• Visual C++ Missing icons on MDI child windows

  Having written code to create MDI master and child windows using Win32 API, I have discovered that when using the application under the Windows XP theme, icons assigned to the MDI child only appear when the child is maximized. When the child is minimized or normalized, a white space appears where the icon should be. The icon is assigned using - SetClassLong(widgets[1].hwnd, GCL_HICON, (LONG)geeicon); The icons appear using the same code using Windows 2000 and Windows XP, classic theme. Also if you start the application using classic theme and then change to XP theme the icons stay attached to the child windows. It is only if you start the appication in Windows XP theme that the icons are missing. Any ideas ...Show All

• SQL Server Need infos regarding install of SQL Express 2005 SP1

  Hi, A little technical question. If I want to install SQL Express 2005 SP1, do I have to uninstall current version first Thanks in advance, Stephane And as I have replied many, many times: NO, you do not have to uninstall your current version of SQL 2005 Express. When you start up the "Advanced Services" edition, you will be asked if you want to install a new instance, or just install the new advanced services and Management Studio Express. Please, give it a rest. Go make your installation. Go with Peace and Florish. ...Show All

  Our TFS lives in the folowing configuration: Server OS: Windows 2003 Server R2 Database Server: MSSQL 2005 + SP1 Some time later, after we had started using the TFS we got a problem with displaying of content of WorkItems in our <Project>.

• Visual Studio Team System Automatically compile references when running tests from Test Manager

  I have a simple solution with a test project and a windows application project in C#. If I make changes to the windows app project code and then click Run Tests from Test Manager, the windows app project does not get automatically recomplied. I have to recompile the project first, then run the tests. Since the windows app project is referenced by the test project, I would expect it to be compiled automatically if it has been modified. Does anyone know if this is a bug or if there is a configuration setting to get this to work I have searched the web and looked through all the property pages and option settings without any luck. Hi Rick, The scenario that you are mentioning works that way by design, ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Remoting And ReaderWriterLock

  Hi, I am working on a .Net Remoting program. In side the remoting class, I need to use a ReaderWriterLock object. But it seems that all method calls from remoting client can easily acquire the writer lock on that object regardless the lock has been acquired before. Here is the code sample public class RemotingExampleService : MarshalByRefObject {     private ReaderWriterLock lockObj = new ReaderWriterLock();     public void  LockObject()     {         Console.WriteLine(lockObj.IsWriterLockHeld); //return true except the first call         lockObj.AcquireWriterLock(-1);     } } I used Singleton r ...Show All

• SQL Server The password of the account must be changed

  I am trying to adapt a vb6 application to support sqls 2005 features. I am using SQL Server Authentication and want to support the feature which forces the user to change his password on the next login. Using an SQLOLEDB connection string, on trying to log I get an error saying that the password must be changed - fair enough - but how can I do this I would have expected to be able to supply both old and new passwords in the connection string, but there does not seem to be any such feature. Am I missing something obvious Thank you for your advice, which would have been useful if I had been using VB.Net, but I am still stuck using VB6, and it does not support the interface described.

• SQL Server Package ID "not available" in Management Studio

  Do you need certain file system permissions for the SSIS service account to view the Package ID (a guid) in management studio When viewing Stored SSIS Packages in Management Studio's Object Explorer, the Package ID for a given package is always listed as "Not available". This applies to .dtsx files stored on the file system (SSIS Package store). Conversely, for packages stored in MSDB (Sql Server), the Package ID is listed. P.S. The version major, version minor, and version build number are also always "0" for packages stored in the Package Store when viewed through management studio, even though they are clearly not zero when loaded in BIDS. windows xp sp2 SSIS version 2153. j ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Remoting and Whidbey upgrade path

  I was hoping to get feedback from the MS Remoting team on the future of remoting once Whidbey is RTM. I had heard a rumor from a co-worker that MS trainers had told them that once Whidbey is RTM, there is no upgrade path for current remoting solutions as remoting is not being supported in later versions of the .Net Framework. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me - please set me straight. TIA Remoting is a supported technology. You can still keep using it in Orcas and beyond. If the question is “will there be any new features added to Remoting ” then the answer is different. ...Show All
