• Visual Studio Team System TFS Setup 28100 Error Message

  Hi everyone, I am trying to install Team Foundation Server on a Windows 2003 server and just before it finishes I get this error: Error 28100. Error loading event webservice.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Page.Show() ???

  I would like to know how to do the equivalent of Window.Show() method with a Page for a browser app (i.e. pop up a new window). I can't seem to find any documentation on this. Thanks in advance! You cannot show new top-level windows from within a browser app. The security sandbox does not allow this. Besides, you navigate to a Page. In a standalone app, you can create a NavigationWindow object and Navigate() to your Page object or Uri. Look at the Window management and Navigation articles in the WPF SDK. You might want to try using a Popup or other solutions discussed in this thread . ...Show All

• .NET Development Imaginary numbers in VB.Net

  I am just wondering how Visual Basic.Net deals with complex number. Also, I need to write some code that, if given a complex number, will only take the real part and ignore the imaginary part. Thanks for any suggestions. I am using Visual Studio 2003 and none of the search returns really seem to help. They seem to be declaring complex numbers simply as DoubleComplex which is not an option in my version. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creator's Club Licensing Query

  If I get a Creator's Club subscription on a 360 under my gamertag, and then log it onto a different 360, will I still be able to use it on the second 360 I know that this would work for arcade games and whatever (you get a license for the 360 you bought it on, and for the gamertag that purchased it), but I can't find any proper confirmation either way about CC subscriptions in the FAQs, and only conflicting stuff in the forums, so any help would be nice. Thanks, David. Yes, Your subscription is tied to your gamertag so if you take it to another console you can run the XNA Game Launcher. That said, you will need to download a new copy of the XNA Game Launcher on the console as you cannot move the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to handle instance state of old version workflow?

  Hi, every one. We are trying to use state workflow to handle our sales order process. We create a new instance of the workflow for each new order as the new order is created.  As order is approved/shipping/closed, workflow instance handle it’s state. This works perfect. But when user changes the workflow definition, the old instance cannot load! Firstly we consider about keeping all version of workflow class in one assembly  But this will lead the workflow definition assembly growing large forever. Because usually a sales order need several month to be processed and user need change the workflow frequently. So there will be a lots of old version instance stay in our database. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Control - Generic.baml file not generated

  Hello. I'm having an issue with my custom control if I move it to an external library. My custom control works fine if it is in the same assembly as the application but when I move it out to an external library my control does not appear. I noticed that within the app the generic.baml file was created but in the external library I do not see the generic.baml file. My build action for the file is set to Page.

• Visual Basic Windows Media Player 10 Control Enhancements

  Hi, I am developing an application to subtitle videos using the WMP 9/10 object with success for the moment. I'd like to take more advantage of the control and allow the user to use the Enhancements such as Video Settings to control video brightness, contrast, etc. My question if it's possible to access and modify such settings, and if not, I wonder if there's some sort of plugin to allow this, otherwise I'd have to migrate to another player control, and I would not like this option because I'm already forcing users to get WMP9 or 10 to use the program which was released on december 2004.- Any help will be really appreciated, I already searched through the WMP control reference at the MSDN Library without sucess.

• Gadgets MIME types in Spaces vs. Live.com

  It looks like a recent change to Spaces makes it more restrictive on MIME types than live.com.  Specifically, where the application/xml MIME type used to work just fine on Spaces and continues to work on live.com, Spaces will no longer load a gadget.xml manifest presented as application/xml.  Instead, it requires the manifest to present as text/xml.  This was preventing me from debugging my gadgets on Spaces because my web host presents .xml files as application/xml (a simple .htaccess file fixes this, but it took me a bit to track down the root of the problem). My Hangman gadget currently has a problem retrieving its data feeds which are presented by Yahoo as application/xhtml+xml.  The same feeds pull just fine on ...Show All
