• Software Development for Windows Vista creating desktop on vista and launch IE on it

  Hi, All I run into some issue with creating a new desktop on windows vista: If I create a 2nd desktop using CreateDesktop (with NULL for security attributes), and launch an IE using CreateProcess() on the 2nd desktop from default desktop, it will be created with medium integrity level and a pop up on the 2nd desktop mentioning that Admin rights is required w/o real IE displayed. However, launch an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop directly is OK(and in low integriy level). Then I tried launching an IE using CreateProcess() on default desktop from 2nd desktop instead, it works fine with an IE with low integrity level appeared on default desktop. So, how can I enable same behavior on 2nd desktop as the default one - IE c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Populating a Dataset from an SQL Database

  I am using VB 2005 Express Edition! Also - this is my first attempty at accessing an SQL database, so I acknowledge that I have probably done something very silly but at this stage I am stumped and need some help. As a reference on how to do this, I used KB Article 301216. I have basically copied exactly what was shown in the article changing names to suit my requirements and have come up with the following code :- Dim connection As New SqlConnection(ConnectionString) connection.Open() Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter ReadString = "SELECT * FROM configuration" adapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand(ReadString, connection) Dim DSetCONFIGURATION As New DataSet( "CONFIGURATION&qu ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can I use System.TransactionScope in windows mobile 5.0 ?

  Can I use System.TransactionScope in windows mobile 5.0 When I put these line and compile My application I get the following error The type or namespace name 'TransactionScope' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference ) using(TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) { scope.Complete(); } This one is not available on NETCF. If you run into situation like this again, you can check if particular class/method/event/property is supported by looking it up on MSDN. On the bottom of a page there’s version support information stating which version you’d need to use it.

• Visual Studio Unmovable Controls in ASP / VS2005-Sp1

  I am moving a project from VS2003 to VS2005. I created a new Web Site from scratch under 2005 and brought over the ASP pages etc from the 2003 solution. The Web Site runs fine under 2005 but I can not add any new controls to any of the pages. I can put a new control, i.e. textbox on the page but it can not be moved from the upper lefthand corner of the page. What magic property of the Web Site controls this Thanks Al Although this is not the correct forum to ask this question I can tell you that that's is one of the changes between VS.NET 2003 and VS 2005. http://www.mikepope.com/blog/DisplayBlog.aspx permalink=1367 ...Show All

• Visual C# best obfuscator

  What is the best obfuscator out there each one of them claims to be better than the others. So which one to choose from Hi I use Eziriz's .Net Reactor. Of course as you said they all claim that they're the best, but beside it's power and simplicity of use, Reactor is really cheap (Only about 160$) so it's not a big risk to test it; although I would advise you to use it for everything of it, not only the price. You can download the trial here: http://www.eziriz.com HTH cheers, farshad ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectInput ConfigureDevices in Windows Vista

  Hello, in Windows Vista (RC2) IDirectInput8.ConfigureDevices() simply doesn't work. This function is used to bring up the generic key/joystick mapping UI introduced by DX8. The return value is "the device is not registered with directinput". We use it in one of our titles because it does the job really well and writing our own mapper looks really unnecesarry. We've also tried DirectInput samples from DX9 SDK and this function fails on all samples that use it - they work normally under Windows XP. Is this a Vista feature or a bug I would be really thankful for any information on that. It would also be of help if you try the samples "ActionBasic", "ActionMapper" or "Multimapper" and try to bri ...Show All

• Visual Basic XML or a database?

  I'm creating a program that basically parses textfiles and stores them into a database for easier manipulation (so I can run queries on a DB instead of parsing/comparing/etc raw text on-the-fly) Currently I am using an Access database to store everything, but now that I realize .NET has such great XML support, I figure this may be a better option.  I'm thinking of storing each file into its own XML file then loading the selected file into a dataset and pulling info from it.  This is basically what I'm doing now, but instead of XML, it's the Access db. Does anyone have any advice on which method is better  EDIT: Wow, I forgot to mention something important.  What I wanted to know is, how do I han ...Show All

• SQL Server Recovering from Deadlocks: retrying the query

  I'm having some deadlocking issues in my ASP.Net 2.0 web application with SQL Server 2000. One solution I've come across involves catching the the deadlock error (at the application level) and then retrying the query again, in the hopes that whatever was causing the deadlock is no longer locked. I've tried to implement such a solution, where I catch the deadlock exception, then try to execute the same query again. Only now I'm getting a "The transaction is in doubt" exception. So am I going about this wrong Am I supposed to retry the entire transaction, or is valid to just try to redo the one query that it failed on Is there some way around the transaction being in doubt You should determi ...Show All
