• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UserName authentication

  Hi, I'm trying the sample about 'username authentication'. I have not changed the sources of sample. I receive this error : "An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail." InnerException : "At least one security token in the message could not be validated."

• Visual Basic UPDATE command gives Consurrency error

  Hi readers, I have a table called winders_table, and have succesfully changed a row in the table. I used the following UPDATE command, but get an CONCURRENCY exception. I think the reason is that is was unsuccesfull to update the changed row. The UPDATE command is: UPDATE [Winders_Table] SET Name='@name' WHERE (Name='@Original _name) In the parameters collection I have parameters: @name (Source version is current) @Original_name (SourceVersion is Original) I am not sure about this command, which I copied from a sample. If I use SET Name = , with as a namespace and not a parameter, then it changes all the rows to the changed value. All I want to do is to update the changed row to the ...Show All

• SQL Server Grouping Dimension Values

  I have a question about grouping values in a dimension. I have a dimension that relates to the age of a person. When I run my ETL we bring in the age as it was at the time of the load. When I display that age to my users in a report, I would like to group the ages according to internal usages. Example: Age 16, 17, 18 would be grouped into a group of 16 to 18, etc.... This provides to us a larger statistic sample set, plus it makes the reports much easier to read. I am using Reporting Services to generate reports, but I was looking to move the grouping logic away from the client to the Analysis Services server. I actually have several dimensions like this where I would like to perform grouping. I was considering using a Ca ...Show All

• SQL Server Lift charts with OLAP data source

  I've generated some mining models against an OLAP data source (dimension). However, when I go to generate a lift chart, it seems that the only data source that can be used for input is the data source view (the relational database). Is that right Or is there something I'm missing here. I was figuring I'd use one slice to train the model, then another slice to test the accuracy of the results. But right now it's looking like I can't do that. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Zooming in while panning back

  I'm trying to make a screensaver where images zoom in a bit while floating/panning in random directions. The problem I'm experiencing is that scaling an image is done by growing it in positive directions from original position, so if I need to pan in a negative direction (-x or -y), it doesn't work since the image scales in a positive direction. For example: document[slidePhotos[nextSlideIndex]].style.animateProperty("x","0px;-100px",5); document[slidePhotos[nextSlideIndex]].style.animateProperty("width","1920px;2020px",5); document[slidePhotos[nextSlideIndex]].style.animateProperty("height","1080px;1180px",5); document[slidePhotos[nextSlideIndex]].style.animateProperty("opac ...Show All

• .NET Development arrays to sql server table

  Using vb8, I would like to be able to programmatically save data in arrays to an existing sql server 2005 table. I've found tons of info on how to load db data into arrays but not the reverse. Can anybody offer some clues That's the point. The DataTable doesn't cause changes to occur in the database table. As I noted above, I am trying find out what needs to be used (DataAdapter, DataSet and/or DataTable ) and when. Obviously, what I'm doing is not working which is why I've asked for help.   Thanks for the info about using AcceptChanges after the for/next loop.

• Software Development for Windows Vista E_Mail Request

  I have a process running in OUTLOOK in VBS that activates when someone sends an e-mail to a specific receipient; this event launches and calls an application that sends the results of a SQL query to the person that requested the information. In theory this works great, but in practice, this application requires an OUTLOOK session active at all times, and sometimes this OUTLOOK session does't work and/or gives me an error (usually over the weekend or month end, when people really need the information). In other words in a production environment this process is unreliable. Is there a way I can use a Workflow to wait for users email as an input to launch an application Thanks Luis F.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom WPF text editor

  I'm not looking for a solution to my problem. I am just interested in any expert's opinion on a matter of a custom text editor using WPF. I developed a basic Winforms text editor to replace the RichTextBox. The detailed reason why I did this is beyond the scope of this message, but to sum it up I needed a custom control that could support being rendered at non-standard resolutions (without blur) such as 371x529. This was easy to do using transforms. I have not yet developed much with WPF, but I have been studying it for several days now, and it looks very powerful. It appears I may be able to develop a better custom text editor using the following classes: TextFormatter TextSource I've downloaded the SDK and looked through all ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Interactively creating/adding to pushpin collections

  My Goal I would like to create pushpin collections for sharing the answers to some problems in celestial navigation with my readers. I would like them to be able to create pushpin collections to show their answers to the problems so they can say "is this right what did I do wrong " Pushpin collections seem to be the simplest and most straightforward way for communicating.
