• SharePoint Products and Technologies How to install additional CA site?

  Hi, there. I 'm playing with Best Practice Analyzer recently releaseed. When I run it on my farm, following advice was there. Is it really possible to install additional CA sites other than that created on farm creation If yes, great! then how to do it (I think technet should mention that if that is one of best practices...) Thanks in advance/ ---- Title: Highly Available Central Administration Capability Severity: 3 Description: Only one instance of the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration Web site exists in your installation. To make sure that you can administer the farm in the case of a failure of a server hosting SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration, you should ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem sending Dataset with an 'AnyType' field.

  Hi, I am currently trying to send a dataset from my client application to my service. With a 'normal' dataset where every field is of a certain well defined type, this doesn't cause any problems. When one of the fields of the dataset is a field of type 'anytype' however, things go wrong...

• Architecture Architecture options for running a long process from an ASP.NET website

  Hi, We currently have a solution where a user can upload a file, which gets processed in an ASP.NET v1.1 intranet website The solution was designed to handle 10-100 items, but customers have (ab)used the solution to process 1000-10000 items. Processing 100 items takes less then a minute, processing 1000 items takes around 7 minutes, larger uploads take (non-linear) longer. Now besides performance tuning the processing, I want to gather feedback on what is the best strategy to take the upload and have it process 'asynchronously'. After the upload, the user would immediatly get a status page which would refresh itself (every so often). So I have a few questions about what would be the best route to go about 1) Which process to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to access toolbar and menu subitem elements

  I have obtained an AutomationElement whose type is "tool bar". This toolbar contains multiple buttons. Given this, how do I get access to these buttons That is, how to I obtain the AutomationElements within this AutomationElement (the toolbar) I am using the TreeWalker and GetFirstChild() returns null on the toolbar AutomationElement. Thanks. Hi, i think the limitation is on .NET V2.0 controls and not because of the OS. Try to create a WPF app with a toolbar and it should work. Strip controls are a known problem for UIA. I use a fallback to MSAA to access them. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using Non-XBox 360 Controllers

  As far as I can tell the XNA framework doesn't allow me to use controllers other than the XBox 360 gamepad. In future releases of XNA will the use of other controllers be possible If not, then the framework is fundamentally flawed for those wishing to make games for windows.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Set webbrowser homepage.

  Could someone give me an example code of how to set the webbrowser homepage by opening a properties window Similar to internet explorer, but I only need to set the homepage. If it requires me to make a new form than that is fine. I just need to know. Also, I would like to know more about how to save history of urls typed into the textbox. I want it to be a seperate history from IE. Thanks in advance. I think that you can't because the WebBrowser that comes with Visual Studio is just Internet Explorer. What I would do is set your applications home page to a database, file, or something, and then access that URL when pressing the Home Button instead of using the GoHome command. ...Show All

• Visual C# Is this a bug of C# IDE

  This is the scenario: Open a cs file for editing. Spliting the window. Edit the file in lower part of code window. Then try to rename a variable in upper part of window with typing. Normaly that a rename mark should be shown and with mouse click or shortcut i can activate rename action. But in this case that doesn't show any more. Even when i remove the split of file, or try with diferent variable. That behaviour is lost for good from that point on. I need to close the file and open again to have such behaviour of rename assistance from IDE. Yep, that looks like a bug (I can reproduce). I suggest you log it at http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/feedback/ and post a link to your feedback here so people can vote... ...Show All

• .NET Development Is Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream culture-aware?

  I am trying to confirm whether Assembly.GetManifestResourceSt ream is culture-aware. I did some tests and it looks like it is not. But some sources say otherwise: http://www.nikhilk.net/WebReso urceAttribute.aspx . So, which one is it Thank you, Alex GetManifestResourceStream just gets a raw stream to an embedded resourse, by name, in the assembly. The resource could be any embedded file, like a bitmap or a resx file. It will only get the embedded resource that you ask for. If your assembly had an embedded resource specific to a culture you'd have to specifically ask for the embedded resource to load. So, no, it's not culture-aware. ...Show All
