• .NET Development Nobody?

  Hello everybody, I am having a problem with authenticated streams and hopefully one of you can point me into the right direction. I would like to send an object (a filled dataset, as it can be fastly loaded for performance testing... ;o) ) via an authenticated stream. I managed to send it without authentication within a NetworkStream and I go the samples for Negotiate and Ssl streams to work (Thanks to Mike, Durgaprasa, and the rest of your team). But unfortunately the samples are only sending simple ASCII strings. As soon as I switch to my DataSet I am getting stuck with some problems. As serializing into a Networkstream did not work (any ideas why ) I serialized it into a MemoryStream and copied the bytes afterwards into the Negoti ...Show All

• Visual Basic File Format for Microsoft Access

  I would like to be able to tell if a file is Access, Excel, dBase or ASCII by looking at the records. www.wosit.org has an excellent collection of file formats but I could not find Microsoft Access there. Does anyone know the header format (or equivalent) where I can read the bytes and decide if it is Access or another format I can't trust the extension as some people change the default. Mr Yu, The website I mentioned shows identifying information from the header of the file. It does not use the extension. I am unfamiliar with the instance name and environment variables so will have to research that. Thanks for your helpful response. ...Show All

• Visual Studio C#/Crystal Reports Application Deployment

• Audio and Video Development Event following animation?

  How would I go about causing an event to occur but only after an animation has completed <cue select="id('MainMenu')" begin="id('MainMenu')[style:visibility()='visible']" dur="1s"> <animate additive="sum" style:y="90px;0px"/> <event name="HideMainMenu" /> </cue> Would it potentially be easier to move the menu off the screen, and just disabled it as part of the navigation If so, how is that done. Thanks for the help in advance. Events that fire when an animation ends would be very nice :-) Unfortunately they are not in the spec though. Probably the easiest way to do this is with a seq animation, although the & ...Show All

• SQL Server Displaying Chinese Character in varchar columns

  I would like to store some data in Chinese Big5 using a varchar column. However, all the data turn in to some garbage characters like Ru￥Uao . I ran into no problem if i use nvarchar but I would like to use varchar because I can only store less than 4000 characters using nvarchar. It works if I paste the characters directly into the SQL Express Client. It only turns into some garbage characters if i use C++ to insert the data. I am using Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation (The chinese won't show if I use the default latin collation) on the column and my computer regional setting for non-unicode application is Traditional Chinese(Taiwan). Any ideas how can I fix this problem I am suspecting there's a problem with my computer setti ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista InstallHInfSection doesn't work when run from Service

  I am using InstallHInfSection to install a device driver from an .inf file on Vista. It is run as follows: RunDll32.exe SetupAPI.dll,InstallHInfSection DefaultInstall 132 <path to inf file> Since Beta2 this has not been working when the command is executed by a process that has been spawned by an NT Service (I believe it worked ok in previous builds). The NT Service runs as LocalSystem. The command fails silently, with RunDll32 returning a success code. There is also no logging to the SetupApiLog file in the Windows\Inf directory. Executing the command from a Local Administrator command prompt works fine. Could the failure be related to the service changes implemented in Vista - ie. Session 0, non-interactive services etc. Regards, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions visual basic express database design capabilities

  I started a database model in Visio 2003, but learned that it's capabilities for printing table and column definition properties are practically non-existent. Does Visual Basic Express have the capabilities to print, or export to Excel or Access, the full range of table and column definitions including the notes/descriptions for each column and their datatypes This would be for documentation purposes. Thanks! The best way to document the tables and systems is to use a combination of tools. Yes you can get some images from the VB Express Edition, but not all. My suggestion would be to drop over to sqlservercentral.com and have a look at there script library, there you will find examples ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Question

  I have this Problem with an MDX in Reporting Services, but in the Reporting Services forum, noone can answer it. So I hope, this is the right forum: Consider the following example: SELECT non empty { [Measures].[Amount], [Measures].[Budget Amount] } on columns, non empty { [Products].[Product Hierarchy].[Level4].ALLMEMBERS } on rows FROM [Datawarehouse] WHERE ( [Material].[Material].[All Materials], [Date].[October 2006], [Company].[Company Scenarios].[Scenario].&[Vienna2market] ) I want to select not only [Vienna2Market], also [Salzburg2Market] should be selected, and both as one sum, not 2 separate columns. As I know, the WHERE part needs a Tupel, and each dimension can only be one time in a tupel. The Scenario Dimens ...Show All
