• Internet Explorer Development XML DOM using JavaScript

  Hi everybody how r u Actually i am really in big trouble for very small problem i guess. I am manipulating a xml file using xml dom using javascript, after manipulating the dom tree internally, when i tried to save the file i am getting "permission denied" error.

Thanks a lot. Hi Dig, I came across this problem quite a lot and I identified ...Show All

• Visual J# vjc error

  Hi; Ok, while building my solution using nant vjc is throwing an exception. I told it to debug in VS 2005 and the error is at malloc.c: void * __cdecl _malloc_base (size_t size) { void *res = NULL; // validate size if (size <= _HEAP_MAXREQ) { for (;;) { // allocate memory block res = _heap_alloc(size); where size = 0. It throws the exception deep under that code but I think the size=0 may be the problem. The call stack is: kernel32.dll!7c812a5b() [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for kernel32.dll] kernel32.dll!7c812a5b() vjsc.dll!6d90d727() vjsc.dll!6d930468() vjsc.dll!6d930480() vjsc.dll!6d8f53a6() ntdll.dll!7c9118f1() ntdll.dll!7c911902() ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sorting an ObservableCollection<T>

  I was recently using a List<T> to keep track of my data, but we had to move to an ObservableCollection<T> because it will eventually be used in binding to a UI. I was using the List<T>.Sort(IComparer<T>) to sort the list, but it appears that ObservableCollection<T> does not implement this. Is there a way to sort it or do I have to do that manually It seems odd to have to redo this work that clearly is already implemented in .Net but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I figured it was worth asking about. Thanks for the help. Have anyone a performed sorting algorithm for the ObservableCollection<T> Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can you pass a variable from a Windows Form to a CR Selection Formula?

  Hi all, I would like to select  a record in CR report by passing a variable to it from a Windows Form so that when I select a record on my Win Fom only the corresponding record is displayed in my report. Or, maybe you have a different way to accomplish the same. I am using VS Pro 2005 in VB language with Crystal Reports for VS .NET. Thanks in advance!     Yes you can! Basically, in your report you need to define a "parameter" that will hold the value you want to pass and use that parameter in the filter formula of the report; from your VB program you'll then pass the needed value at runtime. Let's see it in an example (suppose that you need to filter your reco ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Artifacts can we/should we version for SharePoint development

  What artifacts would we version in VSS when working on SharePoint portal sites (i.e. Could we some type of “source code” or something that we could go back to the previous version of the site, if we so desired) as well as compare new site with the previous site. For example, if I assigned a developer to work on the portal and design a page for it, would be the final output to store in VSS. (is it even possible ) or do we have to do a full DB backup/restore to get that functionality. Could we export the site as some sort of “meta-language” i.e. XML or something like that and then “import the site” into another instance. What to store in VSS and what to restore (DB, backup and restore) depe ...Show All

• SQL Server Select All = no Result

  hey there I have parameters in my report set up CallStatus = string Available Values are non-queried and values are listed in the value list closed, open, pending, select all If I choose each one separately I get a result - if I choose select all I get no result. This worked fine attaching to another datasource - I have now attached it to a new source. Tried altering the relationship to properties to a left outer join but this made no difference. Can someone tell me what else I should check thanks Perhaps if you use a wildcard and modify the 'select all' value to a space like this: IF (@CallStatus = 'select all') SELECT @CallStatus = '' SELECT Company.CompanyName, Ticket ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Absolute and relative mouse movement

  Usually when dealing with mouse input you want the data from the mouse in two forms, one is absolute that you might use to draw a cursor or know which part of the window/screen a user has clicked on, and the other is relative where you are only interested in how much the mouse has moved. Currently, the MouseState only seems to report the mouse movement in the absolute form. This means anyone using the mouse to control, for example, a first person camera would find their movement limited by the size of their window/screen. I have tried playing around with the Mouse.IsCaptured property but it doesn't seem to make much difference, quite possibly because I don't know how to use it. Am I correct in thinking that getting relative mouse input dat ...Show All

• Visual Basic Advanced data bindings and DBNull

  My project reads dates back from SQL Server and displayes then using a Details view. In some instances, two of the dates displayed are meaningless data, they only apply if another value is set. Under DataBindings - Advanced, I notice you can set a NullValue to display in the event of a DBNull being returned. Well, the fields are Null (at least according to the Show Data function in Database Explorer) but regardless of what I put in the box, today's date is always displayed when I run the application. Rich If you're using a DateTimePicker it will have to display some date value. Since it's a calculated value (not one the user is to change directly) you can probably test for it being null on ...Show All
