• Software Development for Windows Vista Uninstall of our product pops-up a strange explorer.exe crash dialog

  The product that I work on has a Wise based installer, and when we uninstall the product, you get a pop-up saying that explorer.exe crashed. There is no visual evidence of the main explorer.exe crashing, and the task manager does list a second explorer.exe process running. Our uninstall is removing some file types and mime types, and does an SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED), but nothing that looks like it should crash anything, let alone explorer.exe. The error is: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: explorer.exe Application Version: 6.0.5744.16384 Application Timestamp: 45234a84 Fault Module Name: StackHash_0c47 Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: ...Show All

• SQL Server trapping Package Validation Error

  Hello, I created a new SSIS Package. I want to send an e-mail when an error occurrs. I set the OnError event to send an e-mail. I then decided to test this so I dropped my input SQL table. When I drop the import SQL table I get a Package Validation Error and I don't get my e-mail. Am I making a mistake. I want to always send an e-mail when an error occurrs in my SSIS package. By the way I did add an e-mail at the end of my SSIS package to verify my SMTP is working - it did. Thanks, Michael Steven Scholl wrote: Jamie, We have been using SSIS now for 6 months in a production environment to load our data warehouse.

• SQL Server Report Manager http/https - mixed links

  Hi, I have setup reportserver with default settings (non https) and afterwards in IIS added a certificate and https support. Know I am able to work really well and secure over the internet, but some links in report manager pointing to http://server.domain.com/reports instead of https: For example if i call a report and then in the top there are (view, properties,...) - View is HTTPS - Properties is HTTPS - History is HTTP - Subscription is HTTP I have read some articles - mentions I should configure https, but - in Report Configuration you could not setup HTTPS - in rsreportserver.config i have entered the https link version but did not change anything - in RSWebApplication.config the Reportserverurltag is blank - so i did not change anyth ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Runtime Installation

  I noticed the below in the MSDN documentation concerning the VSTO runtime installation. "How to: Install the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime - You do not need to install Microsoft Office applications on computers that you install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime on. For example, you can install the runtime on a server and use the ServerDocument object to access document files. If you do need Office applications on the computer, install them before you install the runtime. If you install Office after installing the runtime, you must run VSTOR.exe again and repair the installation." This seems like a hassle, since the end-user will install my app and I have no control over whether they install it before and/or afte ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Breaks IE6 Javascript/OWC Client Display

  I have a very large application that uses a Javascript menu with many items and grids created using Office Web Components (OWC 11). In IE 6 everything worked fine, but in IE7 some of items in the longer menus appear behind the grids, making those items unavailable to my users. At first I thought it might be the "windowed" vs. "non-windowed" controls issue (see MS KB article ID# 177378), but then I realized that if that was so then the problem would have occured in IE6 as well. Can anyone shed any light on what is causing this problem and what I might do to fix it This is an app running at a very large and famous corporation (I guarantee you all have heard of it) with over 2500+ users, and this problem needs to be ...Show All

• SQL Server set variable with stored procedure or...

  hi how can I set my variable value with a query I am about to make a procedure to get a comma seperatet array and insert into the table. if I omit ID (primary key) and set it as Identity every thing is ok but I don't want it to be Identity. so I have to find the max of ID and then add it to the first of my comma seperated values. the problem is I have a table name as nvarchar in the parameters. so I have to first make a query as string and then execute it. anyway I need to get the value of the query string and assingn @ID variable to it's return value. how can I do it so just suppose that I have @Values, @TableName (values are in the right order) then I want to find max(ID)+1 in @TableName (something like "select max(id)+ ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Exception of type 'System.Data.DLinq.CycleDetectionException' was thrown."

  hi all, i'm trying to persist a doubly linked list to my database, i have some test code that creates a list of 'timeslots' where each timeslot contains pointers to the previous and next in the sequence. the test code is effectively a for loop that creates 5 or so timeslots, with each successive one setting its 'previous' to the previously created timeslot and so on .... (I'm sure you get the idea). all looks fine in the debugger visualiser and integrity seems to be correct, when i call table.add(Timeslot) I get the following: "Exception of type 'System.Data.DLinq.CycleDetectionException' was thrown." can anyone confirm that the cycledetectionexception really is detecting a circular reference somewhere (I'm assumi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Garbage Collection

  Hi. I'm not a game programmer yet but I'm a programmer. I have been learning computer graphics (opengl) at school and while I was talking to one of the professor was referring to Java as the main problem is that the garbage collection does not permit it to be real time. I know that the .net framework which I use quite often has garbage collection as well. The problem with garbage collection is that you (the programmer) does not know when it will happen. My question are 1) Is Xna going to have garbage collection and 2) if it will have garbage collection, wouldn't this make a video game slow thanks Francisco 1) Yes, since it's based on the .NET Framework, garbage collection is built in 2) Not necessarily. ...Show All
