• SQL Server Installation on Vista

  Hi, I have a serious issue installing sql server express (advanced edition) on Windows Vista Home Premium.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA GSE and Vista

  So here's a quick question. I'm pretty sure it's been asked before but none of the combinations I can think of give a definitive answer for me. I'll make this one quick and to the point. Are there any known compat issues with GSE and Vista RTM (currently using Vista Business). Let me know I have completed the install and it seems to be working fine. You do need to make sure that you install VCE and all of the service packs, then install the XNA and SE Systems. But the tip is that you need to run a command propmt with the elevated permissions, then run each of the setups from that command propmt.... not there GUI Interfaces. Here are some of the links for the Vista and Visual Studio Parts. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Wise for windows Installer - impersonation

  Does somebody knows if we can impersonate (run the setup as another user when they start the setup) We use "Wise for Windows installer 6.0". Is there any alternative for letting a user without administrator rights, installing the application. I know that the most programs ask for who you want to install "all user or only for me". Is it possible that we select "only for me" automatically that a user can install the application ...Show All

• Visual Basic Object oriented issue puzzles me

  I have a project with a form and 2 classes: Form1, clsAcad.vb and clsAcadPlot.vb I'm trying to keep all my objects in the classes but most methods of these classes use the same objects. This forces me to initialize same objects in both classes, then apply methods on them. So, using code in Form1 I'd have to make sure I pass the same document names to variables in both classes before using them. Can I retrieve the object from the class to the Form1 and pass it to the other class I guess not, that would be a violation of the encapsulation concept. I could combine the 2 classes in 1 In this case I'll have a large class with many methods useless in other projects. Should I use inheritance Is there an easier way of doing this ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR Thread Object

  I got into a debate with a fellow worker about what will happen to a thread if we set it to null after all the work delegated to that thread is finished. So something on the lines of: Thread go = new Thread(); try { go.Start() // Do Work } catch { } finally { go = null; } As per my understanding, setting the thread to null doesn't specifically "kill" that thread; the GC may be able to free up the space used by that thread object, but what about the actual memory space, stack, etc. that has been assigned to the thread by the Windows OS Because I thought that you can't technically kill a Windows thread without raising the ThreadAbortException Can someone help answer these questions Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Problem in IIS after installing WSS 3.0

  Hi all, after installing WSS 3.0,it creates a site which listen on port 80,and all of you know that default web site is working also on port 80. now,i'm trying to change the port for WSS site,but when i changed for example from 80 to 90 or any other port # the site is not working. any one know how can i solve that I guess it depends on how much work you already put into that site that listened on PORT 80. If this is brand new simply go into your Central Administrator and create a new web application to extend and then build your site collection off of that. Pretty simple and straight forward. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ADO.NET vNext Installation problem

  I attempted to install ADO.NET vNext today, but upon starting the install wizard, I was prompted with a message box stating: "Could not access network location VisualBasic\ADO.NET vNext CTP\1033\." I have previously installed the .net 3.0 framework, Visual C# express 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005, and the May 2006 Linq CTP.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.XMLNode.ContextLeave: Problems with selections?

  Hi all I have a small problem. I'll try to explain it the best I can. The situation is this: I have an XMLNode in a table cell in Word. On the ContextLeave event for this node, I investigate the text in the node, and perhaps changes the text. In my case, to help user write e.g. N/A, by just typing 'na'. But... When the user tabs out of this cell, the selection get's out of sync. Let me try to explain. Normal behaviour when tabbin' from cell to cell in a Word table is that the text in the cell you enter is selected. When I change the text in the previous cell on ContextLeave the selection is off by the number of characters the new text is different than the original. It's a bit hard to explain. My guess is that Word when i pr ...Show All
