• Windows Live Developer Forums Why are all the pushpins in the SDK demos misplaced?

  I am curious why the pushpins in all of the Interactive SDK samples are not properly handled. As you zoom in and out on the map, the point that the pushpin is pointing to moves. For example, bring up the Interactive SDK and select Use pushpins->Add a default pushpin from the left menu. A pushpin is placed on the map pointing near the northern border of Nebraska. Now zoom out once. The pushpin is now pointing to the center of Nebraska. Zoom out again and the pushpin is in Kansas! The reason is because it is positioning the center of the pushpin image, not the "point". This is easily fixed with CSS styles, which can be embedded in the HTML sample code. The same occurs on all the other samples I have looked at. I am using Firefox ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Controlling auto-increment in identity column in database

  Hi, Is there a simple way to stop the auto-increment in a database relentlessly counting upwards, even when records are deleted I'd like the identity column to be based on the number of records in the database in some (but not necessarily all!) of my tables, if this can't be done through properties, can someone suggest some simple code to achieve this Is it even possible to have an identity column without auto-increment Many Thanks Ok well I took this advice on board and got around the problem another way, my real problem is that I don't know enough (or anything) about sql statements, thanks for the help anyway. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Creating Execution Contexts

  I have a sequential workflow and 3 child activities. Now my goal is to make my workflow execute again from activity 1 when I'm finishin to execute the second activity (return back). What I'm doing to achieve that is overriding the Execute method on my workflow to provide some custom behavior and bind to the Closed event of each workflow. Like this: protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext) { foreach (Activity activity in this.EnabledActivities) { if (activity is ControlFlow.ControlActivity) { ControlActivity controlActivity = (ControlActivity)activity; controlActivity.Closed += new EventHandler<ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs>(controlActiv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding via code database fields to details / page header sections using Full verison?

  Hi there, I have just downloaded a 30 day trial to see if i can build a report dynamically i..e.

Put at (x,y) with color Red of field name (from db) "ClientName" in details section..

• Windows Forms is it normal that linkLabel control reacts extremely slowly

  I tried the LinkLabel solution and it is so slow. I followed the msdn example for LinkLabel here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.linklabel.aspx i get the target page 30 seconds after I click on msn link in that example. Is that normal To let you know my Internet connection is really fast. Thanks if any advices. well I guess it is expected since its a UI control. It probably may have something to do with loading the right assemblies etc... since its a UI control you are trying to load/execute from a dll assembly. You really should have UI controls placed outside of a dll as it makes more sense and is really the practice that should be followed. the Dll's should contain ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Dialog Sheet not showing up

  All, I have a situation where I am upgrading some old Excel files to Excel 2003. One of the files ("Main") calls one of 6 other workbooks depending upon the users selection, cycles through some data, creates a graph, and shows a dialog box (from a dialog sheet on the "Main" workbook) asking if the user wants to continue or various other options. My problem is that with one of the 6 other workbooks ("400"), the dialog box does not show up unless the user physically clicks the Excel "400.xls" button on the taskbar (i.e. the dialog box comes up but is hidden behind the current Excel window). The Dialog sheet (written in Excel 97 or before) as well as all of the VBA code is in the "Main" workbo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug with Vista and InkAnalyzer

  Hello everybody, this is the real Problem of the thread I posted some hours ago. I had problems with painting ink into a Bitmap - I could'nt see any ink. But it was no problem of the painting-prodecure itself - there really was no ink. ;) Before my program draws the ink into the Bitmap it reads the RecognizedString from the used InkAnalyzer. And since Windows Vista this InkAnalyzer works abnormal - it deletes every stroke out of the InkOverlay-Object whenever I call the GetRecognizedString-Method of the InkAnalyzer. This happened not when running under Windows XP. Is this a known bug Or is it a feature ;) Well, no. I guess it's a bug. Is there any workaround beside not using this method anymore Will there be an upda ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Anyone know when the Administrative Guide for V3 is due for release?

  Anyone know when the Administrative Guide for V3 is due for release Thanks Ben It would appear that the version 3 adm file is missing many of the settings that was in the previous version, including your Outlook express settings. I have created myself a custom .ADM file which includes some of the settings from the previous .ADM file however it would appear that version 3 does not like these. Here is my test ADM file, if anyone can confirm that Version 3 still uses the registry keys it would be great.
