• Smart Device Development Contacts Summary Card

  Hi, I am writing a Messaging Application for a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC device. This is based on the documentation provided on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/mobilesdk5/html/mob5orimessagingoverview.asp and the samples from SDK. I would like to place a "shortcut" in the Contact's Summary Card for the "NewEmail" account created. If a contact has the phone number and the email address fields set up, I would like to see on the Summary Card: Name Call Mobile 14250010001 Sent Text Message 14250010001 Send E-mail newuser@blabla.com Send "NewEmail" I used context menus to place shortcuts in the Contact's menus but I would like to know if it is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Antialias colored regions in an image

  I have a 2D flat image which is filled in with squarish blobs of solid color. Right now their border is simply where one color ends and the next one begins, but it's very "boxy", all striaght lines at right angles. I'd like to smooth them out. Can I use DirectX to take this image and anti-alias these edges to smooth them out If so, how This kind of image processing isn't what Direct3D was mainly designed for. Although you can use D3D to let the hardware blur your texture (or execute whatever pixel shader that modifies your image), I highly recommend using a pure C/C++ image manipulation library (e.g. ImageMagick). ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies How to search inside of PDFs?

  How can you search the text of PDF files using Windows Desktop Search 3 Beta 2. I also have Windows XP Professional, Adobe 7 and Office 2003. Actually, Foxit ifilter works with WDS 3. But it doesn't seem to allow previewing of documents -- in fact it automatically opens them in a full window. Any idea why it does this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Knowing when a .NET application is 'busy'

  OK, here's a good one... I'm currently working on a data driven application with sets on top of a networked instance of SQL server. At many points in the application the server response time may be more than a few a seconds causing the app to just 'hang' unresponsively until the call returns and updates it. In addition, the app does several potentially intensive processing routines client side which may also take a great deal of time and in turn cause the app to hang unresponsively. So in lieu of just searching empirically for all the potential hang spots in the application is there a way to just monitor application as a whole watching for hangs so I can pop a busy bar to the user For example, is there a way to watch the AppDomain or the ...Show All

• SQL Server The query processor ran out of internal resources

  Hi, I have MS SQL Express installed on my local machine and I have problems runnig some unit tests. Precisely, an exception is thrown as follows: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException : The query processor ran out of internal resources and could not produce a query plan. This is a rare event and only expected for extremely complex queries or queries that reference a very large number of tables or partitions. Please simplify the query. If you believe you have received this message in error, contact Customer Support Services for more information. Nevertheless, everythin is ok on the server, where MS SQL Developer Edition is installed. What can be the reason for such behavior ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checking existence of form

  Using VB.Net 2003 My app has buttons that open other forms. So when I press the button for Parts Listing the code behind my button is as follows. Private Sub btnParts_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnParts.Click Dim parts As New PartList parts.ShowDialog() End Sub When I click the button multiple times I don't want to create a new instance of the form if one already exists. Is there a way to check for this I know I can enable=false but there are other ways to get around this in my app. thanks tattoo You could create a class holding globals for your app. Upon form creation hand each new form a refer ...Show All

• .NET Development How many CLR Instances is created when multiple windows application is running on single OS ??

  Hi, I have seen many sites for dotnet that say all the AppDomains are created in single OS process and AppDomains hosted in the same Windows process share the same resources such as the CLR,the base .NET types, the addressing space and threads. So my question is how many instances of CLR will be created when multiple windows application is invoke in a single OS. and how many Garbage Collector will work in this case Thnk.. Fey Each physical process gets its own copy of the CLR because each is hosted separately. Thus if you create 3 instances of your .NET app you will have 3 copies of the CLR running. Each process will have at least one AppDomain. Where it gets sort of tricky is with domain-neutral assembl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is there a way to specify the namespace in the DLinq Designer?

  I am referring to the May 2006 CTP. Am I missing it Or is it not there If not, it seems like a necessary feature. Without it, some may be forced into editing the generated code. I see a setting for naming the DataContext. This seems like a natural place to be able to edit the namespace. Thanks. You guys got me on my birthday...I am not sure that one counts. ;-) I took the day off and slept all day. Been staying up way too late, far too many nights. And wouldn't you know that would be the day you guys would sneak out the release on me...and early to boot! The good news is that the March Orcas CTP and I have the same birthday. I don't suppose I could convince you guys to coordinate the RTM release for the same day in 2008, could I ...Show All

• SQL Server Headers and Parameters

  I've just started to use SSRS in conjuction with MS CRM and I have come across a couple of issues. The first is I have a report with nothing on it but a subreport. The subreport has a header with a plain ol' text box and an embedded image (logo). The header shows up in the preview in Visual Studio but disappears when the report in view in Report Manager or CRM. My next issue is I have another report which keeps returning the error: the paramter "x" is read-only. The parmeter is an internal parameter and no matter what I do with it, I cannot get rid of the error. I find it especially confusing because the report just started throwing the error ou or the blue. Thanks for any help! The subreport issue, is a 'feature ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Correlation

  Hello - I am new to this workflow technology. Can someone please explain what is correlation and correlation tokens.   A simple example code will be of great help. Correlation is a means to identify that two pieces of information (or messages) are related. This is important in systems where things don't happen in sequence but may happen at any time. A good example of correlation would be an order ID from an order your place at Amazon. At each step of the order process Amazon can identify which order it is by using this ID. A correlation token is defined here . A good code sample to help understand this would be the Simple Human Workflow sample . -- Bryant ...Show All
