• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Application.GetRemoteStream() break in RC1

  just moved an XBAP app from June CTP to RC1. the app is making an Application.GetRemoteStream() call to download a file to parse on the client (with a relative Uri). this used to work in June CTP, but RC1 returns a null (not a SecurityException). in fact, it fails in both partial trust and full trust. any idea what has changed Thanks, casey I tried your scenario in VS on the September CTP bits and it worked for me. There weren't many changes in this area from the RC1 release anyway that could have regressed. Can you share some info on your project for us to debug thanks! How is the XML file included (or not) in the project Can you send the project or *proj.user files Setting "-D ...Show All

• SQL Server Get a max value from one table base on date from another.

  I have a problem where I need to join multiple tables. Part of the query needs me to make the following relationship in a join. Say I have a table with items, prices, and dates. PriceTable ITEM PRICE DATE A 1.00 5/5/2000 B 3.00 1/1/2000 A 2.50 6/5/2004 .... This table represents an items price from the date on. So Item 'A' costed 1.00 from 5/5/2000 through 6/5/2004, then it costed 2.50 from that day on. Now say I have a table of transactions with items, amount bought, and dates. TransactionTable ITEM AMOUNT DATE A 5 6/6/2003 A 1 8/5/2003 A 2 8/5/2004 The total for A should come out to be 11.00. There are multiple It ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies permissions sharepoint

  Hi, we have our moss site configured for both internet as intranet acces. For internet we use forms, for intranet we use active directory. On our public site we have a webpart to log in on the site. When an anonymous user logs in this way he will be added to the visitors group. The permissions for the visitors group are set to restricted read. If the same user wants to add , edit pages he has to sent an email. And by hand we will add the user a group with contribute rights. Now the problem: This user can't edit the page. We get an ACCES DENIED error. We abslotely have no clue what it could be. We have also created an Active Directory user and added him to the same group with contribute rights. But he also gets the Acces DENI ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Displaying Media from an IStream - is Directshow what I should use

  Warning - I'm a complete beginner at DirectShow. I need to come up with a solution to play audio and video in our application. However there are several gotchas in the requirements, that are making it difficult for me to know where to begin - I think Direct~Show is the answer, but am not sure how to proceed. The first gotcha is that the media does not exist as files on the users machine - they are downloaded from remote machines and need to be played as they are downloaded. I can provide an IStream interface to the data. The second gotcha is that I do not know what format the data is in ahead of time. I do receive the filename of the data on the remote machine and I can seek to any position in the file and read a block of data. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development PPC device problem w/ VS2005 application

  hello all, i have a program that i upgraded from eVC to VS2005 using the eVC++ upgrade wizard add on. i was able to successfully upgrade the application (or at least i think i did), and it compiled correctly in VS2005. when i transferred the app over to the PPC device (running PPC magneto) and tried to run it, i get the following error message: "The file 'app name' cannot be opened.  either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found.  you might need to reinstall or restore this file" i'm thinking the problem has to do w/ the trusted certificate, but not 100% sure, as i've never dealt with one of these problems.  any idea thanks in advance, greg ...Show All

• SQL Server Timeout and Audit Logout and sp_reset_connection?

  Hello, We've been getting some intermittent timeouts from our live website (the timeouts normally, but not always, occur when getting the user details - but that could be just because that task is happening the most often). However the strange thing is that this happens intermittently - but often enough to be annoying! I started a trace to see what was happening. I thought maybe it was a transaction/ or some sort of blocking SQL statement - however I'm not seeing anything that clearly indicates this.(I suppose the timeouts would only occur when another SQL was blocking the same db object, right And I don't think the updating of the user details are performed regularly.) However I did find some oddities that could maybe help: When we receiv ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem when starting two listening sockets simultaneously

  I was hoping somebody might have some insight into this problem. I've been doing searches but haven't been able to find anybody encountering anything similar. In the main program thread I spin off two instances of a TCP server class, each in their own thread.. The main function for the server class basically looks like this: Socket listener = new Socket( AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp ); listener.Blocking = true; listener.Bind( new IPEndPoint( IPAddress.Any, port ) ); listener.Listen( 100 ); while( serving ) { Socket connection = listener.Accept(); // Pass the connection off to another thread } Normally this is fine. One of those TCP servers listens on one port, and the other on a different one. Recently ...Show All

• Visual C++ cannot open file 'comdlg.lib'

  I've just installed MS VC++ 8.0, followed the instruction to install SDK update and tried to to build my Win32 console app project.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Making window Borderless & TopMost when maximize button clicked

  I am trying to make a window fullscreen and hide border when window is maximized.

• Visual Studio Team System Script INSERT statements for static data?

  Hi, Following scenario - after importing database schema to VSTS4DB, I want to create a new static table called Countries with some data inside. I create a Table script (CREATE TABLE Countries ...) without a problem, and when I build I see the CREATE TABLE statement in the generated build script. I would like, however, to include also some INSERT statements, so that the static table can be filled with data as well. I tried to add a Script file to the solution, but whatever I write inside does not get included into the generated build script. If I include the INSERT statements directly in the Table script, they get ignored. How can I include INSERT statements into the generated build script It would be nice if there is a poss ...Show All
