• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security question

  Hi, I'm probably being dense, or haven't read enough documentation, but I'm a little confused about a simple security question. I'm hosting a service, in a console app for now, exposing a single operation taking a path as a parameter and returning a stream. But when the service attempts to access the requested file, what credentials will be used to access the file Will it be the user name under which the console app is running, or will it be the user under which the client is running Does it vary depending on what security mode is in use Thanks for any help. -Chris When a user access a service there are 2 credentials in question. One is that of the service, the process of the service has a set ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting "Permission denied" error in ExecuteSQL task

  The purpose of the Package is to load an SQL table with data from text files in a subdirectory. The parameter is parsed from the text filenames. It is a zipcode. I have an ExecuteSQL task inside a ForEach container. The SQL in the task is: IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM dbo.ZipCodeRadius WHERE CenterPostalCode = 1) BEGIN DELETE FROM dbo.ZipCodeRadius WHERE CenterPostalCode = 1 END I also have a Data Flow task in this container which populates the ZipCodeRadius table. The same parameter is also passed to the Data Flow task which specifies a zipcode to delete and afterward load. I am using Windows authetication for the package. What am I doing wrong Fred The error is: [Execute SQL Task] Error: ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. About MDX and XNA.

  I heard that MDX2.0 was killed by XNA. That's the full story I thought MDX2.0 is part of XNA. I am a getting concerned because I like MDX and I don't want to see the end of it this early. Also I heard XNA does not support all the features that a MDX can do. Please, fill me in. MDX 2.0 was the base for what is now knows as the XNA framework. You are right that there are still things that were supported with MDX that did not make it in XNA Framework Version 1.0. But as XNA will be improved in the future there is a high possibility that some features will have a come back. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Default argument and Virtual Function..........

  why while run time polymorphism the default value of the base is taken not of derived.. class base { public: virtual function(int i, int j = 78) { cout<<i<<" "<<j; } }; class derived:public base { public: function(int i, int j = 55) { cout<<i<<" "<<j; } }; int main() { derived d; base *b = &d; b->function(12); } AND THE OUTPUT IS 12 78 and i think it shuld print 12 55 Because you did not declare the function as virtual in the derived class. Therefore the derived class is not overriding the base class's implementation of it. So when you call it with a "base" level reference you get the ba ...Show All

• Visual C++ SQLCHAR problems

  Hi, i'm a starting to develop some apps with odbc and visual c++ but i'm having some problems. I'm trying to make a simple Select query against my database, the conection is working fine and when i set the query hardcoded everything worked ok, but then I tried to add a little flexibility by making the where clause variable, founding the next code in msdn #define DESC_LEN 51 #define STATEMENT_LEN 51 SQLUINTEGER PartID; SQLCHAR Desc[DESC_LEN], Statement[STATEMENT_LEN]; SQLREAL Price; // Set part ID, description, and price. GetNewValues(&PartID, Desc, &Price); // Build INSERT statement. sprintf(Statement, "INSERT INTO Parts (PartID, Description, Price) " "VALUES (%d, '%s', %f)", PartID, Desc, Pric ...Show All

• Visual Basic Missing ApplicationLog.exe

  I am learning Visual Basic 2005 and I am going through the WalkThroughs in the MSDN documents. Today I was working on one that was writting to the application log. The program aborted because it could not find the program ApplicationLog.exe. The complete path is c:\Document and Settings\Robert\LocalSettings\ApplicationData \TemporaryProjects\ApplicationLog\bin\Debug \ApplicationLog\bin\Debug\ApplicationLog.exe. When I looked for the path it wasn't there. Well, everything up to and including Robert was there.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office UserProperties are disappearing on Appointment

  I'm having a problem where the UserProperties that I have set from a Outlook Add-In are being reset after the appointment has been changed in Outlook Web Access. I am creating a new appointment using my Outlook Add-in and setting 8 UserProperties against the appointment. If i view the appointment using OutlookSpy it says the UserProperties count is 8 (which is correct). If I go into Outlook Web Access, change something with the appointment and then go back into OutlookSpy and check the UserProperties count it still says 8. But if I go back into Outlook Web Access again and make another change, then go back to OutlookSpy and check the UserProperties count, it is now set to 0. It seems to always reset it after the 2nd change. Any ideas on w ...Show All

• SQL Server exporting an analysis server db from one server to another

  how do i export an analysis services from one server to another i recently upgraded from analysis services 2000, so i didnt create the analysis services database and cubes in server 2005. Remember how you could save your db in analysis server 2000 as a cab file. is there any way to do that in analysis server 2005, so that i could simply then copy teh file over to a new server and add it In BI-Dev studio there is a project/template where you can import and generate scripts for that SSAS2005 cube to a project/script. If you successfully import this you will have scripts that you can deploy to a second server. The other way is the Deployment Wiza ...Show All

• .NET Development AD Authentication across domains

  Hi, I have an ASP.net web application which has Forms authentication enabled. The users are authenticated by connecting to Active Directory using .net directory services. Everything was working fine untill the search domain matched with that of the domain of the server where the code is deployed. If i deploy the same code in a different server which is under a different domain, my authentication fails as by default it checks the domain of the server first rather than using the domain giving in the AD(LDAP) path string. How can I achieve cross domain authentication Web server is a windows 2003 machine and .net framework used is 1.1 Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks, Dinakar Folks ...Show All
