• SQL Server New Data Source showing only default instance

  I have two instances in SQL on my machine. When creating a New Data Source in BIDS, I can only see the default instance. I have checked the SAC manager to make sure the second instance allows remote connections and the setting are exactly the same as the default. Any ideas Thanks. I checked the Config Mgr and the port number was blank for the second instance. When I changed the port number to the same as the first instance, I was unable to restart the second instance until I removed the port number. Should I use a different # ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to get the filename into the "Insert Picture" dialogue?

  Our company written a marco that used in MS Words and it as same as the "insert -> picture -> from file" dialogue, but we want to enhance it to get the filename automatically when the dialogue box is opened to instead of blank. Hi, Looks like the built-in dialog does not take a initial filename argument. You can change the folder using, Options.DefaultFilePath(wdPicturesPath) = "C:\" Instead try the Filedialog object. Dim dlgFile As FileDialog Set dlgFile = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) With dlgFile .Filters.Add "Images", "*.bmp; *.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg", 1 .InitialFileName = "c:\temp\happy" .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewThu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Texture trouble

  Greetings, programs. I'm having an odd problem rendering a simple bitmap to the screen. I've got a 256x256 texture that I'm trying to render onto a 1024x768 screen. I've got 4 vertices to make the two triangles that make up my screen rectangle. I lock the texture and fill it with differently colored horizontal stripes, then present it to the screen When I use D3DFVF_XYZ coords in windowed mode, it shows up perfectly. When I use D3DFVF_XYZ coords in fullscreen mode, or use D3DFVF_XYZRHW coords in either windowed OR fullscreen mode, it looks like this: Link to a screenshot. Note the diagonal tear. Any ideas on where I should look for the source of the problem I've checked the values of my vertices and tu/tv values, and al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to install and use C# in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express?

  Hi, I'm trying to open an existing Visual Studio solution (.sln file) in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. I don't know which flavour of Visual Studio 2005 the solution was created by (Express, Professional, Team Suite, etc). The project contains both C# files (.cs) and ASP.NET files (.aspx). I've downloaded and installed both VS Web Developer 2005 Express and VS C# 2005 Express. The Express edition of VS Web Developer should handle C# source, but the VWD and VC# run as separate IDEs. In VWD's About box (and start-up splash screen) there is only one installed product: Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005. How do I install VC# into VWD so I can open a .sln which contains both ASP.NET Server files and C# files When I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How flexible/forgiving is the WF XOML loader?

  Context We are adding an "extractor" component to a WF-based modeler suite that will programmatically create XOML *files* that will be then loaded into our WF modeler. A key issue will be version control between the XOML created by extractor and the WF modeler. We don't expect the activity namespaces and names to change nor their hierarchical relationships (sequentual workflow model). However, we do expect the properties/attributes for each activity to be vary over time as the extractor is enhanced somewhat independently from the WF modeler. Questions 1. What happens if WF is asked to load a XOML that has a) missing attributes for an activity b) extra attributes for an activity Michael. For the latt ...Show All
