• Software Development for Windows Vista Interoperability with Sun/Oracle/Fujitsu WS-CAF (Composite application Framework)

  Hi, Can someone tell me if there are still two standards emerging, diverging or converging in the Web Services transaction space A year or so ago, I was reading about Oracle's and Sun's Composite Application Framework as a rival to what Microsoft, Bea and IBM were doing. Is this still the case Is there a winner/loser or hybrid emerging Is it a case of Java and .NET demarcation flowing through I am specifically interested in the WS-AT subset of transactions so feel free (in fact please do) confine your answer(s) to this realm. Heuristic txn resolution is anathema to me (and by the looks msdtc) but Oracle/Sun (and curiously IBM) seem to live for it! They got "heuristic hazard" all over the place and are quite happy if a ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamic Query using Multi-Value Parameters

  I am having problems using multi-value parameters within dynamic queries. For e.g. I have a parameter YR which can have more than one yr values : 2003, 2004, .... In my where Clause I have Where yr IN (Parameters!Yr.Value), this gives me an error, however if I give an index lets say Parameters!Yr.Value(0) then it returns the correct report for that year in the above example for 2003, however I need to include all the years not just 1. How can this be achieved Please Help! Thanks, Hi MJ, Use the Join method. = Join(Parameters!MySelection.Value) ...Show All

• Visual C++ Exception handling

  I have following observations: 1) Using VC++ 2005, write a C++ code that divides a value by zero. Put this code in try catch block. The catch block is unable to catch the exception. On the other hand, if the same code is written in C#, the exception is caught in the catch block. 2) To futher add to it, VC++ 6.0 is able to catch the same exception which VC++ 2005 cannot, although in the catch(...) block and not the catch(std::exception) block. 3) Other exceptions like index out of bounds are also not caught by catch block in VC++ 2005 while the same is possible in VC#. My questions are: Why the behaviour of VC++ has changed over different versions and how can one catch such exceptions What makes behaviour in VC# different ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Best coding practises with ContentManager and GraphicsDeviceManager ?

  I hope someone can give me a decent explanation of this as it's something which I would of thought is pretty essential to writing anything in GSE but makes no mention of it in the documentation. I'm trying to understand the best way for any game elements to access the main games graphics and device, these need to be written in a way that I can give this routine to someone else and they work without the other person having to hard code aynthing in the code I give them. I believe there may of been a more obvious way to do this in beta 1 but I picked things up from beta 2 so some of the examples and documentation is referencing things which have since been taking out. My main confusion comes from the differences in the Windows Game and Spacew ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2 & Outlook 2007 Can't Index

  I have never been able to get the indexing to work in Outlook 2007 that is connecting to my Exchange server. I started with the WDS 3.0Beta Preview before Beta 2 was released and had no luck. Now that WDS Beta 2 is out I removed the previous version and installed Beta 2. Tried to force the index to run by rebuilding it and still couldn't get search to work for any exchange mail. Waited a couple of day's thinking it may just need time, still no luck. It has indexed the mailbox that is setup for my personal mail (POP3) which is a .PST file. When I go to the indexing options and click on Outlook and then click modify I get the following pop up. --------------------------- Microsoft Outlook Offline Folders --------------------------- Th ...Show All

  Is their an application, not written in .NET that i can use to write a system to check for the correct version of the .NET Framework, and if its not installed start the .NET Framework installer, then once thats done or it it already exists run my installer which i have written in .NET to install my .NET application. sure. you could check the registry and to see if the appropriate directories have been created for the .NET Framework but still it does not mean that its installed or working since the user could modify any one of those points mentioned.

• Visual C# TabControl MouseHover!

  hi everybody, How can I know which tabpage I'm on when I move the mouse please! Fahd, at a glance, the solution outlined by kode monkey should work. As far as I know, GetTabRect is the only way you have to detect the tab. Try this simplified version (which also selects the tab for you): private void tabControl1_MouseMove ( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { for ( int i = 0; i < tabControl1.TabCount; i++) { if (tabControl1.GetTabRect (i).Contains (e.Location)) { if (tabControl1.SelectedIndex != i) tabControl1.SelectTab (i); break ; } } } HTH --mc ...Show All

• SQL Server Create Table from Row Data

  Hello, In SQL Server 2000, is it possible to take a table with one field (column), and pivot the table so that the characters in the row data become the field (column) names of another table ( or in a View) The number of records could vary. If so, how would I do this Sample table; Create Table dbo.MonthlyData ( Categories varchar(30) NOT NULL ) Sample data; Sales Volume 2005-02 TotRefVol 2005-02 Sales Ratio 2005-02 Sales Volume 2005-03 TotRefVol 2005-03 Sales Ratio 2005-03 Sales Volume 2005-04 TotRefVol 2005-04 Sales Ratio 2005-04 I realized I didn't answer the first part of your question.
