• Visual Studio Team System TFS errors after enabling SP1 ISAPI filter

  I'm trying to get this SP1 ISAPI filter working, but when I enable it I have connection problems with the TFS. I can still connect, but can't see work items or source control. I have the ISAPI filter configured like this: [config] RequireSecurePort=true ProxyIPList=192.168.1.1; There is an event log entry that says it has started correctly with that configuration. Here are the event log messages that start showing up when I try to connect with the ISAPI filter installed: Detailed Message: TF53002: Unable to obtain registration data for application VersionControl.

• SQL Server VS2005/SSR2005 Report Controlling field visibility by code

  VS2005/SSR2005 Reporting: How can one control an individual report fields visibility (toggle on/off) at run time, based on data values (of the same field or another field) in the report. Without user having to sit there and "Click". Thanks Zulu5255 If the Hidden expression evaluates to true, the item is hidden, otherwise it will be visible. Once the report is rendered, the visibility of the item is set until you re-render the report or you have a toggle item controlling the item's visibility. A toggle item allows you to control the visibility of another item after the report is rendered using a textbox. When you say that you set the expression, and then set it to be hidden, do mean that ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple Instances of the Same Model

  I've hit a really weird problem with the game I'm writing for the DBP competition. The reason it's so weird is because I'm sure it wasn't a problem before. Basically, I'm implementing the p1_wedge model in a class I have created called Player. Originally, I only had one player on screen but now I've added a second player. The problem I'm having is that it only draws the model for the second player. However, once the second player gets destroyed it then starts to display the model for the first player. It's as if the first player can't be drawn because the second player is using the model. I haven't done anything special to implement the Player class. I have made the main class a Singleton so that I have access to the graphics and content o ...Show All

• Commerce Server Getting SoldToName in Pipeline Component

  I'm building a C# pipeline component to handle credit card processing. I'm able to get the order form values without a problem. However, I'm not sure how to get the value for "soldtoname" which is stored at the PurchaseOrder level. Does anyone have any code examples where they've done this, or have suggestions As you've probably noted, the rest of the OrderGroup values are inaccessible in the pipeline. You can either use the email address in the address dictionary, or you can attach the value in the ordergroup field to the context dictionary prior to running the pipeline. IE: PipelineInfo p = new PipelineInfo(); p["sold_to_name"] = bas["sold_to_name"]; That only take ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WM5.0 w/ MSFP Image clarification

  Does the WM5.0 w/ MSFP image that was provided with Device Emulator 1.0 provide the security issues that are being discussed in this blog post: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/12/17/security_model_faq.aspx The issue I'm having is I'm attempting to test an ActiveSync CeRapiInvoke call to an unsigned DLL on the device. It fails on WM5.0 w/ Phone devices but on the Emulator the calls goes thru. ALL the DLL does is make a call to KernelIoControl to get the unique device identifier, which I'm told is supposed to be blocked on the new security model. But when I test this on the emulator image, it goes thru and returns back to me a value. Thanks in advance. http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsm ...Show All

• SQL Server How to : Truncation : Can i write a log entry whenever data is truncated?

  I'm reading data from a flat file source. If some data gets truncated, i have the option of 'ignoring', 'redirecting' or 'fail component'. What i'd like to do is, to allow the data to be truncated, but i'd also like to write a log entry so that i can know that a particular rows data has been truncated. I've tried 'redirecting' the row to a script component (as transformation), but i don't know how to determine if the error is truncation or not, not only that, i can't redirect the row back to the 'original' flow, which is a derived field column. Any ideas on how to do Cheers. Jamie Thomson wrote: That kind of dilutes the generic nature of the logging infrastructure. now you're talkin ...Show All

Where is it now I have manually added the drop-down box to the tool bar, but it's grayed out. This is extremely frustrating and critical to testing DirectX stuff. Okay, that enabled the drop-down!

It seems to just get in the way and make things /harder/ to find. ...Show All
