• Smart Device Development DataReceived/SerialPort Troubles

  I am building code for the PocketPC to interface with a chemical sensor to poll and report on chemical agents in the air. I am having a devil of a time getting the DataReceived event to pass content (through an Invoke) to the main thread. When I write an "N" to the device, it is supposed to send back the following string to the UI, which represents the chemical sensor types that are housed in the unit: "CO VOC H2S LEL OXY" When I send an "R" to the device, it is supposed to send the current readings for each of the sensors as a string that looks like this: "00000 00000 00000 00000 00207". I have all of this working successfully as a WIN32 application, but it doesn't port cleanly to the .NET 2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BUG: specifying different collations in different configurations causes mixing of collations!

  I have a database, which must be deployed once for Latin1_General_CI_AS and once for Croatian_CI_AS. As you see below, the various build-configurations set the collation appropriately. Trying to deploy in VS causes the DB collation to ALWAYS be scripted to Latin1... (no matter which value I set for DeploymentCollationPreference) and also all tables and columns to bescripted to Croatian... - actually for latin1 I wanted to have NO collation scripted at all, only for croatian deploy. this seems to be a bug in RTM of db-prof. Here the dbproj file (excluding the file-ItemGroups): <Project DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003 "> <PropertyGroup> <C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploy windows users to different servers

  Hi All, I have an issue with deploying a SQL 2000 database project to different servers, each using windows authentication. I have a user against in the database project called "User1". This has to be tied into the login "COMPUTER\User1", where computer will be the name of the server I am deploying the project to. The problem is that creating a user using sp_grantdbaccess requires a login name, but the login name can't be determined till deployment time because the login name will change based on the server name. So I keep getting the error 'User1' is not a valid login or you do not have permission" . Does anyone have a work around for this Other then blogs and this forum are there any good online resources for D ...Show All

• .NET Development scrolled controls location - relative to what's currently in view?

  I'm finding this a bit perplexing. Here's the situation. I'm making a control which has a dynamic # of buttons (named B0, B1, B2). Each button has an imagelist assocated with it (LV0, LV1, LV2). At any one time only one listView is visible, the location for the list view is imediatly below it's corresponding button. If you've ever used MS Visio, it's the behaviour of the stencil toolbox. ( http://www.inspired.org/assets/images/Visio.jpg ) for what I'm talking about. So for our example, 'Button1' is the current active one. So ListView1 is showing, other listviews are hidden. [Button0] [Button1] [ListVIew1] [Button2] if you were to then click Button0 you would expect it to render like this (colored red, black, blue to make it mor ...Show All

• Community Chat Microsoft and its 'new' Halo: Wars RTS Game, and Derelict Studios

  Well, as most have probably heard, Microsoft has come out with a 'new' Real Time Strategy game called Halo: Wars, a game to be made for the X-Box 360. I quote 'new', because it is not a new idea, nor shall all the credit go to those people who work in Microsoft. A Modification for the game C&C Generals, called Halogen, was a mod in the works for approximatly 3 years, where people from the community pitched in numerous hours of work and labour for the good of the  community, and a playable release was soon to come for those of us desperate to download it. Microsoft came in close to before the release and forced the memebers of Derelict Studios to close down Halogen and halt all progress on the game, and close down the ...Show All

• SQL Server Rules and defaults

  Hi, Can any one provide me information on creating rules and defaults in SQL Server2005, when i tried right clicking rules or defaults in management studio instead of new option i'am getting only refresh option. This feature was working smoothly in sql2000.....I'am trying this on Microsoft SQL Server2005 Standard Edition. thanks in advance Mat Rules and defaults are deprecated in 2005. You should now use constraints, which you define in the table designer. Rules and defaults are still supported, but you have to create them manually by writing the code yourself. You cannot create them in Management Studio because you should not be using them any more. This comes from the 2000 documentation "Rules are a backward-com ...Show All

• Visual C++ Pointer dereferencing causes crash, only in Release mode, x86 Assembly related

  Hi. My application reads a file and suddenly it crashes when executing an x86 assembly command. The assembly command dereferenced a word pointer and suddenly crashed. The error message from Windows is : The instruction at "0x00421121" referenced memory at "0x041db000". The memory could not be "read". The instruction is a simple one : movd mm3, [esi] where mm3 is used to hold temporary values and esi is the offset of a DWORD within the file. If the application is build using Debug profile, it does not crash. Only when built with Release profile with optimizations does it crash. My guess is that the value of [esi] is 0xFF and when in Debug mode, this value is automatically replaced with 0x00 while in Release mo ...Show All
