• Visual Studio Team System Broken functionality in CTP4

  Hi I have two databases where one is a copy of parts of the other. When I do schema compare there are therefore quite a few tables that I would like to skip the creation of. So I try to change the Update Action to Skip for these tables. What happens is that I can't! The Update Action stays on Create. The only thing that do happen is that Create is grayed out and the Error List window pops up showing no errors(! ). Tried to pin the err window in case there was an event that got swallowed in the IDE but this had no affect. This used to work in CTP3, except from the annoying fact that you couldn't select multiple objects and skip them all. Brumlemann Update: A few of the tables listed actually have their Upd ...Show All

• .NET Development ASP.NET user permissions

  I am running an ASP.NET application on Server 2003. I want my application to start an external process.   E.g. System.Diagnostics.Process process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(processPath,arg );   When I try and do this using the above code it doesn’t work. I do not have any debugging facilities on the server so my only guess is that the ASP.NET user does not have adequate permissions to execute the process. Sound plausible   How do I give the ASP.NET user the rights to do this   Or, can i somehow launch this process using another user login   Thanks Try giving permissions to the folder in where the process resides and to the ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development Feature inqury (WinInet - SOCKS 5)

    First of all sorry if this message/thread wouldn't appear at the right place, I'm new to the forums, and dunno where to post it.   What I'd like to know is whether the WinInet API supports HTTP connections through a SOCKS5 proxy. I've successfully authenticated on a HTTP proxy server, and non-authenticated SOCKS (SOCKS4) connection works fine (gained some experience the old-fashioned trial-error way...), but SOCKS5 still refused to work.   In case some would have idea how to make it work, and would be as kind as sharing some details, I've mostly tried the InternetOpen(), InternetConnect(), HttpOpenRequest(), HttpSendRequest(), HttpClose() functions, together with InternetOption() called with&nb ...Show All

• SQL Server Very possible log shipping bug in '05

  I am trying to set up a dual log shipping configuration in SQL 2005 where I have one primary server to two secondary servers. All of the following is being done from the primary server. If I fill out the entire log shipping configuration window with both servers and then press OK, and let it all get set up, and then run the log shipping report, I only get status information for one secondary database - the other one is there but has no information available, yet the setups on both secondarys are OK and the jobs are succeeding on them. If I then go back into the log shipping screen for my database and remove the server that I'm getting no status information for and press OK to actually remove it, then go back in and re-add it and ...Show All

• Commerce Server Product List Screen

  On the product list screen ( the screen that shows a list of products) in the Starter Site where it shows display name and price. How do you configure this screen to show different columns. I thought clicking show in Product List in the Inventory and Catalog Schema manager would have done the trick but it does not seem to affect this screen. Does screen require back end coding changes to change the columns. Also, where can you change the number of rows that show per page. Please Advise. You need to modify controls\ProductList.ascx. I can see from another post that you've already done this but I wanted to post the answer here for others looking at the same problem. ...Show All

  Hi @ll, I require to implement a web service, which allows me to connect to VSS on another server and generate the file list for me.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) SetValue error in Firefox

  Calling the SetValue method in Firefox produces an error with the message "Error calling method on NPObject". The solution is to use dot notation rather than the SetValue method. So, for example, instead of obj.setValue("Fill")="red" simply use obj.Fill="red". The syntax obj.setValue("Fill","Red") does work ok - without producing the error in Firefox. The JavaScript example given in the documentation is sender.setValue("Opacity")=0; which suggested the syntax I first used. ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Desktop Search shortcut

  I'm trying to make a shortcut to launch Desktop Search with the Search Filter panel displayed. Does anyone know the syntax to do this "C:\Program Files\Windows Desktop Search\WindowsSearch.exe" /xxxxx What should the /xxxxx be to make this work Ok, I understand. There is no direct .exe you can run to do this. But, if you know how to program, all you need to do is write a simple C program to call a win32 api. SHFindFiles is what the shell uses to display the search pane from the start menu. SHFindFiles(NULL, NULL);    Other than that, you can use 3rd party programs called "SendKeys". These programs mimic keyboard input, and you would give it "Windows Key"+F keyboard comma ...Show All
