• Windows Search Technologies WDS crash under Citrix

  Hello We have 2 Citrix-Servers on W3k Standard Server. The users are connecting to the servers with ThinClients over Citrix. We have now some multiple entities: 1. The WDS does not start at logon and when the User starts it, the message "WDS isn't running" is diplayed. The strange thing is, it is running... 2. The message "The WDS index isn't working properly. To fix this problem, you'll need to restart your computer, and you may need to rebuild the index. Select one of the following options..." is displayed. 3. Application Error The exception Breakpoint. A breakpoint has been reached (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x7c822583 WDS version 2.6.5 with the patch Any idea how we can ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums re. movie locations

  Your list of movie (film) locations for London is way too small. eg. “ Who could forget Michael Caine in Alfie (the good version) walking along by the side of Brixton station, summing up his love life…” (my quotation), or what about the Lavender Hill Mob or Passport to Pimlico and lots of other Ealing comedies shot in London, then you've got films like chitty chity bang bang shot in Sussex and Surrey and more recently Dance with a Stranger (ok so it's got Rupert Everett in it) again partly in Surrey. Ideally you shouldn't be able to see London for blue markers; and what about Highlander or some of the other Scottish films. Your list looks a bit feeble to me! Does anyone else have any locations to add   Hi the ...Show All

• Windows Forms GDI leak tool

  Is there any third party tool or Visual Studio 2005 plugin which can detect GDI leaks I can find tools which can count leaked resources, but I want the stack trace i.e. where in .net code the leaked resource was allocated. Also another question: does .net use GDI or GDI+ or both Thanks in advance. Pawan I have used .NET Memory Profiler ( http://memprofiler.com/ ) with some success. It does a good job of tracking resource leaks and provides stack traces etc. The System.Drawing namespace wraps the GDI+ C API. Windows Forms however does make use of GDI indirectly when it allows controls to be rendered by the system. As an example, buttons are by default rendered in managed code using GDI+ but text boxe ...Show All

• .NET Development Compression namespace|GZipStream question!!

  I'm using this piece of code to compress 1.txt into test.gz, and it works just fine but I noticed that when I open the zipped file, the initial file which is 1.txt gets renamed to test with no ext! how do I keep the initial file name inside the zipped file thanks Fahd FileStream fs = new FileStream ( @"c:\1.txt" , FileMode .Open); Byte [] buffer = new byte [fs.Length]; fs.Read(buffer, 0, ( int )fs.Length); fs.Close(); fs = new FileStream ( @"c:\test.gz" , FileMode .Create); GZipStream gz = new GZipStream (fs, CompressionMode .Compress, false ); gz.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); gz.Close(); You'll notice that gz.Write() takes no inf ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What LoadOption is the default when calling LoadSequence without specifying one?

  There are two prototypes for the LoadSequence method. One of which doesn't take a LoadOption. When I use that version and reload an already existing entry (based on the DataTable's primary key), both the current version and original version of the record's data is changed. As I mentioned in a previous post, I believe LoadOptions.PreserveChanges is broken since it appears to modify both the current version and original version. Since it is currently behaving the same way as the OverwriteChanges LoadOption, I can't tell which LoadOption LoadSequence is defaulting to when a LoadOption is not specified. So, is LoadSequence defaulting to OverwriteChanges or PreserveChanges by default Thanks. ...Show All

  Hey guys, I'm new to Crystal Reports, and I am testing it out for my company before we buy it.

• Windows Forms "Specified <entryPoint> is not valid" while reading Application manifest?

  Hi all, I'm trying to deploy a .Net 1.1 application using ClickOnce. All clients have .Net 2.0 installed (on which the 1.1 application runs fine), its just that the client code *has* to be built on the 1.1 platform. Hence, I can't use VS2005 to generate the manifest and deployment files for me, because it will cause the client code to be built for .Net 2.0 before generating the manifest and deployment files. So I figured I should use the Manifest Generator tool (mage.exe / mageui.exe) to generate these files for me, since it doesn't require my code to be rebuilt first. This seemed to work pretty well: just have Mage create a .exe.manifest file that contains all assemblies used by my application, and then have it create a deployment f ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can you share global variables between a DLL and a calling program?

  Can you share global variables between a DLL and a calling program If so I would appreciate any tips. I tried putting the global variables in the DLL but it crashed when the VB porgram tried to call it. seems extern is not required for exporting a variable. extern "C" using to avoid name mangling of C++ functions and to get the exact syntax what we defined in the calling process E.g #ifdef WIN32DLL_EXPORTS #define WIN32DLL_API __declspec(dllexport) #else #define WIN32DLL_API __declspec(dllimport) #endif // This is an example of an exported variable WIN32DLL_API int nWin32DLL=0; ...Show All

  I have a Label1 with property .Font.Bold = false. I also have a Checkbox. Know, when the Checkbox.Checkstate is checked I want to change Label1.Font.Bold to 'true'. VB tells me this is 'Read only' and I can not change this programatically. Sure there is a way to do this, I hope. Ok, how about this : Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged Select Case CheckBox1.CheckState Case CheckState.Checked If Not ( Me .Label1.Font.Bold) Then Me .Label1.Font = New Font( Me .Font, FontStyle.Bold) End If Case CheckState.Unchecked If Me .Label1.Font.Bold The ...Show All

• Windows Forms Save a file???

  I am creating a web browser (eariler versions on www.freewebs.com/evanmulawski ) and am wondering how to create a 'save target as...' context menu strip item, so that I can save the file that the mouse is currently on. Thanks, Evan Mulawski If I am reading you correctly I think what you need to do is a 2 step process and you are only doing 1 step at the moment. In the save dialog allow the user to select where they want to save the file to, as soon as they select where to save the file to then you need to copy the location of the current file to the new location using fileIO. So I guess in General you get the location of the source (web page) and the target from the savedialog then use a simple fileIO copy file. Does ...Show All

• Visual Basic Multimedia MCI Control (MMControl) and Windows Media Player

  I have this VB application that uses MMControl to play MIDI files. My problem is Windows Media Player interferes with my application. What I mean is, when both my application and WMP are playing ‘.mid’ files, when I ‘Pause’ my WMP, my application also pauses and I can’t make my application to play any ‘.mid’ files anymore. The only way I can make my application run again is to ‘Resume’ WMP and wait for it to finish whatever it’s playing, or make WMP, ‘Stop’ then ‘Play’ then ‘Stop’ again. This does not happen when WMP is playing other type of files like ‘.avi’, ‘.wma’ or ‘.wmv’. Have any one of you encountered this problem before How can overcome this Can you recommend other controls or method to play ‘.mid’ files ...Show All
