• .NET Development XML is not visible in Internet Explorer 7

  XML documents are not visible when I try to open them with Internet Explorer on my desktop. The same documents are visible in Internet Explorer on my laptop. Why would XML documents be visible on one copy of Internet Explorer and not another. Netscape and Mozilla will open XML documents on my desktop. At this point I'm relegated with using Mozilla to work with and view XML documents when I'm working on my desktop. Mozilla is not my first choice of browsers, but it's the only workaround at my disposal at this point. I've checked the XML settings in Internet Explorer and they seem to be fine. Windows XP shouldn't be the problem, but there is probably some setting in the registry that needs to be changed. Does anyone have a suggestion ...Show All

• Windows Forms Only Allow 2 decimal places in a textbox.

  I have a textbox which contains interest rate. (e.g. 89.56, 100.00 etc) How do I disallow user type in more than 2 decimal places. (user cannot type in 89.5678 or 80.876876967896) Thanks! Just found out this solution doesn't work really well. It didn't allow user to over write the text by just hightlight and type it. They need to press delete or backspace first. ...Show All

• Visual C++ CoCreateInstance returns E_ACCESSDENIED on local machine

  Hi all, I'd like to use an interface provided by a third-party COM component on my local computer. But I failed with CoCreateInstance. Here is the piece of the code: CoInitialize(NULL); IXXX *p; GUID sourceobjID; HRESULT hr = ::CLSIDFromProgID(L"the ProgID of the lib", &sourceobjID); hr = CoCreateInstance(sourceobjID, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IXXX, (void**)&p); ....

• Visual Studio Express Editions Table relationship

  I have 3 tables I am trying to relate for a music player. I was following the example in the msdn however, my relationships do not seem right. Here are tables i want to relate: Table 1: ArtistID ArtistName: Table 2: RecordingID RecordingName ArtistID Table 3: TrackID TrackName TrackNumber TrackLocation RecordingID So the main idea here is that the foreign keys are recordingId and artistID. So what i did is created the 3 tables and then make a diagram to create the relationships. I then was reading this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=219696&SiteID=1 What i want to do is use 2 different text boxes lets say and as i move from the records in the Record_table (2) the corresponding artist will change with it.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Please someone get me out of this mess

  Hello all, I am new to Sharepoint but have spent a ton of time on this the past 3 weeks. I have gotten one W2K3 Server running with Sharepoint but even that one has issues i.e. I cannot get rid of the search service event log entries that correspond to the gatherer service Event ID: 2424. The 2 new Servers I have installed and configured just do not want to work. When I go into the admin console I immediately get a login box to which I input a domain account with admin priviliges and the login box keeps popping up many times until it finally will stop and display the page I want to see. Then when I click any other link the same scenario happens all over again Why is this happening I did not do anything different with this ins ...Show All

• Visual Studio Model Namespace

  Hello, is there a default 'value' of a domain model that i can access from within my T4 templates if i need a decent namespace I guess i am searching for a namespace that is build from the folder hierarchy. Just like when a new class file is added to a project; The namespace in that file is updated according to the folder branche the file lives in. I hope such a default value exists somewhere in the depths of domain models (or maybe the template architecture itself). I really dislike accessing ProjectItems to get such a value in the design i am currently implementing. Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken Peter, I am not sure about the scenario you are dealing with here so my suggestion might not be useful at all but let's give it ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 Performance problem with updating subscribers with identities

  Since we've upgraded to 2005 we've had major performance problems with updating subscriber tables that contain identity PK columns set to manual or auto range management. If a table has identity range management set to 'None' (the "old" 2000 way), the peformance is fine. Below are sample tables: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ID_RANGE_TEST]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [DATA] [int] NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_ID_RANGE_TEST] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ID_NONE_TEST]( [ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [DATA] [int] NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_ID_NONE_TEST] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KE ...Show All

• SQL Server Keep fields together in table control

  I have a table that display large amounts of text in some fields. The table only has two columns (Field Name and Field Data). If the Field data is too large to fit on the same page as the field above it, it pushes to the next page, and then starts printing at the top of that page (the next page down). I tried setting the "Keep Together" property of the table = True, but this was of no use. Has anyone found a way to work around this, and if so could you let me know what you had to do. It may just be a SQL Server default setting that cannot be changed. I just want to research all possibilities before reporting back to the users. Thank you, T.J.
