• Windows Forms display msi path

  Hi, I want to display msi path from where it is running. For example my msi is in "c:\msifolder\test.msi".and when i click on msi.after initial dialogs,it should display "c:\msifolder\test.msi". Thanks If you're talking about getting the path to the MSI file from a custom action, you'd pass the OriginalDatabase property via the CustomActionData property to the custom action, case-sensitive. You'd put [OriginalDatabase] there, in brackets. It's not clear what you mean by "it should display". ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple Null question

  I'm guessing there is some simple answer to this question. Im working of a Cube. Now when i preview my report. It leaves all the null values with nothin displayed.

You can also try to modify dataset (if possible) to change all nulls to zeros. Maciej ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Organizing IE7 Toolbars - Google hijacks toolbar layout.

  What a Horrible experience has been using IE7. First I can't put more bars in the same row as the address bar So I get a incredibly big address bar and loose a lot of screen. Other problem is that toolbars dont stay in the place you put them. They keep moving even if you lock the toolbars. Is this a Primary BUG at IE7 Is there anyway to make IE 7 as useful as IE6 and customize bars the way I want and not the way the developers wanted Thank you in advance for solutions.... Thanks Rob, for the tip... and Viktor, for your suggestion... But both are irrelevant to the OP's message. I obviously also experience the same problem... and (as some of you probably did...) found this tread doing a Google sea ...Show All

• Windows Forms locking of combo box

  Dear All, I just added a combo box in my form. I wrote the code in public frmForm1() //================== { //This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent(); comoboBox1.Items.Clear(); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "USA" ); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "INDIA" ); comoboBox1.Items.Add( "UK" ); comoboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0; } than i called the load event.

In VB6 we generally locked the item and it solved the problem. But here I am facing a lots of problem for this in Visual Studio 2005. Can you tell me p ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums robot is offline for some users

  Hi, I've developed a robot for the contest ( secretarybot@hotmail.com ) and it appears offline for some users, though they can chat with it. I've contacted incesoft, they thought it was because of the 300 users limit but I have provisioned my bot so there should not have limits... Any idea There are any number of things that could be going on here and there are platform specific tweaks as well, but I'll take a stab at the most likely issue across platforms. Please note there are also the occasional network issues that even knock some of the Microsoft bots offline for brief periods. We're working on those issues, but here's my top thoughts for fixing your bots presence problems: Did you prov ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Another SendKeys

  After Derek's advice a while ago, I had the Send keys function working pefectly. However I have had some testing done on a more powerful machine and when the SendKeys functions takes off, it seems to be holding the keys to be sent so that multiple iterations appear. For example, I'm trying to send "^f81.". I've had to split this up into "^F","8",".","1" (with the Sendkeys and wait for each sendkeys line). What I end up getting is the search box comes up fine ("^F") but then in the search box I get 888888888888888888811111111111111111...... etc until it comes up with an error because the search string is too long. I've tried different variations with the SendKeys Wait value ...Show All

But it's always hang or raise BOSD. if the TCPIP does not start in BootStart mode, the WSK function of WskCaptureProviderNPI with WSK_INFINITE_WAIT will blocked.

Does anyone know how to deal it Under 2000/XP with TDI, tcpip bootstart to zero is OK. Thanks in adavnced.
