• Windows Forms Publish error.

  Following error happens once in a while, could someone tell me why it is happening Error 68 Publish failed with the following error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Development\Test\Test\Source\Shell\bin\Release\Test.publish\Test_1_0_0_9'. Thanks in advance. I would like to know that answer as well. I believe I have only seen this issue when I clicked publish and something failed, such as the build failed. I would guess there is an orphaned app manifest file/publish directory for that revision number that is created. And when you go to publish again using that same build/revision number, it can't successfully overwrite it, or there is some validation that fails. The next time it happens, try and delete the files it c ...Show All

• Visual C++ getting SMTP server address

  i am writing an application in which it sends mail when user acknowledges something.. to make it more general.. i need to get smtp server address, but not from user.. is there any program i can write to query smtp mail address and then send mail let me know. Given an email address, for example me@somewhere.com , you can perform a DNS lookup to retrieve the MX record for the domain 'somewhere.com'. The DNS response will return the IP addresses of one or more SMTP mail servers that will accept mail for the domain. Applications like Outlook do not perform DNS MX lookups. They expect to be configured with a known SMTP server address to which it will direct all email - for example an SMTP server address supplied ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreach endless loop

  I'm having a problem where I'm using a Execute SQL Task to retrieve a dataset and storing that in an object variable. Then on success of that execute sql task I use a foreach loop task to go through the dataset and do 2 tasks inside the foreach loop. When I execute this package I have ~12 records in the dataset however when I get to the foreach loop in the 2nd iteration it keeps repeating it. It acts like it is stuck on the second record (tuple) and never goes on. I'm using an ForEach ADO Enumerator in the foreach. I've even set a breakpoint on each iteration and no task fails in side the foreach loop. I'm completely perplexed why it will iterate to the 2nd record but get stuck there in an endless loop. I've tried this on 2 different compu ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums spatial queries

  Is there a way with the latest release of Virtual Earth to perform spatial queries For example I want to know if a point from my database (like an address) is within a polygon I defined or list all points inside a polygon area... or list all addresses 3 miles from a point.
