• Visual Studio Settings to access printer '\\hercules\prtmark01' are not valid

  We recently upgraded our web application to VS.Net 2005 and CR XIr2 from VS.Net 2003 & CR 9.2. We load a report using the ReportDoument class from a UNC path and call the PrintToPrinter method. It works fine on .Net 1.1 & CR 9.2 but with the .Net 2.0 web app & CR XIr2 we get the following error: Exception Details: System.Drawing.Printing.InvalidPrinterException: Settings to access printer '\\hercules\prtmark01' are not valid.

• Windows Networking Development Weird one - Router Death by Vista

  Here's a weird one. It seems that Vista RC2 is routinely killing my ADSL router I have a dual boot system (patched up XP Pro vs Vista RC2). Vista seems to be killing my D-Link DSL-500 like...., several times a day while Vista is running. Has anyone else noticed this I'm thinking.... some sort of weird network plug and play thing (which is disabled - by the way) RickW bb10, Nice try. I tried it and it seemed to work for a few hours. I had really high hopes - the fix sounded attractive intuitively. It has to be something like this. i.e. something Vista is doing differently that the router is not expecting and not handling properly. Any other ideas RickW ...Show All

• Smart Device Development .net compact framework won't install on my mobile 2003 arm pocket pc.

  Error says it isn't compatible with my device. I need this in order to run my most useful software on the pocket pc. The latest revision of my software (myOffice.net) requires the .net compact framework. Any clues why this isn't working More info: toshiba 350, intel PXA255. Thanks. Please, someone respond. Not sure of your specific question. I tried via the desktop as well as thru the msi thru the download from the software company that is using it to run their software.

• Audio and Video Development WMP11 not giving mousemove events in full-screen mode

  WMP11 Beta breaks my application that works well with WMP10. I am using the WMP ActiveX control. I receive Mousemove events in full-screen mode in order to provide a custom control panel that appears when the mouse is moved. This works well with WMP 10, but in WMP11 Beta, I get no mousemove events in full-screen mode. Is this by design (although I can't imagine why), or is this a bug that will be fixed when WMP11 is released I need to know if I should find a way to work around this (no ideas yet) or if it won't be an issue with the release version. Any help on this issue will be much appreciated! Your post belongs here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/defaul ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development HTML tables, the width attribute, CSS, and ASP.NET 2.0

  I recently switched from ASP.NET 1.1 to ASP.NET 2.0. I'm not sure exactly why, but my HTML tables (which are just html tags, not server-side tags), are looking kind of strange. My table layout is as follows: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="white" width="1000" align="center"> <tr><td colspan="3"></td></tr> <tr valign="top" style="padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:15px;"> <td width="205" align="center"></td> <td width="528" align="center"></td> <td width="267"></td> </tr> <tr>& ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 FAVICONS or desktop icons NEED to separate discussion between IE shortcuts or Faviacons or desktop icons as folder links

  I just installed Internet Explorer 7 today, which I guess is a.k.a. Windows Live . All of my fancy customized shortcuts on the desktop disappeared and each got replaced by the same generic windows icon. Right-clicking & changing the icons in properties no longer works. Also, when I create an internet shortcut while browsing, that creates a shortcut with that same generic icon (not even an explorer logo). Now my desktop is just one forest of identical icons. Anyone know how I can fix this I've wasted all day without success. Hi, The favicon implementation has changed to be more effective in IE7. If you revisit the content the favicon should be replaced by the correcte one. Thank ...Show All

• Visual C++ is this the correct/best way to set file size?

  Hello everyone, I have verified that the following approach works to set the size of a file (newly created file) to be 100 bytes, but I am not sure whether it is the correct/best way to have a maximum portability (I need to write code on both Windows and Linux). Could anyone give me any comments [CODE] #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <io.h> #include <stdio.h> int main() { FILE* file = fopen ("foo123", "w+"); fseek (file, 99, SEEK_SET); fprintf (file, "x"); fclose (file); return 0; } [/CODE] thanks in advance, George Thank you Marius!

• Visual Studio Team System Static Data Management

  Hello, This is probably a stupid question, but I'm starting to play around with Data Generation scripts for unit tests in my database project, and I have a query about what I would call static or system data. For example, the data generation scripts take care of user data, but what about tables of types or the equavalent of enums for instance, a UserType table which contained data such as: UserTypeId | Description ---------------------------------- 1 | Standard User 2 | System administrator 3 | Editor Or similar The IDs would have to stay constant thoughout the system, so either I create a deployment script that creates the data or use the data generation tools. If I use a deployment script, will (1) the data ...Show All
