• .NET Development Stored Procedure does not exist

  Hi, I'm trying to run a stored procedure with the Database class. I have tried two different ways, db.ExecuteDataSet(spName,params) db.LoadDataSet(spName, dataset, New String() {tableName}, arrParams) and both throw the excexption the stored Procedure 'spName' doesn't exist so i decided to run the hands on lab of the data access application block, and guess what it happened again!! the same error.

• Visual C++ Print using ShellExecute

  Hello, I have a problem when using the ShellExecute API; the problem is that I print multi files from different types to a specified printer. e.g. TXT and DOC files. The problem is that I call the ShellExecute for the DOC file then for the TXT file, but the TXT file spooled and printed before the DOC file. Can any one help me print the files in the order I need Thanks a lot. It is the problem with the MDI's as I expected. Winword has still an MDI interface even if it doesn't look like. One process handles more than one file. Did you tryed SEE_MASK_FLAG_DDEWAIT This could fix the problem with the MDI stuff and Winword. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 6 archive suddenly grown 3x the size

  Hi. We have been having some issues with our VSS database so have been doing a lot of analyzing. We have noticed that at around the same time of starting analyzing, our SS archive has grown from 250Mb to 850Mb. Does anyone know why this has happened and how I can reclaim the space This is not really a big problem but is a nuisance because the archive can no longer fit on a CD ROM. Thanks very much. Hi Richard It was the archive which suddenly increased in size, but I think I know what's happened. The archive was smaller because our database was corrupt. I suspect that the archive didn't complete and stopped when it encountered errors in the DB. This was confirmed when I tried restoring one of these sm ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A way to generate beep through sound card

  I would like to generate a beep sound (for example a sine wave sound) with a particular frequency (Hz) and length (ms). How can this be accomplished with VB.net Rather than using pc speaker, I would like to use DirectSound or so... Thanks, but I can't find an example on TheZBuffer.com. I searched and searched... I found this piece of code: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/messagebeep.asp It seems to do the job, but how to extract only the generate beep part and convert it to Vb.net I'm just a newbie programmer, so if anyone can do this, I would be most grateful! So I need just the function to play a beep with frequency X and length of Y milliseconds. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 auto shutdown problem

  I downloaded the IE7 from Yahoo! a couple of days ago, and installed it. My PC was bought from Dell two years ago with XP Pro (Pack 2). The installation process was normal. I was able to access the internet as before (AT&T DSL). However, after a couple of clicks, the program just shuts itself down automatically without any warning. I was able to download another copy from microsoft.com, and reinstalled it. The problem is still the same. Now after launching IE7, it will likely shut down before my 5th click. Please help solve this problem or tell me how to go back to the previous version of IE. Thanks a lot. - Steve I seem to have the exact same problem. I can't even get as far as 5 clicks.

• Visual Basic Windows service does work every 24 hours

  How do I set up a Windows service to do work once every 24 hours. I have read that using a loop that checks the desired time to the current time is a good solution, but I am wondering if there is a better way. I want to accomplish something similar to Windows Update. you can place a timer on the service and implement the timeelapsed event and set the interval to 24 hours. The timer interval is measured in milliseconds so you want to convert 24 hours into milliseconds :-P http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/393k7sb1.aspx does this work for you Have you tried it before Another thing you could do is on every hour, check if 24 hours has been elapsed either by adding 1 to a counter variable a ...Show All
