Visual Studio Express Editions code for title bar X
Hi everyone, I have a simple question, the "X" or the close icon in the top right of the title bar, can you write additional code for this What I'm looking at is putting a messagebox onto its click event, like "Are you sure you want to close this application " and then have the Yes/No option. I know all about the messagebox part but I can't seem to figure out where to look for the forms "X" code. Any pointers greatly received. Scott Scott, If you are not seeing the message box, your program is probably not executing the routine. Have you "hooked up" this routine to the FormClosing event In the designer, select the Form. In the properties window, click on the lightning ...Show All

.NET Development ReflectionOnlyLoad - limited usefulness?
There are two major limitations (at least as I see it) of the ReflectionOnlyLoad method of the Assembly class that I'm looking for work-arounds for: 1. Assembly methods such as "GetExportedTypes" cannot be called on the assembly object created via ReflectionOnlyLoad. This raises the obvious question: what is the point of ReflectionOnlyLoad if you can't actually reflect on the types of the assembly In addition to the other obvious question: why does ReflectionOnlyLoad return an Assembly object when it doesn't work like other Assembly objects created by other methods Shouldn't it return an object where the methods defined for that object work . 2. Assemblies can only be loaded into the current app domain (and then cannot be ...Show All
SQL Server 2005 SP2 Install Failed, and Now SQL Server is Unusable.
Hi, I have a problem with my SQL Server 2005 instance after trying to install SP2. My machine has a default instance of SQL server 2005, and 2 instances of SQL 2005 express. I installed Express SP2 and this installed without a hitch. Then I installed SP2 for SQL Server 2005. After the install, all the components had installed correctly except the Database Engine, which had a status of failed. I did not investigate why, I simply re-ran the install. It failed again, so I investigated further and I found out it failed because it had not been able to start the service VSS Writer. I looked at the service, and found I had changed the user which gives the service rights to start. I changed this back to Local System so the service c ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Adding my new custom transform filter seems to cause a graph problem
Hello, I've written a very simple transform filter to solve what I believe is a problem with Logitech's latest (v10.x) webcam drivers. I think my filter works fine, but seems to introduce an instability when I include it in my capture graph. Specifically: as detailed in another one of my posts , the Pause/Resume function would no longer work in my capture graph with the new Logitech drivers. Now, with my custom filter added to the graph, Pause and Resume work fine until I take a snapshot from the video capture driver's "still" pin. After a snap, resuming from a pause operation hangs the graph. That is, control never returns from this statement in my code: _mediaControl->Run(); The app just hangs. Removing my fil ...Show All

SQL Server sp_cycle_agent_errorlog fails/SSMS recycle Agent log fails
Hi, The sp_cycle_agent_errorlog stored procedure fails on our primary SQL Server 2005 server; the SSMS context menu option (right click Error Logs under SQL Server Agent in object explorer) to recycle the agent log also fails.

Visual Studio What caused creation of THOUSANDS of tmp files in SourceSafe users directory?
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and VSS 6.0d. Visual Studio and VSS were getting slower and slower, and my entire computer was too, if those apps were active. To make a long story short, the culprit was this: there were 65536 0-byte *.tmp files in the VSS <database>\users\<username> directory. That's, right 65K 0-byte files. This wasn't in the <database>\temp directory, but in a directory for users .. the one with the ss.ini in it. Anyway, I deleted 'em and all is well. But I'm a guy who likes to know 'why'. Anyone know -BillyB In general tmp files in user's ini folder may be caused by: - VSS crashing during save of ini files so it doesn't get to the point where the tmp files are deleted - antivirus keep ...Show All
SQL Server Is This Possible? Defaulting of a Dimension Atrribute
I have a dimension with one visible attribute, let's call it "Status." This attribute is binded to one column from a forecast fact table that stores monthly snapshots. This column simply has a 'Yes' or 'No' value for every record in the fact table. For a specific customer and product combination in this fact table, this "Status" column could have started off having a value of 'No' a few months ago, and now has 'Yes' for the current month. In other words, it can have both possible values. For example, let's assume the following forecast data for the Customer A and Product B combination: Month | Forecast $ | Status ---------------------------- November 2006 | $5 | 'No' December 2006 | $10 | 'No' January 2007 | $10 | 'Yes' This "Status" attri ...Show All
