• .NET Development Query an online database?

  Ok I am trying to write a program that will grab a list of all the AddOns that I have installed for World of Warcraft and then it will query at least one of the UI websites to see if a newer version is out and if so download it and wait for me to install it. My question is how can I get the information about the addon from the net I have read about Web Services a little bit and after search 2 out of the 3 I have found no documentation about a web service at all. Is there another route I can take Ok I will research that, but I have one more question. the three websites I am trying to use are wowinterface.com, ui.worldofwar.net, and cursegaming. So how can I find out if their website supports the XML feed w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Iam start to learn Visual Basic, after can desin First simple Project The Program tell me install MSDN

  Iam start to learn Visual Basic, after can desin First simple Project The Program tell me install MSDN , Iam stopped , I can not get the MSDN . please iam primary user ,do not laugh , just help me. thank you Hi, Gamal, I'm not sure I understand your question, but it sounds like you are having problems determining how to install MSDN. I'm guessing that you are using the Express version of VB, since the boxed version of the product come with an MSDN disk which you can install just by putting the disk in. For the Express version, there is a "Getting Started" kit which gets installed with Visual Basic Express (which includes all of the starter kits), and during installation you also have the option of downloading a 200MB MSD ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DDL for which database?

  I know that only Visual Studio Architect Team edition generates SQL. My question is for which databases can DDL be generated. Specifically, is it generated for: o MySQL o MS Access o SQL Server other If, as Richard suggested, you're asking about which databases are supported by Team Edition for Database Professionals, the answer for our initial release is that we support SQL Server. As we look to the next release, one of the primary considerations is supporting additional databases. I don't believe that there's a list of what will be supported out of the box, and what won't, but I know there is discussion of allowing third parties to plug in their own providers. ...Show All

• .NET Development Asynch Web services???? WTF!!!

  Sorry bout the title but I am getting pretty flustered. Essentially I am trying to find a simple answer. I am currently trying to develop a WS interface using... VS2005 WSE 1.0 I know weird combo but that is because IBM refuses to support anything else (DIME). Anyway I am trying to figure out how to do a web service Asych and everything I have read says I need a line similar to service.HelloWorldCompleted += new HelloWorldCompletedEventHandler(this.HelloWorldCompleted); However, this won't compile cause the WSDL doesn't make a function called HelloWorldCompleted.

• .NET Development App config setting to force 32 bit execution for .Net 2.0 apps

  Hi All, We are using some legacy third party components which only have 32 bit versions of it. We need to force our .Net application to run in 32 bit on x64 environement. We do not want to make changes to build process and we are building as "Any CPU" options. Is there any configuration level setting (Similar to forceRuntime setting) that forces application to run in 32 bit mode Thanks for Help Salim One of the ways to achieve this is perhaps running corflags against the binaries on x64. A good description of this utility(besides MSDN documentation) is at http://www.request-response.com/blog/CategoryView,category,CLR.aspx The easier,simpler way is to change "anycpu" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Locking Mouse

  Hi ive been looking for days to find the code that will lock "Block" the mouse move event from being processed... So far i've tried the code: actHook= new UserActivityHook (); actHook.OnMouseActivity+= new MouseEventHandler (MouseMoved); public void MouseMoved( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { Cursor .Position = Ace; } where Ace is the point that the mouse was at last. This doesn't work unfortunatly as i can still move the mouse around... That event is hooked with a class called UserActivityHook (declared as actHook) (not my class) UserActivityHook public event MouseEventHandler OnMouseActivity; I'm thinking that Cursor .Position is only repainting the cursor and while the mouse ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem with TabControl & DataGridView

  Hi I’m creating my first ever program (Contact manager) with Visual Basic 2005 express and sql express. I have a TabControl with 3 pages. First table (Contacts) is on the first page of Tab Control (DataGridView) and the second Table (Children) is on the second page of TabControl.

The problem is that I’m not able to hide ChildrenID on the second page. But when I move the children DataGridView to the first page of my tabcontrol the childrenID is hided as it should be.

• SQL Server "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'dbnetlib.dll'."

  every time when I opened the connection from my windows CE4.2 device to sql server I got the error "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'dbnetlib.dll'. My OS is MS CE4.2, I've installed Compact Framework 2.0 and SQL client. It worked fine at OS CE5.0 but not at CE4.2. My application is working correctly, but when I started the connection I received this error. Any idea thanks, Jan If you indeed have SQL Client installed properly, I would guess some dependencies required for it to function are missing from the OS image.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Pipes won't work with limited accounts

  I am using Named Pipes to commmunicate between a Windows Service and one or more client applications (depending on the number of users logged in). Everything works fine if the client app runs under a user with administrator rights.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Internet Time Update

  The internal clock of my PC is very slow. I need very high precission time in my PC while I am running some time sensitive VBE applications. Can the PC time, the one that Now gives out, be updated with an Internet Timer Server, through VBE I know how to do this manually by going in to Date and Time Properties. I need it programmatically. I guess it is just a matter of knowing the protocol these Time servers use. Thanks, Antonio   These time setting calibrations with clocks on the net have protocols which are pretty complex. They make requests about four time and look at round trip latencies and time averages. There is any clr code that specifically does ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista GEM Plus USB Card readers

  Does anyone know if there is a newer version of the Gemplus USB card reader drivers It doesn't appear to work at the moment with Vista. That said, I haven't been able to uninstall the old drivers to even put new ones on yet.. Vista just doens't uninstall it when you try. You will need to contact Gemplus for support of their driver on vista. Are you running vista 64-bit All 64-bit drivers have to be digitally signed for Windows Vista 64-bit editions. Unsigned drivers are not supported and cannot be installed on 64-bit Windows Vista. The digital signature check is done both during installation and driver load time. Again you will need to contact Gemplus to provide new drivers. http://www.gemplus.com/ ...Show All
