• .NET Development Errors installing .Net F..work 3.0

  While trying to install >NET Framework 3.0 I got several errors: 1) NGEN.exe -- Entry point could not be found: "The procedure entry point CorGetSvc could not be located in the dynamic link library mscoree.dll" 2) Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: "Programs: C:\Documents a... This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." I stopped installation at this point.

• Connected Services Framework Difference between OH-SBE in 2.5 Vs 3.0?

  Urgently need this information how different is OH-SBE between CSF version 2.5 Vs 3.0. What all we should take care if we work with 2.5 as compared to 3.0. If you are trying to get something working out of the box (ohsbe 3.0), unfortunately there is no docs on that. There is lot of change when compared to 2.5, interms of how the flow of messages are and how template manifest is built. With the current release, ohsbe builds the manifest dynamically, after it gets the participants from the ProductServiceMapping file (which has the OrchestraionIDs (which are nothing but the bindingkeys of the VASs from the UDDI)). The "ohsbe services/bin" folder has the basic SessionTemplateManifest file, that i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device eumlator won't work

  I have been using Visual Studio 2005 for a short time and have been working on a simple mobile application. I am now to the point where I would like to see what it looks like on the actual device. I tried to start the device emulator by selecting Tools/Connect to Device and then picking a device. No matter which device I choose it fails after just a few seconds. It originally complained that I didn't have ActiveSync installed but I have now done that. The message I get is simply that the "connection failed". What am I doing wrong Thanks for any help... I did the repair but it doesn't appear that it changed anything. I still don't see any mention of the necessary protocols to run the emulators. Any other suggestions o ...Show All

• SQL Server DOCID Error when upgrading from to SQL 2005 FTK Size

  Hi, How to determine the size of FTK, please help, Since the DOCID map in SQL Server 2005 is stored in the database, the size requirement on the database side has increased, but has reduced on the full-text catalog side. If a database contains a full-text index, you need to ensure that the file group associated with the base table has enough space to accommodate the additional space requirement for full-text indexes. Use the following formula to estimate the space required. (2*FTK+ 34bytes) * RC Where: FTK = Full-Text Key Size RC = Row Count of the Table thanks, Imran. Imran, What specific DOCID error did you get The below text is directly from the SQL Server 2005 Up ...Show All

• Visual Basic my code is not working properly??

  My intention of this program is to move the mouse from its current position to the middle of a PictureBox and then simulates a mouse click.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Has anyone been able to run an XNA Game?

  I've seen many people sharing code and talking about Space Wars but no one really talking about running XNA Games. I do however see many people having problems running an XNA Game. People like me, have everything needed to run the game, a high Graphics card, and yet the game will not run. Those of you that are running games, do you know why Space Wars *is* the only XNA game right now... so any problems you are reading about are with that game. If you want help you will have to explain what the problem is that you see "the game will not run" - does not help ...Show All

• Visual Studio Performance issue witth debugging a mixed C++/CLI dll

  I've inherited some old C++ code, for which I've put a thin C++/CLI wrapper around. When I use the new managed wrapper I''ve discovered a slight but reasonable performance penalty (as expected). Unfortunately when I try to debug the application, I find that performance goes down significantly, as much as 10 times slower. So although this isn't a dealbreaker for my current project, it does make the development effort harder. Is this expected If not, are there any common common mistakes I might be making Does the debugger works as expected for other projects, try creating a sample console application and check the performance. Have you defined any symbol path, is it a network path, do you have _NT_SYMBOL_PATH defined on yo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista uac elevation by a service

  Hi, I have a service running as local system which sometimes has to spawn another process running as the currently logged on administrator user. The spawned process needs elevated admin rights in order to perform its task which could be a software installation or configuration job. The question is; how does the service do this without the user having to click the uac dialog The problem is that the user may be logged on but could be away (perhaps the job takes place at night) so there could be nobody to click the dialog. The way it works at the moment is that the service gets the token of the admin user then calls createprocessasuser. The spawned process, of course, runs under restricted admin rights which are insufficient for the ta ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to detect Sound Device in voice chat?

  How can I detect the sound device Which "namespace" is required And what type is its input sound data is it binary How can I change the sound data to binary Thank you for answer. You need DirectX SDK to do such type of thing. In C# there is nothing like that to do what you want. You have to use Direct Sound's namespaces in C# to do such type of thing.
