• Visual FoxPro Server 2000 v 2003

  Hi all, I'm working on a multi-user FoxPro product across a network. Up to recently we used a 2000 server and everything was fine. Since we've moved to a 2003 server we've ran into problems. We get 3 testers working on the same network tables and within a few minutes the application hangs and seems to lock the tables. The really frustrating thing is that it never hangs in the same area or on the one computer. Our error messages are very vague as well. Basically I was wondering if other people had problems going from Server 2000 to 2003. Is there maybe extra security or configuration in 2003 that 2000 doesn't have. Any help would be much appreciated, I have been doing tests on my app on 2000 Server, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio Hosting process

  Hi folks, I've been using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition for the last couple of weeks. It was working perfectly fine until I peformed a registry cleanup (however, I'm not sure if this is the reason for the problem to occur). Whenever I tried  to debug applications, I got an error message which read: Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging. The binding handle is invalid. I fixed this problem by navigating to Projects > (Project Name) Properties > Debug and disabling 'Visual Studio hosting process'. This fixed the problem for good. However, I was wondering:  What does Visual Studio hosting process do How would disabling it affect Visual Studio Why does this, " ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Animated Gifs

  Hi Everybody!!! It seems that there is a problem with Internet Explorer 7: I have a web page with animated gifs that works fine with Internet Explorer 6... but it seems that these animated gifs don't work well with Internet Explorer 7. Now, from the begining: I created a web page in which I use some animated gifs to roll-up buttons. I use the traditional approach in which I load the gif image first into an array, as follows: document.images[this.lngImageIndex].src = this.arrAnimationLib[this.lngNextAnimationSequence].imgAnimation.src; Where: "this" is the typical JavaScript class implementation, arrAnimationLib is an array of objects, who then they have "imgAnimation" as a property which is an obje ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can I obtain from a service implementation instance a reference to its Host ?

  I'm opening several services with a thread pool. The services are declared as InstanceContextMode.Single. I want to know from my service implementation when a service host state becomes opene d. I can not use the OperationContext.Current.Host, cause it is only relevent in a operation method call. Using the InstanceContext and giving (this) in the constructor did'nt work either, the state remained Created all the time and did'nt change to Open. You can subscribe to the host's Opened event: using System; using System.ServiceModel; using System.Collections.Generic; [ServiceContract] public interface ITest { [OperationContract] string Echo(string text); } [ServiceBehavio ...Show All

• SQL Server How to dynamically assign database name in query or store procedure?

  Hello, I am not sure if this possible, but I have store procedures that access to multiple databases, therefore I currently have to hardcode my database name in the queries. The problem start when I move my store procedures into the production, and the database name in production is different. I have to go through all my store procedures and rename the DBname.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Subscription not available on my Xbox!

  Hi! Is there any reason why the Creators Club Subscription is not showing up on my Xbox I live in Norway, but I've not read anything about any region restrictions on this download. I want in on the fun too! Peter you only get the dashboard update showing up in the games downloads if you haven't installed the update. Perhaps you selected no by mistake. Normally the dashboard update is not visible. Have you tried installing it I'm willing to bet this is your problem as I have had a similar issue with VGA looking washed out after accidentally refusing a patch. The patch then shows up as a downloadable game. I'm not sure if the patches are cumulative i.e. you only need install the latest one. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Annotation function of the URL API broken

  The URL API specifies an annotation parameter for the scratch pad: sp=an.latitude_longitude_title_description It should allow you to add a push pin at a specific latitude and longitude. It definitely used to work, but does not appear to now. Has this function been disabled or changed Or can someone provide an example URL where this works Same problem here. I used to have a scratch pad but now it doesn't display using the url syntax. When you enter a url that includes a cp parameter and a style of birdseye the view always zoomed to the users last viewed area.
