• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums EULA for my product

  I'm nearing completion of my first product and think I need to include a EULA as part of the install. Is there a standard template somewhere of a boilerplate EULA Something that says this software isn't meant to run nuclear reactors, if the user gets tumors it isn't our fault, etc. I looked at creative Commons and they offer some stuff, but I'm more interested in the standard type of EULA. Any help would be greatly apperciated. Jake If you are shipping a closed-source product, I would think that Creative Commons doesn't have what you want. They intentionally don't address typical software licensing. Have you looked at EULAs of software that you have seen and used Is there one that was particularly satisfactory f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sandcastle - MRefBuilder and .NET 3.0

  How should I go about documenting stuff using .NET 3.0 framework I tried changing the mrefbuilder.exe.config appropriately (both using Sandcastle Help File Builder and manually) but I keep getting "Unknown target platform '3.0'" If I set it to 2.0.50727 then it "works" but links to 3.0 specific things are obviously missing Is this a known issue Either way, can this be fixed as 3.0 now is officially released regards, Simon Anand, Thanks for the reply and offer of help...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to navigate back to home page?

  Hi, I am using Frame to navigate between different pages. When the application is running, it will first show a HowPage. Then the user can navigate to different pages. Say in page3, I have a link point back to HomePage, the question I have is how do I navigate back to the home page without recreating the HomePage again. I was hoping I can find something similar to GoBack() but will go all the way back to the top of the backStack which will be HomePage but I can not find the function in either NavigationService or Frame. After more search, I found NavigationCommands.FirstPage but it seems Frame doesn't support this command. Please help. thanks Chong Hi, Chango V.: Thanks for the quick ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Xpath expressions in Include in Markup Files

  Is there any restriction whatsoever on the kind of X-Path expressions that can be used in <include> element. e.g. can a stylesheet be included on a condition whose truth value is determined by an xpath expression refering the DOM nodes. Includes are processed before the DOM is constructed, so you can't refer to anything in the DOM. Basically only XPath variables (either system variables or script variables) can be used.

• Visual Basic Database Access

  I have a listview that is populated by a database. Whenever the user scrolls through a textbox, the listview is updated, either by highlighting the contents or re-populating it. When a user holds down an arrow key and scrolls through the textbox rapidly, it continually queries the database over and over. This doesn't seem to be the most efficient way to do this. The database is read-only, the user will never add anything to it... is there a way I can capture a snapshot of the database and maybe query that, instead of opening a connection, querying a database, repopulating, closing a connection everytime the user scrolls through the textbox Hm, I was looking into the documentation for datasets and dataread ...Show All
