• Software Development for Windows Vista ALERT ! Copying many Files/Dirs between Disk's unstabilizes Vista ! Results are inpredictable !

  Hello World as I already explained in my Thread " Copying Files from USB-HD to internal HD: Explorer Out of Memory ! " a few Days ago, this very Severe Error in Vista seems ***NOT*** to be USB-Bound - this Error also occurs if You Copy larger Amounts of Files/Dirs between INTERNAL Harddisks ! So I recently tried to Copy a Root-Dir from Drive D (internal to my System, SATA) to Root-Dir of Drive C (also internal, SATA - this is ANOTHER physical Disk, not just another Partition). The Root has 973 Dirs and 17'614 Files - 1.87 GB of Data. After Drag/Drop from D to C the Copy-Dialog opens and tells my that 18'588 Elements will be Copied. After about 16'373 Elements I get the Error Dialog like "Explorer Out of Memory". After t ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication with SQL Mobile Server 2005 / SQL Server 2005

  I am using Merge Replication to Synchronize a database on a mobile PDA. I create an empty table 1st using; "engine.CreateDatabase()" then sync with ; "replicator.Synchronize() " It works great the 1st sync, but subsequent calls to "replicator.Synchronize() " dont download new table changes at the server level to the remote PDA. I have found by calling ; "replicator.ReinitializeSubscription(True)" I can get new updates downloaded to the handheld, but it is very flaky / glitchy when using this call and hangs / freezes / or doesn't work all the time, every second attempt seems to work.... My questions is... 1) after initial synchronization, is there steps at the server level or handheld level to request new updates to download - ...Show All

• Visual Studio Best possible way to Source control TIBCO Projects in SourceSafe

  Hi All, We have a project going into production on sunday. We are using Sourcesafe for version controlling till now. Project contains ( TIBCO project + External Classes( at a different location)) My question is how to handle this after the production release. We need to add new services to the project, but this is due for a MAY deployment. But, if we get any changes or defects in the UAT or PROD, we need to address them as early (seperately) as possible with out incoporating the may release changes. How best can this be done in SourceSafe. Also, one more issue, we need to address the PROD and UAT issues/defects independently, i.e. if we get any defects only in UAT, then we need to make changes to that code, so that it will effect only th ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC8 complains when #using a types from a VC 7.1 managed assembly that has static const members.

  I am trying to use C++/CLI to compile some managed classes that use types from an old .NET 1.1 assembly that was compiled with VC 7.1. The old VC 7.1 assembly contains classes that have static const members that were declared as follows using the old Managed Extensions for C++ syntax. public __value class DPoint3d { public: double x,y,z; static const DPoint3d Zero = DPoint3d(0.0, 0.0 ,0.0); But when compiling my new C++/CLI classes that utilize the old DPoint3d value type the compiler complains: S:\src\Mozart1\msj\mstn\mscore\clr\Internal\Tests\ElementAccess\ElementAccess.cpp(97) : warning C4393: 'Bentley::Geometry::DPoint3d::Zero' : const has no effect on initonly data member; ignored OK.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Can I get XML(XAMLcode) from WPF/E Objects?

  For example, Draw application (by WPF/E) . How can I upload draw data to server The geometry data which a user makes are complicated. That may be true, but your code has to handle creating the geometry data anyway, right What functions would your CAD program expose I do agree that if you download a large XAML file and allow the user to modify part of the data, which would equate to you changing values of element data in javascript (instead of creating new elements) then it would require a lot more code to also update a "string" representation. Is not WPF/E suitable for such a use From a rendering perspective I think WPF/E is very suitable. But from an editing and persisting ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Site shows up fine in IE6 but in IE7 it is really bad?

  I have been working on a company web site for some time now and I have been trying to get ahead of the game and making it relying completely on css for layout and only have a few images that are not set as background images in css. I have also gone through the trouble to make sure the page was validated using w3c validation tool, I even changed the doc type from xhtml1.0 transitional, xhtml1.0 strict, and xhtml1.1 just to check if it would validate for each and it did. So, when I go to test it in IE7 the site completely fails and everything gets stacked in the top left corner. Anyone have any idea why that is happening I checked it out in Firefox and it load fine, though when I install (i uninstlled IE7) IE7 even firefox loads it badly. D ...Show All

• SQL Server Interval/Bucket Dimension

  I am trying to find the most efficient way of handelling discreet buckets over continuous/discreet set of values. In english I am looking to have a dimension that says if age is between 0 and 5 they are an infant, 6 to 18 child and > 18 adult. I know I can do this in a case statement but I have similar senarios that require multiple levels of nesting and the ability to easily change the banding criteria with many fact table sharing the same banding information. I have done this in the past by preprocessing the fact table and updating the key value based on between joins, but this is very inefficient on large datasets (upwards of 30 million rows). I also need to be able to do this across continuous values such a monetary amounts ...Show All
