• Windows Live Developer Forums PushPin click in 3D map (v4)

  Hi, Can anyone share some best-practice code on how to detect a click on a PushPin in 3D mode I have code handling the OnClick of a the DIV that is the PushPin in 2D mode ( http3A//www.viavirtualearth.com/wiki/ClickablePin.ashx ) - but this doesn't work in 3D mode as the PushPin is part of the 3D scene. Is there a best-practice way of doing this Many thanks dan The Set scale unit works, but there's a bug that it doesn't persist across mode switches. Until it's fixed, you can work around it by setting it again every time you switch modes. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Import scripts not working?

  I'm trying to update my db project with changes that have been made in the db, I can do the schema compare using the db as the source and the db project as the target, I can get the change script either in the editor or exported to a file. I then try and import the script into the db project, it goes through the steps, says it's altering my sp, and tells me that the db update was successfull, but if I look at the sp schema in the db project nothing has changed, and it I run the schema compare again it produces the same change script, so the db project it not being updated. I realise that in a perfect world, we would do all the changes in the db project and then generate change scripts to run on the actual db's, however there is alway ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to assign one workitem to two people?????

  Hi, from the very begginning i have tried to assign a single workitem to two users or more, How do we achieve this Just to confirm that this is not available in V1 of the product, but it is a request I know the team have heard many times and take seriously. In my teams, we assign the work to the person who is responsible for moving the task to the next step - however this does not help when you are trying to work out if people have too much or too little work assigned to them. This is where better project integration would be useful, which again is feedback the team have been given before and take seriously. ...Show All

• .NET Development SQL Server Procedure call timeout from .Net

  Hello, I've written a SQL Server procedure that has to modify several thousand records. When I test it from SQL Server it runs fine..taking about 4 minutes to finish. However, when I call it from my .Net application using a SqlCommand object the procedure call won't complete! I've set the timeouts to infinity and sat there waiting for 30 minutes but the call won't complete! One thing I've just discovered is that the problem only occurs when I use a transaction in the stored procedure. Is there something I need to do to make sure my .Net application can call a transaction based procedure in SQL Server Any help gratefully received, Al Since you say that the problem only happens when you use a transactio ...Show All

• Visual C# One project to rule them all

  I have a solution with 2 projects (each project builds a DLL). I want to create a 3rd project that takes all the settings and code from the first 2 projects and create one mongo DLL. What's the simplest way to achieve this Thanks! -- Smeagol Shared project What is that What I don't understand/know is how I can have a single solution, which houses 3 projects Foo.dll, Goo.dll, and Mongo.dll (made from Foo & Goo projects). I don't want to have a separate project that I must maintain the settings for. For example, if I add a new pre-processor definition to the Foo project, I would like Mongo to auto-magically receive that setting change. Does that make sense Is this possible w ...Show All

• .NET Development Conditional floating-point precision using aliases

  I have a project where I need to be able to switch between using System.Single and System.Double according to whether I need to optimize for performance or for precision. So far I've solved the problem by putting the following test on top of each source file where I need the switch: #if d_real using real = System.Double; #else using real = System.Single; #endif So I use the real alias wherever I want the flexibility of compiling my libraries either for double or single, and can switch the precision by choosing a configuration where the conditional compilation symbol d_real is defined or not. The real type is only used for those parts where it is beneficial to be able to switch and it used consistently so as to not get any invalid casts. In ...Show All

• Visual Studio Failed to open the connection

  I am trying to deploy an cr xi r2 report via asp.net. In development it works fine, but when I deploy to the server I get that odd response.

• Visual FoxPro what do you do if a dll is corrupt?

  What do you do if an application fails and an error message is that an "entry point for a procedure is not found." You then go find the appropriate DLL file and try to register it and the registration fails and the message is that it does not appear to be a valid DLL file at all. I am talking about DNSAPI.DLL in this case but it appears to be a frequent problem and I want to know what one can do about it. What is the protocol That dll appears to be in 3 different incarnations in my computer, on two different partitions, the latest version is from May 2005. They all failed. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks. Alexx, >"entry point for a procedure is not found." Usually means you've spec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Format date "vbExpress"

  hi how can i format date displaying only current "month" and nothing else thanks :) just to add for general info - you should not need to do a CSTR (Convert string) since there already is a ToString() method in the DateTime object. CSTR is used to convert one object to another into a string format (or something like this) - since there is a ToString() method in the properties/class of DateTime, it is better to call that since it may have its own implementation of displaying the string rather than say, calling a base string descriptor. As well as this, there is a minor perf issue since it has to convert one form of object to another - even though it is not noticable to us especially in this situation - just addin ...Show All
