• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.0 Beta 2 doesn't index NTFS junction points

  They don't even show up in the Indexed Locations Dialog in Options, so they can't be added. WDS 2.6 didn't have this problem. Hello migue333, WDS 3.0 beta 2 does not currently have the ability to index network drives. We are currently working to add that functionality. In the meantime, we are suggesting that customers in corporate environments continue to use WDS 2.6.5. I will be sure to post when we have added the functionality to 3.0.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) OCT ORCAS CTP and Class generation

  I am currently trying out the Oct Orcas CTP and i am a little unsure on how to procced in regards to the EDM stuff. I am also using the oct samples as a reference. I have created a project which contains the ssdl, csdl, and msl files. It seems that in order for me to make use of those files in another project i would need to run some tool against them to create the corresponding code. I have been using the individual CTPs(ADO vNEXT, EDM Designer and LINQ Preview)up to this point. I understand that the Orcas CTP has limited functionality in terms of the EDM tools. I was just wondering how i would progress to the next step. ie referencing the entities in another project. Or is the answer i need to create the class by hand too Or maybe there ...Show All

• .NET Development UNC path of Network folders

  Hi, I am using a System32 dll to get the complete list file structure as in explorer(complete my computer and my network places with icons). I need to find out the UNC path of the network folder. For example if there is a network folder called XXX under My Network Places. Shell32.FolderItem is returning the path C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\NetHood\XXX. But the path has to be \\Machine Name\XXX . Any pointers regarding this is highly appreciated. Thanks, Hema. If I remember correctly, those are just link files (shortcuts). You should be able to use the ShellLinkObject from Shell32 to find the link's target or path. That target or path should give you the UNC. ...Show All

• Community Chat speedfan??

  SpeedFan - whts it SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is an hardware monitor software that can access digital temperature sensors, but its main feature is that it can change fan speeds (depending on the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise. The long awaited SpeedF ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Filter to form2

  I am brand new to VB Express 2005 and only just getting starting to understand it. Here is my problem. I have two forms connected to a SQL Express database within the project. Table 1 and Form 1 lists the customers Table 2 and Form 2 Lists the email addresses and passwords for each account 1 customer could have up to 30 email addresses. I can get the customers to show on Form1 and all the emails and passwords to show on Form2 with no problem. I can even add a button that opens Form2. What I am trying to do is open form2 and only shows the data that relates to the selected customer. It’s probably very simple but I am a beginner after all ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug Fixes

  Hi, Being a developer I know that writing software is a tedious business. I would just like to know how much time is spent by the WPF team going through bugs at the official bug logging site ( connect.microsoft.com) The reason why I am asking is because I logged a few bugs that are really critical for the application we are developing, and I would like a "timeline" as how long the whole process would take before the changes is added in a next CTP (which already to long to wait) or maybe a patch Thank you very much, Jaco Both of those issues were entered on 8/10. I'm not sure if the bugs got into our bug DB yet (it takes a little while). I've pointed the TextBox/RichTextBox team tow ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions relays...

  Could someone point me towards some material on programing with the serial port or if someone saw a post on a site like hackaday that uses serial port programming. I am trying to be able to control 4 relays (or i can start with 1) over the serial port. or usb, you decide what the best thing would be to use. Thanks to all the people who post on msdn forums.. Average Joe I got my setup working quite quickly, I have a program now that when you press a button (on) you get 5v on one of the pins and when you press off the voltage goes down to .90v, which brings me to my problem. the .90v is turning on the transistor I am using still. I have tried using a 100 ohm resistor but that seems to do very lit ...Show All

• Visual C# Question on accessing global resource programatically

  Hi, What I have is a .resx file that contains a list of icons. In a program, I can access those icon by means of ' global::[namespace of the .resx file].[icon file name].

If I can use reflection, how would the syntax be Any help is appreciated. Thanks, David These properties are just short-hand for: global ::System.Resources.

• Visual C++ few questions about C++

  hi, i'm beginner in C++ and i have a few questions about it, i hope if anyone have sometime to answer me, A) about platforms : as far as i know you can write programs in C++ to run under many platforms if i have the proper compiler for this platform 1) does that make any difference in the code itself or i just need a different compilers, for example i know windows depends on events , so if i write the same program for linux , does linux depend on something else , because that will change the code completly 2) also what about the libraries , in windows its MFC does linux or Mac have something else B) about CLI : i guess there is no difference between C++ and c# here , even i guess C# is easier in this area, is that true ...Show All
