• Software Development for Windows Vista Strange behavior after CDBurning is disabled

  Dear all, While testing Vista CDBurning, I found a strange Explorer behavior... 1. Install Vista Beta2 5384 2. Insert a blank DVD+RW disc. 3. Format the disc. 4. Copy some files and it works well. Close all Explorer windows. 5. Lauch "gpedit.msc". Follow "Administrative Template" -> "Windows Component" -> "Windows Explorer" and then enable the "Remove CD Burning Features" option. 6. Check the formated disc, now I can not drag & drop, copy, and paste any file via Explorer. But I can create new folder, new text files and new bitmap files. Further more, I can use "copy" command under command line mode to copy files to the d ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sample grabber callback / one shot for audio samples

  Hi DirectShow forum, I would like to use the sample grabber to get uncompressed PCM audio data out of my filter graph to play using other means (i.e. not a DirectShow renderer). The sample grabber "one shot" mode would be the ideal solution to this problem, becuase it would allow me to create a simple GetSample function which advances to the next sample and returns the data. Unfortunately, the "one shot" mode is completely broken (as anybody who has attempted to use it already knows...) I can't use the callback functions because my application for the sample data does not match the playback rate of the graph. It would be possible to use the callback functions if I could reliably pause the graph after each callback, allo ...Show All

• SQL Server Using expressions in other expressions in SSRS 2000

  All the other reporting tools i've used have the ability to give the result of an expression (formula or calculation) a name (or load it into a variable) and include it in another expression (formula or calculation). I can't find this functionality anywhere in SSRS 2000, does it exist Thanks. You can create either a calculated field ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345330.aspx ) or a textbox that has the expression you want to reuse, and reference the field/textbox from other expressions ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157274.aspx ). ...Show All

• SQL Server Update a record based of a record in the same table

  I am trying to update a record in a table based off of criteria of another record in the table. So suppose I have 2 records ID owner type 1 5678 past due 2 5678 late So, I want to update the type field to "collections" only if the previous record for the same record is "past due". Any ideas You can join a table with itself when performing an update in much the same way that you join with another table. If you data is exactly as you have stated, then a command like: UPDATE t1 Set type = 'collections' From myTable t1 Join myTable t2 On t2.owner = t1.owner And t2.id = t1.id -1 You can make a number of variations from this basic query. You can use a subquery to find th ...Show All

• SQL Server After deploying a Business Intelligence project how to recreate the OLAP security

  During development the project is focus on schema and schema changes and test security. When I I deploy the database to production, I end getting the development security in the production database. How does one create a script that recreates the security in the production environment so that I can be reused it after the deployment. The synchronziation wizard is not appropriate since it moves data as well. In SQL Server Management Studio you can access Script related menu commands from the context menu. All management dialogs in that program also have Script button on the toolbar. An object can be scripted and script re-executed on another server. Additionally you can ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7, OE6 Printing problems with headers

  Having an intermittent problem printing To: From: CC: Subject: Attachments: headers on emails. Usually happens with larger emails or emails with large attachments or emails that have been replied to or forwarded from other people. Have installed Generic/text printer and sent the email to this printer but sometimes the headers are still missing even printing this way. I have if I open the offending email and highlight just one or two words in the text of the email eg Dear John and then print the email using my HP printer (not as text on Generic printer) - the headers then print and so does the selected words. Don't suggest using Outlook as often we only print the first page of emails as we already have the rest of the email on file especial ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2005 SE x64 runtime

  I found the x86 runtime download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=f5539a90-dc41-4792-8ef8-f4de62ff1e81 but didn't see one for x64. The x86 runtime page also makes no mention of Vista compatibility. What's up with Windows XP x64 and Vista This is what I found about this: Visual Studio 2005 and Office are not a native 64bit applications, but they will run in the WOW on x64. You will also be able to cross-target and debug on IA64 from a 32bit computer, or a 64bit computer running in the WOW. I think the setups both target the 64 and the 86 machines... -= Maarten =- ...Show All

  I have a richtextbox, and I want my application to add "<br />" to the end of each line when I hit a button. not sure in RTF.

An example however: Dim theImage as Image = Image.FromFile(" theImage.jpg ") 'Load the image from file ClipBoard.SetImage(theImage) 'set the image in the clipboard Me.theRichTextFormat.Paste(DataFormats.Bitmap) 'paste the image into the document in the RTB control ...Show All

• SQL Server Error from AS2005 - Binding for column 'xxxxx' is not a ColumnBinding type

  I've seen this question come up a couple times on the public .olap newsgroup, but I've never seen an answer, so I'm going to give it another try: I'm getting an error when I try to incrementally process my SSAS 2005 cube: Errors in the high-level relational engine. The binding for the 'column-name' column is not a ColumnBinding type. In this case, the column name that's given is a name that occurs in only 1 table in the underlying schema, so I know unambiguously which column it's talking about. The relevant part of the schema is roughly this: create table Date( DateID int not null primary key, /* ... */ ); create table File( FileID int not null primary key, FileDateID int not null foreign key references Date(DateID), /* ... */ ...Show All
