• Visual Studio Team System ASP application with isapi filter set

  Hi, We are facing a problem with Crystal Report. We have a server which is setup with 2 sites (made up of classic ASP code). One is having and ISAPI filter called GetAccess and the other one is not. We are trying to get a Crystal Report from the one which is not having that ISAPI filter, it is working perfectly fine. The same set of code which pull the same report which is under the ISAPI filter is giving the below error message to me. Can you please suggest us something on this "ACCESS DENIED" Thanks and regards, Claire It sounds like you'll want to follow up with whoever created the ISAPI filter.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is DirectX9c realistic for all my UI needs?

  I am currently wanting to use the DirectX 9c UI for all of my UI needs in my game. Like using a MultiListEditBox for a complex trade window tracker editor and also an inventory being able to drag and drop 3d images of my items. Is it realistic Do I need to wait for XNA and how much would it cost I would like to use it for free but if not willing to pay a few dollars. Do I have to use something else like CEGUI or something else Thanks Neither DirectX nor XNA provide any UI libraries. The DirectX SDK has sample UI components in native and managed code, however the code is part of their game template library and tough to extract just the UI elements without using the rest of the library. CEGui, and other ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem building a WPF (WinFX) project with MSBuild.

  Hi, I thought I should report a very strange problem that I encountered using MSBuild on a WinFX (WPF) project. Maybe someone else has encountered the same problem... The project works perfectly fine when building it in Visual Studio 2005 with Orcas extensions, but when building it with MSBuild for the command line the following error occurs: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.WinFX.targets(236,9): error MC1000: Unknown build error, 'API restriction: The assembly 'file:///C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.XML.dll' has already loaded from a different location.

• Visual Studio Reportviewer print dialog problem

  My .NET version 2 application creates reports by calling a method from a dll (which I also wrote) which displays a form containing a user control which in turn contains a ReportViewer. I set the viewer's .ReportPath, .BindingSource, and .DataSource properties and call the .RefreshReport method. The viewer displays the report correctly. When I click the viewer's Print button, the Print dialog correctly appears, but I have to click the dialog's Print button twice to actually send the report to the printer. What could be causing this So are there any more updates on these two issues It would be nice to print without going to print layout first. Andy ...Show All

• SQL Server ADO Connections

  Forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but it does have to do with data access. Just a quick question: When using an ADO Component /Object to connect to a database, C# or whatever, that connection that is established - How likely is it that data being retrieved from the database is intercepted, is that channel encrypted/secured, and if not for either questions, how do i secure that channel Please check following blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2005/10/04/476705.aspx If you want to force client encryption, there is a connection string property in ADO, please see below link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.connectionstring.aspx good luck!

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Trouble with install: no mime-type association - solved

  I installed the first CTP release on two Windows XP machines running IE7 and Firefox 1.5. In both cases, the plugin doesn't seem to be properly registered with the browser. The page that includes XAML still asks me to install WPF/E after reloading it or even restarting the browser. Any tips Thanks, Julien My bad. I installed the SDK, instead of the normal package. I incorrectly assumed that the SDK included the normal install as well. Cheers, Julien ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading the buttons of Joystick Saitek x52

  Hi all, Did anybody come across a C# sample that relates to Saitek X52 I have found some generic Joystick samples which help me read the buttons EXCEPT the Mode button. The GetButtons() function returns the codes of the pressed buttons, but I cannot get the status of the Mode button out. I just spoke to Saitek support - No .NET samples whatsoever. Any tips will be appreciated. Best Moni. I did check. Mode button is active and well in Control Panel -> Game Controllers. I use byte [] buttons = state.GetButtons(); int button = 0; foreach ( byte b in buttons) { if (0 != (b & 0x80)) strText += button.ToString( "00| " ); button++; } richTe ...Show All

• SQL Server Efficient sorting by an XML node value over multiple table rows

  Hi colleagues. I would like to use the newest XML feature for localization problem. So: I have  Country table with Name column of XML data type. This column contains a country's names in amount of languages, in a format like: "<ru> </ru><en>Russia</en><fr>Russie</fr>...". I liked that approach much until I faced a problem - How to select all the countries ordered by French name So I created primary and secondary (PROPERTY) XML indexes in order to increase efficiency of the following query: select top 100 * from Country order by Name.value('(/fr/text())[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') However, when I tested that query over 150 000 rows it turned out to be 60(!) times slower than to quer ...Show All

• SQL Server how to configure TCP port for unattended install

  I've looked through every source of material on SQL Server Express unattended installs that I could get my hands on, but so far, I've come up with nothing that shows how to set the server engine's TCP port to 1433 . Since the SQL Server setup is part of a (considerably) larger install, requiring the customer to set this by hand is not really acceptable. Is there a way to do this with a command-line parameter (etc) Thanks in advance Josh I am a newbe and do not know what "SMO" or "VMI" providers are. You eluded to a "Script" that can set the IP port for SQL Express. Any chance I can get a url or exanmple of this "script" ...Show All
