You will even find your Chinese characters can not be correctly displayed in a Word document or under msn messanger or yahoo messanger when you try to chat with sb. or If you do not intend to install the Chinese version of Windows, you'd better download some Chinese software for data entry.

• Software Development for Windows Vista CardSpace in P2P

  Anyone have any pointers on how CardSpace [could be]/[is intended to be] used with WCF net.p2p (or similar) technology steven http://stevenR2.com This actually doesn't necessarily apply to P2P and i may be clutching at straws, but I'm thinking out the box a little and about where this technology could be used (it has been an area of interest for a few years now). So please knock me down with a big stick if an idea sounds ridiculous! Consider a service that purchases items from a one of a set of web services, depending on the item. Or, in the case of P2P, consider a service that can respond to requests from remote users requesting a file (say you advertise these files on some shared P2P app). In t ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums VEColor alpha 0.0 is as opaque as 1.0

  My observation, working a little bit with polylines, is that the A property of a VEColor does not work exactly as advertised in the SDK. While transparency 0.0 is meant to be transparent, 0.0 seems to be identical to 1.0. I am using IE6. Anybody else see this An obvious workaround is to use an alpha of 0.001, which looks pretty invisible to me. Yes, it DOES seem silly to be drawing invisible lines, but that's a separate issue. Can the polyline be fixed to behave as the documentation says it ought to It's nice to see the rollout of an improved SDK. Keep up the nice work! Any idea when MSFT will be giving us classes to support working with collections (creating, renaming, adding & deleting pins, etc) Thanks! Intere ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bug in texture content importer (alpha generation)

  It appears that a texture will be made chroma-keyed, even if you don't select the chroma-keyed texture processor. When importing a pre-saved DDS from Photoshop, pure magenta color turns to black (which in DXT1 can mean alpha), even when using the plain "texture (mipmapped)" processor. Bug filed at: https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=237899&SiteID=226 Both the SpriteTextureProcessor and the ModelTextureProcessor do color keying.  the plain TextureProcessor does not.  Are you sure the texture is being built with the TextureProcessor   Keep in mind that if you add both a model and that model's texture to solution explorer, you are actually causing the texture to be buil ...Show All

• Architecture DataSet Performance issue

  HI We are using a oracle stored procedure which returns a refcursor. For queries with like search which returns large number records the dataadapter.fill() is really takes time. For a case whcih returns 14000 records it took 3000 ms to perform the fill method, eventhou gh we are filtering by 99 recodrs using fill(ds, start, maxrecords). As the number of records increasing the time varies even if the filtering happens only for 99 records. Any idea how we can improve the performance. Or any other we can call the SP which gives any improvement We cannot modify the SP. And the DAL used by many diffrerent componenets.

• Software Development for Windows Vista This workflow is not owned by the WorkflowRuntime.

  Hi, I've got a sequential workflow that occasionally starts throwing the above exception. The app works its way through all the activities successfully creating the "executing" record for the HandleExternalEvent activities up to and including the last one, then fails (regardless of which one is last) and then starts cancelling and closing the activities. I've disabled the "last" activity and it just fails on the next to last (now the last activity).
