• Windows Live Developer Forums Error MSN Search When Putting Live

  I've just finished testing an implementation of the MSN Search functionality into one of my projects. During debugging and testing on my local machine everything was working successfully, searches were being carried out and everything was fine. However when putting it onto the server I came across an error: The remote name could not be resolved: 'soap.search.msn.com' I believe that the problem will be down to permissions on the server. Before messing around with the permission settings I thought I'd ask and see if anyone else has had this problem and whether or not they managed to solve the issue. Thankyou James I've just finished testing an implementation of the MSN Search functionality into one of my projects. During debugging and ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles.

Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream C# is the future only if all you are concerned about is writing games for Windows PCs and Xbox 360. I'm sure Wii, PS3, DS and PSP will continue to have their fair share of AAA titles in the years to come and they will be written in a mish-mash of C, C++, GLSL, Cg and ASM, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting inner exception for FaultException

  It seems that it is recommended that a WCF application throw a FaultException. My question is that if I catch an Exception how do I construct a FaultException so that the inner exception is populated Basically I have something like: catch(Exception ex) { throw new FaultException . . . . } OK, but that document doesnot suggest to re throw any exception. It simply states that you should catch FaultException and its Generic version with <> explicitly rather than catching a generic Exception which are normally used to catch exception. If you are creating a seperate class to use by other classes then its better to let that exception be raised and it's implementor responsibilty to catch those ex ...Show All

• Visual Basic Performing operations on out of focus windows forms VB 2005

  I have a Mdi application I am coding. One screen is a datagridview and from that the user double clicks a record to open a new window. On the new window I have next and previous buttons. Is it possible have the highlight on the datagrid move with the click of the next and previous buttons without leaving the focus of the details window One way would be to make a public sub on the form with the datagridview to move the highlight and call this sub from the buttons on your other form. The sub could look like: Public Sub ChangeRow(ByVal UpDown As Boolean) ' UpDown True moves Up ' UpDown False moves Down Dim Row As Integer = DGV1.CurrentRow.Index Dim Column As Integer = DGV1.CurrentCell ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UPDATE MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8

  WHERE AND HOW DO YOU GET A MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8 UPDATE i select "visual c++", i choose,"smart device", i choose any template. i wait 30 seconds and i get small window that says "microsoft visual studio" "ok". thats it. this happens on all the templates i had a beta test installed. i used the beta test uninstall to remove it. i removed all the files on the remove list. i tried to used the beta uninstall now, and it does not see any removable files i like to believe the idea that the VS 2005 beta still has a file on the disk. i just reloaded vs 2005 twice and i have to same problem. ive reloaded before 15 times and i have the same problem i sometimes get the message"zl18xx plat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load tests: missing times and values in the table

  Hi, I'm just beginning to work with load tests. I have a question about Time/Value panel (not sure what it's called). What does it mean when there's a - (dash) in the record Does it mean that no measurements could be collected VS timed out Something else It looks something like this: 07:30 150 07:35 150 - - 07:45 150 I would really appreciate if someone could explain it to me. Thank you in advance. It means that no data was collected for that interval. It could be because the performance counter collecter is not able to collect the information within the sampling interval time. If this is happening, you will also see errors listed in the "Errors" table. Thanks, Rick ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems Creating Report

  Hi, I have only recently started playing around with Reporting Services (2005), and I am having some problems creating a basic report. What I want to display is a table which shows product names in the first column, sales for a specific period this year in the second column, and sales for the same period last year in the third column. The 'specific period' is determined by specifying a start week and an end week which I have set up as parameters. I have managed to produce the first 2 column with no trouble. However, for the third column I need to subtract 52 weeks from the parameters and use them as new parameter in the third column. Can anyone offer any suggestions Dave Ok, I manage ...Show All

• SQL Server Issues with database.dbo.tablename usage

  Hello, Can you guys think of all the possible reason why you wouldn't want 2 databases to cross reference each other using - database.dbo.tablename I can see one reason...Developers are going to go gagas using database.dbo.tablename for cross database updates/inserts etc. This will mean that the databases cannot scale anymore. What else Security issues, additional keystrokes required to use four part names, etc. I can also think of many equally valid reasons to separate data between different databases. Security issues, Backup/Restore Issues, etc. Saving Developers 'keystrokes' is a trivial concern and should be ignored. Make the decision based upon 'real' organizational needs and requirements.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Is it possible to plot a route with no instructions?

