• Smart Device Development Platform Builder error 126

  I am getting error 126 when I try to load my VS2005 Winmobile App from the desktop in Platform Builder. The same App targeted for Smartphone Emulator works fine in the VS2005 emulator. I suspect there is some mfc dll missing on my target. Is there a tool I can use to give me more detail on dlls that fail to load I'm not sure if there is any tool around to help you. In your error message, you wouls have got something like "DEVICE!CreateDevice: couldn't load 'xyz.dll' -- error 126 ". The dll it points to is most likely the culprit. This issue is vaguely similar to http://groups.google.com.sg/group/microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder/browse_thread/thread/13b64073c0bb904a/5adef741d126a319%2 ...Show All

• Visual C# Understanding best use of config files for Web Applications

  Hi, Web Applications use the web.config file however they do not seem to allow me to add extra parameters that I need. (Note: The extra parameters do not always relate to the normal items stored in this config file) For example, I would like to add something similar to the following: <myUniqueConfigSettings> <add name="MyUniqueSettings" myUniqueSettingString="blah; blah;"> </myUniqueConfigSettings> Is this possible Or do I have to create my own separate config file for such items and read from that Thanks in advance Andrew The web.config file works just like a normal application configuration file.

• SQL Server disappearing data

  I am not sure where to put this but correct me if i'm in the wrong forum. I've been working on this database for some time now. It's an Access 2003 database with a SQL backend. Everything was going well until one of the users noticed her data was disappearing after she send an email. The database has a memo field that gets pasted in the body of an email when it is created. Sometimes, when the user sends an email and goes back into the record, the memo field is blank. I know the field has data in it at the time of the email because it will give you an error if the field is null and you won't be able to send it. And, it goes into a history table with everything the user does with each record. I've checked this history table an ...Show All
