• Visual Basic Filesystemaccessrule

  I have a function which takes a selected object and returns the NTFS security rights of the object. I am returning the string value for the of filesystemrights.tostring to give me the friendly name for the acl. My Question is how do I return a friendly name for the inherited acls For example the function in my code returns: "Rule grants 268435456 (268435456) access to BUILTIN\Administrators inherited right, inheritance: ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit, propagation: InheritOnly Rule grants FullControl (2032127) access to BUILTIN\Administrators inherited right, inheritance: None, propagation: None Rule grants 268435456 (268435456) access to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM inherited right, inheritance: ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit, propa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow and C#

  Hello Everyone, I’m new in C# and I have several questions, and I hope you to help me to find the answers. I would like to make some simple capture of audio and video for personal purpose. As I understood, the right way to do it is using DirectShow. But there is something which confuses me. The description of DirectShow says: “The MicrosoftR DirectShowR application programming interface (API) is a media-streaming architecture for the Microsoft WindowsR platform . Using DirectShow, your applications can perform high-quality video and audio playback or capture. DirectShow is available in the Windows SDK .” But later, in Windows SDK I read: “Welcome to the MicrosoftR ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 SP1 install Failure

  I have attempted to install SP1 on to my SQL 2005 Server numerous times and cannot get it to be successful. It failes on database services everytime and the log and event log report that my account cannot change permissions on the Data directory. My system is running Server 2003 R2 Ent x64. I have a Cluster setup with no second node at this time (future additon). I am also using a mount point inside the Data directory for logs. I have monitored the install using FileMon and do not see any file access issues during the installation process. I have also looked at the files and directories within the Data directory and all security ACLs seem fine. I am running the install with an account that has admin permission on the box.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GSE/XNA/C# Express Confusion

  Just some thoughts... So if I understand all this correctly even though I have Visual Studio .NET I have to download and use an express version of C# and download GSE Seems silly. If this is really being pushed towards amateurs then GSE and C# express should be integrated so it's one download and one application (aka easy). Otherwise it should be built on the real visual studio. In the current situation it seems both the amateurs that microsoft is trying to attract and the professional "dabblers" are getting the shaft to a degree. I'm also not really sure what the point of GSE and XNA is in the first place. I would think that 360 compatability could be boiled down to a document that tells you what features/API's are sup ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems installing Reporting Services

  Hi Folks, I want to download Reporting Services for SQL Server Express Edition but I can't find it. It seems to be in Analysis Services but when I run SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE I don't find any mention of Reporting Services. I get to the final options choice which offers me 'Database Services' and 'Client Components' but neither of these mentions Reporting Services. I have installed BI Studio successfully. I'd be grateful for any and all suggestions. Thanks a lot. Barry You obtain "Reporting Services", you have to download and install SQL Server Express Advanced Services.

• SQL Server BCP call to import data from computer other than server is this possible?

  Hi, I have written an application which is being used by only 4 people on different computers. The one with SQL Server installed is comp0, then comp1, .... comp4. Everything was working fine until today when the only user who is authorised (by my application) to perform the data import of BCP files, tried to import the latest BCP files. I am making my bcp command line string and then calling it using the VB Shell call. If I run the import option from my app on the server it works fine. So at first I thought, ah, the BCP files won't be in the other computers path. I've copied BCP.EXE and BCP.rll but it still doesn't work. Is it even possible to run BCP from a computer other than the one with SQL Server installed I really need ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Where can I get a download of Agile and CMMI full template,not just guidance?

  I made a mistake modifying my templates and I'd like to get them back to the original state. Where can I download the full original template I can only find the guidance. Thank you. You will need to restore it from your installation files (you should be able to get them from your installed folders). They are .zip archives, so I don't think you modified them. In case you have, then you need to get them from the original media files. After this older version is in place, then you can download the latest guidance and merge it following instructions at the bottom of the download page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=10B578F1-B7A4-459F-A783-04BC82CB2359&display ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using jscript as code-behind with XAML

  Hi, Does anyone know where I can find an example of an XAML app that uses jscript.net instead of c# or VB as the code behind I've read a few places that that is possible but haven't seen an example yet. /\/\}{ Any .Net language can in theory work as a code behind for XAML. However there are two things hindering creating code-behinds in any language other than C# or VB at the moment. (It's not impossible, just not easy either). The first obstacle is that VS2005 only supports one language per project. The second obstacle is that the only project templates for WPF are in C# and VB.net. I imagine that more project templates will be created for the other standard .Net languages with the "Orcas" release. But for now some ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. using C++ libraries with C# and 360...

  Hey Guys, Up until now, all of my projects have been written in cpp. I had a pretty descent game engine written based upon Ogre3D and several other libraries but I kinda abandond the project when xna was released. Anyway though, Im currently still in the process of learning c# however, as soon as I have the language down pretty well, I want to go ahead and start recreating my game engine using xna instead. The only problem is, well, honestly, I'm just not good enough with my 3D maths and physics yet to create my own C# physics engine so I was hoping I could use the Novodex physics engine with C# although it's written in C++. Is this possible Can you #include the headers into your c# code Does the compiler still support c++ And last but no ...Show All
