• Visual Studio Tools for Office Infopath Automation

  Hello, Please accept my apologies if this post is in the wrong forum. I checked around and believe this is the correct place to post. If not please advise and i will promptly move. I am currently using an infopath solution for data collection. The forums contain a number of dropdown lists that need to be populated at run time. Unfortunately, a requirement exists that specifies that the infopath forms must function in a disconnected manner (not my idea!!). So that pretty much excludes all the sharepoint lists / webservice / dataset examples i have seen. I would like to know if it is possible to populate the infopath form controls using automation. IE: //Create an infopath application object //Open an infopath form / template //Obtain ...Show All

• SQL Server Slowly Changing Dimension "Wizard". Is it bobbins?

  On the face of it, the Slowly Changing Wizard seems a great idea, but is it really any good in the longer term After you have selected your Type 1 and/or Type 2 changing columns ... then you have "customised" the generated data flow and carefully saved it ... how do you change the column definitions in the future If I want to add another column and make it Type 2 how do I go about it If I run the "Wizard" doesn't this just destroy all my previous customisation work I have tried looking in the .dtsx xml file ... hmmm. I notice it's not really editable without some inside information. All those magic numbers in there ... I've fallen foul of them in the past with cut/paste or trying to INSERT a data flow task on ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS in Vista: is 'instant search' a part of WDS?

  In Vista os, is 'instant search' part of WDS (wds 3.0 ) How does this relate to the object SearchDesktopClass() (or does it ). Where can I find sample code, or a specific reference for using it in C++ or C# (if I have to), even html/javascript My thrust here is incorporating 'instant search' into a Vista targeted application. I haven't exactly found the answers wading through what I've found published. Thanks in advance. mike Mike, As you thought WDS 3.0 is used by Vista for Vista Search. There have been a number of changes to the API's and new information should be available next month which will detail the equivalent of ISearchDesktop. Please watch this forum for updates on that new ...Show All

• .NET Development public fields on a class that appear after serializable dictionary are not deserializing properly

  I have 3 classes called SerializableDictionary<TKey,TValue>, Parameter<T>, and Foo. SerializableDictionary is a serializable dictionary (code at very bottom) and the other 2 classes have the following abbreviated definition. Specifically, Parameter implements several unlisted interfaces that simply return Value. Foo also implements different unlisted interfaces that return the public fields. Foo also has additional public fields that are of type Parameter.

• SQL Server Text box Expression and Text

  I have an issue where I do the following with a text box "This account has" & "expression" & "in it" The "expression" is a stored procedure that generates a balance The problem I run into is I cant get the expression to show up as currency. I have even tried doing the currency format on the sql side, and it keeps showing the amount as a non currency amount. I have tried applying the the currency type to the text box, and still doesnt have an affect on the amount that shows up. It seems like there is rather a problem related to not encoding the double quote in the string: "is coded as " 00 ... Did you try this expression: ="*Of which" & Format(Sum(Fields!ID. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sound Recording or Automated Speach

  I want to create a program to train for Quiz Bowl. It allready has most of the logic in place for timing and stuff but I want it to ask the questions. I tried to find a library for the microsoft program Narrator but I couldn't. I think that the best way would be to have the program record the questions and save them in WAV files. They could be played back when needed. I need to, somehow in my program, identify a sound recording device like a microphone or webcam, start gathering data from it, and stop getting data from it on cue. If anyone knows how to do this in VB, your help would ge greatly appreciated. Thanks Actually, the speech sdk will say text (pass a string of words and it will say them), and play sounds. Oh yes ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installing C# Express Edition After VS2003/VS2005

  I waited till the last minute to install C# Express, but I wanted to point out that the download page is potentially confusing. Yes, it says beta versions must be uninstalled, but immediately following it says that any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, VS2005 need to be uninstalled. The good news is that it will install without issue, but I wanted to post this as a recommendation to change the text. Uninstall beta versions Before installing, you must uninstall any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0 (this includes Tech Preview, Beta, or CTP versions). It's pretty much automatic for me to uninstall any previous beta versions of anything. I guess once you're been doing i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista I don't think this is a Video Driver or Bios Problem.

  I'm having a problem with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit edtion on my HP laptop, when i close the lid but i have set up what windows does when i close the laptop to do nothing, but when i close the lid, and re open it, the screen is off/black, cant shutdown it properly and must do hard reboot.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX 10 Question...

  Hello, I am thinking about building myself a new computer. I plan on decking this whole thing out with the best parts I can afford. The thing I am worried about is DirectX 10. I am thinking about getting all the best available hardware except the graphics card and maybe just getting a mid range graphics card, then upgrading to a DX 10 compatible card when they come out. My question is if I buy a midrange card now and upgrade when DX10 is released, is there anything that points to having to replace my mobo too I know there are chipsets on the mobo that deals with the graphics card(s). Will these current chipsets be compatible and get me the most out of a DX10 card Thanks in advance for any information. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) need tips : translating xaml to c#

  Hi guys. are there any good guidance on converting xaml to c# actually, what i wanted is to understand xaml from coding perspective. thanks. Hi publicENEMY, Essentially, each XAML element represents a C# object.  In addition, each attribute on a XAML element represents a C# property.  Just as an example, I would recommend looking at a basic class such as the TextBlock class ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.textblock.aspx ) to get a feel for this. An overview of XAML can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752059.aspx If this answers your question, please select "Mark as Answer", if not, please post a follow up question an ...Show All
