• SQL Server SP1 R6031 when starting DTA

  My environment at home is I am running Win XP Pro with SP2 and I am running SQL Server 2005 standard. I am receiving error message 'R6031' when I try to start DTA. I have gone into KB and found article 913395. I am unable to delete the key value indicated as I do not have that key in my registry. I would really like to use DTA! Any suggestions I also saw this suggestion while searching for this error: "Also please check if an environment variable __COMPAT_LAYER is set "set __COMPAT_LAYER=" , basically disabled the compat layer and dta ran OK" Thanks, Sam ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dependent Content Builds with Custom ContentProcessor

  So I'm trying to understand how to customize the content pipeline by building my own content processor for a fictional filetype (.tlf). This filetype is merely a list of relative paths to textures separated by newlines. Unfortunately, the sample in the docs only shows how to make a custom processor for something with no dependencies. However, thanks to our good friend reflector, I came across the BuildContent api in the ContentProcessorContext class. According to the docs, it can be used to (for example) "replac e the original TGA file references with new references to the converted texture files". This seems like the perfect candidate ... however, I'm not really sure what to do with the returned ExternalReference object which ...Show All

• Gadgets Strange background behaviour

  I'm adding the option of choosing the background on one of my gadgets, with 3 backgrounds to choose from. On my gadget I have areas that change the cursor to the hand with css and have onclick listeners to perform an action when the area is clicked. The strangest thing is happening, though. On 2 out of 3 of the background images, these areas function correctly (100% perfectly). On the 3rd background image, they don't. The hand cursor only appears on certain parts of the area and the onclick handler only functions when the hand cursor is visible. I really don't understand this at all, they're just images, right How can the background image have an effect on the elements of the page To start with, the background was set using System.G ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How to control frame buffer mechanism

  Hi, all: In DShow, there are some allocators in input pins to control the buffer management, frame queue, and memory re-use. But in MF, I don't know how to control the details about frame re-use. For example, a MFT can create and output DXVA buffers by itself. But, the MFT does not know when the buffer can be reused. That makes me very confuse. Always to re-create DXVA buffers is not efficiency. Is there any more detail information about that Else, I don't know how to playback video smoothly. Thanks What is IMFVideoSampleAllocator, I cannot look up it on my sdk. Is it a new interface And how to wrap the standard MF implementation easily Use COM agregation Thanks ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How can I draw transparent background on using pocket pc 5.0

  I need to create bitmap buttons with round edges. My forms have a bitmap as backgound and not one solid color. So I have to make my Bitmap button with transparent color. I created a png image with transparency and in my user control(for the button) I define the background color as Color.Transparent. In the visual studio it looks great but when I run the application on the PDA I do not have any transparency not for the png image and not for the user control background is there any good solution for this Windows CE doesn't support transparency on a window level. In your case you can emulate this transparency by drawing the form's bitmap area in your control's OnPaint override and then draw your button's image on a top wit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment of VTSO solution developed in C#

  Hi, I have been using Microsoft .Net 2003 (C#) and VBA to develop solutions for Microsoft Office 2003. Basically it is a user-template based solution. I want to migrate to Microsoft .Net 2005 and use VTSO to develop the solution for Microsoft Office (2003 and upwards....). It will be a Shared-Addins type of solution. (all the solution are for desktop-winforms) I want to know whether I need to deploy Office PIA to the user's machine when deploying the VTSO solution All the possible solutions are welcome. Also, Please suggest If there is a more better solution in VTSO other than Shared Addins Thanks Padmabhushan I recommend that you do not use the Shared Addins. Instead you need VSTO 2005 SE to create Addins f ...Show All

• SQL Server Pass a variable to a DataReader in a DataFlow task

  How can I pass a variable to a DataReader in a DataFlow task My SqlCommand for the DataReader is: SELECT CustName, CustCode FROM Customers WHERE CustCode = ' ' The DataFlow task is nested in a ForEach loop. I confirmed that the variable is changing with each loop by using a ScriptTaks and a message box. However, the DataReader SqlCommand does not seem to be updating.

• Smart Device Development Querying SQL Server CE 3.0 with Visual Studio

  Hey all! I'm comming across fustrations with the sql querying tool that is built into visual studio 2005. I'm trying to query a Sql Server CE 3.0 database, and have dropped a few tables onto the diagram pane, and select my columns and everything queries fine. However, if I change my join between the two tables to a Right outer join, the designer automatically slaps a '{ oj ... }' around my where clause which isn't supported by sql server ce 3.0. Anytime I remove it and try to execute my query it automatically re-adds these sumbols and displays an error to me. Is there any way I can get visual studio to stop automatically adding these sql symbols when talking to a database that doesn't support them Below is the query it produce ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Beta 2 with .new Framework 2 (release) and VS 2005 SDK (October)

  I had VS 2005 Beta 2 installed and working with .net Framework 2 Beta 2. This morning I decided to try out the DSL tools. This required replacing the .net Framework 2 Beta 2 with the released version. Then installing VS 2005 SDK. Eventually I got everything installed. But now VS 2005 won't load. I get the splash screen with the note about the VSIP Licence Required (I read the threads indicating that this didn't mean anything). So will the DSL tools work with Beta 2 of VS 2005 Thanks Chris. Hallo JDevitt, No, as Craig said, each Visual Studio version is bound to a specific version of the .NET framework. You can have multiple versions of the .NET Framework installed to your system (for your applications to run) but you can ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How make a Custom Behavior participate in a transaction?

  Hi, I have a WCF Service that handles money movements and these money movements must be audited. The audit is done thru a WCF Custom Behavior (a type that implements IServiceBehavior). The question is how to make the Custom Behavior participate in the same transaction of the Service action that makes the money movement, in order to rollback everything in case the money movement fails or the audit fails. Thanks Jp.- Hi, Thanks for your time. Basically the service has several operations related with money transactions and because of legal requirements in our country, all those movements has to be audited. If the audit fails, the transaction has to be rolled back. There can not b ...Show All
