare with me. I'm trying to connect a PPC to a unit on a LAN using socket, and receive a Socket Exeption: No such host known.

• SQL Server Workgroup -> domain impersonation

  In the following scenario, I am getting the message 'Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection'. I am running a Windows Server 2003 with development environment and Sql Server Management Studio in a workgroup on a virtual PC. My SQL Server 2000 is running on a domain server. On the virtual Pc I have setup my user login and password to be the same as my domain login and password. Why is the Management Studio not using impersonation and allowing me to connect to the SQL server on the domain There are a couple of reasons this why this typically happens: Because SQL Server is configured to run in Windows Security mode only, and the security mode n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista uninstall

  Is it possible to uninstall Vista Ultimate/Vista Transformation Pack once you have installed it. I want to try it, but I am not sure if it can be uninstalled if it takes up to much ram or doesn't look that great.

• Community Chat Symantec McAfee pooh pooh about accessing Vista kernel

  I have read with great interest the recent gaafs by Symantec and McAfee who are grumbling because they can no longer access the Windows kernel. They rant anti-competitiveness and such however, as a reseller, they have done a piss poor job of protecting the Windows systems. I know, I fix heavily infected systems everyday that have up-to-date desktop versions of their suites. Their desktop security suites are inferior and just plain don't work. As far as I am concerned Microsoft shouldn't let ANYONE access the kernel henceforth starting with the new Vista OS. Pound sand Symantec and McAfee. You've screwed consumers long enough with your inferior products and its time Microsoft put their foot down. mcaffee and symantec are overpriced, an ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to run application after setup is completed ?

  Hello all How an application will be launched after setup is completed and user click close button is there any way to do this saurabh There is no way to tie a program execution to a button click in a Visual Studio setup project. You can cause the app to run with an install custom action, code that uses the shell or some other asynchronous way of launching the app then exiting so the install can continue. The app will typically be at [TARGETDIR]myapp.exe. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Count and display in cell

  Ok I have an Excel workbook that contains a schedule (51 worksheets total). Each cell has intials in it and if that person has taken a day off the cell is highlighted a certain color (yellow, rose, or red). What I need to do is have something that goes through and counts what intials have what color and then display in a cell the number. So: If cell contains "initials" and cell color is "color" Then count and display in "cell" Example: If cell contains "JJ" and cell color is "Yellow" Then count and display in "A2" I know it is possible to do this but I'm not sure how.

• .NET Development Where do I get development tools for x64

  I want to port a Win32 application to XP-64 in 64-bit mode. Where do I get tools The blurb on Visual Studio 2005 is a little vague. It  says Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition has 64-bit compiler support, but it doesn't specify whether its Itanium 64 or x64. MSDN lists a 64-bit compiler in the DDK section but doesn't provide much information on run time libraries etc. I assume the 64-bit compiler listed in the MSDN DDK section is bare bones and primarily for driver development. Assuming the response is use Visual Studio 2005 Professional, does it support a visual debugger for X64 Opposite question, if I run Visual Studio 2005 Professional under XP-64 can I compile test and debug 32-bit applications in that environment. Yes, your ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListView size limit?

  I'm using a list view to display several properties of a typed list of items, where the typed list normally contains several thousand items. When the size of the typed list is beyond 3 or 4 thousand, I get the following error message: "Collection has reached its maximum capacity." The items that I am trying to list are culled from a larger list of as many as 50,000-60,000. The original data in this scenario is coming from an xml file in the application's startup directory(for when the application's regular database is not available), but I am also using the same process for when the database is live. Code Sample: foreach ( TestInstance a in TestInstances){ lvTestInstances . Items . Add(a . TIID . ToString()); ...Show All
