• SQL Server SQL 2005 Mobile loading 2003 Cabs

  I am moving a VS 2003 Pocket PC app to VS 2005 and when I deploy the app from Visuyal Studio 2005 two sqlce cabs are deployed (in addition to the sqlce30 ones) namely sqlce20.dev.ppc.wce4.armv4.CAB and sqlce20.ppc.wce4.armv4.CAB. Now as I have documented in another thread ( SQL 2005 Mobile : The file is not a valid database file ) this gives me problems when I want to access the database being produced by replication. So I'm trying to eliminate the need for these cab files. My pocket PC application uses two of my DLLs the first of which is my Business Objects. When I deploy this to my PDA I get the following build output ------ Build started: Project: BO, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------ C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Fram ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to publish website on server from Visual Studio 2005?

  I program with Visual Studio 2005. It works well and now my program is finished. So I published the site on my server. For the first time, I used VS, clicked " Build " > " Publish Website (I use Chinese Version, not sure whether it is these two words exactly in English)", and select my server's ip address "ftp:// . . " and it began to upload file. Upon completion, when I run this site on IE, it complained and didn't work.   For the second time, I simply copied all folders and files within site to the corresponding folder on server, and it still doesn't work.   How can I publish my site It works fine in VS 2005.

• SQL Server Dynamic Columns & Dynamic Grouping ???

  Hi, We need to design more than 500 Reports for our ongoing project and we are dealing with MS SQL Server Reporting Services first time. We are currently confused in 2 things 1) How to manage Reports I mean we should store entire report in database and load at runtime or simply store as a report file 2) Most Important is Dynamic Columns & Dynamic Grouping . We need something like Microsoft Office Accounting 2007 Reports. Header part of form has some parameters for filter and right part has some parameters for showing or hiding and reordering columns and groups. We are not getting clue for this dynamic stuff. Can any one post working sample or at least necessary basic code with some idea ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Bluetooth serial Port (SPP) WinIOException during Reopen Port

  Hello! My actual project includes a bt-modul by kc-wirefree ( www.kcwirefree.com ) and pocketpc's by various manufacurers and WM2005 and net.cf 2.0 SP1. Pocket-PC's with microsoft's Bluetooth-stacks are working well, pocket-pc's with the broadcom-stack (I have also a acer n300) have the following problem: I am using spp to send/receive data from external module and if the carrier is lost or the external component is not answering (for instance power off/power on) the programm will close the connection, reopen it and test the communication again. I don’t like to use manufacturer-specific api's to guarantee the platform-undepending functionality. (And i think it is a problem to identify the manufacturer specific stacks) The reo ...Show All

• SQL Server Localization of Report Manager to Portuguese

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and desktop icons

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. CPIAD That is exactly the problem and question I am also experiencing...I finally uninstalled both IE7 and Netscape 8.1 (which is also behaving unsatisfactoril ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies _layout pages and masterpage

  Hi All, I'm a bit confused here. Is it true that modifying the application.master (which I don't want to do) is the only way to change the masterpage for the _layout pages in Sharepoint 2007 In fact changing all the files themselves is not an option either because it's not supported I was told. So how's the correct procedure to change the _layout pages from your sitecollection Fred i see. i have to figure it out in the next days, will post the solution here if i find a hack. if sharepoint wants to replace mscms there is a lot of work to do. by now theming needs a lot of experience. there are just a small amount of websites who use sharepoint as "pure" cms, and websites that are not looking like sharepoint ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 - File Not Found ieframe.dll\1

  Hello, After upgrading to IE7, all of my programs with the "Microsoft Internet Controls" (i.e. Webbrowser) are breaking when I load them in code (compiled still works though). I get the following error: "File Not found 'C:\Windows\system32\ieframe.dll\1' However, if i look in my references, all I can find that is there is the reference to shdocvw.dll, no ieframe dll. If I open a new project and add the controls, then I get the same error. To me there is something broken between the two. The strange thing is, it worked fine yesterday. I don't have my computer set to do automatic updates and I didn't do any updates last night. Anyone else having this issue Regards, Ryan Ple ...Show All

• Visual Basic My SQL Update function isn't working in VB, can someone help?

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modal Dialogs and UI automation

  Hi, I am playing around with WPF and Automation trying to do the following. Application A: Display a WPF window with a Button. The button has a handler - when clicked you get a message box. Application B: Automation Controller (unit test). The code starts an in instance of A, and programatically (AutomationElement) pushes the button, which launches the message box. So far all of this works. When I use the UI Spy program, I notice that when I do things manually, the message box is a child of the main window in the visual tree. When I run things through the automation controller, the message box seems to be a sibling of A in terms of Window hierarchy (and no longer modal!). This sort of makes sense, but the documentation (Invoke ...Show All

• Visual C# Making a derived from CollectionBase class Thread Safe

  I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to make a class derived from the CollectionBase thread safe. The main problem I am having occurs when I loop through a list of objects in the collection. I generally lock the thread before the for loop occurs but some other piece of code is still able to modify the collection while I am looping. I have tried locking on the InnerList.SyncRoot, as well as locking on the derived class itself but stilll have problems. My guess is that my collection is receiving a clear command from another thread while I am looping. I am unable to override the Clear method in my derived class so I am not sure if that is the problem or not. Happy holidays, and thanks for any help you can give me. ...Show All
