I am also going to write a tutorial/blog/experience report on this as I cannot find the correct resources on the net, believe it or not (ok so my search keywords are not great!).....

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is there a standard local folder that a non administrator can always write to.

  That is, is there a standard folder which is both guaranteed to be writable by a non- administrator and guaranteed to be local rather than on a network share Yup- char szPath[_MAX_PATH]; SHGetFolderPath (NULL, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA | CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE, NULL, 0, szPath) This finds the Vista equivalent of XP's "\documents and settings\all users\application data" folder. In The flag CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA is one of many (for Start Menu, Favorites, Templates, Documents, etc). The CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE flag causes the folder to be created if it doesn't exist. These flags are defined in shlobj.h. ...Show All

• Gadgets Gadget with remote html src??

  Is it possible that in the gadget.xml file to set the html src as a html page hosted remotely I have a site that is hosted remotely and is all html a jscript and would like to just point my gadget at it. No, as it has to be a local file. It's easy to solve though, just use an IFRAME and set the src to your remote site. eg gadget.html: <html> <body style="margin:0px; width:300px; height:300px;"> <iframe style="position:absolute; top:0px; left:0px; width:100%; height:100% src=" http://...

• SQL Server Line Break formatting

  I have a report with a narrow column. The column contains a comma delimited number list. If the length of the string exceeds the width of the column then the line breaks. No problem with this, except that there are breaks between the numbers. Example: 123,124,125,126 can be formatted as 123,12 4, 125,1 26 I'd like to force a break at a position within the string if its on the comma. Any thoughts on doing this in the Expressions window TIA Use vbcrlf. I'm putting a line break in my address with the below code. I tried \r\n, <br>, all kinds of stuff. vbcrlf is what I needed. =Fields!SHIPTO.Value & vbcrlf & Fields!SHP_TO_CTY.Value & ", " & Fields!SHP_TO_ST.Value & " " ...Show All
