Software Development for Windows Vista DVDR-DL fails on write from data, but not from image
Using the imapi2sample, I get an E_FAIL from IDiscFormat2Data::Write() when trying to burn some files to a DVD+R DL (e.g. imapi2sample.exe -write c:\users\raptor2lavbb8\AppData\Roaming\temp\burn ) It works ok with other media types and works ok to DL on other drives. So, how can I further diagnose what the problem is (beyond E_FAIL) i'd start by putting a breakpoint on imapi2sample::DataWriter, which appears to be the function that does the most work and see which IMAPIv2 API is returning E_FAIL...that should help narrow down where the error is coming from... if you get that information and need some help or have more questions, please feel free to ask!

SQL Server How to determine when and if SQL Agent job will run again?
I need to determine programmatically if and when a SQL Agent job will run next. (a date and time) Is this possible and if so, any suggestions on how I need to maintain a table of the next pending execution for each job so I can allow the user to cancel the next pending job, but I have to show them the date and time on which it will occur. Since I'm using most of the scheduling capabilities of SQL Agent, I really need to get the next execution time that SQL Agent thinks the job should run rather than trying to calculate when I think it should run based on all the various scheduling scenarios. I'm using SMO in SQL Server 20005. Thanks Guess I couldn't see the tree for the forest. Here is the solution in ...Show All
SQL Server Data Source error
In creating a data source for my cube I get a message read-only The data source is a SQL database in which I have read only access. When I create my cube from this data source it won't allow me to save it. I can create the fact table, dimensions, etc.. but it won't save it... Do I need write access to the SQL database in order to create a cube based on those tables.. Thanks You don't need write access to the relational database in order to create cubes based on that database. I suspect you are unable to deploy your cube on the AS server because you don't have the necessary permissions on the Analysis Services server. In order to deploy your cube, add yourself to the AS server role b ...Show All
SQL Server Merge rep. over internet with adsl connection
I want to set up merge replication over internet between sql servers located in different cities. Servers have adsl connection. Also I want to start replication witout synchronizing. Actually what I want is starting replication without snapshot because of connection issues. How could I achieve connecting approximately 40 server in this way Running snapshot agent and then Merge agent applying these snapshot files are different. Snapshot agent runs at the distributor/publisher and generates the files. These files can then be applied by the merge agent over the wire or get the files through a CD or something at the subscriber location and point the merge agent to this location. ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Need binaries for WAP in sources folder on build machine
I am building multiple app types in one solution, one of them is a WAP. I have an Installshield project that combines them all into an install package. I have this working on my desktop with msbuild from the command line. It fails when I run it through TFS on our build server. Here is the reason… The WAP binaries are …\<project root>\PrecompiledWeb\... on my dev box. I have pointed my install project here with relative paths. On the build machine the install project is looking for all the binaries in the ‘Sources’ folder, but it is not there. The binaries are in the ‘binaries’ folder in ..\binaries\Mixed Platforms\Release\_PublishedWebsites\<product name>. I don’t mind it being here, but I need it to still be in the s ...Show All
Visual Basic Attach and Open another .exe
How do you attach another .exe program to your Form1 and open it from a MenuStripItem The System.Diagnostics namespace contains the objects and methods you'll need. To fully answer your question, you'll need a Process object to store the reference to the process you start (ie "attach" to the other program. So the code might look like: Dim myApp As System.Diagnostics.Process myApp = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "app.exe" ) Now, whether or not you need the full path to the exe depends on the particular program. If there is a PATH statement in windows for the location of the exe then you don't need the full path, just the exe name. For example, you can enter "iexplore.exe" to open Int ...Show All

SQL Server Seeking help demonstrating a simple drill down in Report Builder using Adventureworks
Folks, I'm interested in demonstrating how ReportBuilder can let a user drill down through relationships, as it described here, where it suggests that a report of employees could have them click on department to see other employees in that department: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337330.aspx Unfortunately, it only says that "the person who created the data souce" made the fields "interactive". It doesn't clarify how they are to do that. I realize there's an option to create a report and save it as a clickthrough from another, as described here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365324.aspx But I was hoping that instead something more straightforward may be possible in the report model design proce ...Show All

Internet Explorer Development IE7 and page-break-before
I have some code that uses page-break-before: always that works fine in IE6, but in IE7, the page-break-before is ignored. Was there a change in this behavior that I have not seen documented you might have already figured this out, but the problem is IE7 won't do a page-break after or before a tall element (defintion of tall unknown), so you have to use one of several various methods to create a 1px element before your page-break. Like: <div style = "height:1px" > </div> <div style = "page-break-after: always; height:1px;" > </div> It sucks, I know, but that's the way it is... ...Show All
