• Smart Device Development WebResponse Close call takes excessive time to finish.

  I'm currently seeing a WebResponse.Close() call "hang" running CF2 from VS.NET Beta 2 running on a standard Pocket PC 2003 SE emulator. The HTTP request is being made against a Live365-based audio streamer (MP3 streamer) and the code below hangs every time I run it. The stream it is opening is thus very large and is binary rather than textual - but in the example code below I don't even read any of that stream. The code does not hang under full .NET running on my XP box. Can anyone suggest a solution or workaround for this Thanks Stuart Code is: string inputURL = "http://216.235.81.3:20012" ; WebResponse response = null ; Uri myUri = new Uri (inputURL, UriKind .Absolute); WebRequest req = ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Applying label to contents of another label?

  Let me try and explain what I am trying to do: I want to automate some db build-related scripts so I can get the required version for doing a build to our Dev, QA and Prod environments. All my source is on the same branch. I have the following labels applied at various stages after builds: Label_Dev_1 Status: Pass Label_Dev_2 Status: Pass Label_Dev_3 Status: Fail Now I'd like to get the source for to do a build on QA. I'd like the latest 'Pass'ed version so I look at the labels and download the script versions under the Dev_2 version. All this is simple. Now what I want to do is label the contents of Dev_2 as QA_1. In other words, getting by either label should result in identical sources. How can I create a new label based on the cont ...Show All

• SQL Server XML Source - Generated XSD or XML Problem?

  Trouble with using the XML Source Adapter and generated XSD. The XML source is from a file. The XML file that, due to its origin I can not modify, has the following on each line (I've formatted it for readability): < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > <Merge ActionType="M">     <OldID>23677451</OldID>     <NewID>25116562</NewID> </Merge> They are messages from a queue. That's it, very simple. Is something wrong with its structure I'm not a message guy and this is what I have to work with. So far, 6GB worth. I'm testing with a file containing the single XML example shown above. The SSIS generated XSD from this XML file is: < xml version="1.0" > <xs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom editor in VS 2005 using embedded Visio 2003 Drawing Control

  Hi, I am attempting to create a custom editor integrated with VS 2005 in C#. The editor will use the Visio 2003 Drawing control (which is an ActiveX control) embedded into it. I ran the VS Integration Project wizard, selected a custom editor as an option, chose an extension type, generated my project, and then modified the generated code to use the drawing control instead of the RichTextEditor. If we open up only one document in the solution everything works as it is supposed to. We can load a Visio document, catch the events from the drawing control, and interact with it without problems. If another document in the solution is opened up along side of it (new instance of the editor and the drawing control) it too works ...Show All

  hi everyone!! I have the following problem! For my project I need a SerialPort Object for communication via Infrared! But I always get a RuntimeError when I set the StopBits to None! Does anyone know how to solve this problem Thanks is advance StopBits.None is not valid for any serial device that uses the standard Windows drivers. The DCB structure (used by SerialPort) only allows one, one and a half and two. From where I sit, it was a mistake to include it in the enumeration. ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Programming->Structure

  HI why we can't initialize the variable inside the structure. Because field initializers are effectively moved to a contructor, but you can't have a parameterless constructor in structs. You can define an explicit constructor with parameters and put the initialization code there. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development UserOps again...

  Has anyone successfully prevented default handlers for e.g. skip next, pause, etc My programming doesn't seem to keep the default handlers from being called: var VK_SKIP_NEXT = 0xC7, VK_SKIP_PREV = 0xC8; function handleEvent(evt) { switch (evt.key) { case VK_SKIP_NEXT, VK_SKIP_PREV: stop Event (evt); } } function stopEvent(evt) { evt.stopPropagation(); evt.preventDefault(); } application.addEventListener("controller_key_up", stopEvent, false); application.addEventListener("controller_key_down", handleEvent, false); I tried this just now (using Peter's fix) and I am getting errors from the HD-XA1 but the Sonic Simulator is running it fine...Peter...if it's ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista 5308 refuses to activate. Any way to retrieve files?

  We upgraded a windows XP machine (non-domain) to Vista 5308 recently. Upon trying to activate we kept getting an activation error 0x8007000 "Data is invalid". It only once came up with an option to activate by phone. However when the form came up, the activation codes that normally appear for you to read to the automated system were blank. We had forgotten about the issue for a few weeks as other development issues had taken precedence. Upon revisiting the machine yesterday, it had said that we had to activate, the period was over. We attempted to activate again and received the same error. "Data is invalid". There is some data on this machine that we would definitely like to get off of it. We went to install XP in p ...Show All

• SQL Server Restrict report builder access to Report Execution Timeout

  I am setting up the SQL2005 reporting service to let users build their own reports on the web. I'll provide them with pre-built report models. We have concern with SQL database performance by allowing users to execute huge reports. The problem that I have is: If I give the users permissions to build report they'll have access to the report's Properties | Execution page, which allows them to disable the report execution timeout. Is there a way for me to allow them build reports while restrict them to access the report execution timeout settings Please advise. Many thanks.
