• Internet Explorer Development How to detect tab-change in IE7?

  Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows how to detect when a tab changes in IE My toolbar has to detect when a) A tab changes site (This I already do by Navigate and DocumentComplete) b) When you change between tabs (this I have no idea how to do). I know there is a DWebBrowserEvents2::WindowStateChanged I maybe could use but I have no idea how to use it The only thing I've been able to even think about up until now is to create a thread that runs every second and checks what tab is visible, if it's not the one that was visible last check then fetch the document URL location from that, not that I've even gotten that to work very well... So I was hoping someone might be able to help me out, maybe show me some code on how to achieve knowing when th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can this error message be improved?

  This is the error message you get when the design-time validation database needs to be specified. (It was captured by using Shift+Ctrl+C, which captures the text in the error dialog instead of capturing the error dialog as a graphic image.) --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- Database projects require a connection to a local instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for design-time validation. To perform this operation, you must open the Tools menu, click Options, and specify an instance of SQL Server 2005 that is running and to which you can connect. When that is corrected, you must then refresh or reload the database project. --------------------------- OK ------------------------- ...Show All

• SQL Server Condensed Type vs Data Type

  In the database diagram, it used to be that Data Type was int, varchar, char, etc. and Condensed Type was int, varchar(30), char(5), etc.  Why was this changed in SQL 2005   Is this a bug My assumption is that it's because of the new data type "xml". The help says as follows:- Condensed Data Type Displays information about the field's data type, in the same format as the SQL CREATE TABLE statement. For example, a field containing a variable-length string with a maximum length of 20 characters would be represented as "varchar(20)". To change this property, type the value directly. ym ...Show All

• Smart Device Development place a permanent quick launch button on the tray

  is there a way to cause to a permanent quick launch button of my application in the tray   thanks Oren. Why not to say from the very beginning that you are talking about smartphone The set of items at the top of the home screen is an MRU list provided by MRU plugin. You can edit the home.xml file used by you theme to add a permanent shortcut to your own app. The permanence is relative. It will be there after restart, but launching some applications will eventually push it out.

• Visual Basic IF statement returns different result in vs03 vs vs05

  Hi, All, I am running into a problem that could use some helps. I have two programs running side by side against the same data. The vs05 version is converted from the vs2003 version. The vs03 behaves as it was designed, but vs05 has a different result on the IF statement. When no data from the field, vs03 goes into ELSE part, but vs05 does not evaluate the If Not Is "" the same way, and goes into JobID line. But, WHY I know I probably shouldn't use IF IS, but neither = or == will work here. Basically, this is happening in datagrid double click event, the JobID column (col 4) could be string ("12345"), empty or null. The code tried to test if it is empty or null, if it is not, reset global JobID, else cl ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Exception: Login Failed for "SQLServername/username"

  Hello Everyone, I developed an application using c# that accesses MS SQL server 2000 for records. It works perfectly well on my development machine. However, when I tested it on another machine, I get the Error "Login Failed for SQLServername/username". When I started developing this app, I got this same error on my development machine and I solved the problem by making the 'aspnet' account an administrator in control panel - user accounts in Windows XP. This however doesn't work on the other machines i've tested on, and i get this same error. Here's my connection string: "data source=SERVER\\VSDOTNET;initial catalog=MedicalCenterDB;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;workstation id=SERVER"; Pl ...Show All

• Visual C++ Inefficient code generated for SSE intrinsics

  VC++ 8 does some pretty good optimization in general, but one area in which it seems to struggle mightily is the optimization of SSE intrinsics. I don't know if it's the case for all the intrinsics, but for the ones i am using i am seeing some pretty bad code being generated. for example, i have coded this function which calculates a fast square root approximation:  __declspec(noalias) float rsqrtss_intrinsics( float number ) {     float temp;     __m128 reg1 = _mm_load_ss(&number);     __m128 reg2 = _mm_rsqrt_ss(reg1);     __m128 reg3 = _mm_mul_ss(reg1,reg2);     _mm_store_ss( &temp, reg3 );     return temp; } which i call in this loop: ...Show All
