• .NET Development convert any font into unicode

  hi forum How to convert any font into unicode Character in .Net . thanking you in advance You'll need to create a string using the right characters to use the glyphs in your font. Unfortunately, we in the Western world are blissfully unaware on how to do this. I suspect you need to use an IME to enter the string. Or use the Charmap.exe applet to find out what codepoints you need to use... ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Adding users

  Hi, I created a top level website using wss 3.0 Now I added two groups "Users" and "Admin" I'm adding the users from ADS.....problem I'm facing is that now I want to add a user in both the groups.....when I do this I have to first select a group and then add the user and then select second group and again add the same user to this group.... Cant I assign multiple groups at a single place for a user.... Thanks MK Out of the box you cannot add the user to multiple groups, but your user will have the highest rights available so unless you need to add them to the Users group for some specific reason (like Audiences) you can just add them to the Admin groups ( ...Show All

• Visual C++ Different behaviour of MainFrame with classic and XP styles!

  In my windows profile Windows Classic style is set. My application has no scroll control here. But when it is run on computers with XP style windows, it gets a big vertical scroll to move my View up/down. I really don't want no scrollbar on my application. First thing I did was to set FALSE parameter in View's InitInstance here:  GetParentFrame()->RecalcLayout(FALSE);  ResizeParentToFit(); ... but, it did nothing to remove my unwanted scroll! Then I tried this piece of code:  CRect r;  GetClientRect(r);  SetScaleToFitSize(CSize(r.right, r.bottom));   .. and that removes the scroll, but now left side of the mainframe is empty, and there is just about enough space left ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Auto-provision managed card from self issued card

  I was looking at the otto store and how they are issuing a managed card from a self issued card. I have looked at the "Creating Managed Cards" example (Thanks Garrett) and understand how to create a managed card based on the PPID of the self issued card. So the sequence would be something like: 1. User clicks on use CardSpace on the site 2. User selects a self issued card to send to the RP 3. The RP gets the token from the self issued card and decrypts/extracts the PPID (and maybe the UniqueID ). 4 Once the managed .crd file is created it is forwarded back to the CardSpace card selector of the client (this is the part I don't understand how to do) 5. The user is promted to import the managed card. (also do not k ...Show All

• Visual Basic Max form size

  is there a way to set a form to the max screen size, it gets old going back and forwards making sure it fits. I have been using table layout panels to help make my forms, if I am right, those do scale to the form, requardless of the size of the form, I think Davids Learning There are two quick and easy ways you can set the form's size to be the max screen size. You can either set it's WindowState property to Maximized either in the designer or in code, or you can set the form's Location and Size properties based on the primary screen on the system like so: Me .Location = Screen .PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Location Me .Size = Screen .PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Size Be sur ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to Initialize COM-Object and share it between WCF requests?

  Hi all! I created a WCF service, which I host in a windows service. In the methods of the service I create a COM object and use it to get data or modify it. But it takes a long time (2-3 seconds) to create the COM object with the 'new' operator. I don't want to do it for each method call. When I create it in a constructor, then the constructor is also executed for each request. How can I share a COM object between all WCF requests Kaan Ozturk Hi Kaan, You're correct that you can use a singleton service to share data across all requests. You just need to make sure the ServiceBehavior attribute on your service class has InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single. You can then initialize your ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems Creating Report

  Hi, I have only recently started playing around with Reporting Services (2005), and I am having some problems creating a basic report. What I want to display is a table which shows product names in the first column, sales for a specific period this year in the second column, and sales for the same period last year in the third column. The 'specific period' is determined by specifying a start week and an end week which I have set up as parameters. I have managed to produce the first 2 column with no trouble. However, for the third column I need to subtract 52 weeks from the parameters and use them as new parameter in the third column. Can anyone offer any suggestions Dave Some options: ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView RowValidating hangs/loops when e.Cancel = True

  It would seem a Mr "rohali" had something similar to this problem a few months ago and got only more questions. That thread does not really seem to have finished in any way. However I'll try again. A whole system hang with CPU=100% is not something easilly worked-around! I really need a fix.. I have a simple form with two controls - a DGV and an "Exit" button. The DGV is on a simple two field SQL table. Both fields in the database are mandatory and therefore I have a RowValidating routine to check that neither field is GetType(DBNull) before allowing the user out of the row.. Specifically, if I start a new row by typing anything into the first field in the last row of the DGV and then click someplace else in th ...Show All
