Windows Forms ClickOnce publish problem for Remote Site
Hi. I want to use ClickOnce so that I can install a WinForms application from a web site. I have two questions: 1) What do I need to do in IIS to support ClickOnce I think it needs FrontPage Server Extensions. I have also tried creating a Virtual Directory etc. So far I have been unable to publish into the Virtual Directory and I get errors like... Error 3 Failed to connect to 'http://<domainname>/ClickOnceTestInternal/' with the following error: Unable to create the Web 'http://<domainname>/ClickOnceTestInternal/'. Server error: 'ClickOnceTestInternal' does not refer to a page or folder in this web. It may be a page or folder in a subweb, or it could be a badly formed URL. What else do I need to do 2) I need to ...Show All
SQL Server Use of Undouble in package
HI, I am using the sample Undouble in a package, which I believe is OK, but when I deploy and run my package it gives me errors: Message: The component metadata for "component "UnDouble" (1)" could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed. Event Name: OnError Message: The component is missing, not registered, not upgradeable, or missing required interfaces.

SQL Server Preview report drastically different when deployed to Server
I have a Main Report which calls a subreport. Subreport has top 5 records selected. So i draw 5 lines on the main report so that when the subreport is placed on these 5 lines, each row is seperated by a line. It looks ok in the preview but when i deploy the report to the server, the lines below the subreport do not appear. I tried doing Subreport send to Back but it still does not work. I cannot draw lines in the subreport (table detail section) because it only shows as many rows as there is data.I have to show 5 rows(lines) on the MAIN REPORT no matter how many rows of data come from the subreport. Please give me some suggestions. ...Show All

Visual Studio Breakpoints stopped working
All of a sudden some breakpoints in my solution stopped working. The tooltip displays the following error message: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. The source code is different from the original version." I rebuilt the solution; deleted /bin and /obj directories of the project in question; restarted Visual Studio; all to no avail. Any hints what might cause this, and how to solve it I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. Addendum: This seems to affect only breakpoints set on a method head. Breakpoints set on a statement inside the method still work. You can manually disable the document change setting in the express skus by using the registry editor. Close any instance ...Show All
Visual C++ Bug in _AfxAbbreviateName() ???
In _AfxAbbreviateName(), the code does: lpszBase = lpszCanon; cchFullPath = lstrlen(lpszCanon); cchFileName = AfxGetFileName(lpszCanon, NULL, 0) - 1; lpszFileName = lpszBase + (cchFullPath-cchFileName); Which in the case where there is no directory component, results in lpszFilename being lpszCanon. Then, eventually, in the case that the name was too long to fit and bAtLeastName was set, it does: Checked::tcscpy_s(lpszCanon, cchFullPath, lpszFileName); Which is of course doesn't fit because cchFullPath doesn't include the character for the null terminator. Can anyone else confirm my reading of this code Am I missing something or is the a genuine bug Thanks, Joseph Agreed, that should be ...Show All

SQL Server Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB'
I keep getting the error "Could not fetch a row from OLE DB provider 'VFPOLEDB' when I do a query on a FoxPro Linked Server through SQL 2000. If the query returns 0 rows I don't get an error I just get the structure of the table. But if the query returns rows I get the error. I can replicate this on a test machine but my development machine works fine. I have checked the SVRNETCN and the CLICONFG apps in SQL Server and they seem to be set the same on both machines. I am using NamedPipes on the server. I tried starting the DTS and that didn't fix the issue. Would anyone know what I don't have working correctly NOTE: I also posted this in the MSDN Newsgroups Hi Evan, First, be sure you ...Show All
Visual C++ IUnknown::Release() not working when called from a different thread then AddRef() was called
Ok... My situation is that I have a group of Objects that inheirit from CCmdTarget. Therefore, these object's methods are exposed via COM. My problem is releasing some of these objects. For some objects everything releases smoothly. I call myObject->Release() during the deconstruction of my thread object (a closing socket connnection). But when shutting down my system I am in the base thread trying to deconstruct my objects and when I call myObject->Release() it does nothing. THis is leaving me with memory leaks. Any sugguestions Thanks You are not allowed to deconstruct you objects unless all conections to it are gone. Also it is not allowed to pass a pointer to a COM object from one thead ...Show All

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Please Add Non-Generic DrawUserPrimitives and DrawIndexedUserPrimitives methods.
I posted this request in the Suggestion tool as well. Btw- where is the link to actually view the contents of the Bug reports, and Suggestions You'd think that would be handy from the connect.microsoft.com site, but I can't find it. Add the method: Device.DrawUserPrimitives(Type vertexType, PrimitiveType type, int count, Array vertexData); and a similar non-generic method for Indexed primitives. I have a rendering system that captures rendering calls, and retains the call information. Later on, it sorts all of the calls in order to minimize state changes before execution. This is a very commen scenario. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT to call generic methods (in a generic fashion) when you only know the vertex type, and have a un-typed array. For ...Show All

The one that blow up earlier, for the backgroundworker, I set it as Button1 -call the async Backgroundworker -do work, update grid. heh.. that didn't work.
