• Software Development for Windows Vista Is the "Summary Info Thumbnail handler" gone in Vista?

  On Windows XP we successfully use the "Summary Info Thumbnail handler" to be able to show thumbnails for documents saved by an application that we have written. In Vista RC2 this no longer works. Is the "Summary Info Thumbnail handler" not available any more Is there any other way to make Vista present a thumbnail based on the Summary Info in our document files It seems to me like there is no support for Summary Info property sets any longer. Is that the case /Thomas Hmm. I do not quite understand what I should add. I looked at the .doc extension at the shellex key and find {8895b1c6-b41f-4c1c-a562-0d564250836f} {84F66100-FF7C-4fb4-B0C0-02CD7FB668FE} Microsoft Office ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet Copy/Clone

  Hi, I need to have a copy from one Dataset created at the Form level. I'm using the TableAdapters and BindingSource Objects also. In some cases I need to check and verify if a specific row exists in my DataSet. How can I do it using the DataSet Is there any other way (BindingSource.Find) My table have 3 fields for the table key. I am assigning the BindingSource to a DGV.DataSource to display it. This specific BindingSource as its DataSource and DataMember related to the original DataSet. If I want to consult a specific row on the DataSet this will change the Position on it, true This would mean that the DGV display would also change, true I don't want that to happen. Can someone help me Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bullet points for building a guidance automation package from scratch.

  After creating my first test guidance package using the Guidance Automation Toolkit (GAT), I've cobbled together some bullet point steps on how to do it here . This is really rough at the moment, but I'll be adding to it as my knowledge grows. It took a while because there's nothing similar to it, like a walkthrough, in the documentation and I didn't want to use the meta guidance package because I wanted to understand how it all hung together first. Sanjukta, I'm not aware that there's any intellisense implemented for the GAT above what you get from the standard xml namespace functionality. All the GAT development I've done so far has been raw editing of xml files. I guess someday there'll be some too ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Management Studio Express - cannot find SQLEditors.DLL

  In SSMS Express, after right-clicking on a table and then clicking on "Open Table" or "Modify", this error was displayed: " The system cannot find the file specified Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.SQLEditors" .

• Architecture Load Balancing MSMQ

  Hi, Currently I'm using Microsoft Cluster with MSMQ for high availability. I have two machines configured under Microsoft Cluster and share a virtual address. All my queues reside in these machines. Both sending applications and recieving applications using the virtual adrress of the clustered machined to communucate with queues. The major downside I see in this kind of configuration is the downtime upon failure in the active node, when the cluster switch to the other node it takes up to several minutes for all the resources to come online again on the other node. It seems to me that load balancing solution will have no downtime in case of a node failure. What will be the best practice to load balanced MSMQ Does someone has an ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is there any way to autoclick with the mouse?

  Hi. It's me again. I was wondering, (and I'll probably get a simple answer that I could've figured out on my own.) is there any way to make the mouse move to a certain point on the screen, and then click by itself Thanks. This thread shows a program that displays the mouse cursor position, even if it is located over another app's window. Note that this is almost certainly not what you want, a window could be located anywhere, depending on the position of the window frame. Search the forums for "FindWindow" and "EnumChildWindows". Also, learn how to use Spy++ to discover window properties. ...Show All

• Visual Studio enabling a custom project for being referenced from another project

  In our VSTS SKU (VSTS for Database professionals), we have sql server projects which contain sql code and generate .sql file on being built. When we reference this project from C# project, it gives the following error A reference “dbProjectName” could not be added. An assembly must have a 'dll' or 'exe' extension in order to be referenced I wonder what could be missing to be implemented. How can we debug through it. We have a DatabaseProjectNode which inherits from ProjectNode. Similarly we have DatabaseProjectConfig which inherits from ProjectConfig. Do we need to override ProjectNode.GetOutputGroupNames() inside DatabaseProjectNode, the reason for this is that w hen peaked into the IVsOutputGroups ...Show All

• Windows Forms Basic question about using custom files/classes

  Hey there, I know C++ fairly well and in order to learn Windows Forms I decided to make a calendar application. Here is the layout i spent some time on using the designer. (the main parts including the days arent included yet due to my problem) I have no problem making simple interaction with these controls, for example. I have the "Next" and "Previous" buttons scroll through the months of the year, and the corresponding year is displayed in the label above the buttons. This was simple for me to figure out because I declared and used my integer(identifies the current month) right in Form1.h. However, as almost all applications, my project requires custom classes and files. So, say i want to create MyFile.cpp and My ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Reliable Messaging and custom transports

  Hey, first i got to ask if anyone happens to know of some sort of step-by-step tutorial for implementing reliable messaging Then on to my question... I'm doing some request/reply-communication over mail, and want to add some reliable messaging. The plan is that the client sends a mail to the server, with the message supposed to be sent AND the CreateSequence piggybacked on it. The server then replies with another message piggybacking both the CreateSequenceResponse and SequenceAcknowledgement. Finally the client sends an TerminateSequence over mail to the server. (This should work, right ) The big problem is that when my Proxy calls Channel.Request(), the message I get is a CreateSequence instead of the message i sent over Proxy.Request() ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I search through a multidimensional array?

  I tried the following, and it breaks because it expects a one-dimensional array: somearray(0,0) = "some" somearray(0,1) = "where" somearray(1,0) = "test" somearray(1,1) = "1,2,3" Dim Idx As Int32 = Array.BinarySearch(somearray, "test") Anybody know the equivalent for multi-dimensional arrays Thanks, Denvas Array.BinarySearch: Searches a one-dimensional sorted Array for a value, using a binary search algorithm. Here is an example of what you want to do Dim x, y As Integer For x = 0 To 1 For y = 0 To 1 If somearray(x, y) = "test" Then ''** Found the value at position x, y End If Next Next ...Show All

• Visual Basic concurrencymode with respect to reentrant error

  For a week now, I have searched, researched, and experimented for a way to avoid the reentrant error that I keep getting as I use a datagridview. I just can't seem to find enough detail that enables me to understand how to stop the error. If I understand anything at all, I think it's related to concurrencymode. For example, one reference that I found online shows a VB declaration syntax to be "Public Property Concurrencymode AS Concurrencymode." It then goes on to show usage. Problem is, I can't figure out what to put in place of the two "Concurrencymode" variables. Where can I find more detail for a beginner like me, such as, a list of choices for the second "Concurrencymode" in the example above What should ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modifying basicHTTPBinding on Client side

  Hi Community, Has someone tried modifying the basicHTTPBinding on the client side Is it possible or I am thinking something non-standard thing What I think there should be a way to inherit and override what is already provided in basicHTTPBinding or in any other out of box binding. For example in the following code I am changing the IncludeTimeStamp to false. This may be the bad example in which the channels on the service side will not match. But idea is, what if the server side code is not WCF service. If the IncludeTimeStamp flag is not required on the server side but everything from basicHTTPBinding is required. using ( GetAddressClient proxy = new GetAddressClient ( "GetAddress" )) { try ...Show All