  Hi, 1. Is it possible to plot a route using map.route() and have it display with no instructions (so I can use my own custom push pins and text) 2. Is there another way to plot a route manually using a series of points and having them "attach" to local streets Thanks! To drop the current pushpins on your GetRoute you set a callback function and have to delete all pins, then add the ones you want to be on the map back again: map.GetRoute(locations[from],locations[to], VEDistanceUnit.Miles, VERouteType.Shortest, onGotRoute); function onGotRoute(route) { map.DeleteAllPushpins(); //add any pins back } John. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Link error when using STL w/ forms ?

  Hi, I've recently started using VC++ after a couple of years of linux development. I created a forms application and was hoping to use some stl code, however there seems to be problems linking. For instance, the following code: private: System::Void button3_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { std::vector<int> testvect; testvect.push_back(5); } results in the link errors: error LNK2028: unresolved token (0A00034F) "extern "C" int __cdecl _CrtDbgReportW(int,wchar_t const *,int,wchar_t const *,wchar_t const *,...)"

• .NET Development remoting configuration file with remote interface class

  Hello, I have a client-server structure which uses a Server-activated remote object. The client uses interface (and interface factory) to request from the server to instantiate the remote object. (Client should not know about the structure of remoteobject, except a few method calls) This structure works fine when i use built-in remoting configuration (in the code) on both the server and client side. but now i am trying to make the remoting configurations flexible (on both the server and the client side) using configuration files. I'm STUCK! now that the client remoting configuration is using the configuration file, the client has no choice but to use new() to instantiate remote object. This doesn't work with interface. The client only has ...Show All

• .NET Development Simple Update from a VS 2005 vb project to an mdb?

  Hi all, New to Visual Studio, and only have experience with asp and access. The problem I have is this. I can call nearly anything out of my database that I want, but for the life of me, I can't update even a single field. Now the worst part is this. The little program I'm working on to do the data access is just a simple console app, which passes the data on to clients. All is well except, how do I code an update to a field. For example, to update the field Email in the Clients table with a variable passed through dimmed as a simple string This is an example of the code I am using for my general select querries: Dim conn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=Delirium.mdb" Dim cmd A ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2003: Hangs when changing from debug to release code, or vice verca

  Visual Studio 2003: On a new Windows XP with VS2003 I have a wierd problem: When I change from debug to release in configuration mananger, Visual Studio will stop respondind and hang. The only solution is to kill the app in task manager. Currently I'm not able to build the project on the machine. The size of the project is probably around 200.000 lines of code... On other machines this change is not a problem. Anyone else seen this behavior Thanks I had the same problem in visual studio 2005. I had a windows service project with an installer project. I could change the installer to release, but not the windows service project. As soon as I pressed the close button or the close X in the upper corner after I have changed th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows.Form.DataGrid And Large Sets Of Data

  Hi there, I guess this is a FAQ-type of question, and I actually seen it asked for a number of times on these forums but nobody was able to answer it so I am giving it another try... I am having a large data set (in a broad sense), and would like to browse it using the mentioned above datagrid. I've implemented IList for my data (which resides in a simple binary file), and trying to use the grid with my implementation of IList. THE PROBLEM: DataGrid is sucking all the data into memory, and the app eventually runs out of memory. (I put a breakpoint in my item[] implementation and yes, it is called as many times as there are items in my list, actually a little more). This is not acceptable for 2 reasons: program runs out of memory, and if ...Show All
