• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Listener won't accept new channel after first one is finished

  Hey, I posted regarding my custom transport, and the including of security the other day. I solved that problem but it seems like the adding of security caused some more trouble. This is on the server side, where a ServiceHost is used. Without security this was what usually happened (using reliable messaging though): In the Listener, OnBeginAcceptChannel() is called, and an async setup of communication is done. When ready OnEndAccept() is called, and a ReplyChannel is returned. On this channel ReceiveRequest() is called and a RequestContext is returned. Using the RequestContext.Reply() a reply is sent. Back to (1), where a new channel is created for the next message... Now, with security, BeginReceiveRequest ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Tests during build fails Http 404 from website

  I am upgrading a 2003 solution to 2005 and am using Web Application add-in but, I am afraid that the set up of a team build that includes web tests is not clear to me. In addition to that deploying the app to multiple servers seems as easy as a 500 page soduku puzzle. Anyway, the build I have set up fails when trying to run the web tests. When I recorded the web test, it was done using on the built in IIS at localhost:2435. I went ahead and created a web site on the build server to run on port 2435, but when the test task runs the web test receives a 404 error because the web application was not deployed. Shouldn't the script deploy the site prior to ru ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple TFS Projects

  I am planning out our TFS strategy. I have read MS recommendations that say not to create a lot of Team Projects, but this concept mankes many of the reports useless: If I have 10 web services in a single TFS Project, and each has its own solution file. If I build one of them, the build report contains all the check-ins since the last build, even though many of them had nothing to do with the single web service I am building. My work item reports give me all work items for all the web services, not just the one I am working on. ... Wy the "minimize Team Projects" recommendation Subprojects are a common request. I don't think we'll support subprojects exactly, but we do have drasti ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista display interlaced video

  hi, I have a HDTV capture card that always combines two fields into a frame, i.e., it will generate a 30fps video at 1920x1080 for a 1080/60i input. The interlacing effect is very noticeable in the video render. Is there any existing de-interlacing filter for DirectShow The only one I found online (from alparysoft.com) does not work with HD (it seems). Note that I need a real-time solution. Ideally, I would like to display the video at 60Hz (instead of dropping half of the resolution). Given the 30fps input from the capture filter, is there anyway to "double" the frame rate in a filter graph Finally, a simple question about graphedt, is there anyway to show the actual video format being used in a filter graph through the UI I alw ...Show All

• SQL Server How to find out the PK from a table?

  Dear all experts, I need to find out some property of a tableAs following sql statement: select mtable.name,mcolumn.name,mtype.name,mcolumn.is_identity from sys.tables mtable, sys.all_columns mcolumn, sys.types mtype where mcolumn.object_id = mtable.object_id and mcolumn.system_type_id = mtype.system_type_id and mtable.name in ('TestTable') order by mtable.name,mcolumn.column_id But there is no PK information. Follwing sql statement shows the PK name of a table, but no composite info(which fields): select mtable.name,mkey.name from sys.key_constraints mkey, sys.tables mtable where mkey.parent_object_id = mtable.object_id and mkey.type = 'PK' and mkey.name like 'TestTable' How can I find which fields are PK in a table thanks... -Wi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Movement through forms

  I am interested in creating a program that tracks an object across a form realistically as if it were on the physical earth. The program would take certain parameters (weight, initial speed etc.) and would track an object across the form. However, would it be better to use direct x for this program Secondly, is there any way of "laying" coordinates across a form that are more detailed and fine than the default coordinates a form takes. Any help is appreciated, though can any source code be in c# if possible.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Human Workflow Activity

  I am in process of developing my own human workflow activity by extending Activity base class. But there is one scenario that I am unable to solve. Let us suppose we have 2 different human steps in a workflow process, say step A and step B. The workflow gets routed to human step B after completion of human step A. Depending on some business rules I should be able to reactivate step a. How can I achieve this The default activity automaton does not allow an activity to be brough back to Execution status when it is already closed. Thanks for all the help in advance. Bala This isn't nice but might work: put A, B and C in a while activity. A and B each carry a boolean flag. The flags are set to false in the beginning. A and B ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio crash at Analysis Services Project

  I have implemented SQL Server 2005 Developer Version at Windows XP Home. I'm working on localhost. I want to do an assoziation analysis and creating data source and data source view is successful. But when the data mining wizard comes to the point where to choose the data mining algorithm, the visual studio crashes- the application is not responding. No error code is given, so I don't know where to start. Analysis Server is running and the connection to the data source is made. Hope someone can give me a hint. You mention that you see the same problem browsing a cube or retrieving a list of algorithms from the server - this is likely an issue with client components.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Getting Started with WPF.

  Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on the RTM release of WPF and some pointers to relevant tutorials/intros/guides.  In addition, I have some questions that I'm hoping someone could shed some light onto for me and others in a similar situation. To begin with: 1. What is required to start designing and building WPF UIs aside from the .Net Framework 3.0   Are there finalized toolsets/VS extensions 2. Are there VS2005 project templates available for WPF 3. Is there a good concise resource that provides a high level view of how WPF works   Surprisingly, most of the WPF resources I've found via Google are mostly 1-2 years old; I'm not sure what's still relevant in those documents. 4. Various oddities I've been mu ...Show All

• SQL Server Can you setup backup/restore functionality in SQL Express 2005 from a C# app?

  Hi, I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask. Thanks, KingyNL Sorry, I've miss some in u'r code... :-( The first, ...Show All

• SQL Server Deep copy of child rows + referential integrity?

  I have a database of basically this structure: tblG --- -GKey (PK) tblA --- -AKey (PK) -GKey (FK -> tblG) -data tblB --- -BKey (PK) -GKey (FK -> tblG) -data tblAB --- -AKey (FK -> tblA) -BKey (FK -> tblB) -data I'm trying to write a procedure that will take a tblG.GKey and clone all of its children rows in tblA and tblB (with new PKs), and then clone all of their children rows in tblAB (using the new PKs for tblA and tblB). Does anybody have any suggestions on how this might be done sanely Thanks I'm in SQL Server 2005. The primary keys (marked PK) are identity columns and are generated automatically. Using "select IDENT_CURRENT('tblA')" works as I would expect it to. I feel like I n ...Show All

• SQL Server temp table naming

  I have a procedure that creates temp tables. I made the temp tables local - using # instead of ## - but I still get a 'table exists' error, when I run it from 2 qa sessions at the same time. I am deleting tables at the begining of the proc and again at the end - using IF EXISTS(SELECT name FROM tempdb.dbo.sysobjects where name = '#Archive_In')DROP TABLE #Archive_In Is this expected behaviour   I thought using # would make it local to the connection If this is expected, how do I make it work   I thought SQL used the spid or something, appended to the end of the table, and maintained that reference My guess is that the query just brings back no rows, so the Drop command will not be executed, try the following o ...Show All
