• SharePoint Products and Technologies Display images from AD on the SharePoint site (searchresults and profiles/mysite)

  Is it possible - out of the box - to display the images stored in our Active Directory on the MySite/Profiles pages and the searchresults I know it's possible in SPS2003, but it doesn't look quite the same in MOSS 2007. I havn't put much research in it, but if anyone has got an idea I'd be most greatful. Thanks! http://blog.henryong.com/2007/02/21/importing-user-pictures-from-active-directory-to-moss-2007/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Not allowed to pick directory for a new windows application project

  When I am using Visual Studio 2005 professional doing VB programming I am not able to specify what directory I want the solution to be created in when I create a new windows application. I had the express edition installed previously. Anyone have any idea why I am not allowed to specify a directory for the solution Thanks in advance. You should be able to, what options are you presented with when you click on File > new project/solution you should get a dialog box coming up with project choices, and then entering a name for the project (as well as creating a directory for this project) and selecting the location to store the project. ...Show All

• Visual C# General OOP Question on Formatting

  I have a general question on "how do i do this" using best practices of OOP. My functional requirement is to implement a standard response formatter in my code. This standard response formatter will take one parameter and format it into a standard response, for simplicity sake "ABC" + parameter, and return it to the client/consumer. What is the best way to ensure that a consistent format is implemented. My current code implements and Interface, IStandardResponseFormatter, and requires that subscribers implement a method StandardResponse. The only problem with this approach is that the enforement of the actual format ("ABC" + parameter) is not enforced. How do I enforce this And is this an overall good appr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Game Programming

  Hello, I'm 13 years old and me and a few of my friends are going to try creating a video game. Since I knew the most about computers and are very good with them, everoyone decided that I should be in charge of programming. I know of a couple other kids in my school I could ask to help with programming, but I need to ask a few questions first, if it isn't too much trouble. 1) I know that C# and Visual Basic would be the best languages to start with. I already have some knowledge with Basic. My 1st question is is C# as good as C++ for 3-D and Direct X Game programming 2) I have a 2 year old Dell Dimension 2350 at home with a 50 Gig hard drive, 30 Gig to Windows 20 to Linux, 500 Meg ram, and an Intel pentium 4 processor.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office [Word] Runtime error on loading custom add-in

  Hello, I have a problem with loading my own add-in after I deployed the setup and installed the add-in. When I run the add-in directly out of visual studio it all works fine. However when I generate the setup.exe and use it to install the add-in it won't display in Word. When I go to the COM-addins dialog in Word I can see that it is indeed installed. When I click on it, i see the message: "Not loaded. There was a runtime-error ...... ". My guesses are that it has to do with security or something. I already put the macro's security to the lowest level, and followed the directions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537179(office.11).aspx to add something for the security.

• SQL Server Using Variable/Expression to Log with Parent/Child Packages

  I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package. The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages. The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file ...Show All
