• Windows Search Technologies WDS won't recognize Outlook

  Desktop Search was working fine. Then I noticed that emails (Outlook 2003 SP2) were no longer available for search. Reinstallation has not helped. Suggestions I am having the exact same issue! I am using Outlook 2007 in cached mode with WDS 3.0 for XP. I have tried rebuilding the index, uninstalling and reinstalling, creating a new Windows profile,... but nothing works. Documents are searchable using the deskbar but no emails show up in the results. Instant Search within Outlook returns no results. When I disable cached mode I can search email within Outlook but not from the deskbar. When I re-index it usually stops at about 900-1000 items but scans a lot more (presumably the email). Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Changing WCF Endpoint at Runtime

  I have a WCF simple service (ServiceA) that I have running on Machine A. I have a client that accesses that Service on Machine A at ( http://MachineA/ServiceA/ ). Simnple enough. Now I have ServiceA running on 4 machines on my network. I still have the client on MachineA. I need to enable the user to connect to any of the 4 machines and call ServiceA. SO basically I need to be able to set the endpoint in code dependant on a selection from the user out of a pool of x machines that would all be running ServiceA. Anyone have a good way to do this with a WCF based service Answered by own question. I added an additional endpoint entry identical to the others with the URLs of my other server machines ...Show All

• Visual Basic How event method is written for dynamically created controls

  In my application controls are created dynamically. I want to know how to write code for an event, for eg. KeyPress event Also how to a call parent form event, for eg. KeyPress event instead of its child control(dynamically created control) KeyPress event (VB 2005) You have two ways to do this. 1. Declare the control WithEvents and then you can use a Handles clause on your event handler. However you can't do this if you are declaring the control in a sub routine. Dim WithEvents T As TextBox Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load T = New TextBox Me.Controls.Add(T) T.SetBounds(50, 50, 200, 20) End Sub Private Sub T_KeyPress(ByVal s ...Show All

  At my work ... sometimes i hear people say ... that it's bad/sucks .. to use private members because it is like using Global variables ....

Am i right .. to be frustrated ... to hear that Or am i completly wrong ... We have a senior developper at my work .. i heard him say that .. and he even laught cuz it was like using a global variable .... To me .. global means .. global .. accessible from anywhere.

• Windows Forms communicating between objects

  Lets say I had a windows form Form1. Now, later at some point I created an object of the form Form1 ^myObj. How would I send lets say a string that this new obj gathers to some control on the form itself How do I communicate between the two You can't access a control from another thread.

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.

• .NET Development Setting/getting encoding property

  Is there any way to get/set the 'encoding' property of a DOMDocument With .NET the System.Xml.XmlDocument does not have a property named encoding (or Encoding). In general for the in memory DOM document encoding does not matter as the DOM simply exposes anything (element names, attribute names, text content) as an Unicode string (i.e. a sequence of Unicode characters). What should the encoding be if you build the whole document in memory with e.g. CreateElement/AppendChild With the .NET DOM model the XML declaration is modelled as a node of type XmlDeclaration and that node has a property named Encoding you could check e.g. XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument(); xmlDocument.Load(@&q ...Show All
