  hi.. this is my first post here, and i hope i'll get a beneficial answer from anyone. u see i've got a space in MSN and when i tried adding photos a window poped up and asked me to accept installing Photo upload tool inorder to have the ability to upload pictures to my space.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Changes to the forum (a little long, sorry)

  Greetings All, I’ve been hanging out on these forums for a little over a year now and it’s been really fun to see the number of interactions grow along the way. So many of you have stepped up to help fellow coders and ISVs on both technical and business-related questions and it’s great to see happen. That said, I need to share some changes with all of you… including a little background on why they came about. While VBA is not going away in the foreseeable future, the VBA team is now focused on new technologies: VSTO and VSTA . [NOTE: Microsoft has partnered with Summit Software to provide businesses with VBA support going forward.] Up to this point, we were able to tap into an underutilized sup ...Show All

• SQL Server Address field problem.

  I have a number of text boxes (one on top of the other) to display the addresses in my report. I have Address_name, Address1, Address2, Address_city, Address_State, Address_PostalCode - Each with its own text box except for the city, state, and postal code for which I just combined the fields. However, I have many who do not have any data for Address2 and don't want an empty line in the address. Is there an expression I can use to display the next line or move/shift up the remaining parts of the address Would the iif and isnothing expressions be helpful, and if so, how do I write it correctly Len gives you then length of the object you pass in. In this case, if the Address2 is NULL or an empty string, Len ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Referencing components.....

  I was wondering whether it is possible to reference a namespace (which contains some components). I know that it is possible if it put that in a sperate dll ( xmlns:MyNamespace = " clr-namespace:MyNamespace;assembly=Namespace " ) but I would like to reference a namespace that I have in the same project (Maybe sth like xmlns:MyNameSpace = " clr-namespace:MyNamespace " ) AFAIK, you cannot do it, you should put it in a seperate dll.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to programmatically get UAC settings?

  I need to determine whether the "UAC: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation" setting has been disabled by the user. One method is to read the value of EnableInstallerDetection from HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Is it possible to get this UAC setting any other way I've noticed there are new entries in the TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS, such as TokenUIAccess, TokeElevationType, etc. Does anybody know what they mean Thank you. That registry key looks like it might be your best bet. Just out of curiousity, why would you ever want to query whether InstallerDetection was enabled or not ...Show All

  Hi, Is it possible to remove core.js from the pages that are rendered by MOSS. This file is 270Kb and is delaying the first access to the website In our scenario this file is needed only on the authoring environment, not on the public website.
