• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Blocking IM

  Hi, Is it possible to block IM for all users in LCS 2005, i just wanto to use Audio Video conferencing feature. Pls help. Ekta We checked with the Microsoft support engineers, and here is what they told us: "IM (read SIP communication) is the basis for communication in LCS. Audio and video conferencing are added functions when you have an IM session open with another user. Hence disabling IM and enabling only audio and/or video conferencing is not possible." We hope this helps. Thanks Lisa (MS ISV Buddy Team) ...Show All

• .NET Development Declaring an Event in a class causes memory leak?

  I think this one is for gurus. I am creating a class with an Event, then I instantiate the class and dispose of it. VB seems to be wasting 16 bytes each time. Any help I'm desperate!! Example Class: Public Class Myclass Public Event Status(ByVal pText As String) Public Sub New() End Sub Protected Overrides Sub Finalize() MyBase.Finalize() End Sub End Class Example Form That Instantiates / Clears the class This form only requires a textbox (multiline / accepts return) and a button. Imports System.Threading Public Class Form3 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim LClass As New LeakingClass LClass = Nothing End Sub Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal se ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Windows Desktop Search Filter encountered a problem and must Shut down

  I am getting the message; "Windows Desktop Search Filter encountered a problem and must shut down. We are sorry for the inconvienience" every few seconds. The only way it stops is to snooze for an hour or to shut down Desktop Search. I love the application but can't tolerate the interuptions. By the way whether I click "Send Error Report" or "Don't Send" the Desktop search engine does not shut down as promised it just sends another error notice a few seconds later. Where can I get help for this problem. It worked fine for about a week and then this behavior. I have uninstalled and redownloaded the application and reinstalled but the behavior continues with the new installation. The &q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Saving screenshots

  Since SurfaceLoader has disappeared I tried to make this code work: Texture2D tex = new Texture2D(device, device.Viewport.Width, device.Viewport.Height, 1, ResourceUsage.Dynamic, SurfaceFormat.Color, ResourcePool.SystemMemory); device.CopyFrontBuffer(0, tex.GetSurfaceLevel(0)); tex.Save("C:\\screenshot.png", ImageFileFormat.Png); It throws an exception; and so does this: Surface s = device.CreateOffscreenPlainSurface(device.Viewport.Width, device.Viewport.Height, SurfaceFormat.Color, ResourcePool.SystemMemory); device.CopyFrontBuffer(0, s); Did I miss something or is this a bug --Michael Beware that code will fail for multisample render targets and that the graphics component ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Copy File Error in Visual FoxPro 7?

  When a COPY File Command is executed and a space is in either a folder name or a file name, the instruction is unable to handle it. I have tried a technique to put in " quote marks in the manner '"<path><filename>"' but then it gives me a syntax error. Is this a bug or am I entering the full path and filename wrongly If this is a known bug, is there a patch for it If not, how do later versions of VFP do with this "bug" Thanks Andy. I believe that I tried the solution you mentioned, but it failed to work. It may have been further impaired by the fact I was using macro variables for the path filename and I don 't believe the quotes got through to the final command The par ...Show All

  Hi all, im having about 650 polygons, rendering in the code below, the problem is that on the XBOX it runs in about 25 FPS, and hack when it gets rotated. Hope someone has a idea to how I can speed it up: private void DrawModel( Model m) { Matrix [] transforms = new Matrix [m.Bones.Count]; float aspectRatio = 640 / 480; m.CopyAbsoluteBoneTransformsTo(transforms); Matrix projection = Matrix .CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView( MathHelper .ToRadians(45.0f), aspectRatio, 1.0f, 10000.0f); Matrix view = Matrix .CreateLookAt( new Vector3 (0.0f, 50.0f, zoom), Vector3 .Zero, Vector3 .Up); foreach ( ModelMesh mesh in m.Meshes) { foreach ( BasicEffect effect in mesh.Effects) { //effect.Ena ...Show All

• Visual C# Constructor on type 'MYCLASS' not found.

  I have 7 classes.. Some of them inherited from non serializable object , some of other inherited from 3rd party components. All of my classes have got [Serializable] attribute , ISerilazable interface and ClassName( SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) Most of them have got List of the other as property . Altough everything fine I got error like that " Constructor on type 'myclass' not found." I couldnt understand why Thx for advices.. I think that when you iterate through the types via reflection each type must implement a default constructor (without parameters). Stay cheerful, Dave ...Show All

  I have a few questions about browser apps.

• Visual Studio Express Editions .Net Framework 3.0

  I see that the .Net Framework 3.0 is now available. What are the benefits (if any) of upgrading from 2.0 to 3.0 Thanks... no .NET Framework is installed automatically by WU but this is listed as an optional component. Windows XP SP2 ships with .NET Framework 1.1 as does Windows Server 2003. Windows Vista ships with .NET 3.0 as standard so currently its your call on what you would like to do. I would still dev apps in .NET 2.0 until say another 4 months then move onto .NET 3.0 at the end of the day if someone runs your app and it requires a .NET Framework version, then its best to have it installed with your app than to "bypass" or ignore your application. At some stage, .NET will have to b ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2:Scanning network drives

  Hi, In WDS 2.6.5 it was possible to scan network drives. In WDS 3.0 Beta 2 this is not possible. When will this feature be returning. As it stands, due to My Documents being redirected and other files being stored on network locations WDS 3.0 isn't much use in a corporate environment. Cheers Janson WDS 2.6 does not index public folders. It appears to index them, but none of the items are actually indexed. I am running in cached mode, with my folders selected to favorites, and the items are properly indexed in WDS 3.0. But WDS 2.6 will not index these items. Now, of course, I cannot index any network drives. UGH! ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums VB and Messenger Live

  Is it possible using VB6.0 to "connect" with Messenger Live to send out a message to either individual or a group of contacts The reason for the questions is that I have an in house program that needs to delete a file and then recreate it but I keep running into an issue with access issue since other users have the file open. I want to be able to have my program broadcast a message out to the users to close the file. Thanks in advance for the help. Unfortunately you are looking for assistance for doing this in VB6, a language that Microsoft no longer supports and one that is not intended for help on this forum. You may however want to look into VB.NET Express for such a project as it offe ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to handle transaction consisting of different data sources?

  I want to know how to handle transaction consisting of different data sources (e.g. VFP dbfs and MS SQL tables). Thanks, Peter Seems to me you'll need to handle this yourself. Your best bet is to create your own StartMixed, CommitMixed and RollbackMixed functions or methods. (I'd use methods of an object to which I'd give information about what servers and tables are to updated.) Then, in those methods, handle starting, committing or rolling back all the relevant sources. Tamar ...Show All
