• Visual Basic Total VB beginer - WScript not declared?

• Visual Basic Web History Access

  Hi, in my program, I want to access web history. Web history is stored in the username's documents and settings... I could reference to C://Documents and Settings/username/history location w/e in a web browser but the username changes from user to user, so how would I make it so that i can access the history (anyway) and display it in the program (i believe the only way is a web browser)... The file you need to scan is called index.dat located in the History folder, History folder is a special folder and so internally for some reason hides the index.dat from normal directory searches. There are several copies of index.dat, I guess some have specific days in them. You may have to Google around to find the format of the file so you can ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Anoying shadows

  Hi, i wanne use shadows as a very basic thing in my game for hundrets of objects, so i searched for a way to do this as a shader. I thought this would be the best way. So well, in the NVidia or AT I SDK are alot of samples but first of all they are not really simple and they have a lot of compability issues. I tested both on Geforce 7 and a mobility radeon 9700 but couldn't figure out a working solution for both worlds. Can someone help me with this Does someone know a good tutorial/url/whatever for real shadows as shaders I already searched a lot but XNA and HLSL stuff isn't that well known yet I think.

• SQL Server Do I have to rebuild all my aggs after a ProcessUpdate of my dimensions

  In this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=580892&SiteID=1 Edward told me that doing a ProcessUpdate of your dimensions causes the indexes and aggregations of all your partitions that use those dimensions to get dropped. I am really worried about this. Does this mean that I have to manually rebuild all my indexes and on ALL partitions after I have done the ProcessUpdate or is it done for me Another worry is that if I have a big fact table this could take a long long long time. In fact I'm not just worried, that is a huge risk in my book. Could soeone fill me in as to what happens with the indexes and aggs after they are dropped. Thanks Jamie This is known and well documented situa ...Show All

• SQL Server Error: Subreport could not be shown

  I am a new one in using ReportViewer in VS 2005. I try to use Main and Sub report to show data from my dataset. It doesn't matter if I use main report only, but the problem is when I use subreport intergrated with the main report. When I run it in browser, it shows:    Error: Subreport could not be shown The main report is ok.Is there any solution to the problem Thank for your help!!!! Don't know if you are still struggling with this one, but passing parameters to subreports is simply a case of right click on the subreport where you have included it in the main report, open the Properties and Parameters Tab and specify the link between the main and subreport. As long as you have set up ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista using InkOverlay with transparent panel

  I'm creating a transparent panel using WS_EX_TRANSPARENT and WS_EX_TOPMOST window properties. I'm also using InkOverlay with autoredraw set to false and doing the painting of existing strokes via Renderer.Draw. It works fine for some time. I can see strokes being painted.However, if I close the form with the panel and reopen the form again, the ink on the panel stops responding to stylus and mouse, even though the panel is still receiving mouse events (I can see that via Spy++). It takes some time for it to start working again (very odd behavior).If I don't set WS_EX_TRANSPARENT on the panel, InkOverlay works fine.Has anybody seen it or have any input Thanks in advance.Vlad Hi Vlad: I'm not exactly sure ...Show All

• .NET Development Read Excel cell DataRow string > 256 character

  I am trying read data from excel document using Oledbconnection. When I read a string in a cell using DataRow[columnName] gives me 256 characters maximum. All the remaining text is cut off. Need suggestion how can I read text around 1000 characters in each cell. Thank you, Bhavani Prasad You will need to change the value of TypeGuessRows in the Registry. This value specifies the number or rows scanned when determining the data types for each column. The default is eight and it's likely that none of the first eight rows contain more than 255 characters. You can change the value to a number greater than eight or specify a value of zero, which will cause all rows to be scanned. Keep in mind that us ...Show All
