• Windows Live Developer Forums Bulk add data to local.live

  I have a lot of spatial data that i would like to add to local.live and I was wondering in there a bulk uploader available to do this. I don't know is this the correct forum to ask...if its not can you point me in the right direction.. Thanks in advance.. Ray hey, i dont think microsoft is interested in your data, coz nobody knows if youre uploading junk. But you can still use your data in your own application. For example i have a db with germanies 100 best wore-houses, do you think microsoft is interested in displaying them if i type 'whore house' in maps.live.com ;)   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office The installed AddIn is not Working

  I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition and VSTO. Whenever i create a new outlook Add In project i will get a ThisAddIn.cs instead of ThisApplication.cs as being mentioned in many walkthroughs. Still i was able to get the Functionalities from ThisAddIn.Application. Why am i not getting ThisApplication.cs Another issue is i followed the steps to deploy the application and installed the AddIn directly from my project some of the projects worked as per expectation when i installed from my IDE but when i moved the msi and setup file to another machine and installed its not working. Some of projects though they showed as finished installation and is there in the COM Add Ins list of outlook, its not checked. When i check the ch ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_AUTHORIZATION") Returns Nothing

• Visual Studio Anoying delay after every build cause and relief

  We've just converted a large .NET 1.1 service application to .NET 2.0. The solution includes 17 projects. The build progresses roughly the same amount of time as the VS2003 build. But after success or failure, the IDE hangs for 30-45 seconds. There is no additional information sent to the output window, there is no additional information on the status bar, it just hangs, then the final line is sent to the output window: ========== Build: 17 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 1 skipped ========== While this is only a few seconds it is very anoying and it always occurs even if we issue a rebuild all with no changes to any file! Is this a known issue and I should just suck it up Is this a know issue and is there a configuration ...Show All

• SQL Server Variable values containing dashes

  Ok. Here is a weird problem. I have a package which contains a variable with the value of a UNC sharename. The hostname in the share contains dashes. I am trying to create a SQL Agent entry to execute said package. Because the package is now in production I want to pass in a new value for the sharename variable. I use the SQL @@SERVERNAME variable to build the package command. (Notice the BlotterUploadFolder variable at the end.)

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX10 on XP64

  Hello, I am porting a C# app which uses DirectX from 32bit to 64bit. I downloaded the Aug 2006 SDK. I looked around and saw that in the folder: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\DirectX for Managed Code There are many versions of the DirectX dlls, but there is only one version for x64, and that version is 2.0.0.0, which is DirectX10. I guess this is more of a request for a confirmation rather than a question. Is DirectX10 indeed the only version whose managed code dlls has been ported to 64 bit Or, put another way, if I'm going to use DirectX on Win64, does it have to be DirectX10 Thanks It is not that easy to even get MDX to run properly on a x64 platform because the .NET Framework tries to run in x64 mode, but ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WURFL to ASP.NET

  Hi guys, Does anyone here have any experience in converting the information in the WURFL format [1] to the "browser definition schema" format [2] supported by ASPNET 2.0 *Ideally* I'd like to convert the latest WURFL from time to time, re-run [3], and go have a coffee knowing that I support most mobile browsers out there. Conversion isn't as straight-forward as one might think - the same capabilities have not only different names on the two schemas, but also different values that actually have the same _meaning_; the schema semantics are totally different. An example: WURFL: <capability name="wmlscript_1_1" value="true"/> being listed *before* <capability name="wmlscript_1_2" value="true"/> maps to .br ...Show All

• SQL Server Need help on COM-based Custom Conflict Resolver

  Hi everyone, I am working on a COM-based custom conflict resolver (vb.net) for a merge replication problem that I am having. This is what I am trying to accomplish. 1. Have a Last_Upd_Dt column. 2. When there is a conflict between publisher and subscriber on a column, the winner is the most recent date in Last_Upd_Dt and want the value for that column from that source. 3. If there is no conflict on a column and the column was updated by either the publisher or subscriber, I want to keep the change made by the publisher or the subscriber. (i.e publisher made change in col #1, subscriber made change in col #2, no conflict, the resulting row will now have the col #1 value from publisher, col # 2 will have value from subscriber.

• .NET Development Validating schema element from XPathNavigator

  Hi, As I traverse different elements in my XPathNavigator object I come across some elements which I need to check particles such as MaxOccurs against the schema. I can search the schema and find the appropriate element but the problem I have is when the element name in the XPathDocument is not unique. For example, the <name> element could be a child either from the <person> or the <company> element. What should I do to ensure I am validating the correct element Any help would be appreciated. Thank you With .NET 2.0 XPathNavigator has type annotations if you load the XML and the schemas, see the SchemaInfo property . ...Show All
