• Internet Explorer Development Outlook Express and LAN

  I;m new, so this is probobly in the wrong topic, and I;m sorry, but I saw other Outlook Express topics here, so I thought I'd try. I just got DSL high speed, and they gave me an outlook express email address. Now, when I try to send/recieve, a window pops up asking for what connection to use. How do I get it to use my WAN internet instead of dial-up or direct connections. Thankyou. best place to ask is the appropriate forum over at the communities for outlook: www.microsoft.com/communities Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Access the MRU list using SDK

  Just wondering if it's possible to modify the MRU list using the SDK. I know you can modify the registry to remove/add entries.... but to get MRU list in VS to recognize the changes, a restart seems to be required. Is there a simple way to refresh the MRU list in VS using just code (w/out restarting) Many thanks. Hi Bobby, There is no programatic access to the MRU list. The items you see displayed in the MRU list are read from the registry when devenv is first launched, and then modified as files/projects are opened/created/closed. There are no interfaces that provide access to the static list of strings the IDE maintains. I did a quick search and the initialization code (where we first initialize these structures) are internal f ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Game Programming is very Hard

  I've been reading DirectX sdk tutorials and MDX tutorials and things like that, and it seems VERY VERY VERY hard. Will this new XNA studio and the documentation simplify this All these vectors and whatnot is very complicated and I'm having trouble understanding seemingly basic concepts in game programming in 3d. Definetly. From my little experience with game programming, it undoubtedly is MUCH harder than any old software development. Vectors and 3d coordinates have to be programmed with precision to get anything to work.... Btw, I found a few MSDN tutorials and they're much more simple and informative than the MDX ones I found... A couple last questions: 1) Am I missing out on a lot by using Managed DirectX 2) What about OpenGL Reg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Mysterious Add-in load issue.

  Its not exactly VTSO, I know but I'm desperate. I'm new to developing managed (C#) Add-ins for Excel and new to Visual Studio 2005 and very new to developing Add-ins in VS-2005. That said I've been trying to put together a little test case COM Add-in. I've followed the basic recipe as as detailed in ".Net Development for Microsoft Office" using Visual Studio and have gotten a simple COM add-in to work in Excel 2003 on my computer without a hitch. When I try to send said add-in to others it doesn't load up for them (though it should). Furthermore when they check their Excel instance's COM Add-in dialog, they see that Excel attempted to load the addin but failed (Location "mscoree.dll ...Show All

• SQL Server Need to copy All oracle tables to SQL Server 2005

  I am racking my brain on this one. I am migrating Oracle data to SQL Server and would like an SSIS package that will copy the oracle data from every table to SQL server. I already have the schema set up in SQL and a straight copy of a specified table works fine between the OLEDB source and OLEDB destination. However, when I set up a loop which sets a global variable for the table names, which are identical on both dbs, and try to set the OLEDB Source and Destination OpenRowsetVariable to the global variable, the process fails with these errors with all validation turned off: [OLE DB Source [18]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe 2005 upload file size problem

  I'm having problems with checking in new files to sourceSafe over a certain size. Steps to reproduce the error: 1.. Created a new project and added to SS over http to my server. 2. Created a word document with a series of images until it reach 1 MB in file size. 3. Added that file to the project and checked into SS, that uploads fine. 4. Changed the word document and increased the file size to 2 MB, added that file to SS, as a new file and it fails to upload. I can see the file in the Upload folder on the server with a GUID, I renamed the file so that it will open in word and it's OK.........It just won't load into SS............without getting the "There was a failure uploading the URL...." I've changed the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best way to extract vertex/index data from Model loaded via Content pipeline

  I have a mesh loaded via the content pipeline, and want to extract all the vertex/index data from it to build a physics mesh for collision. However if i try to GetData on the VB (not tried with the IB yet), I get an exception of: "You cannot call GetData on a resource that was created with ResourceUsage.WriteOnly." So is there a way to either clone the data into a non-Write-only VB so i can extract it Or some way of loading the Model in a non-writeonly way N Apologies - I had searched for it quickly, but clearly not enough.
