• Visual C++ windows.h not found...

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work and would raise the flag to the appropriate people so they can take the steps to fix it for their users.  Or at least document it on the very first page where it is downloaded, or the very first page of the documentation.  A user shouldn't have to hit forums to find out how to make a product ...Show All

• SQL Server Script length limitation?

  Hi, The answer to my question may depend on both the sql server engine and the data provider; I do not know enough about the internal goings on to judge this. Thus, I should mention that we are connecting to SQL Server 2000, from an ASP.NET 1.1 application using the SqlClient provider. First a short introduction to my scenario: We have an application that needs to support exporting and importing data between different instances of the database (in a disconnected manner). This has been implemented in such a way that the export generates sql, which is then simply executed on the importing side. (It wasn't me! I'm fully aware of a number of reasons why this solution isn't any good, but this is what I have to work with.)  This is do ...Show All

• SQL Server Parameters defined in .rdl and how they are applied in Report Manager

  One of my reports is defined as follows in .rdl: <ReportParameter Name="ExplicitProject"> <DataType>String</DataType> <DefaultValue> <Values> <Value>Agile_1029c</Value> </Values> </DefaultValue> <AllowBlank>true</AllowBlank> <Prompt>ExplicitProject</Prompt> </ReportParameter> In Report Manager, I have overriden this value by specifying that the default value be an empty string. The report uses the value I specified in Report Manager. How does this work Where does Report Server store the overriden definition There seem to be two places where the rendering is getting its specification. Is there a hierarchy i. ...Show All

• Visual Basic plugin made from VBA script

  Hello! I created a macro for Outlook 2003 which loads data from a txt file and create a new contact from that data. I can add a button to that macro to the outlook toolbar manually, but my question is how can i make a plugin for Outlook with setup or sth like that. I mean sth like SalesForce. It adds an icon to the outlook toolbar, you dont have to to it manually, it has to be a way to do it without installing VS .net and stuff like that. I wasnt sure where exactly i should put my post so sorry for any inconveniences. thanks in advance! Jack Using the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is by far the easiest way to create an Outlook addin. Short of that, you should be able to do it manually with som ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do you declare eventhandlers outside of compiled code?

  Dear WF Gurus, I am working with xoml only state workflows.

• .NET Development Error while sending the mail through C# application

  Hi everybody, While trying to send a mail through a C# application I am getting an error "Could not access 'CDO.Message' object.". Please let me know the reason for this error. Hi, First of all try using IP instead of mail server url as SMTPServer name. If that is not solving your problem then check that you are giving Correct email ID (some times if you add email address dynamically in TO, its possible to miss something in it) then check your SMTP server settings if it requires AUTHENTICATION... if so you will need to pass the SMTP mail acc credentials along with the mail so do that way... IF it still not solving your problem then do the following and inform me the ...Show All

• Visual Basic Datagridview bound custom collection, how to refresh

  I am binding a custom collection to my Datagridview. That works fine dgvUsers.DataSource = users Now, if I add a user to the user's collection, it is not reflected back into the datagridview. How can I get the Datagridview to update or reflect my changes made within the collection. thanks, Dean You could use the BindingSource component, which will provide the functionality to notify DataGridView when underlying data source changes. Set your users collection to BindingSource's DataSource property and DataGridView's DataSource to the BindingSource instance, something like in the following code example: bindingSource1.DataSource = users dgvUsers.DataSource = bindingSource1 Andrej ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Title Bar Appears on Splash Screen

  I have followed David Kline's example of a "Non-Modal Splash Screen" in a PocketPC 2003 application under .NET CF 2.0 SP1. All works well except that during the initialisation of the main form, before it is shown, the top Title bar containing the "Start" menu overwrites the top of the Splash Form bitmap. The Splash Form has the following properties set: ControlBox = False WindowState = Maximised Menu = None How do I prevent the title bar showing up on the Splash Screen The work around we found was to use the WindowState property on the Form and to set it from Mazimized to Normal. Are you using the WindowState property, and if so, is it set to Maximized for you Splash Screen ...Show All
