• Visual Studio Team System Restricting Check-Out on File Type

  I think I know the answer to this already, but I figured I would ask... Is there a way to lock down certain file types that cannot be checked out for certain user groups For example, I don't want to allow our graphics team to checkout any .vb files, but it's cool if they check out .aspx files. So, can I restrict the graphics team group to only allow certain files to checkout Thanks in Advance! There's really not a great way to pull this off, as you've probably guessed. You could set permissions for all existing files of a particular extension, but managing this would be a huge challenge. If you went the permission route, I think it would be easier to manage if you chose to give the group PendC ...Show All

• .NET Development Making PlaySound loop .WAV files

  I have been trying to make my Frogger game have some music in the background and so far I have been able to make it play asynchronously in the background but I can't seem to make the file loop, it only plays once. I have tried using NO_STOP and SND_LOOP but they don't seem to be working. This is the code so far: Public Class SoundClass Declare Auto Function PlaySound Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal Name _ As String, ByVal hmod As Integer, ByVal flags As Integer) As Integer ' name specifies the sound file when the SND_FILENAME flag is set. ' hmod specifies an executable file handle. ' hmod must be Nothing if the SND_RESOURCE flag is not set. ' flags specifies which flags are set. ' The PlaySound documentation ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing include file stgprop.h

  Ntquery.h try to include missing file stgprop.h in the June 2006 CTP. As a workaround i've added storage property set definitions in it manually from the previous version of ntquery.h. HTH, Sergey. I'm seeing this too - in the RTM version of the SDK. Pretty bad... I have tried just commenting out the reference to "stgprop.h". That fixes the missing file error, but now our code cannot find includes for PSGUID_STORAGE or PID_STG_CONTENTS. And that's just for starters I imagine. PSGUID_STORAGE can now be found in "ShlGuid.h". I guess the integration of search into the shell moved this define. PID_STG_CONTENTS define is nowhere now... It is referenced by a comment in "propkey.h", but no ...Show All

  I had spoken too soon to regards to the ability to ping my emulator instance. It works great in the first 1-2 minutes and then seems to drop out.

• Smart Device Development How to use RegisterRunningDevice

  Hi all !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm on an important project of network device developping. I made a UPNP AV Control Point that works very well. Now I'm building a MediaServer device and I'm facing a problem about register the device. I did my own implementation. Since it doesn't work, I tried the example provided by the microsotf SDK and I get the same error after calling IUPnPRegistrar::RegisterRunningDevice. the return result of the function is 8004a025. I searched the meaning of this value and I didn't obtain anything. If somebody can know the meaning of this or the causes of non-running of this function, I'm waiting your contibutions because without running the function I canont progress. Thank you very much. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BUG - also in CTP7 - VS Error Window does not refresh properly

  Hi, I have found, that with certain types of errors the errors shown in the errors window are not refreshed / deleted even if the cause has been eliminated and the project is rebuilt without errors. The original error is still there although the project builds and deploys successfully. This seems to occur when an "out of ordinary" error occurs (ie. some of the errors that occured in the solution view because of file conflicts, errors with inconsistency of the project). In this particular case I got the same conflict as Juergen did with a data generator. In fact, I think this not refreshing occurs most often with the data generator. The error I had is described in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx P ...Show All

• SQL Server Versions of *.mdf file: which relate to SQL Server 2000 and which to SQL Server 2005?
