• SQL Server long running transaction blocking queue

  Hello, I seem to be misunderstanding the way transactions work with service broker queues. We have developed and deployed a service broker application that 5 queues and a windows service for each queue on multiple servers (3 currently). Due to a last minute issue, we had to not use transactions when the services executed a recieve and I am not updating the code base to use transactions and am running into blocking issues. One of the services runs for 90 seconds (spooling to the printer) and all of the servers block on the receive operation for this queue. I thought that if I was receving messages from a single conversation, other receives against this queue would not block. Thanks, Jim Stallings ...Show All

• .NET Development Should Close() cause CloseReason.UserClosing in Form_Closing event.

  I have some code that does the following // Somewhere in the bowels of the code... if (myResult = DialogResult.Cancel) throw CloseDownQuietlyException(""); ... I catch this and issue .... MyMainForm.Close() This is caught in the Form_Closing event and I check the FormClosingEventArgs.CloseReason . For some 'reason' this is being reported as CloseReason.UserClosing . The documentation says this reason code is only returned by the UI. Am I misreading something private void AncestorForm_FormClosing( object sender , FormClosingEventArgs e) { switch (e.CloseReason) { case CloseReason .ApplicationExitCall: case CloseReason .FormOwnerClosing: case CloseReason .TaskManagerClosing: case ...Show All

• Windows Forms Insert Query Failed Schema

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DrawIndexedPrimitive help understanding

  Hello, I am new here. I have a few books that cover DrawIndexedPrimitive and one says the parameters are for vertex buffer the other says index buffer My problem is I am trying to render my terrain in patches. Right now I have a 65x65 size terrain and want to render 4 patches 33x33 each one. So my call to DrawIndexedPrimitive is dxApp.d3dDevice->DrawIndexedPrimitive(type, 0, 0, NUM_VERTICES, indicesSum, NUM_POLYGONS); indicesSum += NUM_INDICES; and my mesh is all messed up when rendered Any ideas would be great.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Disappearing Document ActionTask Panes with Word

  I've been working on a fairly complex Word VSTO application which is about complete, except for some intermitent strange behavior which happens after a document has been saved. When reopening the document ( either the saved one or starting the new one via the application word template) one of two things may happen. 1) the document action pane begins to display and then closes , leaving only the getting started task pane. it is not listed as a disabled application, logging off and back on will fix the problem as if it had been black listed 2) The Document Actions pane stays open, but the two actions pane controls which should be there are not visible, despite code (msgbox(me.ActionsPane.Controls(1).Visible) claiming the control IS ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Passing on a value on an existing Access Report

  I'm currently fighting with an Access 2002 Report. Here's the thing... I've created a report based on a query i've created. The query itself displays a series of receipts which have been added to the database via certain form. However, the user wanted to interact with the Report in a way that he could determine the content of the report by selecting a period between x and y. I've done so by creating a Date Selection form which would pass a "WhereClause" to the Report in question displaying only the desired content. The next request was to have a total amount of receipts as well as the total price mentioned at the bottom of the page. So far i've added these two fields as "Unbound" at the page footer and i'm trying to pass on the infor ...Show All

• SQL Server How to populate a junk dimension?

  Is there any best practise to populate a junk dimension Should I just create the table and fill-in all the stuff using some SQL I believe most records in the junk dimension are static. A junk dimension consists of attributes/fields in the fact table that are neither measures nore foreign keys. This can be a order number or any other information that it is hard to build dimenion and hierarchies with. In SSAS 2005 the dimension guide will help you with this if you use the fact table as a source for a dimension. All attributes you choose here will be grouped under one fact table dimension name. When you load your fact table you load the junkdimension. HTH Thomas Ivarsson ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Proper practice - edit a table in a grid.

  Hello everyone; I have a very simple form with a grid. The grid's record source is set to a cursor which contains a subset of a single table: Select * from PriceList where acct = cSomeAcct into cursor curPl I would like to add an edit button on this form which will alllow the user to edit the grid and update the Pricelist table.
