• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Business Scorecard Manager to Sharepoint deployment

  Hi, I have setup all necesary things in BSM and SPS, but when I deploy, the the pulldown with the "sharepoint site url" is empty, as well as the "document library" pulldown. Are there steps in Sharepoint necesary to maken the http://localhost site available for BSM deployment I figured this one out: start the newly created (and extended - by SharePoint) site and apply a new template (one that includes a document library). Scorecard builder will find it after you've published your scorecard to the server. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug?: Unwanted C4819

  For the following program (encoded in Latin1): #include <stdio.h> #ifdef _MSC_VER #define POUND 0xA3 #else #define POUND '￡' #endif int main() { printf("%c\n", POUND); return 0; } I get the following message under Chinese Windows: test.c : warning C4819 : The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (936). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss The point is that the offending line is not designed to work with MSVC. I do not think it right to give such a warning. I found this when compiling a cross-platform project. It has code like above for other platforms. Earlier versions of MSVC do not report this error. The suggestion is useless in my case (won't work ...Show All

• Visual C++ Again an "error LNK2019"

  Well, I've seen many posts related to this linker error, but I haven't been able to solve my problem with them. I'm building a DirectX 8.0 game with Visual Studio 2005.

• Software Development for Windows Vista About Standby resume

  Hi.......I have a question about Standby Resume. The tool of PwrTest is very useful to developers. But to BIOS developers, it will be better if we can get a resume time measure of every single device in ' Device Initialization Phase '. There is only driver Init timing result in the S3 resume result matrix now. It will be harder to check which device cause the issue, if the timing failed to match the requirements. Is there any way to pick up the resume time seperately of every single device Thank you! I have the same kind of question.. I sent mail to onnow@microsoft.com , but haven't get reply. So may I ask you that where I can find how to write such kinds of script or is there another wa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Slow User Defined Control

  I'm creating a custom control that has contained within it a large number of buttons. The code is extremely slow (taking about 12 seconds to display). I've had no success in making it faster. The problem seems to be centered around a single statement: Controls.Add(my_button_ctl); I tried to use the Controls.AddRange(...) member instead of Add(), but there was no speed improvement as was implied in the documentation. If I remove the Controls.Add() call (or AddRange), the display is almost instant. Is anyone aware of a way to speed up a user defined control that contains a large number of button controls In my case there are up-to 550 buttons contained on the control and I would like to get them displayed in under 1 second. The custom ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Slow Render Performance (2000+ UIElements)

  I’m creating a Grid that is 35x35, each cell containing a ContentControl with a ContentTemplate defining a TextBlock inside a Border. It is necessary for the entire grid to be rendered at one time. Perhaps obviously, there is a noticeable delay after my code ends (building the grid dynamically) and when the grid displays on the screen. (based on Timers and a Debug.Write) The delay also seems to occur when I’m building the grid for printing and its not actually rendered. I would guess I’ve reached a limitation of WPF, but is there something I can do to minimize this delay Thanks for suggestions. ----- Code --- <Style x:Key="DefaultCellBox" TargetType="{x:Type ContentControl}"> <Se ...Show All

• Visual Basic folderbrowsedialog - need servername, not drive letter.

  I need to pull the server name and not the drive letter from a folder dialog. h:/car wash/sponge types becomes //myservername/car wash/sponge types. you could just access the Network Places/Workgroup to get all the available list of servers from there and access it. if I find something, ill be sure to post but currently can't see much. If it's mapped to different drives then that shouldnt matter as the drives are being mapped to the same server, sorry for perhaps trying to appear to "avoid" the problem but just in case if you didn't know this :-) ...Show All
