  Has anybody been able to get the MOSS 2007 RSS Viewer Web Part to work with the XSL Link I have an RSS feed file and a style sheet in the same anonymously accessible location.

• SQL Server Overlay of textboxes are not rendering properly

  In the page header I have a rectangle that has 2 textboxes on the same line and both are the full length of the page. One textbox has text centered and the other has text right justified. When I render report in Studio or print it, the text appears on the same line and justified like I want, but when the report is rendered when I call the report by URL, the textboxes wrap, like it's taking the width of each textbox in account. Has anyone seen this Any suggestions on how to overlay text on the same line and the text keep their own individual characteristics I am having this problem too. I have a template with a standard heading including one image and 4 textboxes. The template includes a boolean parameter ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to void the TabIndex property so labels cannot be tabbed through?

  Is there a way to void the use of the TabIndex property I have a form with textboxes and labels, but I don't want the labels to be included in the list of controls that you "tab through". I want to be able to tab through just the text boxes, and then when finished going through all of them, it should go back to the first textbox, rather than having to go through each label before doing that. Thanks! Ah, I forgot that you were talking about Label. By default the default TabStop for a Label is false, so it shouldn't be tabbable anyway. Also, Label overrides TabStp and marks it with Browsable(false) so it won't appear in IntelliSense. I guess the question is why are your Labls TabStops true in the first place ...Show All

• Visual C++ What #include<file> is necessary for using namespace System;?

  The Visual Studio 2005 MSDN Help Search doesn't explain the prerequisite #include<file> needed before the System namespace can be called, for example, in the case it were needed to execute the following statements: using namespace System; Console::Clear(); Does anyone know this necessarily perchance Thanks. Dave, if trying to also use the following code: #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> using namespace std; using namespace System; Console::Clear(); What #include<file> could I use if it were preferred or how do you reference the System.dll if not Thanks. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GPU Based State-Preserving Particle System with XNA

  Hello, I would like to ask the experienced graphics programmers a quick question. A friend of mine and I are planning to program a GPU based state-preserving particle system for the XBox 360 using the XNA Game Studio Express. We haven't yet taken over such a task before and want to make sure the underlying framework allows us to do such things before we invest needless time. Do you consider this task possible with XNA or is there any restrictions that prevent us to do so Based on our theoretical knowledge so far, we would need the following things: - use textures as render targets - have two-dimensional textures to overcome texture size limitations - transfer texture data to vertex data (is there an equivalent to OpenGL's EXT_pixel_buffer_ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Multiple bluetooth devices

  I'm developing some software that needs to communicate with multiple devices (in a personal area network kind of way) through bluetooth, does Windows Mobile support simultaneous (or near enough, for example through switching) connections to multiple bluetooth devices If so, how many My guess would be that depends on actual BT hardware, drivers and used BT stack. Which means it's different for different devices. You should contact device OEMs or simply try it to find out. ...Show All

• Visual C# Make stand alone exe

  I posted this in one of the visual studio 2005 forums and someone suggested I try posting it here. In Visual Studio 2005 is there any way to actually make just a standalone exe file, like in visual studio 6.0 where you just go to Build or Make EXE or something similar All I can find is the publishing section which creates a setup.exe which then "installs" the program and checks for updates etc. I just want to make one exe file that can be run from any PC anywhere that you just double click and away it goes, straight into your program, in visual studio 6.0 this was no problem at all yet I have spent hours searching and am still unable to do this in VS 2005.

• Visual C++ Problem with Visual C++

  Hi, I installed Visual Studio 2005 and it was working perfect till yesterday. I installed another SW Development (DevCpp) to study the differences. The problem is that now when I try to create a project with Visual C++ it hangs I can’t do anything. I tried to uninstall both and reinstall Visual Studio 2005 only, but still same problem. Anyone can help Thanks, regards I'm having a hard time understanding why a DevCpp-install should mess up the VS project generation. It sounds to me like a common dialog problem (or similar), more so than an issue with VS. Have you got any problems with other parts of Windows ...Show All

• .NET Development Default Directory For Common Dialog

  Is there a System class/property that stores the location that a common dialog (file save etc.) will default to upon invocation Yes, what you say is true but that does not solve my problem. The vendor is not going to rewrite soon. Aside from this limitation the component has a lot of functionality. Thanks for the help. I will try finding where in the registry it is stored and overwrite. It does not seem that there is a higher level interface (or no one who has read this knows of one). Regards ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Problem #2

  We've got a project with 3200 objects. The project contains about 10 errors. When we attempt to double-click on one of the errors to bring up the file, Visual Studio will hang for anywhere between 3 and 10 minutes. The Task Manager shows 'devenv.exe' consuming about 90% of CPU resources for this entire time. We're using the RTM version of DBPro. Amos. Me too, we also have performance problems which stall Visual Studio (or at least one thread in VS). So we are killing VS 3 to 4 times a day. Afterwards deleting the .dat file helps to get it up and running again. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP5: Takes hours to load a very large database project

  We have a database with more than 4000 schema objects. It takes literally hours to load the SQL Server 2000 database project using CTP5. We could never get it working in CTP4 because of a large number of errors. The long time it takes to load the project makes it practically unusable for us. Is there any other workaround for this We are also unable to import any DB schema changes into the database project because the 'Write Updates' button always remain greyed out. I am sure this feature was one of the team's deliverables in CTP5. Sameer Same to me. I have created a solution with 2 Database Projects (SQL Server 2000) which took about 1 hour to import.
