• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Reading and Writing image "Rating" metadata

  I'm looking for a way to read and modify "Rating" metadata that Vista uses to rate image files. I'm able to read the rating although I noticed that the rating is written in several places in metadata... and I'm not sure which Vista is using... it looks like all of them are changed at the same time and are kept in sync... so do I have to modify all of them to keep them in sync /xmp/Rating / xmp/xap:Rating /app1/{uint=0}/{uint=18246} When I'm trying to modify the rating... nothing happens...

• Visual C# Overriding static methods?

  Consider the following situation: Two classes, B and C, share a lot of properties. They therefore both inherit from a common class, A. Of course we can call B(...) and C(...) to get a single B- and C instance respectively. On both classes I now want a static method, GetAllInstances(), that returns a List of all possible instances of the class. That is: The static method B.GetAllInstances(...) should return a List of all possible B-instances and similar with C. The code to produce all possible instances are very similar for both B and C and only differs on simple parameters, say a string named myDatabaseTableName. Therefore it is obvious to implement GetAllInstances() in the base class A and let it get the myDatabaseTableName property from ...Show All

• .NET Development FileSystemWatcher.Created does not fire for files on a Unix NFS Share

  I have a directory on a Windows server that is also a NFS share (with Services for Unix). I created a FileSystemWatcher and configured for the .Created event. When i copy a file to that directory locally on the windows machine the event fires. When i copy a file to that directory from a unix box using the NFS share the event does not fire. The file does show up in the directory though. Here is the code I am using to create the FileSystemWatcher.      FileSystemWatcher filewatcher = new FileSystemWatcher ();      filewatcher.Path = @"C:\FromUnix" ;      filewatcher.Filter = "*.*" ;      filewatcher.Created += new FileSyste ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dialog question

  Hi I'm new to windows programming. I need to know how to get a user input, using a dialog or something similar (like scanf() from stdio.h) And only C code if it's possible. :) Thanks in advance. In that case, the easiest way I see to do this is to create a windows win32 .exe instead of a console app. Then set up your windowproc and create a window using CreateWindowEx and RegisterClassEx You can then create a CEdit class to represent the Edit control and capture its messages in your window proc. Give me a few minutes and I'll write you a quick example.... -Reza ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item Field Naming Conventions

  We have two camps for naming conventions. 1) Add the Work Item name in front of the field name so you can easily identify which Work Item field this field was for. E.g. <FIELD name= " ChangeRequest _ApplicationLevel" refname= "MyCompany.ChangeRequest.ApplicationLevel" type= "String" reportable= "dimension" > Then for Common fields shared among Work Items this camp does: E.g. <FIELD name= " Common _BusinessUnit" refname= "MyCompany.Common.BusinessUnit" type= "String" reportable= "dimension" > 2) The second camp does not have Work Item specific parts in the field name. E.g. <FIELD name= "A ...Show All

• SQL Server Show only the five first...

  Hi!! I have a bar chart and the data are agrupped by Folders (Category groups) and by FileType (Series Groups)... I want to show only the 5 folders with the biggest amount of files... how i could do it All suggestions will be wellcome... Thx!! I don't believe that it is possible. However, there are other options. 1. Create another dataset that uses an aggregate in the query and returns the top 5 values and their associated Folder name, and then use the results in a filter of operator type 'Like' on the second dataset or data region or use the results in as a query parameter. For example, SELECT TOP 5 Folders FROM TableName GROUP BY Folders ORDER BY Count(Files) DESC 2. Or, you can change your quer ...Show All

• SQL Server Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function.

  This is driving me absolutley crazy. This function returns ProductIDs stripped out from a memo field based on a check on Product Type (which is also stripped for the checking) and returns a list of ProductIDs based on the type I'm checking for, in other words the @FileFormat The error : Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function. I am passing 2 types of ProductDescriptions to my function below. This function returns ProductIDs by Type, stripped out of a large varchar field. The problem I'm having is that I have 2 checks that check whether the ProductID is MP3 or WAV. The second check is failing. The 2 types of possible incoming ProductDescriptions for example are: 'These fully-orchestrated royalty free musi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Another schema compare problem

  I am facing a strange problem with schema comparison. Here is what i am doing. I have Imported schema to my db project. After I imported the schema objects, the database got a lot of changes. I wanted to run a schema compare again and identify the changes done after I imported the schema objects. When I run the schema compare, to my surprise, the comparison results shows certain tables and stored procedures with a "create" action, even though those objects exist in my db project. I could see those files in the solution explorer. But the schema comparison results still show them with a "create" action, indicating that i need to create them.

• Windows Forms StatusBar ToolTip Crashing

  Hello All, Quick Background: I have a UserControl that uses a StatusBar and ToolTip to allow a user to navigate data displayed in the control. On the main application there are a number of buttons that will create a new Form at runtime and place a static instance the main applications single instance of my control on the newly create Form. This was done because generating the UserControl is complicated and costly as far as memory and rendering is concerned. The Problem: If I place my control on one of these newly created Forms and the user hovers over an item that has a ToolTip it works fine the first time. The problem comes in that when the user closes the form the UserControl is removed and the Form disposed, and a user will click ano ...Show All
