• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint Email Messages

  Hi All, Can anyone tell me how/if I can change the default email message content when alerts etc are sent I’m assuming this is a sharepoint configuration but can’t find where the email message is defined.

• SQL Server Does the index exist after restore? (ie Does RESTORE destroy the indexes?)

  We performed re-indexing at beginning of month We had to restore from last night's backup and are seeing performance issues, so I am wondering if the clustered indexes are lost after the restore operation Do we need to re-index again in short, does BACKUP backups the indexes does RESTORE restore the indexes Hi Jerry, The BACKUP DATASE command will backup all database objects, including indexes, users, diagrams etc. that exist at the time the backup command is executed. So, in short BACKUP does backup indexes and RESTORE does restore indexes Cheers, Rob ...Show All

• Visual Basic Change F4 key function in DateTimePickers and Comboboxes

  When the DateTimePicker is the active control on a form, pressing the F4 key opens the calendar. Is there possibility to change this keys to F12 Well suppressing the F4 is easy, however having the DateTimePicker or Combobox open is still a mistery to me. A saw there are public events informing on the state, but I see no methods I can use to make it happen. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums The Driving Directions script does not work.

How can I manipulate the alert(routeinfo); script so that it does not appear in an alert, but something like the Mapquest layout ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA sprite behavior -- weird side effect

  Hello, I'm new to XNA as well as DirectX and am experiencing some weird side effects when drawing a sprite that I can't account for. I have a 3D ship that I can fly around using the Xbox360 controller (completed the XNA tutorials 1-3) and decided to see if I could implement pausing. Well, i got everything working how I want it and even made a 2d sprite that loads a texture asset and draws it to the screen when the player pauses (just a blue rectangle with the word "Paused..." written on it). That works great too, except by drawing the sprite to the screen my 3d model suddenly becomes semi-transparent! Even when the sprite is no longer being drawn the model remains semi-transparent until I restart the game. I am developing i ...Show All

  currently i use MSInsight as my cubes front end. its an asp page that users can build reports from cubes. its pretty old, and since ive started upgrading to AS2005, it doesnt work properly, leading me to think that it is not compatiable with AS2005 cubes. so im wondering, whats a good front end that can be used by many users this rules excel out, as i need a front end that can be used my many users.

• SQL Server Writing to Flat File (CSV) - Duplicate Headers

  I'm writing to a flat file destination (CSV file) which contains 2 header rows, lets call it Col1 and Col2. For some reason, the header rows seem to get duplicated in the output - i.e. Col1,Col2 A,B Col1,Col2 C,D Is there any way to resolve this I don't want the file to be overwritten everytime since its used for record-keeping purposes. Thanks this seems to be the result of your design; if you choose to write the header and to append to the file every time; you get what your seeing. A quick fix may be not to write the headers at all. A more elaborate one it may require to use expressions to change the properties of the destination file connection manager on such way the headers get ...Show All

• Visual Basic Front-end Framework

  Hi, I'm looking for a Front-end framework for .NET 2.0. Can you, guys, reccomend me something I want it: - fast - simple to use - good looking - feature-rich - The front-end will be loaded in run-time from some storage (XML file or so). It should work with the database through some kind of DataDictionary. - Also I need some scripting ability (like VB scripts to describe custom codes to update controls) If somebody has something in mind - let me know. And if your asking in this forum. I'd be creating the windows forms applications using Visual Basic.NET and if you want to do it for free - then I'd download a copy of VB Express from the microsoft web site. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I set ReceiveTimeout for a callback channel?

  The title pretty much says it all. I've noticed that even though I can set the timeout on my duplex named pipe service (which prevents my session from ending), the callback channel doesn't use the same value and times out after the default of 2 minutes. Is this something I have to set on the client, and if so, how Thanks, Aaron If I manually create a ServiceHost in my client for the callback channel and then pass this ServiceHost along to the InstanceContext, then I can configure the ReceiveTimeout since I have control over the ServiceHost. Is this the only way If so, that sure makes everything more complex since I'll have to do this for everything -- none of my callbacks are guaranteed to survive under ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView automatically selects first row after 60 seconds of inactivity

  I posted this problem earlier, but did not get a response, so thought I'd re-word it... my DataGridView automatically selects first row after 60 seconds of inactivity. That is, if it is bound to a given datasource, and user selects row 3, and then does nothing for 60 seconds, the selected row automatically shifts back to row 1. I need to find out what is causing this- it is wreaking havoc on an otherwise functional app! Sincerely stumped, -Yarin ...Show All
