• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) subgroup in peer mesh

  Hi, im doing a p2p chat program, apart from broadcast to whole mesh, i want to one-one and small group chat as well, anyone knows how to implement this in p2p thanks a lot oaix 1-2-1 you can acheive by just creating another out of band duplex connection between the two peers using something like netTcpBinding I think you'll have to get the "submesh" created by having the subgroup connect to another mesh for that conversation Regards Richard Blewett - DevelopMentor http://www.dotnetconsult.co.uk/weblog ...Show All

• SQL Server Msg 8621: The query processor ran out of stack space during query optimization

  I got the above error when I tried to execute the following query delete from BUSINESS_ASSOCIATE where ba_name is null As you can see the query isn't exactly complicated. What the table does have is lots of dependancies. I got SSMS to show me all the dependancies and there are literally hundreds (maybe thousands - I'm not going to count them all) of dependant tables and i suspect that is what is causing the problem. So what do I do about it This is a valid data-model (industry standard in fact) but SQL won't let me delete data from this table and that's a huge problem for me. Any advice about how to progress would be welcomed. -Jamie Jamie Thomson wrote: Hi guys, I sure can. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is creating a basic native win32 app using VB 2005 EE possible?

  Hi all. I'm trying to work out how, or indeed, *if* it is possible to create a standalone application that will run on pretty much any version of windows without the need for the .net 2.0 framework installed . In my looking about, I think I have found out that if you use the WinForms element in VB 2005 EE, you have to have the .net 2.0 framework installed, but I'm not 100% sure if thats correct or not. What I'm after is a basic single window app that allows you to launch certain programs or installers using buttons on this single windowed application - very much like a CD Menu system of old Even if it requires VB 6 runtimes [i.e. like a VB6 project app did] that wouldn't be too bad, as that is fairly simple and can be installe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Get return value from workflow

  I've a winform application which would interact with a workflow runtime to perform some approval tasks. When a user reviews the approval request, he can select either approve or reject on the winform application, it will submit to the workflow runtime to process, his action will be validated by the rules defined in workflow and it will return a result of his action (success or fail). I want to know how can I get the result from workflow when the workflow instance is completed. And how can I wait for result from workflow runtime after user submitted the action, because workflow is executed asynchronously with the winform application. Thank you very much! I want to know... how can I notify the winform applic ...Show All

• Community Chat Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian Did anyone tried to code something (in Visual Studio .NET) on Windows Vista If anyone did, is it OK, it works fine I know that Vista is using the 3-rd version of the .NET Fra ...Show All

• Visual C++ Noob->Question

  Hi folks, I know this is pretty basic, but I'm having troubles getting my head around it... what is the difference between using the -> (pointer) to access the items of an object vs. using the . (period) to access items. Often times I get the two mixed up and the compiler will tell me I'm using the operator incorrectly. What is going on -Zero -> is used to deference members of a class through a pointer to that class. . is used to deference members of a class through a reference to that class (or is a local). e.g. say MyClass has an int member; as a data member int foo1( MyClass* pMyClass ) {    return pMyClass->member; } int foo2( MyClass& myClass ) {  & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Requirements?

  Do people track requirements as work items Is that the way we should do it Thanks that helps. I was just wondering if there was another mechanism. Also if you used word documents, they are not versioned if you do attachments right So do people instead use links Of course then you have to make sure you keep all of the files organized and don't break the links to have traceability. We currently use Rational Requisite Pro which basically puts things in word format, so our product managers are used to putting things in word. So trying to figure out if people use word on their requirements and how they keep the versioned traceability of changes. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Kill connections prior to dropping database

  Hi, I'm working on using VSTS4DBP as my deployment tool for databases and I'm excited about the ability to use it from MSBuild. So, I'm working on my deployment script and one thing I want to do is drop the database if it already exists prior to recreating it again. Hence, I clicked the "Always recreate database" button in the project properties which causes the following to go into the deployment script: IF ( DB_ID ( N 'MyDB' ) IS NOT NULL) DROP DATABASE [MyDB] ; GO That's all good except that if someone is connected to the database (which is a possibility) then the deployment will fail with the message: Error 3 Msg 3702, Level 16, State 4, Line 3 Cannot drop database "MyDB" beca ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Max zoom out or zoom in parameters?

  Is there a way to set the max zoom-put or zoom in MAP parameters Yeah I think that: e.view.zoomLevel In the onstartzoom event should return the zoomlevel requested, no the current zoom level. It would make it much more useful.
