• Community Chat Secure Data Organizer - A Free Password Manager Written in .NET 2.0

  Hi all, I've been working in .NET ever since the pre-RTM 1.0 release for my Master's Thesis. I continue to code in many languages but have been working on a pet project on the side called Secure Data Organizer. This is a free program that marks the culmination of several years of design and effort .It is a Password Manager but was designed to be the best one out there. Ease of use (even at the expense of developer pain) was a driving development principle, as was native and intuitive GUI, human-readable XML file format, and public disclosure of encryption algorithms and techniques. I released it as freeware to the web back in late November. Since then, we've grown to over 1,300 registered users--a nice starting userbase! Our big b ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies What happened to my toolbar when I installed WDS 3.0 Beta 2?

  Sorry, I'm an ignorant newbie. I used to have the windows desktop search toolbar in outlook and on my taskbar. I just installed WDS 3.0 Beta 2 and my Outlook toolbar disappeared. Why Is there any document that explains the difference between WDS, the MSN toolbar, the Windows Live toolbar, and all the other inter-related beta products for searching outlook and desktop files nosajeel - You aren't an ignorant newbie. This is a pretty confusing situation and there isn't much documentation out there. I assume that you were using WDS 2.5 (the version that came with the MSN toolbar) before. When you installed WDS 3.0 it uninstalled WDS and the MSN toolbar. You can get the same toolbar functionali ...Show All

• SQL Server Time dimension limits kills performance

  Hi, I have a cube with a fiscal time dimension like that: Year = 2005, 2006, 2007 Quarter = 20051, 20052, 20053 Then months and weeks using format like 200501, 200502 etc. Cube is partitioned by quarters, 12 partitions in total. Now what puzzles me is this: - When I query this from an Excel pivot and set no limit on the time dimension so I get something like total 2005, 2006 by quarters and 2007 by weeks, the query processes in a few miliseconds - When I query this from an Excel pivot and exclude something from the time dimension so I would get only 2006 and 2007, the query now takes up to 30 minutes. The code generated by Excel is much different between the 2 situations however, since the cube is partitioned by ...Show All

• Visual Studio disappearing controls ( VS 2005 SP1 with Vista Hotfix )

  Hi there, I am using VS 2005 SP1 with the Vista Beta hotfix. I am running Vista Business RTM version. I have created a form with a tabcontrol on it. I have added multiple pages and some controls on each page. I have saved the project, exited and then reloaded, some of the controls have disappeared. For instance 2 lables and textboxes disappeared. I can find them in the controls list but they do not show up visually on the form. No matter what I do they do not display, unless I delete them and then recreate them. This has happened with other controls as well (toolstripbutton). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Garth.

• Visual C# How do you define a method with optional/default parameter?

  Thanks   JRQ wrote: Also just for regular programming, it will be nice to know if optional/default parameter is doable in C#. Look at the missing type 1 to invoke default parameters as found in COM from either C# and VB....if that is what your question relates too... Other than that, you can give the appearance of default parameter by method overloading. void DoIt( int myValue) { DoIt(myValue, true ); } // Acts as default paramter. void DoIt(int myValue, bool Operation) { ... }   ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where is the storyboard's target

  Hi, I have an animation running through a storyboard. I want to stop the animation in some CurrentTimeInvalidated callback. Looking in the debugger, I see that when the animation runs through a storyboard, its clock controller is null. Therefore, I can't stop it through the clock.controller.stop() interface. However, the storyboard is accessible as (Storyboard)clock.parent.timeline, so I can use it for either seek() or stop(). These functions require a frameworkelement, which should be the same one that I passed to storyboard.begin(). Where do I find this element, short of keeping a reference in some private data structure I didn't find it in the animationtimeline, animationclock or storyboard. The ClockController is null until you s ...Show All

• SQL Server How to divide a row data to multiple row in one table by SSIS?

  Hi, Experts, I have a data table from a old system. There are 10 data fields stored in one row at this table. How can I seperate those fields into another table to be 10 rows Any component in Data Flow can I use (I have tried several component...) by the way, the original table is a large table, contain 3,000,000 rows. Thanks for your all assistance. If the Unpivot and Multicast options do not work for you then you could probably just do this in a custom or script component. Not sure why you think 30 million rows is too large, if that is the number of rows you should have then why it ian issue I don't get what you are trying to do. If you are still struggling with this then could you write som ...Show All
