• Visual Studio Documentation Compiler - Sandcastle

  We did code complete of documentation compiler ( code named "Sandcastle") on June 15th and currently we are testing the tool building our .NetFramework documentation. We would like to release the CTP version of Sandcastle in Microsoft download center by next week. The perf in our testing has been great as we are able to build the entire framework content in less than 1 hour. I am in the process of going through final check and code signing required to post this in our download center. Please expect the CTP in the next week or so and I will provide an update here as soon I post the CTP. Anand..

• Visual Studio Team System DataGenertionPlans

  Hi, I imported the NorthWindSchema into a SQL Server 2005 database project. Then I created a datagenerationplan and kept all the defaults. I setup my Project Properties->Build>Target NorthWindOnline and connection to SQL Serve Express. When I go into the properties window of the DGP and try to change the Build Action from "Not in Build" to "Build" I get the following error: "Unable to find valid scheam object identifier in the file.

• SQL Server Can not get notification after modifying ADF.xml?

  I reregister and restart my instances after modifying ADF.xml,but still have no any of notifications any idea about that Thanks After modifying your source xml documents, the ICF and ADF, you should update the instance (right click, Tasks, update in SSMS or NSControl update from the command line) to modify the instance. Check the output in either case to make sure the changes were successfully applied. If you've modified the SubscriptionClass, rather than altering the underlying subscription table, the update process renames the existing table and creates a new one. The new one is empty, without rows. You'll need to manually migrate the subscription data to the new table, taking into account the alt ...Show All

• Visual Basic ByRef error though parameter is passed by ByVal

  I'm getting an error while trying to fill a grid (third party). The code is as follows: Public Sub FillTheGrid(ByRef one As String, ByRef two As String, ByRef three As String) Dim s As String Dim e As Short = 0 s = (one & Chr(9) & two & Chr(9) & three).ToString e = grdUAH.AddItem(s, 0) <--- Error for this grdUAH.Row = 0 grdUAH.Col = 1 grdUAH.CtlRefresh() End Sub Though there is no value passed a ByRef, I get the error as: Byref value type parameter cannot be null. If I comment out the line e = grdUAH.AddItem(s, 0), there is no error!

• .NET Development A 100 second timeout somewhere causing Unauthorized error

  We have an ASP.NET application that calls a web service on another host. Normally everything works fine but if I wait 100 seconds between two calls to the web service I get an 401: Unauthorized error. If I just press F5 (when the error page appears) the page is displayed as it should so there is just not any authorization problem. Ive looked everywhere and nothing helps. What can be the problem Hi again. I really dont have enough knowledge for this but I tried to change the Authentication methods in IIS to: Enable Anonymous Access and specifying a user I created on the webserver with administrative privelidges (I wont be allowed to do that on the production server but I guess I can fix that problem ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is it safe to put a destructor function in a private part of a class?

  e.g. class demo { private : // member declarations ~demo() { ... } public: ... }; Under what circumstances the MS C/C++ compiler does not compile the above code This class can be compiled, but any client code which tries to delete class object is not compiled, because destructor is private. Private destructor and constructor make sence only when class instance is created and released by class function. For example, it is possible to write static class function which creates and releases class instance. See various implementations of singleton design pattern which do this. ...Show All

• SQL Server calendar format

  Hi, everybody. I have a problem with the calendar. I have a parameter from datetime type. But I want to change this calendar's format. When I click the calendar button near the parameter textbox and select a date like 14.3.2001, 3.14.2001 is written to the textbox. And this causes to an error.(Because 14 can't be a month number) How can I change that parameter's format or calendar's format Any idea about this Daniel Reib wrote: The date supplied to the calendar is based on the accept language for the browser. In IE look at Tools->Internet Options->Languages and make sure the top language is what you expect. Thanks I did what you said but it didn't work. Because I am not working on IE now . ...Show All

• SQL Server Mysteriously dropped rows using Data Flow Task

  I'm using the Data Flow Task to load data from a flat file into a SQL table and I'm missing rows. And there doesn't see to be any consistent or obvious reason why. When I use the Bulk Insert Task I import the correct number of rows from the flat file. But when I use the Data Flow task and use a Flat File Source connected to a OLE DB Destination I get about 1/3 the right number of rows. So looking at these loaded tables at the same time I notice that the Data Flow Task method just skips rows sometimes. Why does this happen just for people looking around; this issue got addres in other post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=884012&SiteID=1 Rafael Salas ...Show All

• Architecture Active Directory , Exporting xml as users

  We have an application that churns out xml a collection of user details and credentials.We have decided to have a central repositry as Active directory.I want to test it using windows xp without a windows 2000 or 2003 server.Is it possible , if so, How You might want to try using ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) which is a cut down version of AD. There are some differences between AD and ADAM but it might allow you to test your code without needing a full Active Directory installation. If you just need a repository of users then you might consider ADAM instead of AD anyway as it is much easier to setup. If you need any code or instructions then let me know and ill post some links ...Show All

• .NET Development Application Current Working Folder

  Hi I want to be able to get hold of the name of the current working folder that my application is running in. I tried Application.StartupPath but this always gives the folder the executable was loaded from. It is possible for example on a shortcut to set a Start In folder which is not where the executable is loaded from but is the current working folder. Thanks   There are many ways of getting application folder. Some are good some are bad. But the main difference between those methods is that some are constant and some are changeable. I will sort four methods in order from best to worse: AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory  (best) Application.StartupDirectory  good but re ...Show All

• SQL Server output parameter in CLR stored procedure written in C++

  How can I declare output parameter in stored procedure, written in C++/CLR In C# it is proc_name( out SqlInt32 value ). In VB.NET it is proc_name( <Out()> ByRef value As SqlInt32 ). And in C++ Thanks a lot for support. It is not enough to declare parameter as reference. You could see in samples that for C# and VB.NET used special terms - "out" and "<Out()>" accordingly. So all what I need - such special term for C++. Without it SQL Server, creating Assembly, cannot recognize where is output parameter in appropriate method declaration. ...Show All
