• .NET Development Shutting down network computers?

  I suspect that I once again have someone leeching of my Wireless router again and I can't connect and lock it for some reason. So I thought perhaps I could shutdown the computer who is leeching off my network As a lesson :P There are probably a lot of software out there that could do this but it would be nice to learn how I could create such software. New problem: It works perfectly fine when I shutdown my own computer, but doesn't work whenever I try to shut other computers down, it starts a cmd window titled Shutdown.exe and then nothing happens. Firewall blocking In that case how can I bypass it ...Show All

• Visual C# Unhandled exception only when running in release without debugger attached.

  I am beyond baffled by this. My application throws a System.AccessViolationException only when it is run in Release mode without the debugger attached (as in, I run the exe directly, outside of Visual Studio or I do "Start Without Debugging" in the Debug menu). Debug mode - everything works great; Release mode with debugger attached - everything works great. The very nature of how this error is thrown makes it impossible to debug, so I have no idea where to look into correcting it. Has anyone else ever come across such an error Does anyone have an idea how to hunt down such an error The application is not just a few hundred lines, it is easily on the upper end of tens of thousands of lines. I cannot seek it out with a debugger be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Setting up Project Alerts by Project Administrators

  It looks to me that project alerts are set by individual users in such a way that if a developer wants to be alerted for any new work items assigned to him/her, he/she will have to set it up on the client he/she is using. Is there a way for project administrators to set up project alerts For example, when a work item is assinged to a user, the user will receive an email alert even if the user has not set up project alert himself. Yes, a project administrator can setup alerts for other users when their items change. Use bissubscribe.exe or UI tool at http://blogs.msdn.com/narend/archive/2006/07/26/679440.aspx to create a subscription with AssignedTo = <username> and email id = <user's em ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums VEPushpin version 3 popup

  Is there any way to control the speed of the popup balloon that is built in to the Virtual Earth version 3 I'm talking about when you hover over the pushpin, and the popup displays with a slight delay. It's a neat effect, but I'd rather it display quicker like most other popups. Thanks, Steve Hey Steve, probably your best bet will be to override the current callback provided by the API, and write your own callout implementation: VEPushpin.ShowDetailOnMouseOver = false; VEPushpin.OnMouseOverCallback = ShowPopupInstantly(); These are public methods available within the API. There are other threads on this forum that detail how to override what are intended to be private methods (read you could ...Show All

• SQL Server Error: 'The DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility property is not overwritable'

  I am getting the error: "XML for Analysis parser: The DbpropMsmdMDXCompatibility property is not overwritable and cannot be assigned a new value." when I try to connect to an AS2005 cube through http using Office 2007. I can connect to the same cube fine with other clients. Any ideas how to approach this issue MDX Compatibility Mode is a session property and cannot be changed from command to command. What you describe here sounds like a bug inside connection pooling in msmdpump.dll - perhaps somebody connected with non-default value for MDX Compatibility Mode, and his connection is being reused for your session. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Transferring a variable from one sub to print event

  Is this posible in vb2005 I would like to use some variables in the print event. The array variables is being filled ind another sub first and then used in the print event. I would rather not use global variables for this.. The design of the PrintDocument class and its PrintPage event requires you to maintain state if the document contains more than one page. You don't need global variables, just private class members. If that pollutes your class too much, just use another class that you create in the BeginPrint event... ...Show All
