• Windows Live Developer Forums Popups for pushpins have wrong Y coord in Firefox

  Not doing anything fancy - just supplying some text to popup for a bunch of pushpins. Location of popup is fine in IE, but in Firefox the y coord discrepancy gets worse the larger the y-pixel value of the pushpin is in the map. Anyone know of a workaround Hi John, I'm experiencing the same problem GWW2007 mentioned. It happens with VE code run in IE (6&7) when the window isn't maximized. I'm also experiencing the issue when the pushpins are near the bottom of the map in IE7 even while the window is maximized. Is this user error or a bug As an example, I used the code from Chandu Thota's article " Code Your Applications To Deliver The World With Virtual Earth APIs" (I updated the code ...Show All

• Visual Studio Undocumented error (ESS_SS_HISTOPEN) in VSS 6.0

  Hi All, I'm automating VSS through the COM interface and I consistently get the same error when attempting to do a 'get' operation on items in my database. The error being returned is 0x8004D75C, which I mapped to ESS_SS_HISTOPEN (or "A history operation is already in progress"). Aside from an entry in ssauterr.h, I can't find any documentation that gives me any idea what this error actually means. Anybody have a clue Sean Sean, After talking to my devs, I got the following information: "Which version of VSS is he using In 6.0d and older it was not possible to have to Versions collections simultaneously, and that is the error that you’d get if you tried it.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How do you disable the Close (X) button on a Word application?

  Hi, Can anyone tell me how to disable both the close button (X) and the File->Exit menu option on a Microsoft Word application from .NET,  using c# Thanks, Philip This forum is specifically for the VSTO technology, and C++ is not part of VSTO. You need to ask this question in a newsgroup that supports C++. Since the code in this thread uses the Windows API, it should be relatively straightforward for C++ experts.

• Visual Basic Optimizing Search

  I am using VB.NET 2003 and MS Access. I have a TextBox and below it is a ListView control. As the user types a character in the TextBox, the records starting with that character get filled in the ListView control. The records are fetched from either Oracle or Access database. Previously, I used to execute a SQL query, which looked something like this: "Select FirstName from TableName where FirstName like '" & TextBox.Text & "'%" This query was set to execute as the text in the TextBox changed. If the TextBox is blank, then all the records get displayed on the ListView alphabetically. Now I have decided to use a different approach so as not to query the database again and again. Now what we are doing is that ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication with SQL Mobile 2005

  We are using SQL 2005 (SP1) and mobile agents with SQL Mobile. We are seeing an excessive number of updates after a device's database is reinitialized. My understanding was that if I generate a new snapshot or reinitialize all subscriptions (from the server), the devices would only get what the database looks like right now (inserts only) after syncing and/or reinitializing, but they are actually getting the right number of inserts and a huge number of updates in Replication Monitor. Any ideas Thanks! Mike Only LOG is published. Basically, the device logs to the log table. During a sync, the log entries are uploaded, the trigger fired (to move it to the history table), then the log entry is dele ...Show All

• SQL Server Mimic SQL Server Management Studio behavior inside RS Report

  I want to know how to mimic the SSMS behavior inside an Reporting Services report when querying an XML field. In SSMS, a field that is XML shows up as a link, and when the use clicks on the XML, it opens then entire XML document in a new window. I need this exact behavior in RS, but can't accomplish it. Any smart people out there who can do this I didn't realize you were trying to get an interactive representation of the XML. You can't really accomplish what you want in a report as we don't deal with XML data hierarchically - the XML data extension will flatten it and the binding it into a textbox will simply display the string. (Native XML support is in the long term plans) So, if you want an in ...Show All

• SQL Server Only 9999 Rows after MERGE JOIN in SQL Server BIDS

  I've gote 2 Tables with about 50.000 rows and I left outer join them with MERGE JOIN. The result are 9999 rows. Has anybody got the same problem. Maybe it's a bug! Daniel Krebs wrote: I've gote 2 Tables with about 50.000 rows and I left outer join them with MERGE JOIN. The result are 9999 rows. Has anybody got the same problem. Maybe it's a bug! Merge joining is one of the trickiest components to use in SSIS. First make sure the data is sorted when it gets into the merge join; then you have to tell to the data flow pipeline how the data is sorted by changing some properties in the source component. Alternatively, you could place a Sort transform before the merge join; but that is ...Show All
