• Software Development for Windows Vista creating registry key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE accessible by all

  Hello, Basically I have an application (dll) that allows admins to configure a system wide configuration that is accessible (read-only) by normal users. The system wide configuration is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. The code of course works on Windows 2000/XP but not on Vista because of, as I suspect, the fact that the information is stored in the virtual store under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. When the admin stores the new configuration and a normal user attempts to use the configuration (in a different security context) they receive a unknown registry key error as the information is, of course, not available. As I understand reading through the forum setting the "run-level" using a manifest file allows me to skip the virtualization and w ...Show All

• SQL Server Procedure expects parameter which was not supplied...?

  I have this SP definition and below that the code to execute it from .Net. But I'm getting this error: Procedure 'GetNewId' expects parameter '@Key', which was not supplied. Saw an solution on some site which said to set the value of the output param to NULL before calling it, but that didn't do anything. Anyone have any ideas why this may be happening Thanks in advance.

• Windows Forms NativeWindow WndProc and EnableVisualStyles

  Hi all, I've been creating a custom tooltip control, and in it I need to tap into the WndProc of the tooltip window to capture TTN_NEEDTEXT notifications. I'm doing this with a NativeWindow derivation. I've been successful, and everything works fine EXCEPT some messages cause an infinite loop when I call base.WndProc(ref m); for the unhandled messages. The recursion causing messages seem to be only the messages that occur directly on the tooltip (like WM_MOUSEMOVE and WM_LBUTTONDOWN). This problem goes away if I don't EnableVisualStyles() for the application. Here's the implementation for my NativeWindow derived class' version of WndProc: protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { bool handled = this.toolTip.WndProc( ...Show All

• SQL Server ASP.NET cube administration?

  Hi all! We would like to create an Intranet based cube administration tool. Power users should be able to process cubes and dimensions. This works and all the cubes, dimensions and even databases from the SSAS can be displayed in the web! ASP.NET@C# combined with Microsoft.AnalysisServices offer a lot of very good possibilities! But we still have a problem: How ist it possible to show some kind of progress bar (maybe in a self refreshing iframe or a new window ) When a cube/dimension is processed the user does not get ANY feedback (of course the webserver waits to finish the process() method. I tried to start a different thread an this even works! I want to show our powerusers at least some kind of progress (%, ev ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cvapipath.cpp error

  I attempted to do what the last user on this thread suggested on there was no change the same CVApipath.cpp error exists. THe kicker is nothing has changed in the application. I just opened it from the other day and now it' cant get the latest. Following solution below did not work for me. Thank you for the links. I solved my problem by re-installing MDAC. Since I am running XP SP2, this was a little cumbersome... If anyone else has this issue here's the solution: locate the mdac.inf file in c:\windows\inf, right click and select install. When prompted for a location, point to either c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 or c:\i386. Everything works as expected now. Jason I need a little more informa ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating Total to-date query...

  I am trying to create a query where the data is for a time period but there is one column that would show a Total-to-date. I've tried google and searching this forum but everyone talks about year-to-date or period-to-date but I don't want that. I would like to do : [from whenever data started being entered]-to-date I know I can hack this by doing an aggregate like so: WITH MEMBER [Timesheet].[Date].[TimeChargedTotal] AS 'Aggregate ( { [Timesheet].[Date].[Year].&[1900].&[1].&[1]:[Timesheet].[Date].[Year].&[2006].&[9].&[15] } )' Here I am betting on the fact that there is no data before 1-1-1900 which is a safe bet, but I'd prefer to do it the 'right' way if there is one. Thanks. I am not familiar ...Show All
