• Commerce Server Order History Detail

  Hi, On the account history page (of the Commerce Server Starter Site), as well as, the last page of check out, my client would like to see the detail/items of the order. What is the best way to accomplish this. I am surprised on the Account History page that the order # is not a link to the detail which would have been nice feature. Please Advise. What do you mean by details of the item Keep in mind that when you are showing an Order, you cannot be sure that the product in the Order is still available on the site, so you cannot link to the product details from the catalog. All that you can show is the product information already stored in the Order (with the LineItem class). If you want to sh ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista more than one Video Renderer, the get_FullScreenMode() always return E_NOTIMPL!

  In my program there are two video render filters, one for local window and the other for remote. However, when I did the following: IVideoWindow *pRemoteVideoRendererVW=NULL hr = Graph.gcap.pFg->QueryInterface(IID_IVideoWindow, (void **) &pRemoteVideoRendererVW); if (hr!=S_OK) { Log.Log(1,"IID_IVideoWindow failed %08x",hr); return; } LONG lMode; hr= pRemoteVideoRendererVW->get_FullScreenMode(&lMode); if (hr!=S_OK) { Log.Log(1,"CCyklOneDlg::OnFullscreen get_FullScreenMode failed %08x",hr); goto exit; } Everything went through without any error. Excepting the pRemoteVideoRendererVW returned by the QueryInterface() does not guarantee that it was the remote windows. It sometimes returns the local vid ...Show All

• Windows Forms SQL Database / Windows 98.

  Hi, I have created an application that accesses a SQL database and Published and installed on a Windows 98 machine which has .Net framework installed. The SQL Database is directly accessed at run-time it is not included as a Resource File - I have manually copied the file to the Windows 98 machine.

Does the ClickOnce/ Publish include all required files I really don't know what I'm doing, so any help would be great.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to use SELECT to find a similar not exact match

  Hi. I have the following code : MyParam.Value = Me .TextBox1.Text MyCommand.Parameters.Add(MyParam) MyCommand.CommandText = "Select Blue, Description, Year, Model From Table1 Where Blue = " MyReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader While MyReader.Read MySub = ListView1.Items.Add(n) MySub.SubItems.Add(MyReader(0)) MySub.SubItems.Add(MyReader(1)) End While What i want to do is that when i enter a value in the textbox it doesn't need to be exactly matching the values in the database, just a part of it. Example, let's say the "Blue" has 4 items as follows : 12145 12256 12188 12144 When i put only the value of "121", it will display (12145, ...Show All

• 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 just tried the adding some code to the form load handler: Private Sub For ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DelayActivity - how long left?

  I posted a reply in a previous post regarding getting information on delays here (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=795117&SiteID=1&mode=1) , but thought it'd be better as a seperate thread. I looked into Khalid's suggestion of using WorkflowPersistenceService.GetAllWorkflows() but wondered if there was a direct way of getting an instance. The only error I can see with this is that if you had say 250,000 workflows in the system you'd have to pull all that information back to find one timer state. Is there not a way of just getting the workflow information back for one WorkflowInstanceId Also, it only shows the next timer experation DateTime, what if there were a few timers in parallel states and you w ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlDumpExceptionHandler error on SQL 2000 SP4.

  I’m hoping that someone will be able to help me with a problem that I’m having with a SQL 2000 SP4 box that we’ve got.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to scale text with DPI settings?

  Hi, say I try drawing some formatted text manually with code like this: -- FormattedText text = new FormattedText("Text to display", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture , this.FlowDirection, typeface, 14, Brushes.Black); drawingContext.DrawText(text, new Point(0, 0)); -- It displays great in normal font mode (96 DPI). Now I switch Windows to large fonts mode (120 DPI). It renders at the same size. But I want it to grow since the text should be larger as indicated by the user. How can I detect this and what should I change to make my text size relative to the DPI settings Thanks! Hi Ifeanyi, Just FYI I've been emailing Neil Kronlage at MS back and forth on this too.

• .NET Development ConnectionString as app.config value

  In Visual Studio 2003/.net framework 1.1, I could use the designer of a component class to create an SqlConnection and then set the DynamicProperties of this object to use a config file key (app or web.config). I can't find this option in Visual Studio 2005 when working with an SqlConnection object in a designer. Do I have to get this value from the config file by coding now The designer should be automatically adding connection string entries to the application config file.

• .NET Development Problems with a localization project

  Hello all, Following Michele Leroux Bustamante's Globalized Windows Sample , I've worked on a project of mine, a window app, that uses a different project exclusively for storing Strings in different languages. The idea is adding a reference of the localisation project to the main project, and so enjoy the intellisense whenever chosing a String to show on the form- while the String will be chosen according to the Thread.CurrentCulture and the Thread.CurrentUICulture, which could be assigned before calling the Application.Run(form1()) method. This worked perfect when I managed everything from within the solution, the problems started when I've taken the main project as a .DLL and tried using it from a different solution and a different proj ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Find SQL Native Client in ODBC Connection Manager in SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)

  I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this posting. Looking at the descriptions, it appeared to be the best choice. I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. I have installed the SQL Native Client for XP. However, when I try to add a new data source through ODBC Connection Manager, SQL Native Client is not listed as an option. I have followed this procedure on three other systems with no problems. What would be causing the SQL Native Client to not show up in the list of available ODBC data sources I am having a very similar problem. I am using Visual C++ 2005 Express and have installed the Microsoft SQL Server Native Client. All the mentioned registrty entries appear to be correct. I have also i ...Show All
