• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) which is the beta of winfx that I should install to develop since Vista RC2?

  Hi Which is the beta of winfx that I should install to develop since Vista RC2 Is it valid the september CTP Thanks in advance Javier I don't know much about complete .NET 3.0 story, but I can provide some info on WCF as I know, we didn't change any WCF class libraries between RC1 and now (we are fixing bugs, but we are not changing class library),so if you write WCF application on RC1 or September CTP,we don't need to worry about any big changes between now and RTM ...Show All

• SQL Server Can aggregate functions be used in a check-constraint or a computed-column?

  Hi, Can aggregate functions (e.g. Sum, Avg) be used in a check contraint or in a table's computed column Thanks! Green: I don't think you can use subqueries for either circumstance; therefore, I am not sure that you can apply either one to a table. I think that the best you can do for a function is a scalar function. Can somebody else verify this Dave ...Show All

• Visual C# How to know Is Serializable?

  How can I know whether a type(e.g. BindingList<>) is Serializable, both in design time and run time Thanks In my experience even types which implement ISerializable must be marked with the SerializableAttribute or a runtime exception will result. No reason not to define it anyway. That said, the most concise way at runtime would be the System.Type.IsSerializable property: GetType(YourType).IsSerializable (typeof(YourType).IsSerializable in C#) or yourInstance.GetType().IsSerializable while the above methods are valid I do find this clearer and to the point. This covers your basic Binary and Soap serialization. However, with regards to XmlSerialization, all types are potentially serializable however they ...Show All

• .NET Development How to SSLStream to access ssl server with expired certificate

  Hi all, Currently I use sslstream to connect to ssl server, but the certificate of that server have been expired => I can't create ssl connection to server Can you help me or can I accept all certificate Thanks! In my blog http://blogs.msdn.com/dgorti I have a sample of how to do this If the cert is expired, it is not a good idea to accept the cert.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What games or applications are allowed?

  Hellos I have a few questions regarding the content of the games: Is it allowed to put out advergames sponsored by 3rd party commmercial companies (Either games that feature sponsored splash screens in menu etc or even product placement in the game) Then what about adult content Like how much Blood, Gore, Drugs, Nudity is allowed Do games have to be politically correct cheers Nils How would they enforce it since distribution (at least at the start) is done outside of the 360 If the content were uploaded to MS servers for distribution it would be a different story, but I can't see any way to control what I email to someone so they can compile and run it on their 360. ...Show All

• Visual C++ linker cache?

  When compiling a project does the linker cache what librarys it found certian object in If so how do I reset this, I can not seem to get the linker to stop looking for a library that no longer exists. It looks to be like the VS2005 version of the PDSK got frozen around April of 2005. Probably around the time the first Beta shipped. Not unreasonble, I've seen breaking changes in the SDK before. Since then, it looks to me there's been quite a bit of work done on making it "really" compatible with 64-bit Windows. Sorry, I don't know anything about scripting support. Seeing it change in a recent SDK is encouraging though... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Why Is It So Difficult To Save and Load Form Text Boxes?

  I would appreciate any help someone could give me. I have searched this forum endlessly trying to find a way to save 60 or so text boxes on form1 to a file and then later read the information back into the same text boxes. It seems like I have tried every bit of sample code that I can find and nothing works. I have 5 books on VBE and VB5. I am a complete novice at this so please be gentle. Thanks in advance for any ideas/help. Glenn Well... I'll step out. You see, I think your intital approach is not that great and it's going to cause you problems and you will end up building a bi-plane. Why not take it a step at time. Break your problem up into small discrete steps. The first th ...Show All

• Community Chat any help for finding out CPU temperature? and RAM usage? in Dot net?

  any help for finding out CPU temperature and RAM usage in Dot net thx..   Yes there is a field for it. But if you read the documentation you will find that it actually does not supply any data. If you had bothered to even read it, you would have seen this: CurrentReading Data type: sint32 Access type: Read-only Qualifiers: Units ( Tenths of degrees centigrade ) Current value indicated by the sensor. This property is inherited from CIM_NumericSensor . Current implementations of WMI do not populate the CurrentReading property. The CurrentReading property's presence is reserved for future use.

• SQL Server Why select top 100 percent was disabled in SQL Server 2k5 views

  And how to get it work And by the way why Sql Server 2k5 became slower then 2k How to get to query planes in the management studio Unfortunately the side-effect of relying on undocumented behavior is the cost of changing the application later which can be enormous. The obvious solution is to understand the fundamentals of the language (SQL in this case) better so that it is easy to write robust code that doesn't make any assumptions. The Books Online documentation in SQL Server 2005 also does a fairly good job of explaining the behavior changes, highlight key aspects of the syntax or document certain behavior clearly. We did lot of work in the documentation to get the information out to customers and if you see that some topic ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'MSmerge_genhistory' with unique index 'unc1MSmerge_genhistory'

  I have 1 client who keeps running into the following error on the subscriber and merge agents > “Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'MSmerge_genhistory' with unique index 'unc1MSmerge_genhistory'.” Last time we got this error I ran a reindex on table MSmerge_genhistory on the publisher database, I then successfully generated a new snapshot and the subscribers started to synchronize again. This time around I keep getting the error even after I follow these steps (I also ran all the jobs to clean up replication). The last time I ran into this error I created a job to reindex msmerge_genhistory on a nightly bases in an effort to avoid this problem.
