• Software Development for Windows Vista Using wimgapi.dll with VB6 - WimApplyImage causes VB6 IDE to freeze?

  I'm writing some code to use the wim imaging api wimgapi.dll with VB6. The code works 100% on capture, with the callback function correctly getting progress information and updating my form with progress bar etc. This works fine when run from within the IDE or from the compiled .exe. The apply image code is a problem though - the WimApplyImage code locks up the IDE part way through. When run from the compiled exe, I get no progress messages to the callback - I do get all the process messages though, and it actually works in that it correctly applies the image, but it stops updating my form until it exits the WIMApplyImage function. Anyone have any ideas I've tried registering the callback both immediately before the WimApplyIma ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Scanlines in 2D

  I'm cerating 2D game and wondering how to implement scanlines effect. For now i'm using simple .png image colored with scalnines patern and transparency - i simply draw this sprite in front of all other of my sprites, but since the texture is big and uses transparency it seems slow and i have large framerate drop when i'm using it. So i'm asking for help - is there may be other ways to create this effect Thanks. you could try using a screen aligned quad with a shader that does the scanlines, however I have not tried this myself but it should work. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. .NET languages have no support for accessing MAPI properties in versions prior to Outlook 2007. Therefore, the UserProperties collection would be the supported approach. What kind of behaviors are you seeing as abnormal ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro First try at updatable views - Help!

  OK - So I'm trying updatable views now. I have a table with a few fields but there is no primary key. I've created an updatable view, and I'm getting some update conflict errors. I was wondering what's the proper way of doing this: Do I need to have a primary key in the table Should I create an autoincrementing field for that purpose Thx. >> Do I need to have a primary key in the table Absolutely! However it need not be a single column, nor does it have to be an autoincrementing integer. You can define your primary key as any combination of fields that uniquely identifies a record within a table. The easiest, and best (for lots of reasons) way it to use a "surrogate&qu ...Show All

• SQL Server Instead Of Trgger Marked Not For Replication Kills After Trigger

  Kill may be overdramatic, but... I am te sting a merge publication with a push subscription.  The publication contains a single table.  That table has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger marked NOT FOR REPLICATION and an AFTER trigger that needs to go off during replication. During Synchronization neither trigger goes off.  If I drop the instead of trigger the after trigger will go off.  What is going on Thanks, Thanks for looking at this. Server version = 9.00.1399.06 And the triggers looked fine. I looked at them on the Subscriber after synchronizing. The instead of triggers marked "NOT FOR REPLICATION" keep the after triggers from going off during sync on both the publication db and t ...Show All

• SQL Server Preview has data but no columns returned

  In my SSIS package, I connect to an external SQL server database. This external database supports a stored procedure that I need to execute to "retrieve data". So in my package, I set the DataAccess Mode property of my OLEDB datasource to "SQL Command" and I provide the command EXEC <proc_name> <Param>,<output_param>. (The proc has an output parameter). The preview shows all the columns and data, but somehow no columns are returned....so when I try to link this data source to a copy column task, I get an error saying the source does not have any columns...any idea why this could be happening.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with Filewatcher in EventHandlingScope

  The problem is that when i use the filewatcher in the eventhandler for my eventhandlingscope, I have to copy a "wakeup-file" to the drop-folder in order to make it work. After that the workflows runs as expected. (WF samples can be downloaded at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ LinkId=73348 ) The problem can easily be reproduced by using the Sample FileWatcher Activity: Add an EventhandlingscopeActivity and drag event1 into it. View eventhandlers, add an eventdrivenActivity and drag event2 into it. Add a codeactivity with a WriteLine, for debugging purposes. remove event3 and the ListenEvent. If we now drag a file into the "temp2"-folder, the CodeActivity wont execute the first time, but if we drop ...Show All
