• Windows Search Technologies Removing deleted documents from the index

  How are deleted files handled in WDS I am writing a custom protocol handler for a proprietary data store and was wondering how to let The Gatherer know that a file is deleted. Is this handled automatically Does it just know that a file is deleted when it can no longer crawl it Is there any way to make this more robust by notifying the gatherer that the file is deleted before the next crawl Thanks, Alan ...Show All

• Visual C# Make a File readable only by my application

  HI, I'm developing a windows application in c# and i use video with DirectX. My problem is that i don t want the video to be readable by classic players and only by my program. I ve try to use cryptography but it take to long to charge the video. If anybody as an idea... Sorry for my english, and happy new year, Laura. Hi, Its true that directly you dont delete... but the trick would be, just skip those bytes which are added externally to make it un readable when you are writing to some other temp file or soemthing like that and then read that new/temp file by your program, that should work... Please try it out and inform me the result, if i can help more... HTH, ...Show All

• Visual C# How get Graphics object a Panel

  Hi all, I am finding the way to draw an image on a panel. I have tried out the method that puts the drawing task inside overried onPaint() method and call invalidate(). However, my application need to do custom drawing depending on very different cases. Hence, forcing all drawing command in one method onPaint() is not flexible. I want to get the Graphics object of a panel ( as a member variable of a class) and then I can draw on it anywhere I want. I tried to get g=Graphics.FromHdc(myPanel.Handle) but there was an error saying myPanel.Handle value is out of range. I guess this is because panel's handle had not created. Would anyone please give me some example and hint on this issue Thank a lot! Regards, Stefen Huynh ...Show All

• SQL Server Definition of specific "Security Roles"

  Under SSMS I see the "securityadmin" Server role. Where in SSMS can I find the actual list of permsisions granted to this role (not just a generic description of what this role can do.) TIA, Barkingdog In summary they can add members to the securityadmin role, Grant or deny CREATE DATABASE and read the error logs. Additionally they are allowed to use the tasks: sp_addlinkedsrvlogin,sp_addlogin,sp_defaultdb,sp_defaultlanguage,sp_denylogin,sp_droplinkedsrvlogin,sp_droplogin,sp_grantlogin,sp_helplogins,sp_remoteoption and sp_revokelogin. The above mentioned list is from an old SQL 2000 scripts of mine. Additionally the description of the BOL and the appropiate command which are new for ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with DatePicker (Kevin's Bag-O-Tricks - January 2007)

  Hi all, I'm having a problem with the DatePicker contained in Bag-O-Tricks. The situation is as follows: 1. I have a DatePicker in my XAML-file. 2. The Value of the DatePicker is bound to the StartDate (DateTime) of my class: Value="{Binding StartDate}" 3. Now, when I run my app, open the DatePicker and click on a date: nothing happens! I put an event handler on 'ValueChanged', and that event only gets called one, when the DatePicker is created and the value is set to the StartDate. It seems that the control doesn't like it when it's Value is set explicitly, because it won't budge from that value. Any ideas on how I can work around this I'm now working with the MonthCalendar, which does not have this problem, but I would like ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Is there any memory leak tool available?

  Hello I'm currently using VLD (Visual Leak Detector) when doing mockup applications in win32. My problem is that I don't know of any tool I can use to find memory leaks for smartphone. Is there anything available Many thanks, Martin Malek Hello Sorry for not being clear from the start. I use unmanaged code and the examples in the article use .NET CF. Since it is not possible to mix unmanaged/managed code for smartphone I can't use the tools provided in the article. Is there any other way to do this Perhaps by using some C++ classes from the SDK or a tool written entirely in unmanaged code Many thanks, Martin Malek ...Show All

• SQL Server SP1 vs. Database Mail

  There have been at least 2 other threads mentioning that updating to SP1 after Database mail has been set up causes problems, but a real solution has not been described. So for what it's worth, here's the problem again: From an original developer edition release, Database mail is set up 1) in Surface Area Configuration, 2) a Database account and profile set up, and 3) SQL Server Agent set to send alerts to mail. After upgrading to SP1, the following error will occur at each startup: SQLSERVERAGENT reports: [298] SQLServer Error: 2812, Could not find procedure 'msdb.dbo.xp_sqlagent_notify'. Restarting services, changing profiles to public, and other past suggestions didn't help. But what really gets me is that if I completely ...Show All

• Visual C++ Starting off with C++
