• Windows Forms This BackgroundWorker is currently busy and cannot run multiple tasks concurrently.

• Visual Studio Problem with IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(), please help.

  Hi All, I am writing a VSPackage for providing source control operations on Solution and Projects in Visual Studio 2005. I did implement the interface IVsSccManager2 and the function GetSccGlyph() appears to work fine for files. I really want the function GetSccGlyph() to work for folders (directories) as well. I could not figure that out, so I decided to use the function IVsHierarchy.SetProperty(). Here is an example of how I am calling it - hierarchy.SetProperty(itemId, ( int ) __VSHPROPID .VSHPROPID_StateIconIndex, VsStateIcon .STATEICON_CHECKEDOUT ); itemId is the Item Id of folder. This function does not seem to do anything. I also followed the SetProperty() call by IVsSccProject2. SccGlyphChanged () . Same result. ...Show All

• SQL Server Population size in Naive Bayesian algorithm

  Hi, I am working with Naive Bayesian Algorithm and I do not understand why if the original table has 8.000 rcds the size of the entire population shown in Hystogram viewer is only of 2000. Do you have any answer Histogram In the Attribute Profiles part of the viewer If this is the case, then the most probable cause is that teh column you marked as Key in the mining structure does not contain unique values. Another possibility is that some of the conditional probabilities detected by the algorithm fall below the limit considered by the algorithm (which is controlled by the MINIMUM_DEPENDENCY_PROBABILITY algorithm parameter). So -- you could make sure that the key is unique, or lower the value ...Show All

• Visual Basic System date and time sync

  I am just getting into programming in vb, and working on a small app for my work. I need some way to sync back to a server for date and time. If the sync fails, the purge will not run. I wanted to use net time \\servername /set /y Is there a way to verify if the system sync'ed I have been looking into the date information and cannot find any easy solutions. I would use straight .net commands if I knew how. The only stipulation is that it must be able to correct both an incorrect date and time, unlike windows time service. Thanks Darren Thanks, I figured out a way to run this. If you call a batch that does net time and then use the error level to edit a reg key, you can do the time sync and ba ...Show All

I need help to find a workaround. Is there a equivalent of Before Insert trigger Also realised that the locgical 'inserted' table cannot be updated. Advice pls. You need to modify your SMS gateway to insert the values properly using parameterized commands and not by value or forming the entire DML statement dynamically. You can't catch these type of errors in triggers because the validations happen before statement execution. Using parameterized commands will eliminate the need to escape any sort of spec ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Extending XAML for WPF/E

  Hi, Even if the X in XAML stands for Extensible I have understood that the XAML that WPF/E understands is not really Extensible, rather WPF/E works with a fixed schema. If this is true it means that it is not possible tag XAML-elements by adding metadata as custom attributes from your own namespace, something that is essential in making the graphics 'smart'. The consequense is that the metadata has to be separate (XML-island, javascript objects...) and accessed by using x:Name as the key or some other workaround. I would really hope to hear that I'm wrong so please correct me that's the case ! Tim Shawn is correct - nothing planned to enable custom namespaces or custom elements for the "r ...Show All

• .NET Development Server connection timeout

  Hi guys, I am using the code below to connect to a server. This works fine on all the machines I have ever tried to connect to but a new server has recently been added on which it seems to timeout randomly. It would normally take 8secs to connect & retrieve information from a server but this takes 2 minutes on those random occasions.
