• Visual J# Two embedded resources, one is multi-language java resources

  Hi; I need to have two .NET embedded resources in my dll. One is a resx file created by vjsresgen and includes java resource files for 22 different locales. The problem is that when I run in the locale Spanish Mexico (I have resources_es.properties but not resources_es_mx.properties) I get an exception on calling ResourceBundle .getBundle( "resources" ); I must have both embedded resources. How can I make this work thanks - dave Hi Dave, I am aware of the bug and we had provided a workaround for this issue at that time. The workaround was: Move the xml file to a resx file and then consume it. Hope this helps. Regards, Ritesh. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with querry performance locally vs. network

  Hi, I work on speed-up our company SQL Server 2000. I reconstructed one querry and test it on client computer (other than server). There was no profit. I was surprised :(. I supposed several times speed-up. Next I run old and new querry directly on our SQL Server machine. The result was proper - new (after modifications) querry takes 2,5 times less time than previous. Ok, question: why there wasn't profit of modification from client computer I thougth that reason is slow network. So I copy from client computer file of weight 80MB to server. This takes 10seconds. Result of my querry is 35MB and it takes 17 seconds on client computer and 6 seconds directly from server. Best regards, Walter Luszczyk ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating Schema Changes

  Hi there, I'm using Sql 2005 merge replication and I have noticed something, I'm not sure if this is true or not:... My publication is set to replicate schema changes (replicate_ddl = 1). Now, I have noticed that schema changes are only replicated if the current snapshot is valid. Is this right If so why My next question carries on from the first. If I'm about to run a TSQL script on my publisher that will add a column or two to a published table, how do I ensure my snapshot is valid inorder for the ddl changes to be replcated Should I be using: EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn @publication = <publicationname> , @article = <article name> , @force_invalidate_snapshot = 1 , @force_reinit_subscriptio ...Show All

  Hi, I need the functionality of three-state workflow, specifically I need the ability to complete the task in 2 ways: edit the workflow task or to change the status of the workflow item (and then automatically task is completed). My item is the doc and it has choice column 'status', I want : when user changes the status - the task is comleted automatically. This functionality is providen by tree-state workflow.

• Visual C++ How to Port MFC to .NET; from VC6 C++ to Managed C++ and/or C# .NET

  Can someone point me to information on how to port and/or reuse a portion of a huge MFC app to C# .NET managed and/or C++ .NET managed code. Willing to rewrite most of the user interface, but need to preserve/modify existing code that is based on 50+ classes derived from MFC's CObject.  I need the "Serialize" portions of CObject so that my existing data files can be read into the ported app, or so I can create a conversion app. I already have everything compiling and running in VS.NET C++ 2003 using MFC.  But this is not a Managed code app, and C# can't talk to it in an interop kind of way.  Further, it can't use 3rd party .NET Controls such as those from Infragistics and no other developers here can work on i ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Loading Multiple objects from one FBX mesh causes translation/rotation problem

  I've been trying to create a whole scene in 3DSMAX and then import the scene in one FBX file with the content pipeline. Say my seen includes only two objects a cube and a pyramid placed on of the cube. Now when I load the objects with the content pipeline the triangles position has been moved to an initial position of (0,0,0) which is no-longer on top of the cube, but is now placed w/in the cube. Now I know I could perform a boolean join in 3DS Max on the 2 objects and then they would load into the content pipeline properly... but then I would lose the ability to operate on each object independently... I could also load each object seperately and then move and rotate the object as needed.... but this method really isn't feasible for scenes ...Show All

  I've developed webservices in visual studio and they work fine under the VS webserver. I'm trying to deploy these onto my local IIS server.

• Visual Studio Team System Description of WorkItems

  How can I create a report containing descriptions of scenario work items of some given Team project The single work items table containing Team Project ID I could find is "Work Item History" from TfsWarehouse and the single table containing descriptions I could find is WorkItemLongTexts from TfsWorkItemTracking. But it is impossible to create a report based on two Datasources, isn't it I have a feeling I miss some very easy possibility. Because getting descriptions of the project's scenario work items (for example to send them to the customer as pdf) is THE typical use case for scenario work items... It can't be so hard... Some pre-made Excel-Based reports like "Scenarios.xls" can get any column of workitems ( ...Show All

• .NET Development TraceSource and IndentLevels...

  I know I HAVE TO BE wrong here, unless Microsoft is continuing their well established and entrenched pattern of developing something 98% of the way, and then leaving some highly prized and desired stuff in that last 2% that they never complete. TraceSource is SUPPOSED to be an UPGRADE of the Trace class as far as I can tell, yet for the reason just explained it sure appears that Microsoft.Programmers.HateEndUsers pulled the same stunt. Where on Earth is Indent and UnIndent. That has to be one of the coolest features in the whole tracing architecture, yet it's mysteriously missing from TraceSource. How am I supposed to duplicate that now if I use TraceSource instead of Trace Please tell me I'm wrong and Microsoft isn't really t ...Show All

• .NET Development how to know event is added or not

  Hi, I m adding event runtime like Text1.Validating += new CancelEventHandler(Text1_Validating); how would i know whether this event is added or not on basis of that if want to add some code in else if that event is not added. tats There should never be a case where your event handler would not be added. Delegates (events) just keep track of who to call. In the very unlikely case that a delegate could not add your handler then they are expected to throw an exception. I have never seen a case where this would or could occur though. Therefore it is a safe assumption to say that the call would never fail (assuming that Text1 is valid of course).

• Visual Basic Any easy way to print a "large" form?

  I've got a VB application that has a number of 1280x1024 forms. I'd like to be able to implement a "print screen" function. I tried the PrintForm Power Pack, (Form.Print), but I only get about 80% of the form, so the form must be too big for a single page (other threads say this is all PrintForm can handle). If I capture the form (via Print Screen), and suck it into Paint, it also is 2 pages, but there is a print option to scale it to 1 page, which worked. So, is there any simple way to make this work And, no, the printer won't take 11x17 paper! thanks...   Hi,  I was going to suggest the PrintScreen & MS_Paint method so if you find a way to automate those actions then let m ...Show All

• Windows Forms That cool buttonin Windows media player 11

  Hi All! You know that cool blue sphere "play" button , and it glows when you have a mouse go over it. How do you do that ! Thanks! Rudy Thanks alot guys! I'll give it a shot. I have another question related to this one, haven't been able to find an answer yet. I have a button that is oval, I created it in photoshop. I save it as a gif. I set the background to transperancy. So the button looks great, but when the mouse goes over the button or click on it, you see the box shape of the button, and a the colored background.

• Software Development for Windows Vista XAML Based WF Linked to Assembly

  I am trying to set up an XAML based workflow where all of the activities are either common activites or defined in a custom assembly. I am loading the xoml file at runtime using an XMLReader to load the xoml file, then calling CreateWorkflow with the XMLReader. After working with this a bit I was finally able to get the workflow to load correctly. The workflow starts with a While Activity. The While activity calls a member of my custom SequentialWorkflowActivity class named 'ContinueLooping'. 'ContinueLooping' sets args.Result = true; This should result in a continuous loop, however, the workflow always completes right away. If I put a message box in the 'ContinueLooping', I never see the message box. If I change the name of the 'ContinueL ...Show All
