• .NET Development Problem with 'Oracle client' and 'ODPnetOnly'

  Hi all ! I have both Oracle Client and ODPnetonly on my system. They have their different homes. If the path of Oracle Client (D:\oracle\ora90\BIN) is before the path of ODPnetonly (D:\odpnetonly\bin), then I have a problem. In this case, my web applications (in C#.net) don’t work but my console applications (in C#.net) do. And if I change the path of ODPnetonly before the path of Oracle, then my web-applications work but my console applications don't. So please tell me what is wrong with my system. Is there any problem regarding installation of 'Oracle Client' or ODPnetonly (I installed 'Oracle Client' before the ODPnetonly) Thanks and Regards, Vikas Hi Paul! I checked and found that that the Oracle co ...Show All

• Visual Basic AudioPlayMode WaitToComplete fails

  My .Computer.Audio.Play( "c:\mymusicx.wav" , AudioPlayMode.WaitToComplete) The above works for .wav files where the music is fairly continuous, but when there are quiet gaps (about 6 secs or more) between songs within the same .wav file, the statement exits during the first quiet gap, rather than continuing to the end of the file. (Players like Itunes play the .wav file correctly to the end). I have Visual Studio 2005 v8.0.50720.42 Hoping someone can explain this. According to this, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/se0wyk7t(VS.80).aspx They specify WAV files, explicitly. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP7 CPU Very Busy

  On several occasions Data Dude has stopped responding while using from 50 to 90% of the cpu. It's happened while performing a data compare, while unloading a project or while trying to close a project. Some times I see the error message " Failed to retrieve msbuild property DBProduct from the project file ." Sometimes it comes back, and others it will run for hours if I let it. Has anyone seen this issue before Does this after you made a change in a schema object If you deleted the DAT file what will cause it to get in this state How many objects are there in the project Do you have many objects in an error or warning state -GertD ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies pdf searching

  Any idea when WDS 3 will be able to search pdf files Also as previously mentioned, the list of file extensions to be searched stops at the letter "c". Suggestion: The results window wastes too much space on the header stuff. You have the normal explorer toolbars and then below it toolbars for WDS. This should be minimized as you have done for IE7.

• Visual Studio Bug: MSBuild forbids resetting of properties passed as arguments to any outer instance

  I have noticed some odd behavior with MSBuild and properties that are specified on the command line or in MSBuild tasks. It is (sometimes ) not possible to change the value of such properties declaratively inside a <PropertyGroup> neither is it possible to change them using <CreateProperty>. In both cases the new value is *silently* discarded! Worse, it appears that nested MSBuild instances also inherit the same problem. So if I happened to pass a property to an MSBuild script via the command line then use the <MSBuild> task to launch a nested instance of the interpreter, not only does the property get inherited into its scope when it shouldn't (because it was not specified in the Properties attribute) but I *still* ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office PInvokeStackImbalance caused by Smart Tag and Word 2007 Addin

  I have been getting the following error message when debugging my Word 2007 addin together with a custom application level Smart Tag: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected Message: A call to PInvoke function 'WRDomainSetup!WRDomainSetup.EverettPolicy::GetRequestedRuntimeInfo' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. When I remove the smart tag from the registry, the error goes away. Disabling the smart tag does NOT make the error go away. So I tried simplifying things by generating a clean Word 2007 addin and a clean Smart Tag (that d ...Show All

• SQL Server Native compiler return value: [BC30494] Line is too long

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Events on WPF Grid Container Rows/Columns

  Hello All, I wish to draw a grid (container element) on my WPF window and have some rows and columns (using rowdefinitions and columndefinitions within that). I want to know which cell is the one on which my mouse is currently located and then change its background a little and extract some information stored in that grid cell. The grid cell(s) will be datatemplate(ed) to some DB. Please help me in figuring out what is the best way to do this. I have tried putting mousemove event on the columndefinition and rowdefinitons, but that simply does'nt work (because the sender for the mouse move event is the grid and not the cell). How to overcome this Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Rohit. ...Show All
