• Windows Search Technologies Searchprotocolhost.exe fails with "outlook express could not be started"

  Office 2007 prompted me to install Windows Desktop Search 3   and I did that.   Since then, once in a while (every 10 minutes I guess), searchprotocolhost.exe is showing an error message box with the following text: "Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to open the Outlook Express message store. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Contact Microsoft support for further assistance. (0x80004005, 183)"   My Outlook Express is running just fine.   My computer is not out of memory and I don't have any disk that is full. I'm on Windows Server 2003 SP1.   Is there a way to fix or workaround this issue   Thanks, Florin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot start debugging because the debug target ... is missing

  Using VS 2005 Pro / Visual Basic. "Build" --> an .exe appears in /bin. (Build successful; no errors or warnings.) Right after that, F5 --> an error message "Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target ... is missing...". Checking: an .exe misteriously disappeared(!) from /bin. Immediately after that F5 -> application runs, an .exe appears in /bin. (Occasionally, would take several more F5's.) Anybody has an idea what is happening Y.Fradkin I had the same problem and the real solution was embarrassingly easy: If, in your project, Visual Studio has never successfully compiled the program (before finding the first bug), you will get this error.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums MS Office document and image writer print driver

  Besides removing this feature from Office during setup, is there a process to remove this virtual printer from 300 users with roaming profiles on an active directory network We are having an issue with this printer assuming the "default printer" selection for our users. As a work around we have changed their default printer, but after they reboot or log off / on it has defaulted back to the MS Ofc doc and image writer printer. Hello, I have the opposite problem. I have users who have had the icon for the Office Document Image Writer deleted under Printers and Faxes. You mention above that it is easy to reinstall the virtual printer. Could you point me to the directions for reinstallation pleas ...Show All

• .NET Development Unregistered custom channel still being used!

  I created a custom client formatter sink to pass some information. I can create it as follows: BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider binarySink = new BinaryClientFormatterSinkProvider(); ClientSecuritySinkProvider secureSink = new ClientSecuritySinkProvider(username, password); secureSink.Next = binarySink; _tcpChannel = new TcpClientChannel("tcp", secureSink); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(_tcpChannel); Activator.GetObject(...) This works the first time. However, if I call: ChannelServices.UnregisterChannel(_tcpChannel) and repeat the procedure with a different username and password, it still uses the first channel I registered (even though it has been unregistered!) I verified that the new channel is being crea ...Show All

• SQL Server What's the best approach to Time-based checking from app. to SQL Server?

  Hi I have an VB.NET application connected to a SQL Server Express. I want to let the application to run in either "Normal mode" or "Holiday mode" according to current weekday is normal day or state public holiday. My approach is to find out all the public holidays in a year and enter them into a Holiday Table. Then some code in my application constantly check the current weekday against the one in the holiday table, if matches, the application goes into holiday mode. This approach is not perfect as "State public holidays" are confirmed by the state government in the current year and the coming year. So state public holidays are unconfirmed for the third year afterward. The system is required by client to suppo ...Show All

• SQL Server Property DefaultSchema is not available for Database [DatabaseName]

• Visual Studio Team System VSS Coverter crashes during migration.

  I have been trying to migrate the VSS data to TFS Source Control. Initially I tried with full database (around 4GB size with 36135 actions). VSS Converter finished in 3 hrs and 37 min with 4242 errors. Most of the code files were w/o history. It wasn't expectable so I restored the fresh TFS version control database (backed up before migration) and again attempted with incremental migration. This time it went quite far with just 345 errors but eventually crashed before completing the job. Here is the message I got: Verifying pinned versions... The application is unable to handle exception: An item with the same key has alr eady been added. Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. ...Show All

• Visual Studio I am not getting a sub-folder called _PublishedWebSites when I run a build

  This is despite the fact that I have several web site projects. Could this be because I use website projects rather than application projects If so, is there a way around it It would make life better if I did get this subdirectory after a build.

• Visual Studio Team System Re-assigning bugs and team projects

  We are currently using TFS for the first time, and considering using it for bug tracking. However, I have a question about the bugs. We are currently developing a new web site using a SOA architecture and have a Team Project for the services and a team project for the web site GUI projects. Our QA team isn’t currently set up to test just the services and as such they will be testing the deployments using the GUI, which will result in all the bugs being submitted under the GUI project and may in fact be a server issue. How can I move the entered bug from one team project to another so that when a build is done the bug is tracked appropriately Wayne Hi Wayne, You can copy work items be ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get headers only from column names but not value from sql statement?

  Hi all, I was looking to construct an sql statement so that I can have only the columen names as a header but with no data. I have tried like this and it is working.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Abstracting values

  How do you abstract a value (data) in the cell (nt row) in the selected datagrid row The following code. Will load a number of rows into a datatable and set this as the datasource on the datagridview control. Then when I click the button it will determine that there is at least one row selected and then display the first and second columns from this selected row. The selectedrows is simply a collection which you can iterate over and the rows and cells can be used to refer to items by ordinal value. This is a real simple example but there is nothing special about the selectrows collection. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4wszzzc7.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system. ...Show All

• Windows Forms AutoScroll for Panel control and refreshing while scrolling

  Hi, I'm writing a small app using VS2005 in C#. I put Panel control onto my form and, as child control, another panel inside it. I'd like to see as the content of 'container' panel changes its position during scrolling, but when I set AutoScroll property to 'true' the effect is only seen when I stop scrolling the content (it depends on 'show window contents while scrolling' settings of operating system, on my computer it's set to false). So, to do that, I consumed Scroll event from the container and set location of the child panel using ScrollEventArgs values. Everything works fine until I stop scrolling. After that, scrollbars of the container change their sizes and 'everything breaks', colloquially speaking. I've tried to do something wi ...Show All

• Community Chat Creating a new game engine. Anyone want to join me?

  I am creating a whole new out of the box idea at a game engine. This engine doesn't use directx at all. Instead it uses the picturebox control. I started making this engine yesterday. How it is going to work is that there is like 50 picture boxes per level, and they are black and blue and tiled so you can see where they start and end and stuff. But anyways, what you do is click on the picture box, and choose your sprite, and you have a tab with a properties and actions tabs, and you could choose what key makes it go up and down, right and left. To assign it a sprite, you simply click on the picture box, and an open file dialog comes up to choose the sprite. I havent added collision stuff yet, but I will. since it is like version -0.0000000 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF61002 CQConverter: Unknnown Migration Error Message

  Hi, I'm trying to migrate VSS sources to TFSC. Analysis passed without errors, I did the necessary mapping but when trying to add the data I receive a TF61002 error message. I found nothing on the web on TF61002 so far. Reading the error message's text I don't understand why migration status, vsts sourcedb and vsts souceid should be mapped to the Issue work item of TFS The vsts in the name of those fields let's me believe that they are somehow included by CQConverter or TFS - I don't have those fields in my ClearQuest work item. I can't find those fields in the field map file neither - as you can see at the end of this post... : : Validating users in Team Foundation.. Work item type 'Issue' ...Show All
