Visual Basic DST bug 2007
I use "daylight.start" and "daylight.end" to get the start and end dates for DST. I just patched my XP system with KB928388 which contains the fixes for the new DST. Now the dates are correct for 2007 and greater, but wrong for years < 2007. If you use year = 2006 you get 3/12/2006 and 11/5/2006. hey shold be 4/2/2006 and 10/29/2006. Has anyone else run into this Thanks, ttfo You can see similar issues in IsDaylightSavingsTime. All of the below return based on the 2007 rules rather than the way the various years actually implemented Daylight Savings Time. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 ...Show All
.NET Development Advice on "DAL" design (O/R mapping) sought
Beeing quite new to the .NET world I'm looking for some advice on choosing the "right" way to implement data access or O/R mapping in .NET applications (both ASP.NET or Forms). In the Java world, I would choose Hibernate to access databases and probably Jaxb2 for XML serializations. This is an easy choice, because there, both of these are mainstream or standard and quite satisfactory. I know of NHibernate, but if I understand it right, the next major release of .Net will include language level O/R mapping (is this so ). This would make my code obsolete if I introduced Hibernate to my company, which in itself would not be easy ;-). On the other hand, what is available right now with current ADO.NET is not very satisfactor ...Show All
SharePoint Products and Technologies Problems with Back up and restore
Hi: I have created a test web application and I've backup it, then I deleted it to make a restore and I restarted the IIS to make sure it doesn't exist anymore.

SQL Server Errors using the uninstall tool - 'vs_uninst_betas'
Hi Folks getting the following error message when using the tool and can get past it. i can email the error dialog to you if required, i just cant post it. the setup has encountered an unexpected error in data store. The action is RestoreSetupParams. The error is: Failed to read property installl ds sorry for the delay Nick, this one fell off the radar. If the manual uninstall trick doesn't work, it could be that the product is actually already uninstalled and only the Add/Remove Programs entry still exists, which is messing things up. As a last resort, you can try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility , which removes entries from the ARP list. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I'm not sure what is ...Show All
Internet Explorer Development IE7 Breaks IE6 Javascript/OWC Client Display
I have a very large application that uses a Javascript menu with many items and grids created using Office Web Components (OWC 11). In IE 6 everything worked fine, but in IE7 some of items in the longer menus appear behind the grids, making those items unavailable to my users. At first I thought it might be the "windowed" vs. "non-windowed" controls issue (see MS KB article ID# 177378), but then I realized that if that was so then the problem would have occured in IE6 as well. Can anyone shed any light on what is causing this problem and what I might do to fix it This is an app running at a very large and famous corporation (I guarantee you all have heard of it) with over 2500+ users, and this problem needs to be ...Show All

SQL Server 2005 transactional replication statement delivery
Hi There WHen creating publciations under 2005 i saw a very interesting option under stament delivery, for inserts , updates , deletes there is an option that simply says insert/update/delete statement. I could find very little in BOL about this under " Article Properties ", is this what it soudns like FOr example if you say : update Table set Cloumn = 'whatever', this will not trigger the update sp for each row at the subscriber , will it actually deliver the update statements and literally do the update/insert/delete statement at the subscriber Thanx just an FYI, using SQL instead of the custom stored procedures has a negative perf impact, it's primarily used for non-SQL server ...Show All

.NET Development Cannot find configuration tool for .netframework 2.0

Windows Forms Tabs like VS2005
I wanted to ask if anybody knows any control I can use in order to have the same "tabs" as VS2005. I mean the tabs which appears when we are opening a form or a class on the top of the window which is displaying the code or the form. If you didn't understand about what i am talking, i will try to draw them here :) They look like: _________ _________ / Form1.cs |/ Form2.cs |_________________ And we are using them to navigate between the classes / forms which are open. Thank you. I'm unsure but you could probably use the tabcontrol to do this. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.aspx ...Show All
Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Viewing Albums with WPF/E and ASP.NET AJAX - Unhandled Exception...
Hopefully this is OK to post here. If not feel free to delete it. I've been working on a WPF/E and ASP.NET AJAX demo over the holidays so I could learn WPF/E stuff better (the source of all my questions lately ). The app turned out pretty good although there's still more I'd like to add. I'd love to hear better ways I should be doing things, etc. if anyone has time to play with it at all. The application ties into Amazon.com's Web Services to look-up albums and display them in a 3D type style. Anyone interested can download the code and view a quick video I made about it here. Feedback and references to more appropriate ways to do things (especially in cases where there was an easier ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. VertexBuffer.SetData cost
Which is faster -Add vertices a few at a time to an array, then call VertexBuffer.SetData for all of them at once -Call VertexBuffer.SetData on a few vertices several times The array can be statically allocated, but the data is only relevant for one frame, so there's no benefit to keeping it around. Thanks, Max "it depends" (tm) Generally, doing a smaller number of calls with more data in each will be faster than many small calls. If this is on Xbox, though, you'd be better off using the DrawUserPrimitive API and not going through a vertex buffer at all. That may be slightly slower on Windows, but on Xbox it's by far the best way to draw dynamic geometry. ...Show All
