• Visual C++ Creating scheduled tasks in Windows XP/2000 using VC++

  Hi, I tried to create a task for an application which runs fine. I have set all the parameters and the task is configured to run only when the user is logged on with the user name provided(Done by setting the TASK_FLAG_RUN_ONLY_IF_LOGGED_ON flag). When I try to run the task I get a status "Could not start". Now suppose I manually edit any control in task property and click on OK the task runs fine. The task scheduler is running fine. Note:The manual edit specified may be anything, like just adding a space at the end of the excecutable name or the user name. This is a very rough adaption of the msdn task scheduler examples, which worked for me. Replace "USERNAME" of the Se ...Show All

• SQL Server Restart of SQL Server Agent needed - every day

  Hi, I'm having a very strange problem here. I've got a few SSIS-packages here which runs as Server Agent Jobs. They are scheduled to run every hour. This is what happens: on the first run, all packackes are running and completing all steps successfully. After that, at the second start of the jobs, activity monitor shows "executing step 1", but nothin happens anymore. To get the jobs running again, I need to restart SQL-Server Agent Service. I really have no clue whats wrong with my agent. Any suggestions/hints Regards, Jan Use the logging functionality in the SSIS packages to see which FLow task is making problems and is probably slowing down or freezing the system.

• Visual Studio Team System Printer Spooler Stops frequently

  We have print server running on Windows 2003 Server. For last few days, printer spooler services are acting funny. When users are trying to print through print server, they get an error message saying that printer spooler is not running. When I looked at a service under administrative tools, printer spooler service seems to be running, but I would have to restart services so that users can start printing. It seems to be happening in the morning, but once I restart printer spooler service, users don't that error messages anymore. I can't figure out why it's happening though. It only happens once in the morning for last few weeks, and there's more print jobs running in the afternoon, compare to the light printing in the morning. Ca ...Show All

  Hello, We're planning to upgrade our OS from Windows2000Svr to Windows2003,my question is,will there be problem on my SQL2000 installed is there patch needed for the SQL2000 to run in Windows2003 environment thanks&regards, jerico No, not one that I know of. never tried an inplance update od 2k to 2k3 (don’t know if you will do this). But the preferable method for me was to backup the databases on the old system, then for schizophrenic reasons :-) made a clone image of the old server, Update / reinstall the new one to Win2k3 and restored the data’bases on the "new" server.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. RocketCommanderXNA Mouse Issue

  I've successfully compiled the RocketCommanderXNA. However, when I run it I cannot click on any menu items. My mouse is moving around the screen but nothing I do allows it to work. I've looked at the source and it looks as if there are hot keys, but those do not work either. Also, whenever I attempt to debug and step through the code, it pukes on a renderTarget line and I can't debug in that fashion. Anyone have any idea whats going on and can point me in the proper direction Thanks! I also found this, the reason is that there is no mouse "Click" logic on the main menu screen. "\GameScreens\MainMenu.cs" As a save there are hot-key's set up for the menu "// Hotkeys, M=Mission, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Moving On

  Moving on from my last post, where I wanted to draw an ellipse in Picturebox1. I now want to copy the part of the image that is inside the ellipse and move it to picturebox2. I've been looking at Transform and Translate examples but not sure how to adapt them to what I'm after. Most of them just show you how to draw a rectangle and move it 100 pixels to the left. Some pointers please would be helpful. Actually, as I look at talldudes code, it looks like he really did talk to the buffers instead of inscribing images on a picturebox surface which is fine to do although Powell clearly recommends doing this kind of thing in a paintevent with an event supplied graphics. This goes back to an answer tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to add progressbar into toolbar in custom TaskProvider

  I created VSPackage and custom TaskProvider. It has toolbar with some buttons. I need to create progressbar into this toolbar to indicating progress of some checks. How can I do this Is it impossible One more question. I develop package with one german partner and I installed VS SDk to "Program Files" folder and he installed to "Programme" folder. Some referencies to SDK are hardcoded into project file by wizard. We use one source control so we have some troubles with that. So is it possible to write paths to VS SDK into project using environment varaible or somehow else I found more easy way but the idea the same. You do not have to add additonal file.

• SQL Server Protecting Stored Procedures

  I am creating a .NET application with a SQL database (SQL 2005). The database will be installed at the clients site. I would like to keep them from viewing my Tables, Stored Procedures, etc. I have read several posts on here and no one has given a solution to this, is this possible in SQL I am also currently encrypting/decrypting the table data in my SP's but what is to prevent the client from writing an application that accesses my SP's and therefore retrieving the decrypted data See: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=52094&SiteID=1 . The short answer is that you cannot protect your data such that it would be impossible for your client to get to it. You can make it, however, ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Do unsigned apps always give a UAC warning?

  We're distributing a legacy app. Do all unsigned apps in Program Files cause the UAC warning when run Is there any reason we can't just have the user install the app in C:\users\login-name so that we avoid all the UAC problems of Program Files Hi Oliver, Thanks for your answer. If we use MSI-typed packages, do we need manifest to be compiled into the package or not Regarding the shield. Thanks for the recommendation, "Vista Manifest" search provided very useful results. Looking through them right now.

• .NET Development Why is ASP.NET installed with Framework 2.0 during a Windows deployment?

  I've migrated Win2k console and Windows Service projects from VB 6 to VS 2005. I do not utilize web pages, only Windows forms and the Eventlog. The database is Access 2000 with ADODB and DAO 3.6 for programmatic compaction. I've created 2 deployment solutions, one for each. The references are installed from the local path not the web. Never mind that the ADODB.dll had to be manually added to the deployment projects since DAO was the only Detected Dependency. Why is ASP.Net installed during the Setup process Disabling the service has no affect on either of my apps. Is the ASP.Net installation a configurable option or is this a default "feature", should I decide at a later date that I want the References installed from the w ...Show All
