• Windows Live Developer Forums Polyline disappears on zooming in too far

  I wonder why a polyline being displayed on a map disappears when zooming in. Up to a certain zoom level - this level varies from polyline to polyline - there are no problems but suddenly the mentioned effect of the disappearing line happens. Zooming out let the polyline appear again. Is there any way to prevent the polyline to disappear Thanx for any advice! Heres the corresponding javascript code which is asynchrounously called by PHP: var Punkte = new Array(); function setPolyline(id,lat,lon) { var punkt = new VELatLong(lat,lon); Punkte[id] = punkt; } function drawline() { var mypoly = new VEPolyline('poly1', Punkte, new VEColor(255,0,0,1.0), 5); map.AddP ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista link errors trying to build AMCAP sample

  I'm trying to build the AMCAP sample in the Server 2003 R2 SDK, I think this is the latest relevant direct show release. The complier i'm using is the VC Toolkit 2003. Just using nmake from a command prompt I get the sample to compile ok, although I did have to add some headers (include/atl and include/mfc) to the environment. When nmake tries to link it reports atlthunk.lib as missing, and for sure it does not exist on my hard disc. I had to build the baseclasses lib first, so I also searched my HD for any file with thunk in the name, and there are 3 thunk32.libs and some assembler files for atl21somehting. What do i need to do to build the AMCAP sample Where can I get hold of atlthunk.lib Ma ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista HELP! Output to analog video device

  Hi All I'm trying to write a simple VJ (Video Jockey, *NOT* Visual Java ) Application to run on any PC equipped with an Analog Video Capture Card. This Card (and many others) has a Composite Video Output (physical) pin, which means it can output NTSC analog video to a standard TV monitor, projector, etc... I've been through the DirectShow Documentation for a while now, I bought the book from Mark D. Pesce (quite good), looking for the means to write a digital video stream (from an avi, mpeg file, whatsoever) into this Video Card. Essentially, what I want to achieve is the OPPOSITE of Analog Video Capture. But I'm overwhealmed (wrong spell ) at the HUGE amount of filters, video renderers, interfaces, alternatives, etc. offered by Dire ...Show All

• SQL Server drilldown group expanded by default

  Hello!!

• SQL Server Conditional Split Question

  I have a package which has a conditional task which directs rows to its respective OLEDB command. The records are sorted from the source system in chronological order. The problem I am experiencing is that some of the operations do not seem to be occurring in the same order. An example of this would be someone inserts a record, deletes the record and reinserts in the record in that order. When we run the package we can see the records are coming down in chronological order but the delete from the split seems to occur after the inserts. Has anyone else experienced this Is there anything I might be missing to ensure things happen in the order they should Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook Addin Deployment Strategy

  We're writing a ClickOnce smart client app, which will have an Outlook addin component. The publish mechanism will maintain the smart client app. We're looking for the best Outlook addin deployment strategy to complement ClickOnce. We want to maintain the addin seamlessly. The problem I'm seeing is that the addin "Publish" option does not handle registry entries or CAS. There's a theory that we can bundle deployment-aware publish manifests into a setup project. Then the setup would make the initiail registry and CAS entries, while the manifest system would maintain the code from that point forward. But this seems limited to only those upgrades that don't require registry or CAS changes. So, if you make a change that affects ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy error: User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent

  I am wondering if anyone has run into this error when trying to deploy a Database to server environment not locally. User does not have permission to run DBCC auditevent I have tried cutting out permissions, users, even everything but the table objects and nothing has worked. If anyone can give any insight into this error I would appreciate the help. Yes, if you have different users in the project vs. the target we will always script out the differences in users, roles, etc. Permissions will always be in the permissions.sql post-deploy script and will simply be those that were imported initially. Sounds like you found the correct work-around to take care of your situation. ...Show All

• Architecture Query on Entity Design

  There are times when one might have to load 2 entities out of which only few fields might be required from the second entity in that particular screen. For example I could have a customer entity and an order entity. In an order capture screen I would require the order entity and few fields of the customer entity say name, address.. So the question is for a few fields of customer entity does it make sense to load the entire entity.. This would make even more cause of concern if the corresponding entity has many child entity collections in it. For example one customer would have multiple address, contact numbers and so on. I presonally feel that no matter who little or more one uses the entity, the entire entity needs to be loaded because ...Show All

• SQL Server Scripting the SQL db along with data

  i'm working on sql 2000. I would like to take the db script and also have the data of static tables. so that If i run the script, at once it should create my db and also fill my static tables data. plz help me.urgent. When you script a table you are basically just rebuilding the structure. You can copy the table and data with ex: use database select * into table2 from table1 This will not recreate PK or FK you could also look into a backup, or if you are moving between servers an export / import I don't know exactly what you are trying to do with this. Also maybe detach the database copy it where ever and attach it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System RC to RTM reports upgrade problem

  The upgrade of TFS to the RTM version went fine until I reached step #8 under the "Upload Default Reports..." section. I'm a little confused on how to upload the reports. I did the download for both the Agile and CMMI templates in Team Explorer but then step #8 -12 say: Hey John, Step 8 is about downloading the process template from your TFS server since it carries the reports. Using the Process template manager, say you downloaded the Agile process template to a directory "C:\TFS", you'd find a new folder there called "MSF for Agile .." In Step 11, you'd use the path to this directory, so your command would be TFSUploadReports /s <yourtfsservername> /p <yourprojectname> /t "C:\ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Drag and drop between VB 6 app and VB.NET app

  My client is using a migration approach whereby they are only migrating small pieces of the application at one time - using COM interop to handle the integration until all of the pieces are migrated. One of the pieces that has been migrated needs to be able to drag and drop onto a form containing a VB 6 User Control that is using OLEDragDrop internally. Is there any way to get the drag and drop to work between VB 6 and .NET Thanks! Since there are quite a few people who have reviewed this topic - I thought it worthwhile to post that this actually DID work. We have successfully implemented drag and drop between a VB6 control and a .NET form. We just needed to change the data format to be strai ...Show All
