• Windows Live Developer Forums Can anybody help me out with some code...

  to get me started I know a little SQL [mySQL is what my hosting service offers], a little less PHP and even less Java - I am fighting the local live API - but I need to get some mappoints [name, lat, lon] pulled from a SQL database (actually it does not have to be sql, since our main database is filemaker pro and it is not sql - so if it can be done from a csv, or excel, or something along those lines... just as well] and map them... I actually have a ton of mappoints [4000+], though having them pulled based on the map that is showing might be too much to begin with..... Can anybody point me to some code that gets me started   Thanks a lot elwood Thanks guys.... and John got it right.... server side.... yup, not o ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using X509 Certificate in WCF

  Hi, I have created a Windows Service in Visualstudio 2005 and created a service host in the OnStart() method to run the service host created when the windows service is run. To run I created a setup project and configure it to install my service on the local machine but when I am running the service an error is generated and is written in the event viewer as : Cannot find the X.509 certificate using the following search criteria: StoreName 'TrustedPublisher', StoreLocation 'LocalMachine', FindType 'FindBySubjectName', FindValue 'ADIANCE08\Administrator'.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Replacing XLA with COM Automation Add-In

  Hello all, We've got a bit of a problem here that we hope you can help us with. We've just developed a COM automation add-in in Visual Studio 2005 (C#) to replace an XLA add in. To ease the conversion, we named most of the functions exported by the COM library to the same name as those in the XLA file. However, our problem is that on removing the XLA file and adding in the COM automation add-in to a workbook, the excel spreadsheets cannot reference the new method calls which have the same name as the old calls in the XLA. If we create a new worksheet and add in the automation item, then the calls work fine. For example, the UDF call CBSpot existed in the XLA. When we remove the XLA and add in the automation DLL CBSpot can't be resolve ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Great news, looking forward to make authoring tool

  I am glad MS got involved in HD DVD as this is the technology that is based on already proven and decade tested DVD technology. I am looking forward to start making a HD authoring software once these things get some legs (like a way to play the iHD :-). (I am the author of DVD-lab PRO from www.mediachance.com ) Thanks to the iHD developers at MS to push HD DVD. It certainly did help to speed up the HD-DVD when MS got involved! Hi OscarM, I've never use DVD-lab PRO, so not really familiar w/ the s/w. Are you planning to create HD-DVD / iHD authoring s/w where user can create playlist, markups, scripts and the ability to preview (simulator) the iHD animation When do you think you can start and finish t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to create a Popup control that has the look of a callout window in Excel Autoshapes collection

  I need to create a popup window which has a bunch of controls in it, when user presses a button control. The look of the popup window needs to be like the Callout box that appears as part of Excel's autoshapes collection. Another example is in Windows the little popup window that appears on the "install update" startup icon on the taskbar. When we startup the machine the popup window appears which has the msg "Updates available" displayed in it. Is there a way to create this kind of stylised popup window in WPF Thanks, John, Thank you for your prompt reply.

• SQL Server Great Plains database replication

  Our company has a database server (Windows Server 2003 x64 EE w/ SQL Server 2005 x64 EE) that has Great Plains installed. We have a database for one of our companies that I would like to begin replicating to another server. The reason behind this is that we want to run the GP/CRM Connector which requires 32-bit ODBC connections. Anyways, what I need to do is enable replication to our 32-bit server. We have been successful in making this happen from 64-bit to 32-bit with a much smaller database. When I go to enable peer-to-peer in the properties of the publication (which I set up using all of the default settings), SQL Management Studio will hang and run for days while appearing to be working. However, when we end up killing Management S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can I use load tests to get these results?

  Hi, I've been trying to figure out how do use the load tests to achieve what my team needs. I've asked different questions and got very usefull answers, but still can't quite figure out how to get the results we need. So, I decided to just describe what we need and hopefully someone knows how to do it or will send me in the right direction. We have a web application that we host for our clients. We suspect that there's a memory leak in one of the pages. Over time, our .Net application has to be restarted and we suspect that it's due to the memory leakage. We would like to use Visual Studio load tests to find out the relationship between how many times this page gets loaded and how much memory is being used (to see that the more the p ...Show All
