• Windows Live Developer Forums Converting (N 48° 31' 28.79") to number values for VELatLong

  Latitude: N 48° 31' 28.79" Longitude: W 123° 9' 26.96" If I have latitude and longitude such as the above coordinates, what do I pass into the VELatLong constructor for this Go here for a conversion utility. http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html The math is pretty straightforward. Divide the number of seconds by 60, 28.79 ÷ 60 = 0.5166. Add the result to the number of minutes, 31 + .47983. Divide the result by 60, 31.47983 ÷ 60 = 0.52466383. Now add that to the number degrees, 48 + .52466383. The result is 48.52466383° Do the same with the longitude, and then you can pass them into the constructor. Paul ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Undoing exclusive checkouts

  All: My question/problem is this: A TFS user has a number of files checked out for exclusive checkout. The user has subsequently left the company. His domain user account has been deleted. We've tried a number of command line commands to unlock the files, undo the operation, delete the workspace etc. However these approaches all seem to require workspace/owner information, & are unable to find/process the workspace the files were checked out to. How can I undo/delete the checkout operation if the workspace or domain user account no longer exists Thanks in advance, Dave Riches Adam/Richard TFS was put in place before I started working at this customer. I'm told we were originally running Beta 3, which ...Show All

• SQL Server Confusion about dialog security steps.

  Hi There I have done the following. 2 Servers across the net work Server A and Server B. I have created private keys at each and copied to public keys across. I create an endpoint at each with validation by the certificates. I then create appropriate users and logins at each and import the public certificates with authorization to the users who have send permission on the endpoints. That is transport security sorted and it works. Now from what i have learnt from examples, to setup dialog security i do the following. create a private key in each DB : create certificate Store001DialogPri with subject = 'Store001DialogPri' , start_date = '07/20/2006' active for begin_dialog = on ; go I ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2003: Has anyone found a solution to "File in use..." error when building?

  From time to time when you have multiple dependent projects in a solution, one or two projects will not build complaining that the dll destination is in used by another application.  This requires a VS restart before it goes away.  I chatted with our support folks and your best bet would be to call them directly. Unfortunately debugging this is likely going to take some back and forth and that'll be easier to do on the phone as opposed to through the forums. You can contact support by following the appropriate links on http://support.microsoft.com . Feel free to write me directly at ansonh@microsoft.com if you're having trouble getting through to the right people. Anson ...Show All

• Visual Basic Taskbar flashes when application starts

  Hi group, I wrote a VB.NET window application in VS 2005. It is running on WinXP SP2. When I start it running, the splash screen shows and then the applications main form shows. This is all correct. Then my application in the taskbar starts to flash orange. It flashes on, off, then on again. The applications main form then looses focus. I am having a problem finding why this is happening. Any suggestions Added comment - It seems that when I don't use the splash screen startup, this issue does not present itself. Dave     I will partially answer my own question. I disabled events while the application was initializing and during form_load. I enabled ...Show All
