• Audio and Video Development Loading Resources

  After I installed the newer iHDSimulator none of my projects would load. I get a resource load error and have to Ctrl+Alt+Del and kill the app. I ran the validator and it doesn't find any of my resource files. So I thought maybe this is a good time to start loading from and ACA. I've read the spec, and looked at HD-DVD release titles and have noticed that some titles load resources from an ACA by declaring it as an ApplicationResource and others load from a TitleResource. First question: what is the difference In both examples they seem to be using it to load per Title. Second question, why is my playlist no validating properly on resource load ### Playlist ### <Playlist xmlns="http://www.dvdforum.org/2005/HDDVDVideo/Playlist" xmlns:x ...Show All

• SQL Server updating local data on device from sql server, via webservice

  I want to update data on the device which has a sql server mobile database. the main database is sql server. I use web services to enable the mobile application to access the server. Can anyone recommend a way of updating the data on the device without using replication I basically want to read a dataset from the server via webservice and put this in to local db - but not row by row as too many records. Regards Just out of curiosity - why would you want to use Web Service instead of using RDA or replication Less code, better performance… I know some developers believe if SQL CE does not connect directly to SQL Server (e.g. goes through Web Service), there are licensing benefits.

• .NET Development dummy OracleClient question

  Hello, I have a really, really newbie question: what do I need to download to enable working with OracleClient I think I need the Oracle Client 9.x from Oracle, so I went to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/winsoft.html , but the file size is huge! Why is an Oracle client so big I would think the server is big, but a client should be small. I apologize if I'm asking a dumb question, but I haven't worked with Oracle in 5 years and I just don't remember the setup. Thanks, Tibs Hi, You can better download the Oracle Data Access Components.

• SQL Server weird resultset from stored procedure

  I have 2 stored procedures: the 1st uses the second sp. to fill a parameter. the 2nd has one output parameter defined. When I run the 2nd sp. on its own in MS SQL Server Manangement studio, there is no resultset shown. BUT when the 2nd sp. is executed inside the 1st sp., I get a '3' in the resultset everytime the 2nd sp. executes. What is causing this This is the way I execute the 2nd sp. inside the 1st sp.: select 'TEST1' execute dbo . uspMonthlyHeadCount @soe , @eoe , @Months , @count output select 'TEST2' Results are like this: TEST1 3 TEST2 ... (it's displayed more times because the sp. is inside a while) Why is this happening and what can I do about it (I'll provide more info if needed!) ...Show All

• Commerce Server 64-bit CS 2007 - Custom Pipelines - Registration/Deployment Process

  Can someone help me out with the steps to deploy aa 64-bit version of custom pipelines from 32-bit VS 2005. Building the project in ".NET" allows for the framework loader to automatically build to the proper framework installed.
