• Software Development for Windows Vista Am I using GetFinalPathNameByHandle incorrectly?

  Hi, I'm looking into GetFinalPathNameByHandle and found a strange problem when accessing remote Samba shares. This is on RC2, build 5744. I created three symlinks, one pointing to a Windows XP SP2 share, one to a NT4 SP6 share, and one to a Samba 3.0.23a share, like this: > mklink /d win-xp-box-syml \\win-xp-box\share symbolic link created for [...] > mklink /d win-nt4-box-syml \\win-nt4-box\share symbolic link created for [...] > mklink /d samba-box-syml \\samba-box\share symbolic link created for [...] Using Vista's Explorer, all symlinks are working fine. I can double click them and change into the remote machine's shared directory, be it XP, NT4 or Samba. The same is true for cmd. I can cd into all three directori ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Negative value from GameTime.TotalRealTime.TotalSeconds?

  Has anyone ever seen TotalSeconds return a negative I'm using the TotalSeconds to keep track of the last time a button was pressed and only allowing another action after .5 seconds. This seems to work well except I've seen a few times where the button seems to stop responding. This last time I set a break point and I saw that TotalSeconds was negative. Any idea why Here is the line copied from the debugger: gameTime.TotalRealTime.TotalSeconds = -52.562761099999996 "gameTime" is the variable passed into the Update() method. It happens consistently for me after just slightly over 5 minutes. If you continuously print the values out to the console for example, they don't make any sens ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changes since a label was applied

  I'm trying to find out what's been checked into a branch of my repository since a particular label was applied. I'm trying: tf history /format:brief /version:L mylabel ~T /recursive * This does indeed produce a history, but exactly which items are included is a mystery to me - it's clear that it's not what I'm looking for though. I've also tried: tf difference /version:L mylabel ~T /format:brief /recursive . This shows which files have changed, but the output is mostly noise (listing names of directories where nothing's changed).  But what I really want to see is a list of changeset numbers and descriptions - not the list of files that are different. So, what's the secret sauce for getting history since a lab ...Show All

• .NET Development VB COM Singleton Code

  I have been wrestling with the problem of creating a COM automation server in .Net. The constraints I'm under are: - The component must be capable of being instantiated by either COM or another .Net module - No matter how many times it has been instantiated, there should only be one copy running at any one time I've made some progress on this, but I've run into an obstacle I haven't found a solution for. The following code works fine within a single AppDomain; however, when I try to use it across AppDomains I get an error that says: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type <>. Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; howeve ...Show All

  Could some one please direct me to a beiginners online tutorial for directX9 The tutorial needs to to be written in a .NET 2.0 language.

• Visual Studio Can I edit localy and upload changed version when doing check in

  I don't know if SourceSafe can do this, but how can I create a SourceSafe project that targets a project (web or win forms) stored on a server, so when the developer will be working on this project, he will get the latest version (download files to his computer), check out some files to block update on the server files that he is making changes, compile and run locally, and after testing he will check in and automatically upload files back to the server. Can SourceSafe or any source control software do this If no, what is the best way to work on a team environment where a project is stored on a server and everybody needs to have the working builds and debug from its own machine without compiling code that is still in development by othe ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Model missing some fields

  I hope someone can clarify what I observe below. When I add a certain Table into my report model, one of the fields is not automatically converted into an attribute, but I'm not sure what the exact pattern is. This table has 3 fields as its key, two of them get included and one does not. The one that does not, is also added as a Role as it is used in a relationship within the DSV (Data Source View). Does anyone know what rules BIS (Business Intelligence Studio) uses in deciding which fields to automatically convert using the wizard and which to skip Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or there is a workaround If anyone can shed any light in the issue, I'd greatly appreciate their comment. Thanks in advance and kindest rega ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Team Collaboration

  I am a Newbie to VS2005; when I create a test case it is stored on the local machine’s C: drive; once developed we want to be able to share our test cases among the multiple members of our test team and to manage them under document control.

• SQL Server Does SSRS 2005 use paginging when rendering report?

• Windows Forms Click once install error 'value not within range'

  Using express edition Could anyone explain why after using click once to install then reisntalling after making changes to program eventually at some point you will always get 'unable to start contact vendor' in log details its always 'value not within expected range' And then you simply cannot publish anything even a new project it says same thing. Now if I restore my computer to a previous restore point the problem is solved I can then use click once to install, reinstall etc untill it happens again. I think the problem occurs after I remove program form add/remove programs as I have been able to install reinstall quiter a few times but cant be sure to pinpoint when what causes this problem.

Chris, If you're using VS2005, then use the DataGridView rather than the DataGrid. You can set the column width easily with: this.MyDataGridView.Columns[0].Width = 300; If you're using VS2003, then you're stuck with the ...Show All
