• Visual Studio Team System Test Run deployment issue: directory is not trusted.

  Hi all, I have an application which uses a DLL from our network drive M:\VS2005. Build works fine, but when I call the Testproject it always aborts with this error message: Failed to Queue Test Run ... with id ...: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestManagement.ExecutionException: Test Run deployment issue: The location of the file or directory 'M:\VS2005\MyDLL.dll' is not trusted. Here i've read about caspol.exe and I tried it with every combination like M:\VS2005\* or //server/share/vs2005/* or else, all without success :-( I even set off security with caspol -security off and it still does not work :-( Copying the dll to local file and using it from there works of course. "CopyLocal" is also set to true to after building the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Upcoming Starter Kits

  From yesterday's webcast (where was everyone ), it was mentioned that a puzzle starter kit would be included in the RTM version and that the XNA Racer starter kit would come with the Creator's Club membership. I didn't get a chance to confirm this. Is this the case Also, are there any plans for other starter kits down the road Jim Perry wrote: I'll be getting a Creator's Club membership so I'm not concerned. Good point :-P ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting proper rights and integrity for ProgramData

  Hi All, I have an ActiveX control that is loaded by IE7 Protected Mode (eg Low integrity) which needs to be able to write to my folders in "Program Files" and "ProgramData."  When my installer creates the folders, it sets the proper rights/integrity (low).  I have this working for "Program Files." However, I have not been able to create my folder in "ProgramData" with the proper integrity to allow the Low integrity process to write to it.  Setting the SACL (S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)) does not work, although it does have some effect, because when I set it to S:(ML;;NW;;;HI), even a medium process can't write to "ProgramData". I find it quite weird that I can now write to "Program Files," but not "ProgramData."  Any ide ...Show All

• SQL Server Transaction log not shrinking since Mirrioring Started

  Hello all, I am currently having a rather pestering issue with my full/transaction log backups. It seems that after running either, my logs do not truncate and the file continues to stay @ the current size and eventually fill to the brim. This issue only began after mirroring was setup. Is there any differences in log file maintainence when dealing with Mirrored databases I made my last attempt to run backups and waited over the weekend for some hope that a checkpoint would occur and my file would be shrunk once again for normal use. Any insight on this is greatly apprecieated. Thank you for the assist on this. The log file has shrunk down and propgated the same to the mirror using your sugg ...Show All

• Visual Basic Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation

  Hi, I am getting an error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" when my application is loading a vb.net 2005 form.

• .NET Development Output File From DataSet.WriteXml() is Missing Elements

  I am using DataSet.WriteXml to save a DataSet to an XML file. The DataSet is filled from an OleDbDataAdapter, which itself gets its data from an Access table. The Access table contains a single row of data and has columns that may be empty. When I open the saved file there are elements that are missing from the file. The missing elements happen to correspond to columns in the table that are empty. Is there some way to force the inclusion of elements into the file even though the table column is empty My code is shown below with the exception of how I construct dbConnection. OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(dbConnection); string queryString = "SELECT * FROM Reports"; OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new Ole ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums local.live.com Interface

  Does anyone know of any resources to build an interface within VE similar to the local.live.com interface The site has a full screen VE control with menu panels that collapse / expand, icons linked to menu panes, links to routes etc. I really like the it and can see the logical step with custom VE applications is to move to this style of interface. Is the interface code for local.live.com available John. Glad you like it. :) Local.live.com is, of course, Microsoft's customer-facing application that uses the VE control. As such, the code isn't publically available. Many of the nifty UI stuff has been duplicated (perhaps enhanced ) in several other mashups. Not to single out any one mashup too much, the http://atlas.freshlogicstudi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Invisible Sprite parts

  Can I make it so that a certain color of a sprite, like red or blue, is invisible where the rest o the sprite can be seen, whithout just making it the background color Richard Kain wrote: Actually, you don't even have to do that. (although I know you can) If you have the DirectX SDK installed, you can use their DirectX texture tool to compile a sprite with a transparent background. You just use your color image for the sprite, and then use another black and white image to tell it which pixels should be visible, and which shouldn't. Then it saves a DirectX texture file. These import really well into XNA. (the file format was developed by Microsoft, after all) If you don't feel like going to all t ...Show All

• SQL Server Clusters and Log Shipping

  Does anyone know of any issues with using Active/Passive or Active/Active clusters and log shipping. Will log shipping still work if a failover occurs Thanks Yes, log shipping still works after a cluster failover. A failover in a cluster is basically the same as restarting your SQL Service. Assuming you have log shipping configured correctly (i.e. using the virtual instance name, which would be the case if you configured log shipping using the built-in wizards/plans), log shipping will pick up where it left off before the failover occured (i.e. the next time the t-log is backed up, it will be shipped to your shared log location for application to the standby server).
