• Software Development for Windows Vista Disabling IMAPI in Vista

  Is there a way to disable the IMAPI layer in Vista for a particular device Write-protected media, except for file system write protection, should indeed not be written by the shell integration of IMAPI. Drag'n'dropping file to such media, I get a prompt to insert a writable media and the read-only media is ejected. Exception is if you have already file(s) in the staging folder, then you can continue to edit the content of the staging folder. But again, this should be the shell integration of IMAPI and not IMAPI itself. Is this consistent with your observations ...Show All

• Visual Studio Controlling what is installed using Tools.InstallCommunityControls

  I have been struggling with the VS toolbox now for quite some time whitout really finding any solution. This is what I want to do: Create two tabs in the toolbox Add selected controls to the tabs Exclude controls that are base classes. I know how to create tabs and got it working using the ToolboxTabs.Add api. But then I have found that adding individual managed controls using the ToolboxTab.Add(string, data, format) api has been deprecated in favour of the InstallCommunityControls command. With the InstallCommunityControls, I can not find any support for specifying what classes in an assembly should appear in the toolbox and on which tab. Is it possible to control this at all using this command Plan B is to have a ...Show All

• SQL Server Get percentage with variation of field values (country names)

  Any help here would be greatly appreciated... Unfortunately, data wasn't filtered prior to getting inserted into this table. Now I am stuck with cleaning it up. I have thought about writing a query to update all the values, but there are just too many variations, including spelling mistakes, so I've ruled that out as a possible solution. I have a table which has a Country field but the values per record vary. For example US, U.S., USA, United States, UK, United Kingdom, Canada, Can, etc. I'm trying to find the percent of records per country.

• Visual C# Why does 'String' not have a copy constructor?

  Is there a reason that the 'System.String' type does not have a copy constructor A 'copy constructor' is a constructor that takes its own type as a parameter. I would have expected the string type to have copy constructor as it should permit strings to easily share the internal reference to the string data. This would both improve performance and reduce memory consumption as the internal string data object is shared, and not constructed, from the existing string to the new string. Am I missing something Thanks for the replies. The Copy constructor is the name for a specific type of constructor for a class and could have been used throughout the .NET Framework.  I have since read that copy constructo ...Show All

  MSDN version of the WS-Eventing spec: http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservices/webservices/understanding/specs/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnglobspec/html/ws-eventing.asp Does WCF 3.0 support WS-Eventing ...or are the patterns in the MSDN Mag article " What You Need To Know About One-Way Calls, Callbacks, And Events " ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/10/WCFEssentials/ ) the best way to implement a publish/subscribe pattern using WCF 3.0 The article is clearly written and relatively easy to understand but I am suprised how complicated the overall patterns are.
