• Visual Studio Team System Invalid Postback

  I receintly started getting the following in a recorded web test: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableEventValidation="true"> in configuration or <page EnableEventValidation="true"> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation. This appears to be intermittent; Is there something I can do within the web test to prevent this I'm sti ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Disabling Autoscroll on IE

  I was wondering if there was a way to disable autoscroll with the mousewheel on the newest version of IE for Windows XP. When I use the mouse wheel, it continues to scroll down and I can't stop it.... Very annoying. HELP!!! Just to be clear, the Autoscroll feature (aka. Reader Mode) of Internet Explorer refers to clicking and holding the middle-mouse button and moving the mouse around to control the scroll location of the page. As far as I can tell, the Autoscroll feature cannot be disabled. If you are experiencing erratic Autoscroll behavior when moving the mouse, you might try using the numeric keypad instead. Click the middle button and hold it, then use the following keys: 7upL 8up 9up ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Database Project Build

  I'm receiving an error when building my project. I am creating tables/indexes on specific filegroups. Those filegroups exist on the target server. When I try to build, I get error messages saying that it's invalid. How do I fix this I would guess, since you are building and that is done based on the local validation database, that you will have to have the filegroup defined locally too (Similar to external references) Or am I off base Alle ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) wsdualhttp problem

  Hi, I have duplex service, which is running in two end point(dualhttp and tcp) and it is running in the app server.

• Visual Basic A Windows Explorer-like browser that shows image thumbnails

  Hello all, Don't want to reinvent the wheel so maybe somebody out there has come across some source code that would allow me to reproduce something like Windows Explorer that would show image files as thumbnails when looking in a directory containing image files. Visual Basic's Power Pack has a FileViewer controller that works ok but without showing thumbnails. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers. NRF Sorry, that snippit was for VS05...

• Visual C++ Help with chars

Hi, you have to build a simple parser that would return those numbers. Example: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> using namespace std; void main() {     string s = "{\\k25}mi{\\k16}a{\\k19}ge{\\k17}ta {\\k17}yo{\\k17}"; // our string     vector<string> vec; // holds the values     // go through every ocurrence of "\\k"     size_t index = s.fin ...Show All

• .NET Development Datasets and SQL Server

  I'm currently working on a application in VB.NET 2003, with a SQL Server backend. I was asked to make an import function that would allow a user to import an Excel worksheet into SQL Server. I'm aware you can do it from Excel directly to SQL Server, but the clients would like something that wouldn't involve the users of this application touching the SQL Server. I'm using an OLEDB for the Excel connection, and a ODBC connection for the SQL Server connection. Next, I have a button event that would open up a OpenFileDialog window, and a user can choose an Excel sheet. If the Excel sheet is valid, it would go on extracting the data into a dataset: ds = New DataSet ds.Clear() strSQL = "Select HEAT, Practice, C, Mn, P, S, Si, Cu, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. no more mdx

  whell mdx never again... mdx team was dissapearedand all of his members ( Toma Miller too) was translated to the XNA Team... MDX 2.0 never will have a final release.... just the existing beta and no more... sadly... especially if you see that XNA only allows XBOX 360 gamepads... i dont like that... Old news. Like, really old. XNA has improvements over MDX, and will get better when the professional version comes out. Also, if you want joystick support, then you simply add references to MDX1.0 DirectInput. I myself don't like this solution but I it is that way because they only put enough coders on the XNA team to get a minimal version running. Now that is the real shame. ...Show All

• SQL Server Controlling flow in a stored procedure

  I have a stored procedure with two UPDATE statements in it. The second UPDATE statement relies on the completion of the first UPDATE statement to run correctly. The problem I am running into is that SQL Server sometimes runs the second statement before completing the first. To get around this, I tried putting the second UPDATE statement in a different stored procedure called within the first procedure, but I am still having problems. I do not believe I am doing anything wrong, but just in case, here is the relevant code from the proc: -- Look up County ID BEGIN TRANSACTION UPDATE tmpZoneTypes SET CountyID = ( SELECT CountyID FROM tblCountyLkp WHERE tblCountyLkp .

• Visual C++ What #include<file> is necessary for using Console::Clear();?

  The Visual Studio 2005 MSDN Help Search doesn't explain the prerequisite #include<file> needed before the System namespace can be called, for example, in the case it were needed to execute the following statements: using namespace System; Console::Clear(); Does anyone know this necessarily perchance Thanks. With VC++ 2005 you can create two category of projects: unmanaged, in C++, or managed in C++/CLI. If you are interesting in the former, then choose File > New > Project > VC++ > Win32 > Win32 Console Application. If you are interested in the later, then choose File > New > Project > VC++ > CLR > CLR Console Application. Hope this clarifies the things ...Show All

Can anybody help me in bypassing the server firewall using C# code Thanks in advance ! -Sandeep You cannot bypass the firewall, you will have to add the application, or the ports your application uses to the firewalls exclusion list.
