• Commerce Server Server Error in '/OrdersWebService' Application.

  Hi, I've had this error on 2 separate sites (CsharpSite and StarterSite). Am really struggling to resolve it. Looks like the AllowedStatusTable is expecting data but doesn't have any. I've found another post on the forum for the same problem http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1083101&SiteID=1 but he didn't get an answer. I'm sure we'd both appreciate some help. Thanks very much. Server Error in '/OrdersWebService' Application. The specified value for the newOrderStatus attribute is not valid. The value provided was: 'NewOrder'. Please make sure an entry for this value exists in the AllowedStatus table in the transaction config database. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Projecting 2D Coordinates Into 3D Coordinates

  I just got started with XNA (and C# for the most part, though my experience with Java seems to help) and ran into a snag. I did the tutorial about display points using the VertexBuffer object and wanted to take it to another level. I wanted to get the mouse coordinates when the mouse is clicked and put a new point on there. I got the input and figured out how to add points to my array, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to take my 2D screen coordinates from the mouse and put it into 3D coordinates. Does anyone know how I can do this If it matters, here's the code I used to create my projection and view matrices: viewMatrix = Matrix.CreateLookAt( new Vector3(0, 0, 5), Vector3.Zero, Vector3.Up ); ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ATI TV audio problem - $300 offered

  If anyone is interested in getting paid to help me with this project, please email me as 2006a@ronhudson.com or two-thousand six at ronhudson dot-you-know-what. I will pay a bonus to the first person who can help me get the audio working on the platform I'm using now, or to the first person who can prove that my current machine/tuner card won't work with ds.net. There will be more follow-on work for this project if someone is looking for a nice little side job. For example, I can pay up to $1500 if someone can help me with the digital tuning piece. I know that these are questionably-low rates for this kind of work, but I just want everyone to know I don't EXPECT to get good help for free. I also plan to do as much of the actual programm ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Can we modify our bots now!?!

  The www.robotinvaders.com site says that we are only required to host our robots until November 15, 2006. Since this is the case and the judging period is over (I think it is anyways) can we modify our bots now 5. Host the robot on your server Publish your BOT to a personal Web space. You must host your robot until November 15, 2006. Haha right. Unless you have real good reasons to take it offline, I would let your bot still be online. In the first place I wouldn't be so sure that the judging is done (because else the results would have probably been published) and in the second place it is cool to let other people see your bot. ...Show All

• SQL Server run SSIS package with ODBC connection via SQL agent

  It seems there a lot of problems running SSIS packages under the sql agent. I have read the knowledgebase articles regarding permission issues etc but I still can't get my job to run. I can run any package as a job apart from a package that connects to an external database via an odbc connection. Has anyone had any luck with this and can let me in on the secret. Hey Andy Thanks for the reply, it seems that the issue is that I'm using a 64 bit OS and 32 bit odbc driver and when sql agent runs it uses the 64bit program files as opposed to the 32 bit program files which means that it couldn't find my odbc dsn. So to get around this had to create a batch file which calls the 'x86' program files. Have al ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 issue with Integrated Windows Authentication in IIS

  Hi, I've a web application developed in ASP.NET which is hosted in a Windows 2000 server with only Integrated Windows Authentication enabled. This is to make use of Active Directory Services. Now, everything works fine with IE6. But in IE7, I get the Page Not found message. When I checked the headers, I saw the status as 401.1 which, if I am correct, basically is because of some Permission issues. Why do I get this if I use IE7 This above issue is with my Production server. Now, having said that, I've a test server which is also Windows 2000 on which everything works well. I just dont have a clue as to where the problem is with my Production server. Please help me on this ASAP as I am getting a lot of calls from my clients regar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Getting a report to show up w/o hitting the refresh button in the viewer?

  I have a project that is acting strangely. The project has a crystal report viewer and a report that is a part of the proeject itsself. The report is using a stronjly typed dataset that I created for the report, so there is no connections to an external database in the report. To display the report I am taking the following actions. crpRookie.ReportSource = rptRookies; rptRookies.SetDataSource(rptData); rptRookies.Refresh(); rptRookies is the report. crpRookies is the Crystal report viewer object. rptData is the stronly typed dataset that was created for the report. Sometimes this works and I see the data in the viewer that I expect, but some times it doesnt and I have to hit the refresh button on the report to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A moron needs help! (yes i am that moron)

  I got XnA being the typical lazy git. i thought it would be drag 'n drop. I was wrong. i started a new application (windows game) and found myself clueless...what code do i put in How do i craft the game i am totally clueless and the tutorials are makin' it worse can someone tell me how to make a game like 'tank busters' or 'space war' I haven't watched them, but http://www.xnatutorial.com/ claims to have a series of videos about learning XNA targeted towards the non-programmer. But really, if you don't have any programming experience, I would recommend buying a book on C# or taking a class or both. It's much more involved than drag-and-drop. Good luck! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) including web browser control in xaml window

  I need to included the Visual Earth control in my XAML project (I.e. One window, with gui controls and the Visual Earth control). Right now, the Visual earth control needs to run in the web browser control. I can use VS2005, create a winform, and drop the web browser control into it decorate the area around with my controls. However, sparkle, and XAML windows don't seem to support direct placement of the web browser control into a XAML window. Is there some sort of container that I could use inside of a XAML window so that I could have a integrated unified look & feel for these sort of controls that XAML does not natively support Hi Dr./Matt, I attempted the approach Matt is referring to last week. However, the problem that I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Container control?

  Hi. I'm trying to make a control that can contain other controls. I make a UserControl, but I can't get it to work. I can't drop another control on it. Sorry for the newbie question, but in VB6 I only had to set a property to make it a container control. I'm really a bit confused. Any help Thanks. Hi, to make your control act like a container for other controls at design time, you have to add a special  System.ComponentModel.Designer attribute to your control declaration, something like: <System.ComponentModel.Designer( "System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner,System.Design" , GetType (System.ComponentModel.Design.IDesigner))> _ Public Class UserControl1     Inherits System. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview Master / Detail Highlight Rows

  Hey Guys, I currently have a master / detail form with two datagridviews, which is working nicely. However the main grid shows transactions, and the child grid shows comments. Not all transactions carry comments, infact very few do. I decided to separate the grids by a splitter and hide the child grid. I'm trying to find a way to flag / highlight the parent grid if it contains child rows so the user knows there is a comment if they wish to view it. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this I thought there may have been a hasChildRows boolean value but appears not! Just on the cell formatting event, I tried changing the highlight feature to add a picture to a datagridview unbound image column to indicate a comment. When I do ...Show All
