• Windows Forms Pass Path to OpenFileDialog

  Is there a way to pass a path to the OpenFileDialog everytime the dialog is shown I tried the InitialDirectory but that works the first time (obviously) but if I change the path, the open dialog goes back to the last opened directory. Thanks, Greg I tried that and I don't see any difference since it just still opens the dialog back to the last opened position. I have a tree node with a list of vendors. Each vendor has a specific source path for their files. So when I go to the first vendor and open the dialog, it goes to the initialdirectory folder which is fine. However, if I go to another vendor who has a different path for the source, then when I open the dialog, it opens the dialog to the la ...Show All

• Windows Forms OTP: windows login

  Hello, is there any other means of authentication for the windows login... like inserting a compact flash or flopy. i am looking for a hardware input solution to windows login authentication. This forum is for questions on programming windows Forms. Hardware based questions are off topic. However, a Microsoft finger print reader can be used to log in, so long as your PC does not participate in a network ( which tells you how secure they are ). My notebook asks me if I want to use a smart key when I log in ( I have no idea what that is, try google ). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook task item maximum size

  How can I find the maximum size limit for the body and contact in outlook task item I am trying to save all the fields(subject, body, due date, start date, etc) entered in outlook task into the database. In order to create a table with columns to hold these field values, I need to know the maximum length/size for each field but I couldn't find this information anywhere. Any help will be greatly appreciated! ymjoo2007 There is no set limit on the message body. For other standard text fields, like Subject, the Outlook object model can return 255 characters, although more can actually be stored and lower-level APIs can return longer values (so whether you're using the Outlo ...Show All

• SQL Server Reinstall Sql Server Express After Developer Edition

  I had to uninstall SQl Server 2005 Developer Edition because of hardware requirements, and reinstall Express Edition download version. But SQL Server Database Services fails with this message: SQL Server Setup has determined that the following account properties are not specified: 'AGTACCOUNT' . Error Code: 28006. The first time I installed Express the flow of setup ended well without any message. How to act Mike, Thanks for attention. When I installed Dev Ed, I provided no user account for Sql Server Agent. Perhaps the default was used and I don't know it. I don't know if I'm installing to the default Named Instance. I think I am, because I don't provide any Named Instan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Deserialization [DataContract] using an ORM

  I would like to deserialize an object (say Name --> (first,middle,last) ) in an ORM. The class, Name, is in an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) [namely NEO; similar to nhibernate]. Using DataContractSerializer does not allow me a means to create a relationship with the underlying Database easily. I couldderive from XmlObjectSerializer and process the incoming stream from there. I would then create the appropriate object context to the database entity. However, that seems a little messy and cumbersome. After all, I just need to create the initial object (Name) with the appropriate database context and then let the data serializer do the rest. In the above way I would have to do ALL the work. Second, I have many objects so using a s ...Show All

• .NET Development DNS name of server is resolved only once

  I have a client application in .NET 1.1, that is used from intranet (LAN) and form Internet. The remoting server is specified as DNS name (like in form server.company.com). This DNS (A record) is resolved to some private address (like 192.168.1.100) when client is used within LAN, and to a public address (like 88.127.2.65) when used from outside. Physicaly it leads to the very same server machine. Everything works fine, except for this scenario: 1-start client in LAN, works, 2-make notebook sleep, 3-wake it up at public net (or at home), 4-client still runs, but connection to server does not work I have found (using netstat) that the client after step "4" continues to connect to old IP address, that has been obtained in ste ...Show All

  I'm using VFP9.0 SP1. I have a CSV file which contains Japanese Characters. I have change the language to Japanese of my Window XP. The problem is; I created a temp dbf to contain the CSV data, I used "append from csvfilename type CSV" to append record to this dbf, but those Japanese characters became special characters.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. low fps

  i'm confused about fps in my programme. i draw 200 textured triangles in 640x480 window but get only approximately 160 fps. it's strange but when i zoom out from triangles fps growth momentally, but when i close... PreferMultiSampling = false ; SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = false ; RenderState.DepthBufferWriteEnable = false ; (i need it coz, ill render triangles with transparent textures) i use DrawIndexPrimitives, i.e. useing vertex and index buffer. any ideas how to increase fps Even though it's running pretty fast right now, I would suggest moving your VertexPositionColor declarations outside of your Draw code. Each time you call Draw, you're rebuilding the exact same thing; you only need to do ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to capture a termination signal?

  I apologize if this is not the right forum. It seems the most appropriate. I have a win32 app that runs in the background. I want to detect when it is requested to close. On *nix platforms I can do this by capturing the termination signal. But I have noticed in the documentation that windows only supports a few signals and termination is not one of them. So how do I detect if the program is closing because the user has logged out of the session Thanks Brian hello Brian, I would use Hook in this situation, see MSDN for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/hooks/usinghooks.asp I'd also recommend you to post this ...Show All

• SQL Server Integration Services and Teradata as source

  Hi All, Please let me know whether we can use Teradata as Source in SSIS (Target is SQL Server 2005). ie. Do we have oledb driver for NCR Teradata to connect to it. Our SSIS will be hosted in 64 bit SQL, but for development we use 32 bit. Any inputs is really appreciated. Regards, kart There are various ways to conneto to Teradata. Their OleDB provider supports both 32 and 64 bit. They also have a new .NET provider, though I'm not sure how good it works with SSIS. iWay has also Teradata providers (OleDB, ODBC) which could be used. One thing to note here is that Teradata providers do not support Commands, though they support tables and views. As a workaround, some of our users use linked server in SQL 2005 and got the C ...Show All
