• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista with Samba

  Vista will not connect to my Buffalo Samba NAS. Although the device appears in my workgroup, Vista continually asks for username and password then fails to connect. I have read this is something to do with "fast query" vs. "slow query". If this is the case is there any way to switch to "slow query" so that Samba drives will work Has anyone got a Samba drive working in Vista Hey guys. I'm having the same issue with Vista Business and Vgear Landisk. I have a brand spanking new system that I just built and now I am unable to access my NAS. I can login and view the first set of shares. I can then go inside one level deep but after that it doesn't let me go anywhere. Ther ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Creating Workitem Dependencies

  We have created a new process template from Agile Process template, customized and uploaded successfully. In this template we would like to put some state transition constraint on a specific workitem. For example let us say, Requirement Specification and Detailed Design are two work items with states defined as 'Started' & 'Completed' . Now we want that State of Detailed Design should not be 'Completed' until State of Requirement Specification is 'Completed' . Any suggestion on how to do this OK now I have understood that <dependencies> are used in process template tasks creation and we need to define rules to control a field's values. Since 'WorkItemType' defines a class of 'WorkItem' ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums problems Signing Into Windows Live Messenger v8.0

  I have Windows Live Messenger v8.0 Build 8.0.0792.00 On both my Tablet PC and my Desktop. Recently, I upgraded my hard drives on my desktop from IDE to SATAII. After reinstalling the OS and a bunch of programs, I installed Live Messenger v8.0 directly from Live Messenger's website. Once again my desktop and Tablet are running Build 8.0.0792.00, but now my desktop cannot sign into Messenger. My Tablet signs in within seconds, but the desktop just hangs at the "Signing In..." screen, with the little men rotating. Both computers are connected wirelessly, to my router. And since the tablet can connect no problem, I can safely assume the problem does not lie with the router. I have yet to install any antivirus or firewall ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TeamSuite including Database Professional

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CreateBitmapSourceFromMemorySection

  Can anyone explain the System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromMemorySection(..) function to me From the name it sounds like you simply give it a pointer to an unmanged piece of bitmap memory, then what you get back is a BitmapSource pointed at that data. However when I try this, the function throws an exception: "The handle is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070006 (E_HANDLE))". So this obviously implies to me, that the function does not take a straight memory pointer, but in fact we need to provide a handle of some sort... but to what Does anyone know Information on the web seems to be scant. I came accross this too! To fix this problem multiply the numPixels b ...Show All

• Windows Forms AutoScroll doesn't Paint until MouseUp?

  If I set a Panel to AutoScroll = true, and then at run time drag the scroll bar slider up and down, the contents of the Panel don't actually refresh as I am dragging the slider, but instead only after I release the mouse button. This is NOT good. How can I get the Panel to Paint itself dynamically as I am moving the scroll bar slider I used Lutz Roeder's .Net Reflector to look at what happens inside System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl and found, in pseudocode, "if (!draggingSlider) { DoScroll() }". Using reflection I invoked "DoScroll" from the Scroll event that n0n4m3 suggested -- with this, it works exactly as I wanted it to! EXCEPT...! It BREAKS scrolling when NOT dr ...Show All

• SQL Server Insall SSMS from 64 bit media on 32 bit workstation

  I'm having no success install SSMS on a 32 bit workstation from 64 bit media. I'm aware from researching that the SSMS is 32 bit, in fact I see it run as a 32 bit app on the server. However, when i try and install from the 64 bit CD or DVD I get errors such as not a valid Win32 application, or when i tre random msi's guessing as to which is ssms I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Redistrodubtion of a VB app

  Hi all! I am new to VB.net, so please excuse me if I'm asking a stupid question :-) I've created a few applications now, but the default setup program I get when I use the "Publish" feature, does not satisfy me. I've checked for a few setup creation packages online, and obtained a free one, but now, I'd like to know how I can publish the main executable program on its own so that I can create a custom setup Is this possible - if not: is there perhaps a way I can modify the default setup program Thanks - again, excuse me if I'm asking a stupid question. Johannes The only deployment solution provided with Express edition is ClickOnce. If this doesnt meet you requirements then you can either 1. Upgrade to a pay version of ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE Interop

  Hi, I've been trying to write a Custom Download Manager for IE using C#. I've found some information here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/workshop/browser/ext/overview/downloadmgr.asp , but I can't figure out what CLSID I should refer to my managed library as, or if I need to register it or something. I don't have any experience in working with COM, so using a hybrid solution could be difficult for me. All suggestions are welcome. Reuben. Sorry if I was unclear, but I'm using C#, and all my code is managed, so there is no COM component for me to register. I registered my managed DLL (with the ComVisibleAttribute), and I know that IE is trying to load my library, be ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005, CF2.0, C++ Part 2

  I think I've absorbed and processed the information in Part 1. So here is my interpretation of the consequences. The application must either: a) be entirely rewritten in a different language; (editorial note: it appears to me that CF now has *no* mode for porting existing software because it shares *no* programming language with any possible existing non-clr software running on mobile devices. Apparently MS interprets the market to be telling them that it wants to rewrite all existing applications! ) Or b) take the existing C++ application, compile it for WinCE 5 using Visual Studio 2005 and the standard (non-clr) libraries, and provide COM-wrapped CF modules for it to get .NET resources. In this case, there are three sets - Console, ADO, ...Show All
