• Windows Live Developer Forums Image search?

  Looks like my posting about Image Search was deleted (not sure why). All I'd like to know is this: when, if ever, will image search be implemented Thank you. I think Yahoo must've lowered their limit. I think they were once 10k. But, it doesn't matter much since, like MSN Live, this number is linked to an IP address. Which means I could publish an app and each installation will have 5K hits per day. I have no idea what Google is thinking by limiting their hits to Developer ID. That means that an entire deployment of an app, regardless of users, only has 1K hits per day. That's just useless. ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI problems/issues

  I have some questions on C++/CLI issue. Let me explain my situation: I have an existing native COM dll that contains my logic. It has been tested and works fine with native C++ client using CoCreateInstance. I would like to add a new logic and notice that BCL has a class that I can use. So I add a new source file and header which I compile with /clr since I need to use one of BCL classes (actually, at this point, it is just an empty shell). When I tried to CoCreateInstance in my native client, it couldn’t create. But if I go back to my COM dll project and take out the /clr in my new source file, it works fine. After some debugging, I found out the problem and have been able to fix the issue. However, I would like to get more detai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Does anybody know where I can find largeint.lib ?

• .NET Development Discovering serialized objects on a network stream

  Hello all, I'm hoping I might get a little guidance or opinion on something. I have a server application handling a number of clients via TCP/IP on different ports. The server holds rapidly changing data (processed from an incoming datastream) in an in memory dataset - this data is required to be displayed and used by a variety of client apps in different ways, but essentially they all need the same data held in the dataset. Currently there are a number of formatted, comma-separated messages that go to the clients, but which then require more processing at the client end. It is my intention to simply serialize the server dataset and deserialize it in each client. However, can I still send simple string messages as well as the serial ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Checkpoints

  I have a package that uses ssis checkpoints. It works well. However, when I try to setup transactions for some task, the chekpoints aren't used. I read BOL and It states: "If a package is configured to use checkpoints, Integration Services captures the restart point in the checkpoint file. The type of container that fails and the implementation of features such as transactions affect the restart point that is recorded in the checkpoint file ." But, how checkpoints are affected by transactions what relation exists between this two components Hernan93 wrote: Yes, you are rigth.

• 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).
