• Visual Studio Tools for Office WebService and VSTO

  Dear Experts, We are using VSTO 2003 to populate Excel worksheets with data coming from WebLogic WebServices. If we use the WebLogic WebServices on the same VSTO development pc, then we do not have any problem. But if we use the WebLogic WebServices on a different machine (within the company intranet via https://...) than the VSTO development pc, then we get the following error message when we attempt to get data from the WebService The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized xxx. Hopefully I explained my problem clearly. Sample of the code follows ... myWebService my_ws = new myWebService(); // Originally the myWebService.Url is pointing to the localhost; i.e., dev pc my_ws.Url = "https://..." ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Why is </td> filtert?

  I noticed in my HTMLcode that when i use a tablecode, the </td> tag is filtert! I think this is very strange as a common tablecode would be: <table><tbody><tr><td>content</td></tr></tbody></table> After publishing it shows: <table><tbody><tr><td>content</tr></tbody></table> Is there any good reason for this I can't imagine there are any safety issues for that tag. And what will happen if this changes again, as we experience the filtert HTML changes from time to time and we don't understand the reason for some of it (for instance the target="_blank" wich was filtert before and can be used again now!!!)(finally....) ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Sum of hours using select statement & VBA

  Hi - ok here is my question: I have an activity recording form that records hours logged against a company. I have added a field called 'sumactivityhours' to the table and the form.  what i would like to do is when a user selects a company from the drop down list (thanks derek and duck thing for your fantastic help with that problem) it automatically populates the 'sumactivityhours' field with the total number of hours worked thus far with that company  so that the user can see the total hours and then writes that information into the 'sumactivityhours' field in the table. as i gradually begin to learn a little more about VBA im guessing that i should create an on exit event on the companyname combo box that re ...Show All

  From the feature list of Media Foundation on http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/t_d_migrating_from_directshow_to_media_foundation__cyor.asp we can find in section "Media tasks" that Feature group Feature Media Foundation DirectShow Media tasks DVD playback and navigation No Yes That means MF is not going to support DVD.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Outlook 2007 Form Region Question

  i want to create a new form region. On MSDN it says "If you specify a value of ReplaceAll for the <formRegionType> tag, the form region will replace the entire form, resulting in a new form for a derived message class." this is what i want. I do not want to tamper with the actual Contacts form itself. Rather I want to create a new form which derives from the Contacts form. However I cannot find any more documentation on how to do this. Is it possible to get the code from the voice mail demo which is shown here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788695.aspx . This demo seems to do what I want to achieve. Any pointers much appreciated. I got stuck on this too - the key on th ...Show All

• SQL Server Clustered constraint v clustered index

  I inherited a database where the designer uses unique clustered constraints instead of indexes for primary keys. Now as far as I can make out, there is no performance issue because it is clustered. My question is, why only create a unique clustered constraint instead of a unique clustered index My thinking is that a primary key should be ceated as an index rather than a constraint. Does it matter Hi Kenster. A unique clustered constraint, a unique clustered index, and a primary key are all really different objects/types. A primary key is a constraint, so when you create a primary key, you'll end up with a primary key constraint to enforce it...a primary key uses a special unique constraint beh ...Show All

• Community Chat Virtual Intelligence, AI

  People we need to talk about this. When people talk about this, they say its based on storing and retriving information. The learning process for the computer would be to save as much information as possible from its interactions with the environment. But when I think about this, I feel its a restriction to learning. Consider this, when we are small adding two numbers 2 and 3, would be done on fingers or on a peace of paper. But when we grow up we dont use the fingers or paper. So my point is: The input(add 2 and 3) remains the same, also the output(5) remains the same. So where did the process of learning go. Thus, I would suggest that a machine should not only learn and save in information, it should also learn to proce ...Show All
