• .NET Development Urgent Help needed on MS CRM, FetchXmlSchema

  I have tried to convert FetchXmlShema.XDR (as provided in CRMSDK 3.0) to XSD and I got an bizare error saying: A column named 'value' already belongs to this DataTable: cannot set a nested table name to the same name Aparenlty the XSD does not allow a nested table to have same name as one of parent table's column name. So I cannot convert the XDR to XSD without changing name of one of the field name (which i did and i finally got the XRD converted to XSD). My question is: Is there a work around (or change that I could make) to make current XDR and XSD competible and they reflect single schema structure (As the solution described by me makes both the schemas incompetible such as i have to rename one of the fields from 'value ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LocBaml doesn't work when ResourceDictionaries exist

  I am having problem with satellite assemble generated by LocBaml tool while I am trying to access value from a resource dictionary. It works for en-US but when culture changes to de-DE, it finds it difficult to access values from ResourceDictionary. Parsed file shows all info about XAML controls on all windows as well as the info about resources in Resource Dictionaries. After translation & regeneration of the satellite assembly, that doesn't work. If I don't have resourece dictionary, localization works fine for all cultures. I am using these dictionaries to dynamically change themes (not based on culture) for Branding purpose. Pls help. I don't think this is a known issue. We'll investigate. Tha ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Strange Vista Sidebar Gadget Problem

  So I got into developing a vista sidebar gadget and ran into a weird problem...The gadget uses simple ajax to call a server side script on a sub domain I have and the xmlHttpRequest.open() call in the gadget .html javascript gets a "Access is Denied" error. But here is the kicker...it only gets that error on Vista Home (basic or premium). On Vista Ultimate or Vista Business it works fine...Im at a loss. Im positive its the version that is causing the error because I have tested across multiple internet cnxns and mulitple Vista Home and Ultimate/Business installs with the same results. Anyone have any ideas at all Note: Iam using REST. I have tried turning off all antivirus and windows firewalls. Have toggled UAC ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Third-party DLLs and Team Builds

  We have several projects that reference third-party DLLs. However, the references point to where the DLLs were installed when the third-party SDKs were installed (something like C:\Program Files\...). This hasn't been a problem during normal development procedures because every developer's workstation has a similar directory layout. However, I've been tasked with setting up automated nightly builds. When TFSBuild gets the source code, it is placed too deep in the folder structure for the relative paths in the project files to be valid. Is there a "best practice" for this situation I was thinking we should just copy the required DLLs into our team project and add them to source control, then add references to these copies. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Database connection set up in Global.asax.vb for multiple users

  We have an application where users log in and set up a ConnectionString based on the login-info. As to now, we have used Application.Contents("conn") = (strConnectionString) in Global.asax.vb (Application_Start section) and then in the in the webforms we use Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection con = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(Application("conn")) con.Open() ...... ...... con.close() (Each user has their own sql database that they connect to using the same scripts.) The question is: When many users are logged on at the same time, will the use of Application.Contents be a safe way to connect to each users own database or is there a possibility that users suddenly will try to establish a connection to a databa ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision - Boundingbox

  Hey guys it’s me again I have one further question. How can I make Boundingboxes and Collisiondetection. I now the sample in the help documentation but i don`t understand it and it doesn`t really work. Could someone give me a sample collision class Can you also show me how to use the class boundingbox i am to stupid for it. Thanks to all There is nothing built-into XNA for collision. You need to write your own. An excellent book, with tutorials, derivations, and implementation code for almost all of it, is "Real-time Collision Detection" by Christer Ericson. I can't say enough good things about this book. I use it as a fairly comprehensive reference. Anyone who wants to learn about geometry in general should read it from c ...Show All

• SQL Server Error when Exporting to Excel using SSRS 2003

  Hi, I have encountered an error when attempt to open a report which is exported to Excel using SSRS2003. It looks like this: Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\TocsonEI\My Documents\Rigid\Reports\rptRigidTransactionSummaryReport3.xls' The following is a list of repairs: Damage to the file was so extensive that repairs were not possible. Excel attempted to recover your formulas and values, but some data may have been lost or corrupted. At first I thought it was because of the sheer bulk of the report since when I break down a month's report to every 5 days, it would export without error. So I thought that if I can break a whole report into several worksheets us ...Show All
