• Visual Studio Express Editions Preserving File byte value - Help.

  My application reads and writes files of any type as array<wchar_t>, through the Binary Reader and Writer. The intent is to read in most of the information and then write it out to a new file unchanged. I find however that this doesn't work with all files. Files with text characters - such as the .sln file of VC++ 2005 express- work fine. However files such as the .suo file do not. Information is lost entirely. The final file sizes should be identical but in fact the output file is smaller by at least 1K. The application reads into one buffer and then writes out to the new file from the same buffer. The buffer is quite large (30K bytes) compared to the file (17K) so it should read in the whole file and spit most of it out without a p ...Show All

• SQL Server Default Report Server Web Page

• Visual Studio Express Editions Unable to Update db in Visual Web Express

  When using Visual Web Express 2005 I am able to insert/create new entries in the database but when I edit the update command dose not change the data and there is know apparent error. I have seen similar issues with Visual Basic Express 2005 but the solutions there do not seem to apply to Visual Web Express. Can any one shed some light on this I was able to resolve the problem on my own. The problem was I had some fields that allowed NULLs as their initial state. This had no effect until I tried to Edit the data. The SQL Update Command that was executed: UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Vequipment] SET [Location] = @Location, [Platform] = @Platform, [InterSummary] = @InterSummary, WHERE [LabID] = @original_LabID AN ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual studio 2005 and windows vista buisness edition

  I have windows vista buisness edition, visual studio pro 2005 and when I'm trying to create new web application I get error: front page extensions are not installed..., I activated windows authentication and I'm running vs2005pro as administrator, but the error still ocurrs. I know, that here have already been topic about this, but this solution doesn't work for me ;/ Well, the only reason I can think of why you would get this error is if you try to create a project on a remote server that does not have the Frontpage Server Extensions installed. As far as I know you can not install the FSE on Vista and you do not even need it when you are creating web sites locally. ...Show All

• SQL Server Embedded Images Not Displaying properly

  Hi, I have a question which i hope someone can help with. When using an embedded image stored on a server in my reporting services report i can see it when proeviewing the report but when it is deployed it no longer is shown on the report. If i try this with an image stored on my local drive it works fine in both preview and deployed mode. I am wondering why this could be My initial thoughts are that the security on the file stored on the server may not allow access when the report is run in a deployed state yet it is accessible to the report developper as they have access to the server directory. Does this sound feasible and if not can someone let me know as to why this may not work. Many thanks, Grant G ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista designerHost uses the wrong activity designer

  I have the code shown below to assign a custom designer to my custom activity. The activity type shown is the type I use as the root activity type in my workflow. When I later look at the rootDesigner using the following code IRootDesigner rootDesigner = designerHost.GetDesigner(designerHost.RootComponent) as IRootDesigner ; then I can see that the RootComponent is of type SequentialWorkflowDesigner and NOT of my custom type WorkflowActivityDesigner. The constructor of WorkflowActivityDesigner is not being called. Why does the designerHost not use my custom designer or How can I change the designer used for the root component ----------------- [ Designer ( typeof ( WorkflowActivityDesigner ))] ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MS Project file in Sharepoint marked as read-only

  Hi, We are experiencing the same problem as this person (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=8011&SiteID=1). Even though no one has the project file open, MS Project says that the file is in use and is locked for editing (but no specific person is named, like when someone really has the file open). This happens even when I am the only one editing a MS Project file. After X number of minutes, the file can be opened in read-write mode again. This bug makes it practically impossible for us to use Sharepoint as it makes us re-saving documents in other filenames to be able to save the files, which means we could as well use a file system to save our documents in. Now, my colleague has dug up a KB article (http://support.mi ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot remotely login to SQL Express since last windows update

  Since today (after installing the latest Windows Updates !on my local machine!) I cannot login to a SQLExpress instance remotely; stating that it cannot find the server/instance. The weird thing is: it only happens when I want to login to the non-default instance (sqlexpress 2005) (<IP>\<instance>). When i'm using the default instance (msde 2000 or sqlexpress 2005 on another machine) (<IP>) it seems to work fine. Does this have something to do with the windows updates, or is it just a coincedence Thanks in advance, Remco Ros we didn't install the updates on the server (yet) only on the client, so it must be a client thing.

• SQL Server using sql server Replication(How can I do that?)

  I have 2 servers using same database, Example: SERVER1\MSDN and SERVER2\MSDN I need to update msdn database customer table. When I add 1 customer server1, msdn databases then same customer have to automatically update server2 msdn database customer table. Is that possible to do that using sql server Replication How can I do that I need to do that with out using sp, triggers... Yes, replication can do this. If changes are only flowing one way, transactional replication can work, if changes need to flow both ways, then merge replication work, or peer-to-peer transactional replication can work. You can read more about replication in Books Online - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151198.aspx . ...Show All

• Smart Device Development UdpClient - Compact and Full Framework

  Hi, Please take a look at the code below. When compiled as a Windows application (.NET 2.0), the Send method will not succeed when there is no network connection. The System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host) is thrown. However, when the same code is compiled with Compact Framework 2.0, the Send method always succeeds! Is there a way to mimic the Full Framework behavior on Compact Framework My application is supposed to send GPS messages using UDP. If the sending fails (no connectivity for example), the message should be stored, and send later. Since the messages will be sent quite frequently, I don't want to manually check connectivity before each call of the Send method. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista changing activity value at runtime

  Does anyone knows how to set property for an activity at runtime I have a state machine workflow with State A and Sate B. State B has first activity as Delay activity and I want to set TimeoutDuration of this activity while I am in State A. Can someone tell me how to do it I have added a code activity in State A and in its execute method I want to set TimeoutDuration of State B's Delay activity. Code snippet would be a great help. Thanks, Hiten Hi Hiten, as I understood, you want to set the timeout duration of state B, when you are still in the previous state A. So you may use this example: // Code Activity in State A : private void codeActivity1_ExecuteCode( object sender, Even ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tool for auto HLSL Generation?

  Are there any tools out there to enable the graphical building of a shader network, such as in Autodesk Maya's Hypershade tool or Softimage XSI's RenderTree tool, which can enable you to use a GUI to set up an object's basic material properties and then automatically generate the appropriate HLSL shader fragments needed to reproduce the material effect in your game without having to manually write HLSL files Certainly, if you want to create complex shader effects, you would need to be able to edit the HLSL or manually create new custom HLSL files, but for creating HLSL files to render basic, standard material properties, there really should be a graphical tool to take some of the work and difficulty out of it. Such a tool should allo ...Show All
