• Visual Studio Team System An overlapping product in SQL Server???

  Hi, I spotted the following job advert: http://members.microsoft.com:80/careers/search/details.aspx JobID=ADA9F7F7-97D2-4B45-B2E1-8919E5525BA0&AllCl=Y&start=1&interval=68&SortCol=DatePosted&SortOrder=DEF Seems to me that the product their talking about has alot of overlap with datadude. What's the deal here -Jamie I cannot comment on any future product plans outside the scope of my team; I can say we are actively working together with the SQL Server team on integration and futures. However our product is not going to be exclusive to SQL Server, we will be supporting different database backends in a future release through a schema provider mechanism. -GertD ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to install additional filters into the XPSDrv Filter Pipeline.

  There are a number of references in the documentation that suggest it should be possible to add additional filters, beyond those supplied by the printer driver's manufacturer, to the pipeline. Specifically, the latest Windows Driver Kit (build 5744) says this (on the topic of Filter Pipeline Configuration File): Vendor driver functionality should be primarily in R1 (print processing) and R3 (rendering). You should limit Administrator modification to R0, R2, and RE. The separate regions allow filters from several pipeline configuration files to be combined together in a deterministic way. A separate pipeline configuration can, for example, specify a watermark and an accounting filter that are to be inserted into every dri ...Show All

• Visual Basic Iterating through a given component type in a VB form

  Hello all, I am looking for a way to iterate through a given component type in a VB form. For example, if I want to go through all the buttons found in a given form and change their text to "XYZ", is there perhaps a "For Each" technique to do that The alternative is an ugly hardcoding of the button names, in the above example, and changing their text one by one ... not what I want. Cheers all. N.

  Hi, I am having a problem in applying subscription to a report. Here is my case: I have a datasource with 'Windows integrated security ' authentication, yes....I am using windows domain authentication, so login info is not stored in DB but its authenticated from domain.

• Visual Studio Current Projects Generate DLL Libraries That Will On Run On Compilation Machine

  After updating my Visual Studio 2005, running previously without problem on an XP based laptop, to service pack 1 yesterday I now have a really strange effect. A C code DLL that compiled and ran perfectly OK before will now run only on the machine on which it was compiled. On other XP machines it will not load at all. Of course I considered that some system DLL's must be missing but after runnung Depends on the XP machine on which it will and will not run this does not see to be the case and I am at a loss as to what is going on. I also moved the entire project onto another development machine and recompiled there. This DLL version runs without any problem on all the machines I was testing with.

  I have managed to get images stored in blob fields in a MySql table from a file and can retrieve them to an Image variable and display them no problem... How can I then take an Image and store it back into the database, need to convert the Image to a Byte() but every attempt at what seems logical to me fails. Currently I have to keep the files and store from file everytime I update as reading a stream into byte is easy, this is the coode for that part:.
