• Windows Live Developer Forums Does SetScaleBarDistanceUnit work?

  I've been trying to get the new feature, SetScaleBarDistanceUnit to set the scale bar to kilometers, and haven't been able to get it to work. This may be due a misunderstanding by me so if you have an example where it works, I'd be grateful to see it! The trick is you have to make the call after your mapload. map = new VEMap('MapDiv'); map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(-27, 152), 5 ,'r' ,false); map.SetScaleBarDistanceUnit(VEDistanceUnit.Kilometers); John. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Secure communication between 2 machines using self-hosted WCF messages

  I have looked at the various WCF security scenarios on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms730301.aspx We have a need to securely send messages between 2 Windows XP workstations using self-hosted WCF on both machines. Both machines will be offline (no access to AD and hence no access to Kerberos ticket) and connected to each other via a LAN.

• .NET Development CLR components cannot be added to a project using old Syntax c++

  Hi, I am working on migrating a Visual C++ project into .NET environment. The project in its current state compiles and runs just fine with CLR support, and I can use clr components such as windows forms provided that I write the code myself, but Visual Studio does not let me add a Windows Form, using the Add New Item into the project, and it gives me the error "CLR components cannot be added to a project using old Syntax c++. Please convert the project to use the new syntax." Does anyone know what the problem might be Thank you. The VS2005 Windows Forms designer can only generate code in the C++/CLI syntax and no longer supports the Managed C++ syntax. You'll either need to convert y ...Show All

• SQL Server Transaction question

  I need to select items in Table1 whose column2 value is not 'Processed'. I use the following code to get this working. BEGIN TRAN INSERT INTO @Temp Select Column1 from Table1 WHERE Column2 <> 'Processed' UPDATE table1 SET Column2 = 'Processed' FROM table1 T1 JOIN @Temp Tmp on T1.Column1 = Tmp.Column1 SELECT Column1 FROM @Temp END TRAN Since the default transaction level is read commited, two queries to sproc returns identical results. If I change the transaction level to Repeatable read, this works fine, but the performance degrades. Is there any other alternative which is better than this approach Thanks Pravin As far as I know the TOP statement is supp ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies setting the default page

  Hello, I've read a post or two that says under site settings - look and feel - there should be a section for the welcome page. I do not see this. I logged onto two SS2007 sites, one of which i installed myself and made myself the admin so i should have access to everything and i dont see it on there either. I tried renaming default.aspx to default2.aspx and then renaming my page to default.aspx but that had no effect, it just bounces you to default2.aspx now. So how can i make another page the default welcome page thanks When you are logged in as an Administrator, click the "Site Actions" menu bar, select "Site Settings" and then click on "Modify All Site Settings".

• SQL Server "Package Configurations" Problem

  Hi all, I have just set up my first deployment utility for the Integration services package i've been building. I seem to be getting problems with the package Configurations. I added an XML config file so that i could change the values of my SQL connection manager at deployment time. This was so that i could deploy it on both a test environment and the live environment. Any other variables can be changed in code by the calling application. As soon as i added the options for the sql connection manager and enabled package configuration i got errors when running the application: [Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "InternalProductionData Connection Manager".

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Addins to right-click menu

  Hello guys, I try to create VS2005 addin to Team Explorer right-click menu. The idea is: When you open Source Control Explorer, choose the project and right-click on it you'll get the menu. You can choose: <Get Latest Version> and etc from this menu. My purpose to add my own command (Ex: Custom Get) to this menu. Most of the topics I've found in Google are describe how to add command to main command bar - like Tools-><Your command>, but I haven't found anything about right click menu. Please help.... Thanks I have placed the addins in the right directory. I used filemon to confirm this. I click on Tools -> Addin Manager and I can see that devenv.exe opens/reads/closes the .addin files.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF "Bugs" or "Features"? + DirectX Interop Thoughts

  Hi all, I'm hoping for a little advice from someone more knowledgeble than myself... I've bolded important bits for lazy readers, I'm not trying to be rude :) Basically, I'm building a logic simulator . I want it to feel modern, with a nice looking UI, but most importantly to provide a fun and intuitive editing experience through the main editing panel. I've been prototyping with WPF for obvious reasons. To help demonstrate, I decided to attach the current (very basic) prototype for anyone who wants to try it out. I'll also link to some screenshots I took which demonstrate the problems I'm having (for those busier readers!) The  prototype currently only connects lines tog ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ReviewVisibleEventHandlers conflicts with Framework Design Guidelines if there's a security demand

  Hi, In Framework Design Guidelines, Section 5.4 Event Design (p. 135), it states: DO use a protected virtual method to raise each event. ... protected virtual void OnAlarmRaised(AlarmRaisedEventArgs e) { However, one of my implementations of the above has a linkdemand: [SecurityPermission (SecurityAction.LinkDemand, ControlAppDomain = true)] protected virtual void OnLoad (EventArgs e) { The linkdemand seems to trigger ReviewVisibleEventHandlers: "Warning 23 CA2109 : Microsoft.Security : Consider making OnUnload(EventArgs):Void not externally visible or ensure that it is benign code."
