• Windows Forms Accessing objects(controls) across threads...

  I am working on a MDI application. On clicking a one of the MDI menu item, a series of modal dialog-boxes need to be shown, where the value returned by a dialog box is used in the successive dialog-boxes. Also, all dialog boxes are childen of the main MDI form. I dont want the dialog boxes to block the working of the rest of the application. The only way to have their independent execution (while showing them with the ShowDialog() function) is to show them in a separate thread. Now the problem is that the dialogs are children of the MDI form & so ned to have their MDIParent or Owner property set. But as they are in a separate thread, trying to assign MDI form as their parent generated an exception, 'Cannot access objects across ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to prevent SourceSafe login dialog from prompting up?

  I am using MS SourceSafe through MSSCCI to handle file version control and I am new to this area. Follow the document, I call the functions in this sequence : 1 SccInitialize 2 SccOpenProject 3 Other functions 4 SccUnintialize Everything works fine only the annoying VSS login dialog prompts up when I call SccOpenProject. I know I can use SCC_OP_SILENTOPEN but my call will fail with return code 2 ( operation cancelled ) if my user id has password. I can't find any SCC function that expects a userid/password, so really don't know how to let SourceSafe know my userid/password. Can anybody tell me how I can login to VSS silently without the need to input userid/password in a VSS login dialog Thanks, Zheng ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista how to restart workflow runtime after IIS restart

  My question is for workflow exposed as web service through webserviceinputactivty/webserviceoutputactivity. My impression is that workflow runtime is only started after the first web service call. My test workflow has 3 activities: webserviceinput, webserviceoutput, delay. SqlPersistence service is enabled. The workflow is activitied through a web call. When executing the delay activity, it's persisted to the database. Then I shut down the web server (ASP .NET development server). When the web server restarted, the timer already expired but the workflow was not resumed. Only after I made another call to the web service, the timer fired. I did an experiment in a winform application. When the application starts next time, the timer fir ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Documentation error __uuidof ?

  The online MSDN documentation says to use CoCreateInstance with __uuidof(BootOptions), __uuidof(DiscFormat2Data), __uuidof(DiscRecorder2), etc. to create instances of the corresponding interfaces. Shouldn't these be prefixed with Msft, for example __uuidof(MsftDiscRecorder2) Checking the IDL I believe __uuidof(BootOptions) is correct but __uuidof(DiscFormat2Data) and __uuidof(DiscRecorder2) should be __uuidof(MsftDiscFormat2Data) and __uuidof(MsftDiscRecorder2) indeed. ...Show All

• .NET Development Program built with .Net 2.0 needs to run a computer with .Net 1.1

  Good Morning, I've written a program using VB in Visual Studio 2005. It is designed to access and modify the Assistant and Assistant Telephone fields in a User Object in Active Directory. On my developer workstation it works flawlessly, but I have .Net 2.0 installed as part of the Visual Sudio 2005. When I try to install the product on our Helpdesk Tech Machines, it attempts to install .Net 2.0. The environment in which our Helpdesk personel work maintain a strict "standard workstation" mentality and will not allow the .Net 2.0 software to be installed; they do currently have ver. 1.1. I am using the System.DirectoryServices namespace to access Active Directory and write the information back to the object, which appears ...Show All

• Visual C++ Multimedia API MPU-401 Reset Problem

  I have used the Win32 Multimedia API for many years for MIDI programming and have always returned to it despite the supposed charms of DirectX etc. However so far as I know there is no way to force a MIDI hardware device reset using the API. Does anyone have a workaround for this - I used to do it very simply in 8086 assembler by sending FF to the MPU-401 command port 330H. Thanks for any help. Please direct this question to the multimedia newsgroup. This forum deals with the VS 2005 GUI and libraries, including configuration issues, and not the use of the libraries as such. http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.win32.programmer.mmedia&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• SQL Server Different Types of Calculations

  Hi, there, We have a rather complicated case here. Our current solution relies heavily on relational database. All the calculations have been done in T-SQL. FYI, previously, users had been using Excel spreadsheets. Calculations in the spreadsheets (Excel formulas) have been implemented in the relational using T-SQL. OLAP cubes are built on top of the relational. This also means that the OLAP cubes we have are taking the results from the relational. We think the better way to implement this solution is to use Analysis Services. But, we have some concerns over the calculations that Analysis Services can do. As mentioned before, we have built all the calculations in the Excel spreadsheets in T-SQL. We have been using the relational way of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema compare not working between local db and project

  I am able to compare my database project with anything other than my local db (the db created by a "build"). When I attempt to compare with the local db, no differences are found, even if I have modified the local db. To reproduce: 1) Import data from DB #1 into Database Project. 2) Build database project. This will create Database #2 locally. 3) For Database #2, modify a table (add a column to it). 4) Run Schema compare and compare Database #2 with the database project. 5) It shows no differences. 6) Now do steps 3 and 4 but use Database #1. 7) It will show the differences. What am I doing wrong All of this steps from the fact that I do not want to hand edit scripts to modify tables. I want to use the GUI. Therefore I need to r ...Show All
