• Windows Live Developer Forums Reports not being populated?

  Hi there, I have setup 2 campaigns through the GUI. Their status reads "submitted". Both contain orders who's status also reads "submitted". However there is no dummy click/impression data getting added each day. The data the campaigns was suppost to start on has passed Is there anything else I need to do to get them running Cheers, Justin. I'm assuming this is for the sandbox environment Unfortunately at this time, we are no longer able to support reporting in the Sandbox. We hope to resolve this issue soon, but it could take some time. A couple of months perhaps. In the meantime, I've posted sample report output on our developer blog: http://adcenterdev.spaces.live.com/ ...Show All

• SQL Server The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. ReportingService2005

  I have programmatically deploy SQL server Reporting Services 2005 reports via msi file. The installation was success, I was able to run the reports on localhost\Reports at the target machine. But I get error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." when I try to access it from the ASP.NET app report menu in the target machine. It is Windows Server 2003 standard edition, it uses Windows Authentication. I have tried setting any combination below and still doesn't work.

• Smart Device Development Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)

  I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts in your location). I really need to find out how to manage this out even with just a simple quord ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Odd issues with installing & registering Excel app level addin

  I'm trying to figure out an issue I'm having with deploying a VSTO SE, Office 2003, Excel, Application Level Addin. It's a bit odd. I followed the deployment steps outlined in a few walkthroughs, including setting up CAS. When I installed the add-in on a separate machines, it simply didn't load when Excel was loaded. I couldn't figure out why. In order to figure it out, I decided to test the installation on my development machine. So I uninstalled the setup package and manually removed the registry settings. This successfully removed the addin. I then tried installing the msi file from the setup project. Checked excel - the add-in didn't load. I then checked the registry, and the settings were indeed there. After doing this a coup ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Unable to compile Audio DSP Plugin in Vista

• Visual C# class inheritance and delegates

  In the book I'm reading for my MCTS 70-536 (ISBN-10: 0-7536-2277-9) it has a sample exam question about not extending one class and not getting the delegates with it. Is that true In other words, when you have A and it has an event declared in it, and you create B to extend A, shouldn't B get that delegate as well Thanks. PS Yes, I'm a noob, so please forgive the beginner question. Hi, In A if you have event declared with "private" or no-modifier then it will not be available in derived class B as its simply OOPs that cant access private members. But if you have event declared "protected" or "public" then it will be available in B, and the same is applica ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MSP (Microsoft Points) or $/￡s?

  I was just wondering if the XNA's Creators Club item on the Marketplace will be $99 worth of MSP or just $99 Thanks. (I'd assume it'd be MSP) Dollars/pounds/euros depending on where you are. It will be listed kind of like the xbox live account upgrade is now. So you don't need to buy 99 dollars worth of microsoft points then buy the creators club subscription. Not sure why that would ever have worked..... ...Show All

• Visual C# Porting RSA Public Key from Java to C#

  Hello Everyone! I'm trying to do the following: 1. Generate public/private keys in Java App 2. Send public key to .NET application 3. Encrypt password using public key and send back to Java App 4. Decrypt password in Java App and verify I have developed a test scenario where I am using java to generate and encrypt information, and using the java key in .net to just encrypt information. Checking if both encrypted texts match or not will be enough. What's happening currently is that when the java public key is sent to .NET (as a hard-coded 64string), the encrypted string generated by .NET is not the same as the one generated by Java. In the code below, [ i ] is replaced by !!! :@ Below is the java code............. ...Show All

• Architecture Data Transfer Objects and Lazy Load

  The intent of Data Transfer Object is to get all the data in one call instead of making several separate calls.This is especially true when working with remote interfaces. Then there is lazy load which talks about selective loading of objects as and when it is required. Now when I am applying both these concepts in my smart client application they contradict each other. I am trying to find a balance as to what would be considered a good candidate for lazy load. Since I have an entity which has reference to several other entities. I know that when i am getting data for a particular page I would not require all that is required for the entity and related entities, but would need to only on certain conditions or user clicks or tabs. So if i ...Show All
