• SQL Server long running transaction blocking queue

  Hello, I seem to be misunderstanding the way transactions work with service broker queues. We have developed and deployed a service broker application that 5 queues and a windows service for each queue on multiple servers (3 currently). Due to a last minute issue, we had to not use transactions when the services executed a recieve and I am not updating the code base to use transactions and am running into blocking issues. One of the services runs for 90 seconds (spooling to the printer) and all of the servers block on the receive operation for this queue. I thought that if I was receving messages from a single conversation, other receives against this queue would not block. Thanks, Jim Stallings ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies How get WDS 3.01 Outlook 2003 to index Contacts, Calendar etc.

  I am a previous user of Lookout for Outlook 2003 that allowed me to search all of my appointments for keywords in the subject line along with many other functions. With Microsoft's acquisition of Lookout and it's subsequent development of Windows Desktop Search, I decided to try the latest version 3.01 of WDS for searching Outlook Calendar, Contacts, Tasks etc on a new computer I am setting up. Only problem is that I can't get the WDS search to work for Calendar, Contact items. Have it working for email and regular files, but not the more granular stuff. I have tried all of the functions I can find in "Windows Desktop Search Options" to add the Calendar and Contacts data files to the index list but none seem ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Blurry trail on sprite movement

  Hi all, I read some posts about problems with AMD processors. I am not sure my issue is caused by that because I have a different processor from the ones I read the posts about. The issue: I have a simple ball sprite. I create a pong-like game. When the ball moves it produces a blurry trail behind it. Like you have with comets in space. The faster the sprite moves, the longer and more noticable the trail. In response to this I have updated the drivers for my processor and grapics card. The result is the same. Beside the blurry trail I notice the movement is always a littlebit choppy. Not extreme, but I think it ought to be somewhat smoother than this. So no I am wondering what might be causing it. Can it be the process ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with Web folders (WebDav) in IE7

  Hi, I want to access a web folder with my IE, using a link in my portal. It seems like MS changed the way Web Folders work, since it doesn't work with IE7. whereas with IE6 it works perfectly. IE doesn't open the web folder and I get a "My Computer" window opened instead. I managed to bypass this behaviour by openning the Web Folder in an IFRAME, but still when trying to open a directory inside I get the same "My Computer" window. Please advise how to solve this issue. Hi, I have the same problem when I acces a webfolder. With IE6 it works very well but since the update to final IE7 webdav doesn't work.

• SQL Server Return results of stored procedure

  I need to return the results of a stored procedure into a temporary table. Something like this: Select * into #temp from exec (the stored procedure). It appears that I can not do this. The following will not work for me cause I am not sure how many columns will be returned. I want this to work even if the calling stored procedure is changed (i.e add or take away columns) insert into (...) exec (the stored procedure. Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this.

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to associate code coverage data and test results?

  I followed the guide at http://blogs.msdn.com/ms_joc/articles/406608.aspx to perform code coverage on a program. I then wrote a generic test that calls that program. After the run, I have a .trx file and a .coverage file, but the two are not associated with each other. Is it possible to associate an existing test result file and code coverage result file programatically I don't want the test to do the instrumentation at run time, as I have already created an instrumented build. I think I found a partial workaround to this issue. If you instrument all the binaries outside of VS, then tell VS to instrument the test dll, when you run the test, you will get coverage results for all the instrumented ...Show All

• SQL Server Update Query Taking 23 seconds

  I am not sure if I am in the correct location or if I should be in the SQL forum but here is my question: I have an update statement that goes out through SQL 2000 through a local linked server to another SQL 2000 server on my machine. When I run the update in Query Analyzer it takes less than a second. When I run it in my C# code using the SqlCommand object and parameters it takes me ~23 seconds. If I remove one of the parameters it goes down to ~15 milliseconds. Has anyone heard of this happening The parameter that I remove is a simple char(10) column that isn't the primary key and is used in the WHERE statement. There isn't an index on the field. 23 Seconds Update table Set column = @val WHERE field = @field AND other = @other ...Show All

• Windows Forms RichTextBox events firing order

  Hi, I came acroos what looks like a small but vexing problem: I have a richtextbox (rtb) that does some basic syntax highlighting. The highlighting is handled through the 'Textchanged' event and contains some richtextbox.select() commands in order to change the color of the selected keywords. So far so good. Unfortunately, this seems to have an adverse effect on the standard (I didn't code anything) undo (ctrl+z), redo (ctrl+y) commands but not paste (ctrl+c). Without the texychanged code, they work fine (ie if I type abcd and then ctrl+z the abcd disappears, then ctrl+y and it reappears), with the code present ctrl+z does not suppress the typed text but moves the cursor back at the beginning and ctrl+y doesn't appear to do anythi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft.public.platformsdk.security&cat=en-us-msdn-windev-winsdk&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catli ...Show All

• Visual Basic Windows Media Player Control

  I have a VB6.0 application that I want to rewrite in VB2005. In it, I use the media player control; specifically the advance frame method to control the playing of the video (AVI format). It appears that current versions of Media Player do not support this method, and frame-by-frame control over video is not possible from within VB2005. Is this correct Is there a way to have programmatic control over video playback, including frame-by-frame advance/backup and also to be able to draw graphics that persist on top of the video Playing Digital Media in a Visual Basic .NET Application ...Show All

  Hi, I need to call a C# method from a JSP.The C# application is a Windows application. How can it be implemented Thanks It might be complicated. I don't know anything about Java Server Pages, but if they support COM you might be able to access the C# windows application through .NET Interop. You will have to expose a COM interface. Another way might be to use web services. Give your C# appliaction a web-service front-end and have JSP use whatever it uses to contact your web service and operate the application. ...Show All
