• Audio and Video Development Using external style sheets

  Is there a way to use external style sheets without having to use include for the styling section of the markup file XSS My idea is to have the same menu markup file for 2 menus with slightly different styling. Well, in theory you would do it via a GPRM (I was mistaken when I said script would work -- you can't set XPath variables until the markup is loaded, but the expression is only evaluated before the markup is fully loaded!) Unfortunately HDiSim has some bugs with the include attribute where it expects a nodeset rather than a boolean... so right now it looks like an include for the body is the easiest thing to do. ...Show All

• Visual Studio timestamp file names

Yes this is what I have now done. I thought this would cause problems with the debugger, but it doesn't. Many thanks, Jim. ...Show All

• .NET Development Converting Wordml to Pure XML

  Hey, I am currently working on a WordML document with just a 3 x 3 Table and all I want to do is convert the WordML into a Pure XML. I tried to write an XSL for the WordML but its an Ocean... Can anyone help me with this. Thanks, Vidya. Hi, This will be real easy to do. If you load the WordML document into a XmlDocument object you'll be able to use methods like SelectSingleNode() with an XPath expression or GetElementByID / GetElementsByTagName to find and return the specific <table> node. Can't give any more feed back on this with out seeing the xml you working with but hopefully that should be enough to get you going. ...Show All

• SQL Server Want to see which queries are executing in SQL Management studio

  Without going to the MDI option and getting SQL 2000 windows, is there anyway to get the tabs to show what queries are running   Obviously, you can open the Window menu to see this, but it would nice to be able to just look at the screen and know what's going on. Also, what happened to SQL 2000 Query Analyzer's CTRL + W shortcut for Windows   ALT+W , W is not too much of an extra step, but it is not as convenient.  It would be nice if the Windows would show a globe instead of a partially obscured Exe...  Has anyone else had trouble with this I would post this on the http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ , but the option to submit feedback isn't visible, even in Search.   --Andy ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Memory Leak?

  Heya, I've been working on this 2d game for about a month and a half. A space shooter with a ton of animations. But thats not the problem the problem is recently as the amount of Images has increased I've noticed that the memory usage never stops going up as the game progresses. I know there is some kind of flaw or redundancy in the way i store textures now since the release of beta2 and the content manager. However What would cause memory to keep adding up until the game begins to stutter The structure for storing textures was done before the content manager so it is just a Dictionary class that loads and gets textures loaded via the content manager. The UnloadGraphicsContent method in the game unloads the content mana ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing SQL Server Express

  I am having a problem installing SQL Server Express 2005 from the command line in that it gets part way through and then stops - no message - just terminates. After much rooting around in log files and running a normal install I'm pretty sure that it is stopping because of a warning regarding "Minimum Hardware Requirements". The laptop I'm trying to install it on is a Samsung X05, Centrino 1.4, 1gb RAM and 60gb free disk space. I've tried it on another laptop (Sony with a higher spec.) and get exactly the same problem. As far as I can see the hardware spec is well above the recommended minumum so I'm at a loss as to what to try next to overcome the problem. If anyone has any suggestions then I'd be very grateful. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions project creation failed

  I just got a new laptop with Windows XP Media Center edition on it. After getting rid, stopping, uninstalling, etc, all the extra stuff that the OEM fells compelled to install, I downloaded the VC ISO image and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition - I used all the defaults, so I got MSDN and SQL Server Lite as well. However, when I try and create a new project, I get a dialog box that says "The operation could not completed. The specified module could not be found." This occurs regardless of what template I use - General/Empty or CLR/CLR Empty or any other CLR combo. I've tried re-installing several times with no luck. After searching here, I found a thread that blamed IE7 for this and that Service Pack 1 fixes this problem - I in ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installer

  Hi, I would like to ask on the way to create installer (multi-cab) for my Compact Framework 1.0 application. I don't use SQLCE. Only used some OpenNETCF libraries. Previously, I have been using ezsetup, but, it does not provide me capabilities to perform some custom action given the installation process. For example, I would like the installer to write in PDA registry about the successful installation (if it is sucess) and copy some files across to PDA once it finish install. Same for uninstaller (delete the registry and files) However, if the installation is being cancelled, the registry will be untouched and the file will not be copied as well. I am aware of NSIS and Inno Setup, but, not sure if they have capalities to wri ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development An interesting survey: HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray

  A survey from http://www.dvdtown.com/announcement/hddvdsurveybyipsos/3665/ 1. In response to the question “Which statement best describes how likely you would be to buy an HD DVD player,” respondents were over seven times more likely to buy an HD DVD player vs. a Blu-Ray player when all studios support both formats. a. 57% would definitely or probably buy an HD DVD player vs. 8% for Blu-Ray. b. 25% would definitely buy HD DVD vs. 2% for Blu-Ray. 2. Purchase interest in HD DVD remains three times higher than Blu-Ray -- even without HD DVD studio support from Disney and Fox. a. 56% of respondents would definitely or probably buy an HD DVD player vs. 18% for Blu-Ray. b. 20% would definitely buy HD DVD vs. 6% for Blu-Ray. ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies "Explorer View" locks Active Directory accounts

  We only recently began using Sharepoint corporation-wide, but have begun receiving support calls for locked accounts. We've noticed a pattern that the accounts were locking after the user was browsing around in Sharepoint. I myself am now able to "force" my own account lock by simply clicking "Explorer View" in any document share (note: I am full admin on all Sharepoint web sites). I do in fact get the explorer folder view and can get right-click options, but once I navigate off (for example, by clicking "Home"), I am immediately locked out and receive a login prompt in the browser. Has anyone else had this problem and can shed some light on possible solutions I've tried going through the troubleshooting s ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiple Projects

  I have two projects under one solution. Each of these projects opens the same bound database, Is there any way I can use a common routine to assign the bound database and which app.config should it be in. Share the code that accesses the database. You can either move it into one project, expose public methods for the other project to call, or you can create a third data-access project, and call this from all your other projects. ...Show All

TRY { db.ExecuteSQL(sqlQuery); } CATCH(CDBException, pEx) { TCHAR buff[80]; pEx->GetErrorMessage(buff,80); //AfxMessageBox(buff+sqlQuery); pEx->Delete(); } END_CATCH Maybe you should try multiple INSERT statements in a single ExecuteSQL call. I suppose statements can be separated by new-line. Try this: db.ExecuteSQL("INSERT INTO ....\nINSERT INTO ....\nINSERT INTO ...." ...Show All
