Windows Live Developer Forums Browser Capibilities
Am I right in saying microsoft virtual earth is not compatible with netscape, mozilla or opera I've been having many problems with these browsers, and when i go to the virtual earth site in these browsers, it opens a different kind of page then you'd see in IE or FF. I was wondering if there is any way around this. I am targeting these browsers, so it's quite a big problem. Thanks for your help. This is all pretty new stuff we're playing with here, not just some simply html pages any more. I'd like to say thanks for the VE team for supporting Firefox (even 2.0 with a hack). This represents 96% of browser use across the world. As a developer i'm actually kind of happy that i only have to do system te ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance and Garbage Collector Monitoring under Windows?
Hello I noticed some people on the forums used the "XNA Framework Remote Performance Monitor for Xbox360" to get data about what the Garbage Collector does and other information while running the game. The documentation also mentions to debug code running on the xbox. My question is: How do I get the same type of information under Windows Is there any tool available I've succesfully used PIX from the DirectX SDK for debugging graphics problems, but that's only for graphics. Any help would be appreciated. The desktop CLR profiler gives you WAY more information than the Xbox one. I actually often use it for profiling Xbox code. If you can get the same program running on both platf ...Show All

However, the emails are getting rejected with an error message: Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for <email address> I can send a test email to my personal AOL account but not to the company that I want to send it to.

SQL Server How to orginize MDX Scripting development? Best practices are wanted!
Hi MDX Gurus, Could you please give me a properly advice. I make a lot of MDX scripting development. Today I made script changes in BI Studio, then deploy cube (changes) to the server, then test it with MDX queries from Sql Management studio. Both tools take some hundreds MB RAM and aren't quite fleetly. Do anybody have some hints to better shape this process Is it possible to deploy the MDX sript only as XMLA command, that override only script Yes, please check the <Alter> command on cube object. You don't need to reprocess cube after you've done Alter - the changes take effect as soon as Alter's transaction commits. ...Show All

SQL Server Where are the Graphs saved from Data Mining model viewer
Hi, all here, I tried to find the graphs I saved from Data Mining Model Viewer, but where is it saved As we see from the mining model viewer we could save the graphs there by clicking the 'save graph' button, but where is the graph Really need help for that. Thank you very much in advance for any guidance and help for that. With best regards, Yours sincerely, It sounds like there's some bug, but I've never seen it before. Maybe locale related There are some improvements to the copy/paste experience in SP2, so the tabular results will copy better to an Excel spreadsheet so you can use the data more efficiently. Sp2 will be available toward the end of the year. In the meantime, the copy of graphs simply does a ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Video Screen Capture
Is it possible to capture the screen as a video, like the way you take screenshots and then save it as *.wmv, or *.avi or something You see, I play a lot of games, and i want to take videos of them, and take videos of other stuff on screen, ive tried Windows Media Encoder 9 and its videos come out like screenshots piled together into a slideshow, only worse. I've also tried a few others, which didnt work great either, so I thought, it'd be great to make my own one, at least then if i didnt like it i could easily try to fix it. Is there a way in Visual Basic to do this, or is there a .NET component, or even a .DLL out there to do this in VB I don't know about encoding your own screenshot program (I'm a VB newbie) but you might ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Load test can't execute more than one simulated user per agent
I'm attempting to load test an application which includes both a WinForms client as well as server components. Because there is a lot of complex client behavior involved in working with a large dataset that's sent back and forth between the client and the web server, I'm using the existing client-side business services layer to help with this in my load test client code. I have four agents currently available on our load test rig and I've noticed that when I attempt to run more than 4 simulated users, the tests start to fail. I eventually determined that I could run up to four, but that any additional tests beyond that number would start to cause problems. The reason I think this is happening is because the client-side business service ...Show All
SQL Server Emailing long messages from SQL2000
Hello! The problem is this. I have many short messages in a table. I need to tigh them together in one long email message and email to the users. But xp_sendmail is limited to 7,790. How could I send longer messages Or how could I devide the long message and send it in parts (i.e. separate consequtive emails) This doesn't work, it still cuts the messages off at around 7,790: E. Send messages longer than 7,990 characters This example shows how to send a message longer than 7,990 characters. Because message is limited to the length of a varchar (less row overhead, as are all stored procedure parameters), this example writes the long message into a global temporary table consisting of a single text column. The contents of this tem ...Show All

SQL Server using the NewsML XSD Schema as the schema file for the event provider
hi i've been trying to provide events upon the arrival of NewsML XML files. i used the schema file downloaded from : http://www.newsml.org/dl.php fn=NewsML/1.2/specification/NewsML_1.2.xsd as the schema file argument in the event provider element. but i still have a few problems: i now need to define the Event Class in the ADF so the fields matches the Schema... it is near an impossible mission for me because the XSD file is VERY complexed... if i use other fields in the event class' fields i get a " Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception when i try to submit the XMLs... your help would be highly appreciated ! ...Show All
SQL Server SSIS adminsitration Website
Hello everybody, I've been working with SSIS for some weeks now and there are some Items that I really miss compared to for example BO Data Integrator. One of these is an Administration Console for SSIS packages. These would list all the jobs currently available in the repository: should be on file system and SQL server and give the user the ability to aunch them manually (in case of a job fails or something like that...) Another feature this admin console should have is give the user a status of the running packages much like in SSIS designer when debugging packages. Now I'd like to develop this by myself but I can't find any information about the Namespaces, Classes and objects I need to develop such an application... Doe ...Show All
