• Windows Live Developer Forums Map Control position

  Hi, Is there a way where in I could move the map control from the left hand side to the top as it was earlier (with version 2 of Mapcontrol.js). If yes can you please send me the code snippet. Thanks, Sampat. Sampat wrote: Hi, Is there a way where in I could move the map control from the left hand side to the top as it was earlier (with version 2 of Mapcontrol.js).

If I understand exactly what your saying is that you want the v3 dashboard to be positioned (and probably look similar) to the v2 dashboard. I mean you could hack the API to position the v3 dashboard to be in the center, but it'll overlap t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Use of trans-in-place filters

  Hi DirectShow forum, I read on the MSDN site: "Be aware that placing the Sample Grabber between a video decoder and the video renderer can significantly hurt rendering performance. The Sample Grabber is a trans-in-place filter, which means the output buffer is the same as the input buffer. For video rendering, the output buffer is likely to be located on the graphics card, where read operations are much slower, compared with read operations in main memory." I also read a suggestion that you could place a transform filter (not trans-in-place) filter between the sample grabber and the video renderer, then the samples would be grabbed from system memory (faster), not off the video card (slow). Could you confirm for me that thi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Cardspace Control Panel applet crashes (RTM)

  I have several development machines that I have been unable to get the RTM version of .NET 3.0 working on properly. Even after completely uninstalling the various pre-release CTP cardspace / infocard packages, if I make any changes (add / edit / delete a card), the applet crashes with an uncaught exception. Attempting to debug it in VS isn't much more helpful -- I get this error: System.ExecutionEngineException was unhandled Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' occurred in System.IdentityModel.Selectors.dll Is there some way to remove whatever Registry / files / settings / etc. are causing cardspace to crash This seems to be system-level as it occurs even with a newly created user account. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP7 CPU Very Busy

  On several occasions Data Dude has stopped responding while using from 50 to 90% of the cpu. It's happened while performing a data compare, while unloading a project or while trying to close a project. Some times I see the error message " Failed to retrieve msbuild property DBProduct from the project file ." Sometimes it comes back, and others it will run for hours if I let it.

• .NET Development Web Service Proxy Support in the .NET Framework 2.0. Problems Resolving Host Name. .PAC

  We have an Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file that uses the isInNet function to determine if the current request should be directed to our proxy server for external requests or be a direct connect if connecting to an internal server. We have a .net 2.0 client application that makes a call to a webservice. If the webservice’s url is configured with the host name (http://WebServer/WebServices/simple.asmx) we get an “The proxy server could not handle the request” error message. If we configure the webservice url to use the IP address (http://169.12.50.5/WebServices/simple.asmx) the webservice call works fine. If we remove the configuration for the .PAC file on the client machine both urls will work for the ...Show All

• SQL Server Granting UPDATE for only certain columns in a table

  I have tried using the SQL statement shown below to grant UPDATE permissions for a single column in a single table to a user with db_datareader privileges. grant update (col_1 ) on trs . dbo.table_1 to calc When I then run a SQL script that has an UPDATE for col_1 on trs.dbo.table_1, I get an error message Msg 230, Level 14, State 1, Line 2100 UPDATE permission denied on column 'col_2' of object 'table_1', database 'TRS', schema 'dbo'. Why is the error message referring to "col_2" when my SQL statement is trying to update "col_1" When I performed the "grant" I did it with an account that has db_owner, db_securityadmin, and db_ddladmin privileges.

• Visual Basic DataTable

  What is the .Net Professional way of saving , Editing, Deleting in DataGridView. Mirza Ashraf, Thank you for your question. Do you mean you need the explanation on the declaration of DataTable class It will be a long long story on the issue because of the inherits and implements. In that case, when I have some classes, methods or interface such as the IListSource, ISerialisable, I always look them up in MSDN linked as follows: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx Generally speaking, the DataSet stores a in-memory table that is serialized in XML format. This is the .NET Framework characteristic. So the XMLSerialisable interface is implemented. For other reasons on the interfaces, I recommend you to look up ms ...Show All
