• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Does Rotate also mean skew?

  I've drawn a Rectangle and filled it with a DrawingBrush, then tried to transform the brush and rotate it by 45 degrees [ see the source code ]. The resulting transformation as you can see in the image is also skewed. The same applies for all brushes as well as the opacity mask ones. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening (this was answered in the newsgroups, but in case people aren't watching there I'll copy the thread back) I believe that's correct - basically what's happening is that your rotation is applied, and the result is then scaled by Viewport.Width / Viewbox.Width, Viewport.Height / Viewbox.Height. If that results in a non-uniform scale, you'll see what looks like a skew applied to your rotated object. I'll ...Show All

• SQL Server INSERT INTO table From EXEC -

  Hello, How can I insert values from a query directly to a table in my database the query gets values from a linked server and i want to directly insert the results in my local database. This is how i thought would be done: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_INSERTfromEXEC AS BEGIN INSERT INTO dbo.mytable EXEC dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer END When i execute dboSP_INSERTfromEXEC procedure, then i get this error: The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "blahblah" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. Now, when I execute dbo.QuerytoLinkedServer procedure, i do get the values, there is no error. It just doesn't want to insert it I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...Show All

• Visual C++ Dependency debugging

  Is there anyway to turn on any kind of dependency output so I can debug a problem that I'm having If you've ever used make i'd like to see output similar to 'make -p'. My solution file has 15 projects in it and any time I try to debug the main program it thinks that all the projects are out of date and need to be rebuilt even i just rebuilt 2 seconds ago. Thanks in advance. This is very annoying. Please add something like this or fix the visual C++. It's a shame that years after the makefile concept was introduced vc8 still can't get this right. I get unnecessary builds every day when I do make solution. The users shouldn't have to break up their solutions just because projects spontaneously get out of dat ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How to disable backspace

  Is there a way to disable backspace, so that when I am entering text in a form and hit the backspace, I don't accidentally go back a page if my cursor is outside of the text box This is a major problem for online university tests that have essays, because you end up ending your test in the middle of an essay if you hit the backspace. Note - I don't want to disable this as a web-developer, but rather as a client. (IE, there's a lot out there on code to disable backspace on a web-page you wrote; I want to know how to disable it for all webpages of my copy of IE 6). Thanks. Jon Thanks for the suggestion, Omar. This almost works, but I want to be able to use the backspace key for its original function (backsp ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 FTP Security Issue

  I have run into a security hole in my ftp site that has only now become a problem with IE7. The structure of my ftp directory involes several streaming media folders and a Client folder in the root directory. The contents of the client folder and its children are all password protected. Inside these folders I upload content for my clients to view approvals and allow them to upload files for my own use. The root directory has read-only permissions for everybody because of the streaming content I am hosting. In the past when a client logs into their ftp folder, the password protected nature of the client folder prevents them from moving up in the hierarchy outside of their folder. In IE7 however, I have found that a client can now leave he ...Show All
