• Connected Services Framework Unable to send messages to yourself?

  It seems to be impossible to send messages back to the sending participant (don't ask me why I want to do that ). When I create a session with only one participant (short-version manifest retrieved from session management console posted below), any messages I sent to the Session containing the correct action produce a 'Zero routed resolved...' message in the Event Log at the Session server. Is it illegal/impossible to send messages to yourself Or to create a Session with only one participant THE EVENT LOG ENTRY Timestamp: 12/1/2006 10:49:20 AM Message: Zero routes resolved for the incoming message - urn:uuid:679cc7dd-5eee-42bf-a95e-492dffa160db Category: Session OperationalEvent Priority: 2 EventId: 20146 Severity: I ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem Creating Stored Procedure From A Library, DLL

  I'm having a problem creating Stored Procedure from a library I have created.

• Smart Device Development StackOverFlow Exception

  Hi, I’m working on a Pocket PC application in VB.Net on Compact Framework. There are many modules in this project, including 5 games. This an Icon based project and these icons are displayed using PictureBoxes. The problem: There are 3 events (Mouse Move, Mouse Down and Mouse Up ) associated with the array of Picture Boxes(icons). We are facing a problem: Multiple clicks results in a “ StackOverFlow Exception ” and the application crashes! (This might be because each click triggers 3 events as mentioned above ) Is it possible to detect the status of the stack and if so, how can the contents be deleted to avoid this Exception Can anybody suggest how this can be solved ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Configuration in different environments

  Hello, I want to store each SQL Server's (prod, test, etc) connection string in XML to make deployment & configuration easy. However, the connection string must be encrypted.

I just went through the Sql Server Configuration Type and it gives me the functionality I need. Oh Yeah... You're sessions at TechEd Boston were awsome (especially SSIS Performance Tuning).

• .NET Development Unmanaged to managed callback through wrapper: this works but is it good?

    I implemented callback in mixed mode the following way and it works fine but I wonder if this is the right way to do it. In particular, is this 100% safe I mean could there be some obscure GC/CLR "event" that would make it crash at some point, for instance should not I be using pin pointers It works this way: a delegate is declared in C# and used as argument to the setCallBack() function of a C++ .net wrapper. This function casts this pointer and use it to initialize the callBack pointer value in an unmanaged C++ class (it also keeps its value so the Wrapper can also call the callback). The C++ .net wrapper is shown below: public ref class WrapperClass { public : delegate int CallbackType(); ...Show All

• Windows Forms Preview Form2 on Form1

  I have 2 forms, Form1 & Form2. On Form1 I'd like to have a small scale preview window of Form2 when I run it. Form2 will be running fullscreen on another monitor in a dual-monitor setup. Please can someone help me with this Thanks in advance 30 frames a second would be close to impossible. First you have to copy a block of memory (within a bitmap), if you can even copy the mpg control's graphics), then you have to scale that down to a new block of memory, then copy that block of memory to the screen via your picturebox control. The mpg control is doing the same with highly optimized algorithms and probably not going much faster than 40 fps. What is the benefit of showing a smaller copy of something r ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista NumericUpDown control doesn't look right on Vista with VisualStyles enabled

  Hi, This question was originally posted on dotnet.framework.windowsforms, but MSDN team seems to fail on their 'reply within 2 working days' claim. Anyway, the question was: The UpDown buttons of the NumericUpDown control don't look right on Vista with VisualStyles enabled and with certain combinations of DPI and screen resolution settings. Specifically, with 96 DPI and 1680x1050 resolution the UpDown buttons are shifted and clipped. The same settings work fine on Windows XP. Obviously, when VisualStyles are disabled the control looks right, but it is kind of important for our applications' UI to have the same L&F both on Vista and XP. Can I (or Microsoft:)) do anything about this porblem Any help/advice would be appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual C++ OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog crashes windows application

  I built a simple windows application in C++ with the .NET framework (using Visual Studio .NET 2005).
