• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing include file stgprop.h

  Ntquery.h try to include missing file stgprop.h in the June 2006 CTP. As a workaround i've added storage property set definitions in it manually from the previous version of ntquery.h. HTH, Sergey. I have the same problem, can you post the details of your workaround. I'm using the most recent version of the SDK downloaded last friday. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Mobile 5 and DirectShow StillImage Capture. Any Advice/Tips?

  Hi All, Unfortuantely I'm not a C++ developer but I dable with it when the need arises and a need has certainly arisen. I have a .NETCF2.0 application targeting a WM5.0 PPC device. I want this application to control and use the devices built in camera. Now this has been a hardware specific thing and difficult to code, until now. I have looked at using the .NETCF2.0 Managed Camera API that wraps up the native SHCameraCapture() call in WM5. The managed code fails dismally but I managed to write an embedded C++ DLL that wraps up the SHCameraCapture() call and this works for me. Two problems with this 1) Its horribly slow loading, kind of unacceptable, the built in HP software loads a lot quicker. 2) The complete lack of control over ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Peer Channel: Internal exception in PeerFlooderSimple.IsNotSeenBefore

  Hello, I am trying to get the peer channel to process received messages and have run into a real snag. When I call an operation on the mesh locally, everything works (message received, operation invoked). When a remote machine makes the same call, it also works locally on that machine, but locally on this machine I get an exception when the remote message is received. I can see via tracing that the full message from the other machine was received, but it doesn't get processed. Instead, I get a NullReferenceException in PeerFlooderSimple.IsNotSeenBefore. Can anyone explain this Below is the error I'm receiving, followed by the message that caused it. The message just contains a contact record and some endpoint information. < Messag ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can we Add ListItem objects to ListBox ?

  Dear friends i have basic doubt that is can we add ListItem's to ListBox (or) is ListItem's are only for ListView any suggetions Thanks Ranadheer You can add anything to ListBox because it accepts an object and every type in .Net is somehow directly or indirectly inherits from the object class. It better to Inherit from ListItem and override its ToString() method so atleast you can have meaningful view of its in ListBox: Here: public class MyListItem : ListViewItem { public override ToString() { return this.Text; } } I hope this will help.

• Visual Studio Documenting overloaded methods and Sandcastle

  I'm a bit of a newbie using Sandcastle, so please bear with me. I'm at a lost. I cannot find out how to document the collection of overloaded methods. For instance. Say I have four overloaded Add() methods: public void Add( string name) public void Add(string name, Socket socket) public void Add( Socket socket, RobotPart robotpart) public void Add(string name, Socket socket, RobotPart robotpart) It looks to me as though Sandcastle, by default creates a folder for all of these Add() methods, and randomly chooses one of the headers as the folder name (again please bear with me about the names I am using) Now, within a summary tag for another method, say GetSomething(), I want to place a tag which wil ...Show All

• SQL Server LOCAL USER vs GLOBAL USER set in agent service

  My replication is not working. I was able to create a transactional replication successfully. However, when i tried starting the agent on the snapshot, it wouldn't work. I figure that it was because my agent service login is different from that of the subscriber. my publisher and distributor is on local user whereas my subsciber sql services use our global login. Thank you in advance.

• Windows Forms Dates in PropertyGrid

  There seems to be a bug with dates properties shown in the PropertyGrid. When the value column of the PropertyGrid is wider than the standard monthview control, the dropdown extends the whole of this width, with the monthview appearing on the left, and a large amount of white space to the right. This doesn't look great. What's curious is that if you look at date property of a control in the properties window of Visual Studio, e.g. the MaxDate of a monthview control, this bug doesn't occur, i.e. the dropdown appears on the right and has a width which matches that of the monthview control that it contains. Any views on how to get this correct behaviour in one's own applications Hi, Please post your b ...Show All

• Commerce Server Extending Baskets and PurchaseOrders

  If I want to add properties to both the Basket and Purchase Order classes, do I have to extend each of them separately The Documentation says not to extend from OrderForm directly. Also, if the answer is that I indeed need to extend both the PurchaseOrder and Basket classes, how do I map the basket changes since there doesn't appear to be a Basket class for the storage mapping anywhere. Thanks, Dave Colin, My issue with the basket extensions is that if I have a custom property like "OrderType" that I use to search for baskets/purchase orders by on the front end, and with the orderManageMent context only supporting the basic filtering (equality based search parameters) I'm itching to write my own queries against th ...Show All

• SQL Server domain\user cannot log on SQL server 2005

• SQL Server EventHandlers firing events

  I ran into a pretty bizzare behavior in SSIS: I am trying to set up a package with a built-in auditing. It has a OnPreExecute, OnPostExecute and OnError event handlers. I am trying to record when the package starts, completes, and the completion status. Each one of these event handlers has a script task that does the logging. I put in debug message boxes into each event handler script to understand what goes on. So here's the sequence of events: 1. When starting the package the OnPreExecute event fires. Right away it fires the second time. I'm guessing what happens here is the script task within the event handler fires its own OnPreExecute event - that's how the first message really pops up. The second message is generated by the act ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC as Data Source in Workgroup Edition

  I'm working on a report that needs to connect to to an ODBC data source. The connection works fine in the designer, but deployment to our server fails with the following error: "An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'ODBC' that is not registered for this report server." I've verified that ODBC is listed under Extensions > Data in RSReportServer.config, so I'm curious if there's anywhere else that it could be misconfigured. The other possibility is that this is a limitation of Workgroup Edition, even though 'Reporting Data Sources' is checked on the SQL Server 2005 Features Comparison table . Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to pass the command to the other executable file?

  Hi, I'd like to make a gnuplot to load a file and do some commands in the file. I would like to use C#. I found that I could use in C#: Process.Start("wgnuplot.exe"); to call and run gnuplot, but I don't know how to pass the command for the gnuplot. The command I'd like to pass to gnuplot is: load 'command.gp' where command.gp contains some commands for the gnuplot. There are qestions: Is it possible to pass the command to the other executable file If it is possible, how to do it Thank you very much, Komomomo Actually, "wgnuplot" is a "gnuplot" but for windows, I believe. Your question is: Is there accessible source code of wgnuplot If this is correct, I think ...Show All
