• Visual Studio Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration (from MSDN article)

  The article on DSL/GAT integration was great, but where is this "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration" library/service the article talks about I did that, but the only file in the zip was Clarius.GuidanceAutomation.Library.dll. Nowhere can I find: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration.RegisterAsExportable Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration.TargetClass Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration.Editors.ExportedClassEditor or any other items in the "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Integration" namespace. I added just about every assembly under the sun looking for it but it just refuses to be found. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MS WS platform offering: Which one?

  Greetings, Just want to get the pulse of the community about what would drive your choice between the different Web Services solutions available today from MS. I still find this thing a tough choice on every project i am working on. We now have the following: WCF "Pure" ASMX P&P Web Services Factory (which produces ASMX for now) VSTS System designer (ASMX) The key point is about finding the balance between the need for automation/code generation/modeling (ASMX offering) versus power, flexibility and extensibility (WCF) I have to architect an Enterprise solution today based on SOA. I will get very detailed analysis model from the analysts. (They would like us to be able to generate code from that ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creating depth textures and getting back buffer in beta 2?

  Alright, so the API for this is totally different for beta 2. That's fine. But I can't see how you create depth textures now. I'm using them to render shadows. Also, how do you get and restore the back buffer now Do you do something like: RenderTarget2D backBuffer = (RenderTarget2D)device.GetRenderTarget(0); ... device.SetRenderTarget(0, backBuffer); null represents the implicit back buffer (i.e. the one created by the device). So, as previously answered, SetRenderTarget(index, null) will set the render target at that index to the implicit one. In general - Textures (2D, 3D, Cube) are inputs to shaders, RenderTargets (2D or Cube, specifying a face) are potential outputs from shaders. First you set the render target on the device, ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance problem: SSAS 2005 + ProClarity #2

  Hi, I have put up a new question in the last post of "Performance problem.... #1", http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=886733&SiteID=1&mode=1 , so please do review that. (its about hierachy creation) Coming back to the performance problem, I found out that changing the attribute relationship type to Rigid from Flexible only improves processing but not cube access. So please do review my existing cube structure and the performance problem in the first post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=886733&SiteID=1&mode=1 and give me some other best practices/ suggestions to improve the performance. what else can i check, where else can i look to improve the performan ...Show All

• Visual J# Have Exception.Message display Exception.getMessage()

  Hi; When our J# code thows an exception that is derived from java.lang.Exception, then in C# it is a System.Exception and the Exception.Message is "Exception of type 'net.windward.tags.TagException' was thrown." It would be a lot more valuable for us if System.Message was the string returned by TagException.getMessage(). Is there a way to do this thanks - dave Hi, I assume that you want to display System.Exception.get_Message() instead of java.lang.Exception.getMessage(). To acheive this you can Catch exception of type System.Exception and extend your ExceptionClass from System.exception. Sample code: public class Class1 { public static void main( String as[]) { try { i ...Show All

• Visual Basic publisher could not be verified

  I have created a .exe that uses My.Computer.FileSystem and now receive an error "Open File - Security Warning" dialog starting: "The publisher could not be verified." The file is located on a Windows File Server under ADS on a mapped drive. It was created under VB2005 and the .exe was copied using Windows Explorer drag and drop to the mapped drive. If I select to Run the file I get a security error. Same problem happens with new Access MDBs stored on the same file server. I have backed off all the IE zone settings to no avail. MS KB articles have been no help. ADS security properties look like I have permission to run OK. Files (exe and mdb) run fine from the desktop. I'm guessing somehow the file ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) duplex http, persistent connections, callbacks etc

  Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on how best to approach a problem we would like to solve using WCF. Basically the scenario is that we want to be able to push server messages to a browser. In short, we want to try and implment the Bayeux protocol for comet-stlye web applications (http://www.cometd.com/). I already know that I would need a custom encoder to serialize the server messages to javascript packets (this _should_ be easy, and there are plenty of samples to draw from to enable this) However, I believe that I need a custom http transport. In this stlye of application, the client makes a connection to the server, but the server does not release the response: it is available to be written to as events occur on the server. So, when ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet problem

  Hi, I found some really interesting problem and I don't understand it. As you can see in the documentation, DataSet class is a descandant of the IListSource interface. This interface has the System.Collections. IList GetList() member. But if you try to compile this code: DataSet ds=new DataSet(); IList iL= ds.GetList(); you get this error: 'System.Data.DataSet' does not contain a definition for 'GetList' How can this be Hi, GetList is there in DataSet and DataTable. But in DataSet it seems that it has "No access modifier" so it means that will have "internal" default modifier. So that, it can be only accessible to the classes which is in SAME ASSEMB ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help with arrays

  Hi. Im basically new to visual basic and im enjoying it a lot. I have a project for my Computer Programming class. This is what I am trying to do but have no idea to start it, im pretty sure if I understood how to link the array to the if statements and the timer I would be ok. I am trying to make a game where there are 4 circles inside a picture box. When you click start game it goes to level 1 and the circles will flash a color in a randomized order. Once the computer is done making the pattern you will have to click the circles in the same pattern to pass the level. Its basically simon says.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Running SharePoint Server 2007 in a multi domain environment?

  Can anybody suggest a good resource or answer this problem I'm running MOSS 2007 in a multi authenticated and multi domain (separate forests) environment and cannot find any documentation that clearly explains the overall configuration when running within the same MOSS farm. Before anybody asks, the reason for this configuration is that one HR department and upper management team overlooks a number of companies in the same building and at other locations around the world. We have managed to set-up multi authentication providers using both AD and SQL/ASP.NET forms authentication using the standard method of extending web applications, as well as configuring a custom profile connector on the SSP admin site.
