• Internet Explorer Development Binary behavior does not work in IE7

  I posted this on another forum but received no good answer, so I thought I would try this one. My binary behavior, which has been working for several years on IE6, will not run on IE7. The specific symptoms are as follows: 1. (both IE6 and IE7) The dll is loaded and initialized. 2. (both IE6 and IE7) The IClassFactory interface is called and the IElementBehaviorFactory interface is located. 3. (IE6) IElementBehaviorFactory::FindBehavior is called and the IElementBehavior interface is instantiated and returned. Normal processing of the behavior then takes place. 3. (IE7) IElementBehaviorFactory::Release is called to release the interface. The behavior is not instantiated and no further processing of it takes place. It is obvi ...Show All

• SQL Server Updates at the Subscriber...

  Hi,              Can we use transactional replication with updatable subscriptions when we have more updates and transactional changes at the Subscriber side             We are using SQL Server 2005 SP1. We will be using 6 publications and 4 subscriptions for each publications, so totally 24 subscriptions. Both the Publisher and the Distributor is the same server. It is set to run in continuous mode. Type : Pull Subscriptions.   Regards, Swapna.B. If you expect conflicts to occur (i.e. two subscribers update the same row at their own database), then I suggest using merge replication as it has conflic ...Show All

• SQL Server function does not exist for decision tree when running tutorial

  When I run the Microsoft tutorial for data mining I get this error when I get to the decision tree part. I get a similar error for clustering in the same tutorial. However, The Naive Bayes demo seems fine. The messages said the project was built and deployed without errors. Does anyone know how to fix the error: TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ The tree graph cannot be created because of the following error: 'Query (1, 6) The '[System].[Microsoft].[AnalysisServices].[System].[DataMining].[DecisionTrees].[GetTreeScores]' function does not exist.'.

  I've posted a video of my Game Components demo I did at Gamefest. http://blogs.msdn.com/xna/archive/2006/08/31/734204.aspx That's pretty awesome :) Do you plan on doing tutorials for some of the other components (terrain, menu) I know there's lots on the web for things like terrain, but something XNA-specific would be much better to learn from, and we're less likely to code things outrselves that are already done in the framework, that way =) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can't see Outlook add-in when deploying for All Users

  Hi All, I've developed Outlook 2003 Add-In using VSTO 2005. 1) When I install it for one user (Registry settings are for HKEY_CURRENT_USER): The Add-In works and I can see it in the 'Com Add-Ins' dialog. 2) When I cut the registry entries from HKEY_CURRENT_USER and paste them in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE: The Add-In works for all users but I cannot see it in 'Com Add-Ins' dialog. In both cases the values of the registry keys is exactly the same (I checked the parameters one by one) - only the location is different. My Office version is 2003 SP1. Is it a bug How can I fix it Thanks, Skapol I am having the same issue. if the addin is created under HKEY_LOCAL_Machine it is not av ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package XML Configuration

  1) We are doing data migration from SQL Server 2000 OLTP design to SQL Server 2005 OLAP design. 2) We have used SSIS packages and data flow tasks in which we mentioned connection strings for source and target containers. 3) We have a master execute package which contains series of execute packages in relational order. 4) When we execute this master package, we should be able to dynamically specify different source and connection strings for all packages. 5) In master execute package, we generate an XML configuration file using SSIS -> Package Configurations... using Connection Managers -> Particular connection 6) Now, we change connection string to point to another database after adding this new OLE DB connection in Con ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I import a DLL at runtime?

  I have a DLL called SampleWidget.dll, which contains a class called SampleWidget. I cannot merely import the dll at design time is because the DLL is a 'plugin' for my software. The end user will need to import more plugins as they use the software. With this in mind, How can I import the dll at runtime and create a new SampleWidget object Thanks in advance. Awesome! The first two parts of that code work! However, the problems start when I try to access the ShowWidget() method. o.GetType.InvokeMember( "ShowWidget" , Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing , o, Nothing ) I get a nullreferenceexception. Any tips about how to fix it The stack trace: at JimmyWidgets.frmMain.frmMain_Load(Object sende ...Show All

• Visual C# OTP: c# common classes

  is it possible to reference shared classes in fm1.1,without we have to import them , like framework 2.0 do with app_code folder classes OK, the answer to this is twofold. 1 - If Microsoft released a new version of the framework and you could do everything it offered on the old framework, no-one would upgrade 2 - ASP.NET questions are off topic on these forums, you need to ask this question at www.asp.net . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Configuration Manager

  Two caveats before asking my question: 1) My solution is notoriously mangled. It works 99% of the time, but occasionally crazy things happen that I can't explain. This may be one of those instances. 2) I'm running VSTS 2005 without the foundation server up. (Don't ask, we don't want to go there. Oh that's right, something about not running on domain controllers. Not nice for one man shops. Both my enterprise servers are DC's so they can back each other up. I guess I'll have to get VM server running one of these days.) That said, I try following the directions in the help (i even connected to the online stuff - ugh! - to make sure I got the latest and greatest).
