• Windows Search Technologies Defining file locations to be indexed in WDS 3

  I’m having several problem defining file locations to be searched. These problems seem to have appeared since I upgraded to WDS v3. I have reinstalled it twice. I have wholly deleted it and reinstalled once. I’m running XP Home SP2. I tend to run programs hygienically – generally as a limited account (user), and the user’s files are set “private” (though I have taken this off, and it appears to make no difference.) Problems: The documentation talks of the WDS Options having a “General” tab. I don’t get one. I just get a single window called “Indexing Options”. Maybe this is just a documentation error, because the same happens in the Admin account. When in the Admin account, the indexing option offers C: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unlike Mercury Loadrunner, "value" null, "error", null displayed in web browser

  Using LoadRunner, copied the body of the request into a form parameter and parameterised the values. Upon running the web test, instead of the next page appearing,the following are displayed on the web browser section of the results. "value" null, "error", null  I looked at the context of the response and realised that the correct values of the form parameters were returned. However the body of the response displayed  {{"value" null, "error", null }} and hence cannot make progress with scripting Hi Ed, The script is meant to replay the javascript actions like submitting buttons and check boxes on a pop up window.

• SQL Server ORDER BY, only orders by the first character?

  Hi, I am using a stored procedure that is databound to a dropdownlist. The stored procedure works fine, aside from the fact that the ORDER BY only sorts the list of items using the first character in the cell. E.g.

• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 / Vista - Legacy Mode

  Does anyone know if the final release of Windows Vista will include the ability to run IE in a "Legacy Mode", i.e. running IE 6 in Vista We have many ERP applications that are unsupported on IE7 and we are looking to determine the impacts of upgrading. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help, Lance. Our specific issue to date is surrounding Siebel Application, which has heavy contingency on MS IE (lots of activex components). It would be nice if there were a "self contained" browser solution that would resolve this issue. Zero-footprint web applications that use MS IE and activex are a paradox. Thanks Again. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Completly Lost with Data Validation Code

  I am trying to write a small script which will allow for multiple choices to be selected from a dropdown list, but for ONLY the dropdown list to accept input (ie data protection). I had asked for help before, and the nice people at Contextures sent me to their site to download one of their spreadsheets (dv0017 http://www.contextures.com/excelfiles.html). I have been looking at the code, and I am clearly in over my head. The code is below. Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rngDV As Range Dim oldVal As String Dim newVal As String 'I think this means that if there is more than one cell selected, then exit If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo exitHandler On Error Resume Next 'Absolutely no clue here.

• Smart Device Development JPG image loading and rotation on Pocket PC 2003

  I have developed an app on PocketPC 2003 using VS2005. This application interfaces with a camera and retrieves JPG images from the camera. The app displays the images as thumbnails and allows the user to click the thumbnail to get the full size picture in a scrollable window. This all works fine, however loading the JPG is slow and rotation (the way I am doing it blows out the memory, no leaks that I can find. Image size: 2048(w) X 1536(h)). I am using imgdecmp library to load the JPG image to a DDB bitmap, and implement rotation by converting the DDB to a source DIB, then creating a destination DIB with rotated dimensions, then copy the source DIB to the dest. DIB, one pixel line at a time (very time consuming). When I use the Pict ...Show All

• Visual C++ _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE problem

  I ported my project from Visual Studio 6.0 to Visual Studio 2005.I was able to compile perfectly in debug mode using the _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE definition. Unfortunately when i ran it in release mode i got many errors like this:  Error 5 error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'TCHAR [260]' to 'char *'  When i didn't use the _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE definition then the above was a warning in debug mode but these dissapeared after i inserted that definition. I put this definition in the Project Properties->Configuration Properties->PreProcessor->Preprocessor Definitions. My preprocessor options are the following: WIN32;NDEBUG;_WINDOWS;_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE;_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRE ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks I don't know if this is any shorter but it is more compact. I assume that you are toggleing between the two sets of check boxes. Private Sub c1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Express edition upgrade

  Hello. I want to Upgrade my database that is in SQL server Express Edition to SQL server 2005 standard. I am using Report server. So my question is, is there something I should do before I make the upgrade or it is a clean upgrade (meaning: only following wizard instructions). Thanks. The upgrade is pretty straight forward, the install program for standard should ask you what instance you would like to upgrade. If you select the express instance it should go through fine. If you already have the server installed the easiest way would be to just backup the database on the express system and restore it to a new database on the new server. Doing this the server will also perform some checks ...Show All
