• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Designer Backup/Restore problem

  I am trying to use Sharepoint Designer's backup and restore functionality to move a site from one server to another. The backup seems to complete successfully, but when I go to restore the site I get an error that looks like this: Cannot find C:\Windows\Temp\.......\exportsettings.xml. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem I'm encountering a similar problem but with a bit of a twist. I completed the backup of the site when we were still on WSS 2.0, and this created a .fwp file that I was able to restore the site with using Sharepoint Designer. It appears that the new file extension for WSS3.0 is .cmp and I'm wondering if I will be able to restore the site. Any input is g ...Show All

• .NET Development Hosting Remoting objects in IIS

  Hello everybody, is it a better option to host remoting server objects in a window service or IIS i would like to know your opinions. thanx bhavtosh Hi, Hosting it on IIS gives you all the access framework, security, pools, availability. You can have also these features hosting the service using a winservice or a console app but you will have to write your own handlers. Also, IIS will serialize using HTML only (I think this has changed on .NET 2), where HTML is plain text generating bigger packages. Therefore, slower but more adaptable with less code. If you host your own service you can use Binary Serialization that is smaller, therefore faster connection but the other end should know how to diserialize it. Reg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Uninstall Questions

  I'm going through the control panel, add or remove software tool, and the uninstallation has now crashed 2 completely different computers. It never finishes. Then when I come back and go to uninstall again, I receive nothing but errors. Any ideas Thanks in advance. I don't really understand what you're asking me to do. Are you giving me something to type in c:/ I don't know what the above program is, so I fear it. And what is %temp% Just making sure, but I'm trying to uninstall the program. It seems odd that I have to run a program to get rid of one. But thank you for helping, I'll do what it takes. ...Show All

• SQL Server Works fine inside BI Dev. Studio, but fails when scheduling it in SQL server 2005.

  Hi! We are currently developing a project in SQLIS using the BI dev. studio. The package executes with no problems in the development environment, but when I try to deploy it and execute it using the SQL Server Agent, the package fails. "Work flow" ----------- 01.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS API - create label not working from web application

  Hi, I've been struggling with this issue in the last days and I hope someone outhere has the answer: I'm working on a source control application which uses TFS API. among other things this application creates a label. The project which handles all the work with the TFS is an assembly and the user interface I choose is a web UI. the code which performs the creation of the label is as follows: public bool CreateLabel( string labelName, string itemSpecStr, string comment) { string labelOwner = versionControl.AuthenticatedUser; string labelScope = "$/Rich Media Platform/RMP" ; string labelComment = "Example label showing API usage" ; string [] itemSpecArray = itemSpecStr.Split( ',' ); try ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler Crash

  OK I know I shouldn't have written it, it was a result of some slow responses on the machine that a class name got replaced by a bracket, and I;ve thrown away a lot of unnecessary stuff however:make a file containing typedef struct {} (; And the compiler will crash. .Net 2005, I haven't tried it on 2003 or Team System.

• Windows Forms Controls appear attractive in design but not runtime

  Hello, I have recently upgraded a number of VS projects into 2005 and I have noticed that for each of these applications the user controls appear different at runtime. When using the designer in 2005 the buttons appear rounded, and more user-friendly (like the buttons in IE) however at runtime (or during debug) all controls appear a ugly, grey, windows 2000 style appearance. If I create an Windows Forms application from scratch in 2005 I get the attractive controls in all cases - It just seems to be the upgrade. Any ideas Regards, Luc Pettett Andrej, Both of these have been set - it is a problem which has occured with all of my VS2003 -> VS2005 conversions.... ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting debug information....

  How does one setup the XNA express IDE to receive debugging code. InvalidCallExceptions aren't very helpful in tracking down the problem. We don't have the DirectX sdk installed so we can't switch to debug drivers. How can we set this up TIA, lushdog The reason why you don’t see the messages is that messages from the unmanaged DirectX are not shown. The output window shows only messages from the managed part of the code. You can change this in the pro version but I am unsure if this switch is available in the express version. You could use an external Debug Monitor: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/DebugView.html ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT compile error when using XslCompiledTransform.Load indirectly called from unmanaged code.

  I have a component I wrote in C#. Among other things it performs a XSLT transform on XML data it collects. When I test this feature using another C# project that uses the component it works just fine. However when I export the component as a COM component and try to use this feature from a unmanaged application it fails on the XslCompiledTransform.Load command with an XSLT compile error. If I take out the template tags then it loads just fine, of course it will not actually do anything then either. Thanks for any help you can provide, Rich Inner exception: {"Overflow or underflow in the arithmetic operation."} Stack Trace: at System.Xml.Xsl.Xslt.QilGenerator.Compile(Compiler ...Show All
