• Software Development for Windows Vista TransactionScope authentication / poorly documented!

  Ahhhhh Microsoft, the most important feature in 2.0 “Transactions” is poorly documented, and almost working, as it looks like the people who developed it got it to work under one scenario, and released it immediately, never tested completely. It is like, hey, does windows xp connected to a windows 2003 DTC when bother are under the domain controller, and when we modify the settings to the DTC and remove the security Yes , Ok, releaseeeeee Does it run in other scenarios Hmmm, maybe :-) Ok, here is the problem 1- I am developing under a virtual machine, outside the domain controller. (Win2003). 2- My SQL server is under the domain controller. (Win2003). 3- I am using the SQL server authentication; it works fine if the transactio ...Show All

• SQL Server Ug! Replicated tables missing Default Values and Identities.

  Ok, so I must have screwed something up. I have several databases set up for transactional replication to another instance of SQL Server 2005 for fail over purposes. Today, I restored one of those replicated databases to my development machine and discovered two surprising problems: 1) The Default Values settings in the replicated tables are missing. They are there in the publishing tables, just as they were before I set up replication. However, they are not in the subscribing tables. Now, this is not such a big issue, since I tend to send all default values in insert queries as necessary. 2) The second problem is a more of an issue, since I use auto-numbered Identity columns in my tables (yes, I know that's just plain lazy...). ...Show All

• .NET Development Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion'

  I did a quick search around this forum and around the web but I can't find any helpful information regarding this problem.  Currently, I am running a site on asp.net 2.0 within a shared hosting location.  Their SQL backend is 2000.  I managed to create the db via aspnet_regsql, and then upload the aspnetdb and set provider stuff to the correct bits of information, however when I try any query, like logging in, it doesnt work, and get the error could not find stored procedure...  I checked, and the procedure does exist.  Everything is set up as it should be, schema and all.  Any ideas   I used Scott Guthries blog on how to use asp.net authentication on SQL 2000, and that worked without any problems. ...Show All

• Visual C# Format String??? Help --->

  I need to convert a string from bytes to megabytes. I have this so far: label1.Text = string.Format( ) but how do I format the string > I can only assume you mean to divide a number in a string by a million. in that case string.Format would be useless for this. String.Format can be used to divide by a million, e.g.: String.Format("{0:0,,MB}", 1234000) gives "1MB" String.Format("{0:#,##0,,.0MB}", 1234000) gives "1.2MB" String.Format("{0:#,##0,,.00MB}", 1234000) gives "1.23MB" But you will need to divide if you want "real" megabytes, i.e. divide by (1024*1024). ...Show All

  I'm trying to install the cumulative hot fix (build 2153) on an x86 machine. I'm running the first of the six install EXEs, and I'm not able to select any of the checkboxes on the Feature Selection tab of the wizard. I see three checkboxes.

• Visual Studio Team System Uninstalling Evaluation version of Team Explorer

  Hi, I installed the evaluation edition of Team Explorer on my machine, and when I'd finished, I uninstalled it (through Add/Remove programs) The problem I have now is that although it does not appear inside VS on hte menus, it does appear as an installed element on the splash screen, and I get a blank form displayed when I start VS which appears to be the dialog that used to prompt me for a user name and password. (I had to specify these to connect the the TFS server because if network problems). Any ideas on what might have been left behind that could be causing the problem Cheers, Bill Thanks for the error report. So we can help investigate this further, can you tell us a bit more ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Using IMFMixerBitmap

  I have a DirectShow application that uses the VMR's IVMRMixerBitmap interface to blend a bitmap with a video. Before using it I understand you have to call IVMRFilterConfig's SetNumberOfStreams method to put the VMR into the correct state, and so far it works fine :) So now I'm trying to use Media Foundation and I've found corresponding interfaces such as IEVRFilterConfig and IMFMixerBitmap. Is the operation of these fairly similar ie. do I need to call IEVRFilterConfig's SetNumberOfStreams() before I can use IMFMixerBitmap I've been trying to do this and using IMFGetService's GetService() to try and get the IMFMixerBitmap interface afterwards but without much success - I keep getting a return code of 0xc00d36ba.. Is there anythin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Opening / Closing Forms

  Hey guys, Really simply, how do you open forms when you click a button! ! (i.e. in VB its docmd.open 'Form'). I just want to click a button and it pop up another form i have designed. Thanks in advance Tom Well, you create an instance of your form and display it using ShowDialog(): Form1 form = new Form1(); form.ShowDialog(this); (The parameter to ShowDialog() is made the parent of the form which is displayed. Since you will be calling this code from a button handler in the parent form, "this" is the correct thing to pass in.) ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot set Connection property of Backup database task if connection string is customized in connection object

  I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string. Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value. Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized t ...Show All
