• Visual Studio Add Resources using EnvDTE in VS 2005

  Hi, I am using EnvDTE to generate a project from templates. What I would like to do is, in my Wizard, I give the user the option of selecting an Icon file. I can programmatically add this icon file to my Project. But I cannot add it to the Resx file as a resource. If I add a token "placeholder" for it in my csproj file, it does not find the file since my token replacements occur on RunStarted() whereas I add the file programmatically only on RunFinished(). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Regards I am strugling to find the appropriate interfaces to access the resouces of a project. I can access the project properties : Project project = document.ProjectItem.Containing ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Cannot upload a .exe file to a sharepoint site.

  Hi, I am unable to upload an exe file to a site created using MOSS 2007. Inspite of removing .exe from the list of blocked files in Central Administrator, I still cannot upload a exe file. How do i upload a .exe file Any information on this will be appritiated.. Thanks in advance, Regards, Sunit Pinto Probably the easiest way is to just zip up the file. SPS was not really meant to replace a file share so things like exe files are better left off of it. I believe Mike Fitzmaurice has a blog entry about just this type of thing. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Third-Party Charting Products that work with ReportViewer?

  Hi there, Does anyone know of third-party charting products that work with ReportViewer in local processing mode I've looked at Dundas and ChartFX, and I'm waiting to hear back from their sales & support people, but from all outward appearances those two products only work with reports that are generated on a server. Thanks, Eva Pierce Monsen ...and, should you need to place said image in a header, you can Base64 encode it and pass it in as a parameter, decoding within the design. Hopefully, this'll get easier in a future drop... ...Show All

• Commerce Server Biztalk Adapters Sample

  Hello, Can I get some help on how the CatalogRecvPort, CatalogSendPort, and CSAck ports should be set up Specifically, what should the Port Type and Transport Type be for each Thanks A catalog receive port is used to export catalog information from the CS system to some other LOB system. This is a one-way port. The transport type will be CS Catalog. A catalog send port is used to either import data into the CS system, or query the CS system. Both import and query should be configured as static solicit-response ports. The inbound message (either the import or the query) represents the solicit message in this pattern. The adapter passes the message to the CS web service, which generates the resp ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) databinding issue, june ctp

  hi, i just updated to june ctp and started working on a new project (of course the may-ctp projects are not working anymore..). in may-ctp i got used to working with clr data objects, which i implemented throu a dll, which provided some observable-collections containing the data. those i bound to the root grid element, to be consumable by child element via an explicit data connection. in my new project there seems to be a bug with this kind of binding to data (i haven't tryed the xml-option yet): althou i configure the correct dataContext and the data seems to be available and consumable (i bind the Count property of the collection to a label which returns the acurate value), i even see the data when working in EID, but i do not s ...Show All

• Visual Basic accessing dataset fields

I want to get a list (array) of all the values in a certain column in a dataset, how can I go about doing this Also, what is the format for getting the value in a certain field from a dataset Like "Row x, Column y" where x and y are specified by a unique row value and unique column name.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. question about boundingspheres and planes

  Hi, the Xna framework supports functions to find if a boundingsphere intersects with a plane or at what side of the plane the boundingsphere is located. This seems very handy to determine if over a given time a sphere crosses a plane. However , are there functions in the Xna framework to determine at what given time the collision happens , and at what location the sphere hits the plane And even better , if this collision happens within the surface of a given triangle ...Show All

• Visual C++ Question on FILEDESCRIPTOR Structure

  Hello All, I have been having some problems with the length of "file path + filename" greater than a certain number of characters (242 characters). The problem is occuring in the drag and drop operation. FILEDESCRIPTOR structure is used to describe the properties of a file that is being copied by means of the clipboard. I see that the MAX_PATH defined is 260 characters. I would like to find out if somebody encountered this situation and is there any function or property related to FILEDESCRIPTOR structure which can understand this path without any problems. Thanks, CPPUser7. Windows actually allows path names of up to about 32,000 characters by prefixing the name with \\ \. You'll find it doc ...Show All

• .NET Development Intermittent slow response while using custom HttpHandler

  Hi friends, I am trying to build a custom HttpHandler which accesses a remote site to fetch the responses. I have placed the HttpHandler in a website (abc.com) and modified the configuration files so that all accesses to the website is intercepted by the handler. However I find that when I access the website (abc.com/default.asp) for the first time it takes significant time to get the response. Subsequent responses come very fast (without any perceptible delay). However if the IE is idle for sometime (say 5 mins) the next response again takes a painfully long time. My guess is that the .NET platform dumps the custom HttpHandler when the client browser is idle for some time and reloads it when the next request comes. Can someone p ...Show All
