• Commerce Server Updating GUIDs for use with DW

  Afternoon, I’ve been having trouble importing objects into the DW from the CS databases: I’ve found a post on Alan Faulkner’s blog: ( http://blogs.msdn.com/akfaulkner/archive/2006/08/24/719638.aspx ) and the CS 2002 documentation: (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms944310.aspx) which mentions that all GUIDs need to have brackets to work with the DTS DW Importer. Our existing system does not use this format. I can easily migrate the existing profiles to the new format but I am worried that changing the transaction GUIDs will cause problems with data held in the various binary data columns it uses. Has anyone any experience of performing this change and do they know if there are any issues with just updating the GU ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Just saying Hi

  Hi! I have wanted to make a game for some time now... and I never really wanted to put much time into it until now. I have the whole game drawn out on paper (classes, skills, the way the networking works) but never got around to implementing it. I have been playing with this XNA GSE and have a car that I can drive around a track. Hopefully I will have more soon. I would like to "build up" to my main goal which is the game I was talking about before, but that includes animation which I am waiting for a nice example/tutorial for. Anyways, just figured I'd say Hi and I'm sure I'll be able to help out with normal programming stuff for now (I'm a software engineer for 2 years now), and maybe others can help me out with ...Show All

• Visual Studio Stop VS from showing last used files when opening a solution.

  Hello everyone! When I start Visual Studio by double-clicking on a solution file it always opens up the files that I had open when I last closed the solution. How can I stop Visual Studio from doing this I don't want any files to be opened so I can select which one I want in the solution explorer. Thanks in advance! Hello- I do not think there is a setting that will make this happen for you. The closest solution that I can offer is that you can go to Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard and assign a shortcut key to the command Window.CloseAllDocuments. This way you could at least have a quick way to close all of the open windows. To do this you will need to: 1. Open the tools->opt ...Show All

• Visual C# Printing ASCII character set from 127 to 255

  Hi i want to print ascii character set from 128 to 255. For that i used the following method Strings .ChrW(int CharCode) or Strings . Chr(int CharCode) but the output i am getting with this method is not similar to the Ascii character. Any help would be thankful. ASCII only contains 128 characters. Then there are a bunch of extensions to ASCII that use the full 8 bits, but you didn't say which one you're interested in. ChrW will interpret the code you pass it as a Unicode character, whereas Chr uses the default ANSI codepage. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Moving a data navigator control from the form surface to a container control

  Start a project with a form. Make a connection to the Northwind database. Generate a data source using the categories table for simplicity. Set the data source to detail view and drag it onto the form. At this point all is well - you can browse the data, make changes such as edit, delete, add etc. Closing and reopening the app and the changes persist in the database. Select the controls (all but the data navigator) and cut and copy them to a container such as a group box or tab control. Again all parts of the data navigator control work as expected and the changes get persisted to the database (which can be SQL, SQL Express, Access or whatever). Now cut and copy the data navigator to the container control. Again everything APPEARS to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Code for deleting figures

  I am a newbee at using VB, and I need some help. Here is the layout of my MSWord document. On each page, I have a figure title (custom style) and the figure (picture or object). I'm trying to automate the deletion of figure titles and the respective figures when the figure title contains a specific word. Any ideas out there Karen VM, I don't know whether you're familiar with the VSTO-Visual Studio Tools for Office. In your problem, I suggest you to use the Bookmark control that inherits from Microsoft.Office.Tools.word namespace.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Question about WCF endpoint

  I have two questions about WCF endpoint: 1. What is the purpose of endpoint address It seems that changing it has no effect. The service always use the base address. 2. In some example an endpoint with IMetadataExchange contract is added. What is the purpose of this endpoint Base addresses enables you to host multiple endpoints under the same base address and which shortcuts the duplication of the scheme, host, port, and root path inyour configuration. so suppose you want to access a service having endpoint as http://localhost:8080/samples/hello you can use baseAddress to configure it like this <host> <baseAddresses> <add baseAddress= http://localhost:8080/ samples/> </baseAddresses> ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA GSE - Vista installation

  Hello all, I'm running the latest Vista Ultimate (MSDN) version on my machine. For some reason I can't get GSE to install. At the end of the setup, Microsoft Visual C#  Express crashes and the setup is rolled back. Always when it states "Registering project templates". Like the Visual C# Express site suggests, I've tried uninstalling the product, and re-install it as an Administrator user. But that doens't work either. Afterwards I receive the same behavior. I've also ran the GSE setup as an Administrator, but still no luck. Thanks for all suggestions and help! What you would need to do is install the Visual C# 2005 SP1 Beta (I believe you can enroll in the SP1 Beta program on the Connec ...Show All
