• Windows Search Technologies "Unable to display preview." on network share results

  I'm using Desktop Search 3.0 RTW along with the UNC/FAT add-in, and I'm getting an "Unable to display preview" message on every result that's not on my local machine (e.g., my R: or Z: drive over the network). Is there a problem or am I doing something wrong Thanks, Tim Tim, Unfortunately, previews are not currently supported with the UNC/FAT protocol handler. We are working on fixing this in future releases of the add-in. Paul Nystrom - MSFT ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista USB Video (UVC) extension unit

  I am having difficulty accessing UVC extension units using DirectShow IKsControl::KsProperty. When I try doing KSPROPERTY_TYPE_GET | KSPROPERTY_TYPE_TOPOLOGY on PropertyId 0, I get back the extension unit GUID and six additional bytes (1,1,3,2,1,0,6) which do not seem to be defined in the DDK. PropertyId 1 returns error 0x80070490. Any suggestions The data for KSPROPERTY_EXTENSION_UNIT_INFO (PropertyId = 0) is copied over from the device's extension unit descriptor which is cached during device startup. During startup, the driver issues a number of control requests to the device like GET_INFO, GET_LEN, GET_MIN and GET_MAX. The value returned by GET_INFO tells the driver which of GET and SET requests are v ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Just to clarify TeamSystem license - TFS

  I have been reading a lot of different information about TFS x TeamSystem license model, concerning Cals etc One thing I am almost sure is when we sign for MSDN Premium TeamSystem (whether Suite, Dev, Tester or Arch), we do have rights for 5 CALs to access TFS. Another issue has to do with using this package after expiration. I have posted previously about the possibility of signing for MSDN Premium TeamSystetm Suite, and when renewing, choosing a lower package (tester for instance). In this case, I would not receive any other new features on the other versions (in this case Dev and Arch), but I would be fully license covered to continue using the whole package I had up to that moment. Could anyone from Microsoft confirm this 2 in ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Internet Explorer Toolbar (Menu Bar) disappeared after installing IE 7

  I use yahoo as my homepage, when the "Get IE7 now!" appeared in the toolbar, I clicked on it and installed it. Big Mistake so far...Here's the problem, after installing my IE menu bar (toolbar) containing "File, Edit, View, tools, help" vanished and I can't figure out how to retrieve it or get it back. I have checked and it is not hidden behind another toolbar. Along with that, The IE blue bar at the top & small bars at the bottom contain no information of the URL (webpage) when pages are loaded. In the Yahoo toolbar, under the pencil icon- there is no standard toolbar listed anymore. Also my tabs disappeared from yahoo and under the toolbar options there no longer is a check box to "Enable Tabbed Browsin ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I validate an dataviewgrid and also allow canceling?

  I have a datagridview that I'm letting users enter data into. It is unbound...well it is bound to a datatable I create when the form loads. I want to validate the cells. I used cellvalidateing to check for length, if empty, etc. Seemed to work fine. Until I tried to press the cancel button on the form to close the form. I could not leave the datacell. Is there a way to cancel the validating when a certain button is pressed Is there another way I should be validating Does anyone have examples Thanks. I suggest that you use the DefaultValuesNeeded event to provide default valid value. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums LatLongToPixel and custom popup balloon

  I am trying to use the VEMap.LatLongToPixel method to return the pixel location of the lat/long of a pushpin. I want to use this information to pull up a custom panel next to the pushpin instead of the default popup. However, when I do this I get some weird numbers. For example: function DoLLToPixel(lat,lon) { var point = map.LatLongToPixel(new VELatLong(lat, lon)); alert("The lat/long entered is at pixel: x="+point.x+", y="+point.y) } I get some weird numbers running this that are in no way the correct pixel. When I run this I get -981 and -3304. If I add just 1 to the lat and long it jumps to -3894 and -6819. I cannot find much on LatLongToPixel that would give me some hints. My plan is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Versioning and multi-site deployments

  Hi, We have an asp.net web-based product which we will eventually be deploying to different web servers at our various client locations. Each of our clients eventually will need customizations\enhancements which will have to be developed, tested and deployed specifically to each client's webserver. My question is how do we handle versioning for this in TFS for our asp.net solution Scenario1: Split the source code out, with a separate branch for each client. This would be cumbersome from a maintenance point of view, due to extra effort of syncing common changes across all branches. Scenario2: Have a main branch which has the common source for all clients. Have client-specific folders where enhancements for each client are versi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Changes aren't visible after recompile

  This has always worked for me, but recently when I run or debug my app from VS2005 any changes I've made aren't there. If I hunt down the .exe in the bin directory, and run that, the changes are there. This may have started around the time I started publishing the project - I have it installed as a user application on my system now. Any thoughts Thanks!
