  Hi, Does any one know how to find out if a bitmap is in CMYK or RGB mode Thanks! Bitmap files in Windows only support RGB AFAIK. The header that defines the color table uses a 4 byte RGBQUAD value for each color. Michael Taylor - 12/13/06 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Best way to do functional testing?

  What is the best way to do some functional testing on a web application in VSTS For example, I have a list of inputs and a list of expected outputs. I want to store the actual outputs, and then use SQL reporting services to display for each test case: the input, the expected output, the actual output and whether expected/actual match. What is the "Best Practice" for this Should I store my inputs and outputs in a DB or other data store Note that some test cases involve multiple steps (for example, a user logging in, logging out, then logging back in). Is there a way to automate this Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Hello, I think that web test/load tests are what yo ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Removing Deskbar

  I have recently come across a machine that has the Deskbar down the left hand side. I cannot remove it or move it..... I have readon Premier that you can press CTRL and properties and adjust that way, to remove. But I believe you should be able to switch on and off in a simpler way.... Anyone seen a problem like this Are you on Windows XP and Windows Desktop Search 3.0 To move the deskbar, p lease make sure that your taskbar is unlocked by right-clicking it and make sure there is no check mark next to "Lock the Taskbar". To remove the deskbar, you can right-click the taskbar, go to "Toolbars" and uncheck "Windows Search Deskbar". Let me know if this solved your problem. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DragEnter/DragLeave

  Can anyone post a working example of DragEnter/DragLeave, please I've seen Marcelo's blog, but all what that example does is it provides with some visual feedback during the DnD operation, which is cool enough. But what I'm trying to achieve is to make certain components responsible for DragEnter/DragLeave. I'd appreciate any information on that matter. Thanks. Hi Lee, thanks a lot for the sample. Perhaps I should’ve been more distinct in my question. As I've posted a long time ago - I was working on DnD implementation and at the time I couldn't find a way to implement DragEnter/DragLeave, using standard DnD futures (the only way I actually found was using of the HitTest).  Let's sa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Problem

  I am doing a schema compare where the source is a database and the target is a project. There is only a single difference between the two. A stored proc exists in the target that does not exist in the database. The schema compare correctly detects this but sets the Update Action to 'Skip', and I cannot change it. If I click the dropdown button in the 'Update Action' column, all I see is 'Skip'; no other options. Can anyone tell me why I'm not able to set this to 'Delete' so I can remote it from my project Thanks - Amos. I think this question has been answered for Amos, but I wanted to make sure it was answered for anyone else following this forum. We don't support deleting objects from the projec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Modified guidance pakcage quits working suddenly

  I know this sounds crazy. I have installed a working copy for WCF guidance package and started modifying the translator recipe. It's been working fine. Then I installed Enterprise Library 3.0, which may be totally unrelated to the problem, but then I started to have problem with creating solutions from any guidance package, not just the one I modified. I fixed the problem by using the repair option in the December Service Factory installer. Everything seems to be back to normal again until today I noticed the recipes I modified act and look just like the standard ones. I unregister/register my package and nothing gets fixed. I tried to install the working copy again and this time, the wizard quit at the second step. I guess some exception ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual Studio 2005 help required

  Hi all, i am completely new to this forum so please excuse me if i have placed this thread in the wrong place. I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a big problem i am having. I have created a database which now has all the tables, relationships and data installed correctly and ready for use. I am creating the database in Visual Studio 2005, the next step of the job is to create a form which enables the user to search the database for the information they require. The problem is that I am only familiar with creating forms through programs such as Microsoft Access and for the most part have created forms by simply using the wizards that come with the program. My problem is that I have been told there are similar wizards ...Show All

• SQL Server "login failed for user" message when executing a copy of a working package

  I notice when I copy an SSIS package 'A' to a new package 'B', the new package 'B' will generate a "login failed for user" message in the data flow components. To copy I "save copy of Package 'A' as."

• Visual C# Chr (VB.NET) vs char (C#)

  I am converting a VB.NET program to C#. One of the features is returning the character code for an ASCII value. The (char) cast or Convert.ToChar seems to work in most situations. However, in some ASCII(134) I get different returns between the VB and C# code. In VB, Chr returns the small 't' symbol alla http://yorktown.cbe.wwu.edu/sandvig/docs/ASCIICodes.aspx . In C#, (char) or Convert.ToChar returns the 'square' symbol alla unrecognizable. I've looked all over but have not seen how to resolve this(other than setting a refernce to Microsoft.VisualBasic which is something I frown upon). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks First of all, the official ASCII Code standard ...Show All
