• SQL Server TimeSpan .Net type in AS Stored proc for Elapsed time + ProClarity

  Hi, I guess ,this is kind of an old problem. But I have tried various ways to do this in vain. Here is the scenario: and all the different approaches that I followed I need to convert seconds to DD:HH:MM:SS as elapsed time. it would mean days:hours:minutes:seconds. calculation gives 86400 seconds = 01:00:00:00 (1 day). The elapsed time needs to show negative elapsed time. for example: -02:22:10:05. Also I need to display the same on ProClarity graphs. The graphs also need to show the same dd:hh:mm:ss format. Approach 1: I used the TimeSerial function, this works fine only for HH:MM:SS. It does not support days. also it does not support negative values. Approach 2: I used a custom .Net library (AS stored procedure) which would ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Retrieving Information from a RichTextBox Selection

  Hi, I would like to know how to retrieve the inlines contained within a selection. I have tried various ways to retrieve the exact inlines contained whithin the selection, but I never get accurate results. Can someone please help Thank you, Jaco Hi, I'm also having trouble with the InlineUIContainer's not being saved in the xaml. The XamlWriter.Save(rtb.Document) method is not available in an XBAP so can't use that. Also, I've subclassed the FlowDocument and overridden the IsEnabledCore method to return true - so that the UI elements are enabled. However the save method of the TextRange still doesn't return the InlineUIContainer's. All I'm trying to do is to save the flow document wi ...Show All

• SQL Server Password History with CHECK_POLICY and CHECK_EXPIRATION

  I've tried to find a definitive answer to this but I cannot. If CHECK_POLICY = ON and CHECK_EXPIRATION = ON will password history be checked when a user changes their password By password history I mean the idea that a password once used cannot be used again for another X password resets.... If password history does work, why would executing the following statement multiple times then work ALTER LOGIN Bob WITH Password = '123User321' If I execute this statement four times in a row wouldn't I get a message that I cannot reuse the password on the second call Thanks in advance No, password history won't take effect in your example, because what you are doing is resetting the password.

• Windows Forms PrintPageEventArgs Supplies a Graphics Object with Random VisibleClipBounds

  I am facing a problem where only a portion of the page I am trying to print shows up on the printer. I see that the same problem is reported by a number of people: a. http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread225516.html b. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=38324&SiteID=1 c. http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/24/121201.aspx After spending some time, I find that the Graphics object supplied by PrintPageEventArgs in the PrintPage event is giving a "random" VisibleClipBounds. For the same printer, sometimes it is big enough for the page, sometimes it is not. In one debug session, I printed my application to different printers one after another by selecting them from a standard PrinterDialog I ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problems to open PR_BODY message property - CEMAPI

  Hello everyone, I am having a problem to get the email body from IMessage using CEMAPI in WM 5.0. My application is actually an extended menu item (implements IContextMenu COM interface) that takes part in the Inbox message menu. By selecting the extended/my menu item I open from code a cemapi session and I retrieve the selected message. I succeed to get the message properties without errors (e.g. PR_SUBJECT), but when it comes to PR_BODY the behavior is different. The following common code that I am using always returns 'MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND'. hr = pMsg->OpenProperty(PR_BODY, &IID_IStream, STGM_READ, 0,(LPUNKNOWN*)&messageStream); I looked over the web and I didn't find any solution for ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating a Setup File and when adding a new update removes previous

  Hello, It took me hours to work out how to create an installer using Visual Studio. In the end when you know how to do this its very simple. My only problem is no matter what I have tried in the options if I create a newer version of the program I have built and want to deploy it when I run the setup file it does not delete the old program files and folders and it does not updates these with the new version.

• Community Chat zune not recognized by PC

  My PC will not recognize my zune, any other device i hook up usb i getthe old DOng ding sound and it shows up. When I hook up the zune, I get nothing. This is the second zune and third cable, it will not even charge on my PC and yes i have 2.0 usb. Any help would be great. Thanks Chad K After searching around a bit, I found a small tip from someone who has 'fixed' the problem. It seems that the Zune also needs the occasionally 'power off'/'power on'. If for some reason your Zune doesn't start charging when connected to a PC and your PC doesn't recognize the device, hold down the back and up buttons on your Zune until the screen goes black. You should see your Zune reset. If you ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net Framework 2.0 Install Error

  Hi I'm getting this error when I try install .NET Framework 2.0 on a client: 1: ALLUSERS property is not 1 - this MSM cannot be used for a per-user or fallback-to-per-user install Can anyone please tell me if it's a security issue Or can i set the ALLUSERS property myself Hi, I heard from another customer with the same problem. On their system, the .NET Framework 2.0 had been advertised on their system as a per-user install, likely by an Active Directory group policy deployment on their network. They were able to solve this issue by uninstalling the advertised version of the .NET Framework from Add/Remove Programs and then re-running the dotnetfx.exe installer to install the .NET Framework 2. ...Show All

• Windows Forms shrinking menu width when rendermode = system

  If you set the rendermode for a menu to anything but system you get the blue vertical strip on the left side running from the top to the bottom. If you set the rendermode to system, it disappears but you still have the entire width where the strip was on the menu. How do you get rid of this margin I don't want the strip but without it it makes the menu too wide and ugly. Well that's not really an option. I need it to disappear. This wasn't the case with VS 2003. I don't know why they had to change it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how do I create a file viewer that filters file visibility based on user input?

  I want to create my own custom file explorer that will enable the user to view only certain files based on criteria that the user types in a text box. For instance, if the user were to type 'elvis' into the text box, only files with 'elvis' in the file name would be shown. What would be the best way to go about implementing this (i.e., what controls should I use , what methods are available that would help me accomplish this ) thanks for any help :) Use a listbox control to display the files...and use the GetFiles method of the directory class to fetch an array pf files to be displayed in the listbox ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Flash to Texture (Dx9)

  My issue: A.- Don't have Macromedia Flash SDK ( I'm student !!! ) B.- I need to play a flash onto a DirectX9 texture. Idea: - Execute the Macromedia's FlashPlayer. - FindWindow + GetDc ---> Transform the HDC to a dynamic Directx9 texture. ---> ReleaseDC - Render the texture onto two triangles. This works fine, but if FlahsPlayer window doesn't paint, because is overlapped by another window, or is minimized, evidently my app doesn't work.

I don't know the exact details, but there is something in the new vshost.exe that causes controls to be drawn slower in debug. Ken ...Show All
