• Visual Studio Team System Invalid postback or callback argument when trying to add a Web part

  I was trying to change the lay-out of the shared page of the sharepoint portal. After adding a webpart i got a screen where i selected all the web-parts and after that the startpage of portal did not contain any webparts anymore. When adding new webparts to the startpage of portal the following error occurred. Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"/> in configuration or <%@ Page EnableEventValidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScr ...Show All

• Visual Studio HTML Help from .HLP Projects

  I have a series of projects to convert from the older .hlp style to .chm. The HTML Help workshop has a convert option, but it fails most of the time for graphics. I use HTML Workshop to convert the .hpj file to corresponding .hhp relates files. All seems to go fine, but virtually all the graphics images in the original .rtf files are missing from the fiinal .chm result. In some cases, it works fine, but that's the minority of cases. Any ideas Ed Yes, unfortunately there is not a convenient one-to-one conversion mechanism in the basic tools we provide. If you use a tool like RoboHelp, you may be able to more successfully import your .hlp source and convert it to an HTML Help project. ...Show All

• Visual Basic How does one hide a ListView column?

  Is it possible to hide a listview column I don't want to remove it, and I want to process the data in it. I just want to hide it. The problem is that the column will contain potentially sensitive information, and I want to be able to protect against shoulder surfers. The problem is, I cannot find a ListView.Columns( n ).Hide() method or a ListView.Columns( n ).Visible property. Is this possible to do, or do I just have to remove the column It doesn't seem like it should be all that hard. Thanks, Mark Warner. Hi! Did you find a solution to this I have the exact same question and apparantly no solution :-( Thank you in advance Kai Fransson ...Show All

• SQL Server programmatically setting package variables in job step command line

  We are trying to start a server job running an SSIS package and supply some parameters to the package when we start the job using SMO. What we have now is this: string cmdLine = job.JobSteps[0].Command; cmdLine += @" /SET \Package\GetGroupRatingYear_Id.Variables[User::RatingId].Value;1"; cmdLine += @" /SET \Package\GetGroupRatingYear_Id.Variables[User::GroupId].Value;1"; cmdLine += " /SET \\Package.Variables[User::period].Value;\"" + periodEndDate + "\""; job.JobSteps[0].Command = cmdLine; job.Start(); It appears that when the job is run, the modified command line is not used.

• Visual C# Comparing values in an array and SqlDataReader?

  Hi ya, I'm trying to compare an array and the values of SqlDataReader and I can't actually figure it out. I used to work with ADO and new to .net I want to compare them and then if the values are not matched to the SqlDataReader, I want them to store it into a recordset but there is no recordset in Ado.net plus i think my logic has some flaws as well. Cheers The code: for ( int i=0; i <=countme-1; i++) { myCommand.CommandText = "select * from tbl_empDetails" ; SqlDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(); while (myReader.Read()) { if (myReader.GetString(abc) != SID[ i ]) { Response.Write(SID[1] + " " + givenName[1] + "<BR>" ); } el ...Show All

• Visual C++ Inactive Process slows down in XP.

  I have an observation to share and would like if someone can come up with explanation and any way around to fix it. Actually I have an application running on XP that retrieves data from db and displays a graphical representation of this data. This operation is performed on request and this application is a small part of a large system having other processes more agressively running. So it is a very common case that this application's process remain idle for long time and then on request performs its operation and goes back to its inactive state. Initially when I start the system and plot the data trend it work pretty efficiently, but when I perform the same operation (same amount of data with same trend configuration) after for exampl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Will build #5536.16385 of Vista be compatible with D3D10 in August'06 SDK?

  Hi, Just checked my email and it seems that beta testers (maybe MSDN people as well) can now get another pre-RC1 build of Vista. The August'06 SDK states that the D3D10 CTP will only work with RC1 of Vista and the other recent pre-RC1 build wasn't good enough. So, just wondering if anyone here knows if 5536 will work with the August SDK or if we still need to stick with Beta-2 and the June SDK. Would save me a lot of time before I go and download 5gb of ISO's and spend a few hours setting up my test machine... Cheers, Jack Ralf Kornmann wrote: I haven't seen x64 ISOs for this build so far.
