• .NET Development Windows 2003 R2 w/ .NET 2.0 (64 bit) won't allow component to load

  Got a stumper here. I have a server running 64 bit Windows Server R2 and it has the .NET 2.0 framework installed (64 bit version). I'm trying to install a .NET 2.0 component used within a website, but when I try to install it, it says I have to have the .NET 1.1 framework installed and aborts. I'm using the same installer I used on a 32 bit version of the same OS. It has only the 32 bit .NET 2.0 framework installed and didn't make a whimper. The company selling the component has no requirement documentation for OS or .NET versions, but they claim the component is .NET 2.0 compliant. Any ideas on how to solve this You are going to have to enable 32 bit apps on iis. You will find a cscript to do ...Show All

• SQL Server Drill to detail in ProClarity

  Hi, This is from a previous post I had put, http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=973310&SiteID=1 ProClarity gives a "Drill-To-Detail" by default. When you click on that it shows the key columns for the fact tables. It uses Drillthrough for this. I tried defining drillthrough actions in ssas 2005, but they come up seperately as actions in proclarity. The "Drill-To-Detail" is still displayed on right-click at proclarity. The actions are working in ssas 2005, but according to the definition, if a drillthrough is executed, if no return columns are specified, then it picks the return columns from the action that resembles similar query target. This does not seem to work for me! if nothi ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to develop divided interface to show 3 forms

  Previously my program in VB6.0, i am using Activex Dockit to divide the Mdi Form interface into 3 parts. meaning that- left frame, center frame, and right frame.

• SQL Server FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS Problem

  I have a column ('ProblemResolution') in a table ('Incident') that holds plain text. I am doing a query against that column and converting the results to XML as follows: Select ProblemResolution From Incident Where RowID = 2 FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS The problem is the XML that is being generated. It appears the XML that is generated is illegal (in some cases) because if I save the resulting XML in a text file and load into Internet Explorer, IE generates errors. Here is the plain text (actually part of it - enough to demo the problem) as stored in the column. The quotes are not stored. "8/11/2006 dabonder - Carol – Thanks for the detail.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quaternions: Get only Z component?

  Can anybody think of a way to get just one axis of rotation (in radians) out of a quaternion There is, of course, a way to create a quaternion using only one axis angle (Quaternion.CreateAxisAngle(Vector3, float)) but what about a way to get that float back I need to know how many radians my object is rotated around the Z-axis.

• Smart Device Development Error C2504: 'CCeSocket' : base class undefined

  I am attempting to port a Smart Device project from a previous version of Visual Studio into a Windows Mobile 5.0 project for PocketPC in Visual Studio 2005. I am getting the error mentioned in the subject where I have a class inheriting from CCeSocket. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a way to fix it This is code that worked just fine in its previous environment. HI, The CCeSocket class has been deprecated in VS 2005 for devices. You should use the CSocket and CAsyncSocket classes for network related functionality. But for a few Wininet flags that aren't supported on devices the programing experience should be the same as that on desktop. Hope this helps. Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Question "Disambiguate a location"

  I couldn't find much on this in SDK documentation... I'm trying to code a function that if there is a match to a searched location the map zooms to that location and a marker with appropriate text is created (this part is easy thanks to the post by CelebT) but I'm struggling to find a work around for cases where more than one match is found. Find(); returns a list of possible matches but the marker is put only on the first location on that list. Is there a way to: 1. stop drawing a marker until the user makes the selection and the map zooms to that location 2. "recycle" the information returned (ie text plus info which location from the list was selected by the user) Thanks Rusty ...Show All

• Visual Basic Detect Changes in External Applications

  Is there any way, using VB.NET 2005, to check for application changes in external programs For example, I am writing a program to guide a person through exporting their address book in Outlook and Outlook Express. I'd like to detect when an appropriate menu is clicked or when a dialog box changes so my program can automatically direct the user to the next step. Is this possible Thanks, ComPro Not really... You might be able to do parts of it with Outlook using the primary interop assemblies, but I don't know if the COM automation of Outlook Express would allow for it. I suppose if you hooked enough Windows APIs you could accomplish this - but it would be quite a task in .Net... I don't know any way of doing it and I've s ...Show All

• SQL Server PackageStart/End Events

  Just finishing of a large ETL system and have aquestion about the following:- We have 164 child packages being called from a single parent package which is setup to perform logging to a SQL Server table. Anything that Errors or has Warnings is logged accordingly, however, how do you trap the PackageStart and PackageEnd events when the child package knows nothing about logging My first thought was to have the Parent call the AddEvent SP with the appropriate values, but thought I may check here in case I missed something In a parent/child package structure I place all my logging in one place - in the parent package. All events (including child package OnPreExecute/OnPostExecute events) "bubble-up" to the parent package ...Show All
