• Windows Search Technologies Why does WDS require Terminal Services?

  We have disabled Terminal Services via GPO due to increase security. When trying to install WDS 3.0, I get an error: "Setup has failed. Make sure Terminal Services are enabled before re-running setup." Even after enabling Terminal Services for the install, every reboot requires me to go in and turn Terminal Services back on or the Indexing service will not start. Why is TS required for this Any ideas for getting around this WITHOUT pulling Terminal Services disabled out of the GPO I would like to second this. I can understand why you are using Terminal services to create the single index, but as an administrator, this is painful, and the problem you are trying to solve is irrelevant. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to change selection highlight color [at hover and selection]?

  i don't know what i do wrong but i can't find a way to change the selection color from the standard system color to for example a linear gradient brush.

• SQL Server Adding 'Other' segment/slice in a pie chart

  Hi guys, I am creating a pie chart report from a cube . This report may contain unknown number of segments. Here is the thing; if more than 1 data slice is generated with a value less than 5% of the total, then a segment labelled 'other' will be generated, and data from all slices with value < 5% will be added to this 'Other' segment. Is it possible to implement this functionality in the report layout level with out writing a complex MDX query If this is not possible, can anybody give me a sample MDX query which implements similar issue(i.e. 'Other-ing' rule.) For your information, this feature can be easily implemented using a third pary software such as 'Dundas chart for Reporting Service'. However, my client don't want to bu ...Show All

• Visual C# Not able to find the function name in the assembly through reflection.

  Hi, I have an interface and some functions inside it. I have a class which implements this interface and one function prints "Hello world." and one property returning one integer value. Now I have compiled this class into an assembly. After this I have created one console application which loads this class and try to find out the function and property. I am using this code. Assembly a = Assembly .LoadFrom( "E:\\ClassForInterface.dll" ); MethodInfo method = a.GetTypes()[0].GetMethod( "INonUITests.RunTests" ); ParameterInfo [] parameter = method.GetParameters(); foreach ( ParameterInfo info in parameter) { Console .WriteLine( "Type of the parameter is :" + info.ParameterType); Console .ReadLine(); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System During a merge, the "Building Change Summary" goes into infinite loop

  My machine hangs while resolving conflicts during a merge. Here's what is happening: I initiate a merge between 2 branches It correctly identifies the conflicting files. I select one of the conflicting files and click on "Resolve" button. The "Resolving Conflicts" window comes up saying that its building a change summary. This process of building change summary keeps spinning.....and my machine hangs. The resolving conflict operation never ends. Note: This only happens for some files and not others. I tried doing this from multiple machines and got the same result. Is this a known problem, bug Thanks. It cannot happen during a "tree" merge, i.e. whe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development System.Console.ReadLine() always return lowered case string -_-!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compiling Boost in VC++ 6.0

  I would like to know how to compile Boost Library in VC++ as there are only header files(.h files) provided and no implementation files (.cpp files). As almost all of the Boost library is template based it is usually just defined in header files. So all you need to do is to just include the header file you need. Note: trying to use Boost with Visual C++ 6.0 can be a real pain as the support for templates in Visual C++ 6.0 is poor. If you wish to use Boost I would upgrade to at least Visual C++ .NET 2003. ...Show All

If all the locations (clients and services) of your application use WCF and you are only interested in using MSMQ as a transport, the NetMsmqBinding ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752217.aspx ) is your best option.

• Architecture DLL expertise

  Is there a book or consolidated web resource that provides advanced details of DLLs Some of the things I want to study in depth: 1) binding an executable to a specific version of DLL (that is, to resolve the addresses of imported functions at compile-time). 2) pre-mapping of DLLs to different fixed addresses. 3) relocating DLL code, as it is loaded from disk, can make it potentially non-shareable between processes. What exactly causes this 4) Can a DLL referenced in C++ code with #import be either explicitly or implicitly linked, or does it only permit implicit 5) In C++, when is it appropriate to use "#import" My own guess, regarding question 5, is that #import has two purposes: 1) To allow the registry to ...Show All

  Hello, I am using VSTO to create Outlook AddIn and have following questions: 1) In the calendar view, I want to find the time range (startDateTime and endDateTime) when a user selects certain range using mouse. Basically, I want to allow a user to select the time range with cursor and group all the appointments that fall within that time range in a group.
