• Visual Studio Express Editions New projects fail to run

  xI created a new project today, and for some reason, when I try to run it, it exits as soon as it starts running. I've created other projects with this installtion of VB Express and never had a problem. The old projects even still work and run as I'd expect. As a test ,I created a new Windows Application with nothing in it but the default Form1, and ran it. It also exits as soon as it starts. BUT... If I double-click the exe in the debug folder, the Form1 window pops-up as expected. I even tried installing SP1 for Vb Express and that hasn't helped either. Does anyone have any idea why new projects would suddenly stop working Ok, I've done a bit more testing... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling VB Exp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing C++ Express on a Model Computer to be mirrored.

  I am building a new model computer to mirror a large number of workstations that are identical and need the same software on them. It has been requested that all the computers have C++ Express Edition. My question is: do I have to have a seperate registration for each of the computers that I mirror to, or will one registration work I do not know if there is an open license for the express products... but if you do not have an open license system or simular you will also have to activate some of the other MS Products that you install as well. But use you will have to register and activate each install of the Express systems. ...Show All

• SQL Server Browsing cubes through interfaces other than the BI Studio?

  I've built a cube, deployed it and processed it. I can use the brower in the BI Studio to see the data subsets and can manipulate it. How do I get this cube to the user without having to install BI Studios on their computer Basically how do I get the cube into IIS so the user can just open a web browser and go to it Similar to how cognos does it with their cubes. Or is this not possible I see no way to view the cube unless you are using the BI Studio to open it. Am I missing something Could you point me to some documentation on or the correct direction to being able to view the cubes through a web interface I'd like to be able to use strictly Server 2003 and SQL 2005 and be able to deploy these cu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help a dude out...please

  Im very new to programming, but I have the passion to learn. I am looking to make a program where you can type in "somthing" and press a button and place/replace that text in a specifyed file. This probably sounds confusing, but my goal is to make a program for a game that lets you easily customize it without trudging through all the files yourself. I know some basics, but if someone could please point me in the right direction that would be great! Thanks, Matt yes that will work. in regards to not finding the file, you have to make sure you put in the full path to the file so it knows where to look and open the file. so if its on the desktop, try: StreamReader theReader = new StreamReader(Environment.GetFold ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Random numbers

  I want that some variables have a random number. I used that code: var1 = Int(Rnd * 25) var2 = Int(Rnd * 25) Var3 = Int(Rnd * 25) But I'v got still a problem. The variables haven't a real random number. When I start my program then are var1, var2 en var3 = 17,14,13. Now there isn't a problem. It looks like it are random numbers. But when I quit the program and I restart it. var1, var2 and var3 are again 17,14 and 13!!! Is there a command that give me each time other values. So real random Just create the Random instance once and then reuse it. When you create it, create it like this to seed the random number generator from the clock: Dim generator As New Random(Environment.TickCount) Using the TickCount as the seed should make ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Some questions

  Hi, Some generate questions: 1) For Sequential Workflow, I can track the Instance History without using SQLPersistenceService, but for the Statemachine workflow, I must start the SQLPersistenceService before I can get the tracking history, is that true 2) In Beta 2.2, I remember we have the script to create the SharedPersistenceAndTracking database. But for the RC version, where can we get the Sql Script to generate the Shared store 3) After the workflow completion, we can get the Output Properties within the workflow instance with e.OutputParameters("ClaimAmount"). But before the completion, how can be get the properties (such as the Claim Amount we send to the workflow when we start the workflow) from the Workflow T ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Textured cube rendered with BasicEffect and Effect shader

  This code start from examples that you can find here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=694235&SiteID=1 by "pRtkL xLr8r" and "i made this". It show a textured cube rendered with BasicEffect (on left, with light) and with Effect shader (on right, not light). Not all faces are right textured. Press keys: Insert-Enter to toggle Full Screen/window mode; arrows, PagUp, PagDown, Home, Fine to move; Esc to exit. To dowload the project: http://tonigreco.spaces.live.com/ I hope it can help. Bye Toni Cool. It's good you moved the cube initialization to where it's not called every frame :). You can also, though cache VertexDeclarations and Effects. E.g., create them once and not each frame. If you cache the eff ...Show All

• .NET Development Strange XmlSerializer error

  Dear all, I am programming in VB.NET , using the .NET Framework 2.0 on a Windows Vista machine running VS 2005 with the SP1 beta applied. I have a VB class which was derived from an .XSD schema using the XSD.exe tool. I am able to instantiate objects from this class and build by "XML" object up using it, without too much difficulty. However, when I come to serialize the output to an XML stream, it fails, with a FileNotFoundException on the serialize line, e.g.: Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer( GetType (eGov.IRenvelope)) Where eGov is my class namespace, and the IRenvelope is the class within the namespace that corresponds to my object which I am attempting to serialize. The interesting thing is, tha ...Show All

• .NET Development Marshal SAFEARRAY to/from COM object

  I have a COM object with a method declared thus: HRESULT GetPixels([ in ] IDispatch * position, [ in ] VARIANT values, [ out , retval ] VARIANT_BOOL* result); - which I'm trying to call from managed code (c#, to be specific). My problem is with the values parameter. It's intended to be passed a VARIANT that has VT_ARRAY and (optionally) VT_BYREF attributes. It can have up to 5 dimensions, and the elements can be any of several types (from bytes to doubles). The values of the array are effectively 'out' parameters from the method, although the data type and array dimensions are effectively 'in'; in other words, the COM method fills the pre-allocated array with values. The default marshalling seems to treat the values parameter ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Modifying Shared View of Public MySite - MOSS 2007

  This question was asked over in the wrong forum, but I figured that I'd beat Jens to reposting it. How can a farm administrator, or SSP administrator I suppose, modify the shared view of all users so that they are able to place new webparts across all MySite pages. I realize that there is a different between the MySite and the personal site. tia gg Hi All, yes, used a wrong folder. Thanks for picking up my question. But I'm asking not only for updating the public but also for private view. Will modify both and store it as company wide mySite template. Following my original question: < how can I update the default template for new mySites After studying the "Office SharePoint Server ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Digital Certificate Error

  I am trying to create a digital certificate. When I run Selfcert.exe I type in the name of the certificate. I get the error "An error occurred during certificate creation. Selfcert was unable to create your certificate". I am running XP pro and Office 2003. Any suggestions on how to fix Thanks. I spoke too soon.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed Direct3D 10

  Since XNA only supports DirectX 9.0 Where is Managed Direct3D 10 I hope there will be Managed wrapper for Direct3D 10 thanks I think it would be a good idea for Microsoft to lay out a definitive road-map for the future of Managed DX, so that developers can have a sense of certainty that investments in development time along these lines are not a wasted effort. Hand-waving and deferrals to future SDK releases don't exactly inspire confidence.  Anyway, having ported much of my native C++ engine to MDX, I can say with confidence that MDX is definitely up to the challenge, as long as you do vector intensive graphics related stuff on the GPU (e.g., skinning), a ...Show All
