• SQL Server SQL Server 7.0 maintenance plans and job server access.

  I have a legacy system running SQL Server 7.0 SP4, and it is automatically backed up using a SQL Server Agent maintenance plan. Unfortunately this has stopped working (no change was made to SQL Server), and I do not know why. The message that appears in the Event Viewer Application Log is...

• Visual FoxPro use Getfile() to Return file name only.

  Is there a way for GetFile() to return just the name of the file instead of the whole path I don't need "c:\myproject\file.dbf" all i want is "file.dbf" to be returned. Getfile() always returns the full path and filename. You can use JustFName(), JustStem(), JustPath(), JustDrive() etc to parse parts of returned full path. ie: lcFileNameOnly = justFName( getfile() ) ...Show All

• Visual C++ Creating a DLL with managed types so it can be accesses from native "C" programs

    I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum but there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate one, so I'll post in here.   I am building a .Net project, which will provide some functionality to a native program. I already completed the project but I am having synchronization problems with the approach I have taken (see this thread for more). So I decided to change the approach. Here is a brief description of the goal.   The native program consists of two or three processes, built using LabVIEW, MS VC++ with MFC, and plain "C". The "C" process, named "vista" (no relation to the next Windows), is the one which provides the timing. My original approach was to have an OS event that was set by "vista" after it ha ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Unwanted functionality

  Hello. I'm running Office 2007 Beta 2 technical refresh, which prompted me to install Windows Desktop search to use the find feature in Outlook. to it's credit, the new search feature in Outlook is fantastic - I can't imagine running without it. However, WDS Has placed a magnyfying glass icon in the task area, which I cannot find a way to remove. I recently took the genuine advantage team to task for a similer problem (http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/ShowPost.aspx PostID=569249&SiteID=25): Task area real estate is a precious thing, even with Windows XP's ability to hide inactive icons. Am I overlooking something obvious, or is there no way to turn this off Also, Windows Desktop Search seems to have replaced the normal Start > S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installation options for a NT4 domain

  Hi, We have NT4 domain controllers and probably will have for the near future. So what options do i have to get VSTS installed and used for our development teams We have 25 developers all located in the same physical office. Cheers, Wes You will probably want to install using local accounts. The UE team system blog has some information on how to setup your user accounts here . Also, please note that the TFS Workgroup Edition is not required for this setup-- that edition is just a limited user edition that only allows five users to have permission to access the system at any given time. You can install any of TFS Workgroup, Trial, or Full Editions on a computer that is in a workgroup. Hope t ...Show All

• Visual Studio FIREFOX.EXE errors while trying to run .ASPX files for VS 2005

  I was using Firefox and then decided to uninstall it. But now when I try and run a .ASPX files it gives me an error "Unable to start program 'C:\Progra~1\Mozil~1\Firefox.exe'. The system cannot find the path specified." I believe that firefox must have installed their startup code for automatically running firefox.exe whenever I select an .aspx file. However, it appears to be specfic to Visual Studio's 2005 Enterprise edition. What do I have to do to fix this so I can run IE again from within VS 2005 thx, Marc Hi again, the solution for VS2003 above doesn't appear to work for VS2005 for some reason.

• .NET Development XML DateTime serialization

  Hello, I am upgrading a .Net Framework 1.1 application that uses an XML document and writes this document to a file. One of the fields in the document has the xml datatype dateTime. This dateTime is output in a format containing 7 digits for the fractions of the seconds (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sssssss+timezone). As the dateTime we use is only accurate to the minute, the seconds and fractions of seconds remain zero and are output as zeros. After compiling the application with the .Net Framework 2.0 this changes. If the fractions of seconds are zero they are no longer written to the file (the seconds are still written as 00). As we exchange this file with a business partner who requires the fractions of the seconds to successfully parse t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do you implement Fog into a scene?

  Hi All, I have finally got some 3D up and running so things are whizzing about (which is always fun to watch... for a while, yeah I know, small things...) and I was wondering if anyone had any examples of putting fog into a scene. I tried last night and succeeded in turning all my meshes to white, not matter how far away they were from the camera. No matter what I did to the values, nothing changed. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers " As far as I remember, most good artists are versed in quite a few color schemes, of which RGB is not entirely the most important."
