• Software Development for Windows Vista Error 0x8004D00E on SQL Server 2000 + Windows 2000 SP4

  We have an ASP.NET application running on Windows Server 2003 whose database backend lives in a different machine which runs SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000 Server SP4. Whenever we try to use System.Transactions we get errors. We are almost sure that the problem is related to MSDTC refusing network connections. We tried to run the same thing using Windows Server 2003 in the backend server, and we were able to make it work by configuring MSDTC security using the COM+ console. However, we still need to support Windows 2000 for the backend. There is apparently no GUI for MSDTC security on Windows 2000, and the registry settings we have tried so far did not work. We think this should be a very common issue, but we have ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Privateprofile access win.ini as filename hung app

  I have found that when using pathname\win.ini as the filename for use with private profilefunctions that this will not work correctly in vista. Vista reports a hung app message. If the filename is changed to something else such as pathname\setup.ini, the same code works exactly as expected. This fault was found in vista beta 2, and then again when tested on release version of vista. When it's changed to setup.ini, does it elevate The reason I ask, for example is the Calculator in Windows XP. If the view is changed from “Standard” to “Scientific”, calc.exe calls WriteProfile API to write into windows\win.ini, which is only writable by administrator users. Are you doing similar functionality ...Show All

• Visual Basic Generics, Collections, and Inheritance...

  I have an inheritance model as follows: Public MustInherit Class ProviderBase End Class This is because the fact that ProviderType1Base inherits from ProviderBase does not make a List of ProviderType1Base to inherit from a List of ProviderBase. These 2 list types are completly unrelated. There is not much to do here other than passing a List of ProviderBase as a parameter instead of a List of ProviderType1Base. It's quite typical when you need to deal with cases like this to use (almost) everywhere List of SomeBaseType. ...Show All

• Visual C# Property Storage

  Is there a component or method to store for position and the size of a Windows Form and other controls Developer Express had a nice component that would allow you to store and retrieve this kind of info for any component, any property.

• Visual Studio Team System Using a rule to show code metrics

  Hi, I'm trying to use a custom rule to calculate and then output certain basic code metrics. For example, count the number of interfaces, classes, how many abstract classes etc.. I have worked out how to gather all the metrics I'm after, what I can't fathom is how to generate a single lne output at the end of analysis. I tried adding my 'fake' problem within an override of AfterAnalysis but this doesn't work - it is not displayed as output. I realise in this case I am not really using the tool as intended - but is there a way of wrapping up the results of several Check()s in to a single 'problem' Tim, If these metrics are measured against an assembly, then simply override the Check(Module) ...Show All
