• Smart Device Development Deploying Multiple cab files at once

  I have developed my application and created the .cab file for this application. I followed the tutorial on creating an MSI file and custominstaller and this works fine. My problem comes from the fact that my application must also install .NET framework 2.0 and the SQLMobile .Cab file. I am wanting to package all of these together and be able to deploy them at one time from a users PC. I am not wanting to make the user click on each cab file to execute them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to accomplish this, or give me a good idea on how to do it. Thanks for any help Can I use installer.dll to do what I am wanting to do.  If I create different .cab projects and diff ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Please help: I'd like to make an informed decision

  Sorry for posting here, but I didn't see how to fit this question into the other forums. I downloaded and installed Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I manage to create my first application - nothing fancy but still much more useful than a "Hello World" program. However, before I commit to VB, I'm wondering if I should stick with it and learn everything there is to Visual Basic, or if I should move to C# or C++ instead. Prior to VB 2005, most of my programming experience is from many years ago in console-based versions of BASIC: Applesoft BASIC from the old Apple IIe computers (yes, I'm that old ;) ) and on the PC side, with QBASIC from MS-DOS 5. So, as you can imagine, VB wasn't too familiar for me. Leaving aside the typ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Disable automatic exception handling in DataGrid control

  Hi, I have a DataGrid control (the project was migrated from .NET Fx 1.1, and we don't use DataGridView). When the DataGrid commits a row to the data bound DataSet, if a constraint is violated, the DataSet throws an exception, and the DataGrid automatically shows a MessageBox. I would like to change that MessageBox but, if I catch the exception, the DataGrid doesn't roll changes back. Is there a way to ask DataGrid to handle exceptions, revert changes, and refrain from showing a MessageBox Thanks in advance Hi Ken, Thanks for your answer. The exception I'm trying to catch is a row-level validation exception, i.e., it is fired when the DataGrid calls EndUpdate on the DataRow and the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Newbie question - Methods not available

  Hi folks, Forgive me if this is a real dumb question... I'm a newbie to MS Workflow Foundation, and have only today download the Visual Studio 2005 extensions. I am working through a book I've bought on the subject "Presenting Windows Workflow Foundation - Beta Edition", and have fallen more or less at the first hurdle. One of the very first example contains the following code: ====================================== Shared Sub Main() Dim workflowRuntime As New WorkflowRuntime() workflowRuntime.StartRuntime() AddHandler workflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted, AddressOf OnWorkflowCompleted Dim type As System.Type = GetType (Workflow1) Dim parameters As Dictionary( Of String , ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Moving the view in 2D games

  Hello, I'm not sure if this will make sense but hopefully it will. Essentially I working on a 2D platformer as a way to develop a small 2D engine I'm working on that will hopefully help me when creating games in the future with XNA. The game is much like Mario, and like in Mario I need the view to follow the main character while moving non-player characters/enemies off the screen. I was wondering if anyone has developed a view-handling class or other code that would allow for a view to follow my main character on the X axis atleast while moving other objects off the screen while still allowing them to move relative their location. So while my character is running to the right of the screen, all objects are being pushed to the left until ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Implement custom correlation with Workflow published as Web Service

  Hi I know that workflows published as Webservices use the asp.net session as default correlation for the workflow instances. This is OK but not what I need (I Think at least) I have a WinForm GUI that needs to call this Workflow Web Service with delayed intervals like Create Booking, Confirm booking. So I need to make sure that I call the right workflow instance on the Workflow Webservice when the based on eg. a dropdown box with workflow instaces. So how do I do this Custom correlation on web services. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/04/CuttingEdge/default.aspx talks about a HTTP Module takes care of the Session => Workflow instance mapping. Do i need to make such a HTTP module my self If yes, how do I do th ...Show All

• .NET Development Config File, Tracing, and Custom Properties...

  Here's a humdinger whopper doohickey that I'm sure someone has run into. I just hope that someone reads MSDN Forums and knows the answer. I am using an app.config file to set my tracing information. I am able to have the config file use an inherited trace listener that I wrote rather than a framework listener, but the problem is, I have properties on my listener that I want to set, and the config file isn't going to recognize them. How do I set the properties on my custom TraceListener through the app.config file I've got my fingers crossed... where's the programmer in shining armor who's going to ride into town, whip out his code manual and throw down an example before riding off in the sunset to answer the next brainteezer. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to use a dialog retry timer for doing a web service call

  Hi Remus, I just started looking into SB about a week ago, so my question is likely to be pretty lame. However, that's not going to stop me from asking it :-) We're trying to do something similar to what you're describing here. How do you "reset" a dialog timer Why would you need to deal with resetting timers (or with timers at all for that matter) in the event of a success Couldn't you rewrite the logic to be as follows begin transaction receive message if message is web request save state of request (http address, caller etc) else if message is retry timer message load state of request endif commit do the web request (no transaction open) if success begin transaction send back response end conversation commit else set a r ...Show All

• SQL Server Capture date and timestamp of a file?

  Hi, I am pulling files from the FTP site using the FTP task. I want to also capture the date and timestamp of each of these files so that I can insert the values into a database and track when are these files get created normally on the FTP server. Any ideas Thanks in advance for your help. $wapnil spattewar wrote: No the transfer of files do not preserve the date and time. When i download the files all the files show the same date and timestamp. Can the FTP task be configured to preserve the date and time Thanks! $wapnil Well.... You can write a custom script to perhaps issue an 'ls' command inside the FTP session. Remember, FTP isn't designed for file interrogation, it's ...Show All

• SQL Server Invalid Locator de-referenced

  In our application we use three database(access, sql server and oracle) to store configurations. We use a program to copy the configuration from one database to another. We use ODBC and MFC recordsets to do the copy. We recently updated the application and changed the the table schema's. Before we had two tables which each had a schema of one long as key and one image field. Now we have one table with one long as key and three image fields. Now when we copy to sql server from access we get the error " Invalid locator de-refrenced" when we have large data (about 1 MB) in one image field. Before the change in schema's we did not have this problem with an image field with a large amout of data. We are using the sql server odbc drive ...Show All
