• SQL Server FTP bad password

  I'm trying to make an ftp task. I am able to make the connection manager. When I test the connection it works fine.

• SQL Server Unable to Access HTTP Endpoints from C# application when using Integrated security

  I hope you can help me to solve my issue. I created an endpoint and have an application to consume the methods from endpoint. Every thing work fine when i use the Impersonation with specific user id and password. In other words i am using Authrentication method = windows and Impersonate = true, user id = "[DOMAIN\userid]" password = "password" in web.config. But this is not the way i want to use endpoints in my application. I want to make it work without any user id and password in Impersonate section of web.config. The end points must be accessible to user using their own credentials. By the way i am using Authentication = (Integrated) in Endpoint definition and the same in IIS. In my .net application i am using proxy.Credentiats = Syst ...Show All

• SQL Server merge agent not started - Start Synchronizing disabled

  i'm running a SQL Server 2000 SP42000.8.00.2039, developer. i'm trying to setup a merge replication between the default istance and a named one of the same machine, using the same domain account for both publisher and subscriber. when it comes to "start synchronizing" (right click on the subscriber merge agent), i found it disabled, just like it is running, but it is not (the icon shows a stop sign, even refreshing.) The state is "disactivated". When i stop sync and start it again things don't change. If i setup a "pull" subscription, i get a sequence of a message like "interface not supported" (a translation from italian "Interfaccia non supportata"): after 10 attempts, it stops. i cannot ...Show All

• Visual C++ Existing MFC app. Switching from ODBC to OLE DB. ATL or MFC? Can I mix?

  I have an existing MFC app in which I connect to a VFP database using ODBC. Since VFP no longer supports ODBC, I am switching to OLE DB for the connection. Should I be using MFC or ATL to implement this interface Can I mix ATL classes in my MFC application The MSDN library has the following comments that I don't understand: The following example assumes that you are adding OLE DB consumer support to an existing ATL project. If you want to add OLE DB consumer support to an MFC application, you should run the MFC Application Wizard, which creates all the support necessary and invokes MFC routines necessary to execute the application . When I originally created this APP I did run the MFC Application Wizard at that time. B ...Show All

• Windows Forms SaveFileDialog how to use?

  I have a richtextbox1 on a child form inwhich I write a small bit of text in. I then want to save the text from this richtextbox into a .txt file. I have got the saveDialog menu at the bottom of my screen But I am unsure how to correctly make this all work. I know there should be some dialog.filter and index for txt files code somewhere but I dont know where. The code i have done so far is :- private void saveToolStripMenuItem_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { DialogResult dr = saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); if (dr != DialogResult .OK) return ; else { StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter ( "filename" ); sw.Write( ); //What should I put in the Write function } } Also is ope ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook Addon - MessageBox not displaying in the current active window.

  I have created an Outlook add on which performs actions when the ItemSend mail event occurs. I have a confirm dialog box that pops up. 1) If the e-mail message is open on my secondary monitor the messagebox will display on monitor 1. 2) If the e-mail message is open on my primary monitor the messagebox will be displayed BEHIND the message window. I suspect the problem is that I need to pass the MessageBox the parent window to be displayed in. Just I don't know how to go about doing that. At the moment all I have is: MessageBox.Show("Hello World"); Thanks. Thanks guys. That looks like what I am after. I kind of knew why the problem was happening just didn't have a clue at how to fix it. I will tak ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Image Ghosting & ContentManager questions- BETA 2 issue...

  I have an issue with the BETA 2. I am migrating my Slime Volleyball code (see my site: http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx ProjectName=SlimeVolleyXNA ) over to the BETA 2 framework.   I seem to have an issue with the drawing code. In the old version I had a Slime class that handled a Slime. It drew itself using a Spritebatch in that class (this meant >1 SpriteBatches). I used to have the Slime load it's texture file in the Slime constructor. Now we have to used the ContentManager. This is a little confusing to me. Should I have a ContentManager for each Sprite (Slime and other) or should I pass the default (in Game1.cs) ContentManager to each new Sprite. I have tried this approach but I have a slight image ghostin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Delegate, Invoke/beginInvoke. How it works.

  Could anybody please tell me exactly what is going on with delegates and Invoke/BeginInvoke. It is easy to make these functions work, but the explanations in the help files are so cryptically, that you may question whether the author of the help files actually knows what is going on! According to the help files, BeginInvoke executes a delegate asynchronously on the thread that the control's underlying handle was created on! I have been working with microcomputers since Intel 4004 and used multitasking when Microsoft was still in the DOS days, but this explanation is simply too cryptically. First of all, as I understand it, a delegate is a type-safe pointer, but a pointer is not executed - at least not in my terms. Subroutines are execut ...Show All
