• Windows Search Technologies Windows Desktop Search won't start & I cannot remove it

  I recently upgraded to the most recent version of Microsoft Desktop Search. From the Admin account it seemed to be operating perfectly. When I logged off and then on to another account It gave me an error. It suggested that I remove and reinstall. I did and encountered the same problem. I was going to uninstall it, but it has disappeared from my "Add or Remove" list of programs. HELP! Paul, Thanks for getting back to me. Everything was done under the administrator account. I've tried to re-install, but I get the same problem. I cannot un-install the windows desktop search program because it is no longer on the list of programs under add/remove programs.

• Windows Forms Problem with the sample code of showing the error icon when the user is editing the cell

  Hi ! I am using the sample code mentioned in the windows forms faq for datagridview. The code is for showing the error icon when the user is editing the cell. The problem with the code is the tooltip does not appear at all when the "BAD" text is typed in one of the cells. Also, when you type bad data and then enter the right data and then come back again to the same cell and type bad data the error icon does not appear. The error icon is only a one time thing. I am not sure if anybody has really tested this piece of code.Or am I missing anything here . Suggestions and advices would be helpful. This should be really a standard code to capture the edits but apparently is not working correctly. The code is as follows: private ToolT ...Show All

  hi, i have a WinForm datagridview (dgvUser) that is populated with data from a SQLEXPRESS db.

• .NET Development Insert now row, and get the ID number in return

  If i insert a new row into a table that has a column ID as the primary key with autonumber, how can i get that ID value returned after i inserted the new row. I'm coding in vb2005 and uses abd access database one way would be to get the last record inserted (select top 1) and sort it in desc order and that would be your last record inserted. Not sure if Scope_Identity() is valid in MS Access but you could also use @@Identity to get the last record's ID back The other is to include perhaps an out parameter which will be used by your T-SQL statement to set the current record ID back to this parameter... lets give this a shot 'ok so you have just inserted your record. Still keep the connection op ...Show All

• SQL Server How to identify a dialog as encrypted?

  I am trying to lookup a dialog from conversation_endpoints, however if a dialog was created with the encryption setting to ON and thereis no master Key in the database then the record put in the conversation_endpoints is the same as one without encryption. How can I distinguish between the one requested with no ecryption and requested with encryption but setup with none due to the lack of a key There is no way to find out looking only at the sys.conversation_endpoints table. But if you request encryption and there is no master key, the messages will stay pending with status set to 'The session keys for this conversation could not be created or accessed. The database master key is required for this operation.' in the sys.transmissi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Efficient rendering

  Hi, I am on the path to learning how to achieve efficient rendering. Currently I am rendering my own sprite by rendering a texture on a quad. So this sprite uses an Effect, a vertex buffer, an index buffer, and a texture. What would be the best way to render these sprites Do we sort/batch them according to texture, effect, or something else What I am thinking of is something like this: In RenderManager's draw call: -for all render objects in list: --sort by effect, sort by texture -for each effect: --assign effect --for each texture: ---assign texture to effect ---for each object: ----assign vertex & index buffers ----set shader params (local to world matrix, other params) ----commit effect changes ----draw primitive using render obje ...Show All

• .NET Development Error "ExecuteScalar requires an open and available connection..."

  H all, I have an application that retrieves data from a local SQL2005 (Standard edition) database frequently (e.g. more than 10 times/second normally). It usually works fine. However, if the program was paused for a while (e.g. for a few hours) by a pop-up error message box or an Sleep() statement, it generates the following error message when its data processing resumes: " ExecuteScalar requires an open and available connection. The connection's current state is closed ." The application is coded with C# using ADO.Net. The connection is OleDbConnection. It seems there is some timeout process that I do not know. Could anyone offer any hint Thanks, hz Yes, I believe that once you enable the shared mem ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't clean all with vcbuild command line

  I can type at the command prompt: vcbuild tool.sln /clean $ALL ... and it works as I expect; the tool solution is cleaned. However, when I use the same line in an nmake makefile, it doesn't work: I'm told that "LL" is an invalid configuration. It doesn't help if I use quotes around "$ALL" either, as in: vcbuild tool.sln /clean "$ALL" ... at least it complains that "ALL" is not a valid configuration, instead of "LL". help Thanks, Jeanne Thank you, this did the trick. I put in $$ALL, in quotes or not, and it works either way. I did RTFM, but my FM does't appear to cover this. Jeanne ...Show All
