• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Porting WDDM to Xp

  Found on some website that mentioned Microsoft will port vista display foundation that take advantage of dx9 graphic card to win xp and win server 2003 which will eliminate the tear off effect when windows is dragged across the desktop. Is it true It should be an optional upgrade add-on... Any ideas or suggestions Thanks for reply. All the sources I've read say that WDDM will be for Vista only. The Driver Model is deep down in the core of Windows and making such a drastic change to a central part of an existing operating system would require a MASSIVE effort on Microsoft's part including making sure that existing apps run properly when using it. The only updates we'll see to XP are new high l ...Show All

Don't suggest using Outlook as often we only print the first page of emails as we already have the rest of the email on file especial ...Show All

• Visual Studio A problem with visual 2003

  Hello, I start debug on the first line of code. The program does not respond. When I try to break in the debug, I get: Unable to break execution. The process does not contain any programs Have any idea what does that mean Someone told me it might be because of some static members, initialized. But crippling the debugger like this What can it be and what should I do to discover the cause of this If I just run it in release mode without debugging then the program works.

• Visual Studio Express Editions reverting to default radiobutton checkstates

  I have a dialog with some radiobuttons on it. I want to 'get' the .check value from each when it(the dialog box) loads-before any changes are made. Then when the OK button is pressed, the boolean values are renewed with the new values that the user clicked, but if the Cancel button is pressed, then no matter what changes were made, everything is put 'where it was', so to speak. OK.... I have a solution that I like... but it may be a bit scary. It's not Rocket Science. I made an extended radio Button Control dll. It's very very simple. The entire DLL looks like this: Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms ' Must add this as a project reference also Public Class Rb Inherits System.Windows.Forms. ...Show All

• SQL Server Triggers

  Hi, I am pretty new to SQL triggers. I want to create a trigger so if there is any updates on any record, the trigger will insert something to another table. My problem is whenever I have an update for multiple records, only the last record got inserted to another table. Looks like the "inserted" only retain the last record updated. Here's sample of my code create trigger UPDATE_INVENTORY on Inventory FOR UPDATE AS DECLARE @LocationID int DECLARE @TID int DECLARE @doUpdate bit FOR EACH RECORD SELECT @LocationID = LocationID, @TID = TID, @doUpdate = DoUpdate from inserted IF @doUpdate = 1 BEGIN INSERT INTO [Update](LocationID, TableCode, ID, Type) VALUES (@LocationID, 2, @TID, 'UPDATE') END ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remote debugging with VS 2005 when TCP/IP filtering is on

  I have an embedded XP environment where TCP/IP filtering is turned on and only a small number of ports are allowed to be open. With MSVCMON, we knew which ports were needed and we'd open them up to allow DevStudio sessions to remote debug. With VS 2005, MSVSMON "seems" to allow you to select a port (like dbgserver for Windbg), but when I try to connect I still am told that I cannot connect. I did some network sniffing, and saw that VS did an initial handshake on the specified port, but then switched to some other, random port, which is not opened on the server and therefore led to the debug session failing. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to use MSVSMON in this type of environment where I want to know (and control) which por ...Show All

• SQL Server How to: join 1 table to 2 columns in another table?

  I have two tables: Orders, with OrderID as primary key, a code for the client, and a code for the place of delivery/receipant. Both the client and place of delivery should be linked to the table: Relations, where each relation has it's own PrimaryID which is a auto-numbered ID. Now I want to substract my orders, with both the clientcode, and the place of delivery code linked to the relations table, so that for both the name and adress is shown.
