• Windows Live Developer Forums Java & Windows Live Mesenger Compatibiliy Issues with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

  Ok! I hope someone out there will be able to give me a hand with respect to this issue! I've recently changed from XP over to Vista Ultimate X64 and I have to say I'm starting to get over (and rather frustrated) with the whole "WOW" experience that is Windows Vista! The lack of drivers I can live with but problems with software built by Microsoft is a whole over ball game. Specifically, what my problem relates to is that in connecting up to WLM, the program only takes me as far as the contacts menu before it subsequently crashes with only a pop-up box stating that "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" whilst simultaneously attempting to obtain a solution of the internet which is consequently not forthcoming. In seeking to obtain ...Show All

• Visual C++ Winsock 10048 error

  I have a stress test application which spawns 100 threads and then communicates through TCP to a server on the same machine. The connection code looks like: bool CSockConnector::Connect( const CInetAddr &Addr, CSockStream &Socket) { Socket.SetSocket(socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)); if (Socket.GetSocket() == INVALID_SOCKET) { // printf("Cannot create socket: %d\n", WSAGetLastError()); return false ; } if (connect(Socket.GetSocket(), Addr.GetAddr(), Addr.GetSize()) != 0) { printf( "Connection error: %d\n" , WSAGetLastError()); return false ; } return true ; } As one can see the code is pretty clean. However I have the problem that some time ...Show All

• Commerce Server CSF and OrderDiscount

  Are CSF and OrderDiscount related or do they work together i.e. If CSF selects discounts then does OrderDiscount use this discounts only or OrderDiscount again fetches all discounts and evlaute them to apply Is there anyway where pipeline component before OrderDiscount selects the discounts to be applied and OrderDiscount only applies them Also, OrderDiscount documentation specifies about item_product* property.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dashed Line

  Hi together, Is it possible to draw a dashed line in WPF. I didn't find any option for doing this with the Line class.

• Windows Forms How is {Name} property handled in designer?

  I have some strange things happening with my controls concerning the Name property. I have a custom user controls in a custom forms designer. If I change the {Name} property of my user control through a Property Grid control, it doesn't call the set method of the UserControls Name property. The name is set, because the Property Grid recognizes the new name, but if I reference the controls overridden Name property , it still holds the old name. It is causing me major problems. It is really strange. Here is what I'm seeing. This method removes a control that I have from an internal array. It is called by the Change service when a component is removed. public void RemoveControlFromControlArray( DisplayObjBase dob) { ...Show All

• Architecture optimistic concurrency with daab 2.0

  is there any best practice to implement concurrency with daab 2.0 as i see it don't expose the rowchanged event, but returns rowsaffected. Shall I compare the ds.getchanges().count with rowaffected or there is something better out there I would like to return rows to the user for selecting if he wants servers or clients rows. Thanks Well, this is all that i have found. I will do it but with a set of rows instead of row by row.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Update Method Problem

  I'm struggling with a problem I am having with the update method when saving data that has been added to a datagridview. I have 2 forms. One form called Price_History that has a datagridview. The other form has several fields based on a different table and it is called Tracking_List. I have a button on the Tracking_List form that once fields have been entered, it saves the record and also sends data to the datagridview in the Price_History form. I have the following code on the Tracking_List form to save the data that was passed to the Price_History form: Dim newRecords As DataDataSet.Price_HistoryDataTable = CType (DataDataSet.Price_History.GetChanges_ (Data.DataRowState.Added), DataDataSet.Price_HistoryDataTable) Pri ...Show All

  Hello, I am just starting to work with the Team Foundation SDK and have added references to the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting Pixel Position to First Polygon Hit

  I'm looking for a straightforward way to identify the first polygon intercepted by a ray from the camera at a certain pixel position. For example, let's say the mouse is clicked at position 127,345: Supposing I have an List or other collection that contains a record of the polygons currently rendered, is there a recommended algorithm for identifying the first front-facing polygon intercepted by the ray (thus allowing the ability to identify the "object" that the user clicked on.) The best advice is to wait for the Content Pipeline to be shipped. One of their Model classes will almost certainly include this ability. In managed directx it was "Mesh.Intersect".
