• Windows Live Developer Forums Map events not firing in Firefox 2

  I just upgraded to Firefox 2. Event though this is still a release candidate ( i know ), the map events are not firing on my app. The events in question are "oncontextmenu" and "onchangeview". These are the ones i use at the moment and so i don't know bout the other events. Will Firefox 2 be supported in the near future A lot of people are already switching, and I have to know what to expect (Question for the VE Team) Thank you. Thanks Marc! It also resolves the onLoadMap event not working bug. Hope the VETeam include the fix for it in the code soon. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 help system is broken

  I have been using VS 2005 happily for 6 months with the help working fine. The help is fully installed with it set not to look online for anything. Now gradually over the past few weeks the help system is failing, now getting to a point where I can't use it. First I was getting "Page cannot be displayed" errors. This has started happening more and more often. It can be fixed by pressing the Refresh button. Now this has started happening on just about every page. The page tab title changes to "Cannot find server", but this is installed help! Now on half the pages I am getting "An error has occurred in the script on this page".

• SQL Server SQL Backups

  SQL 2005 I have a scheduled back up running at 1am everynight which after a few problems is running ok. Can I get it to overwrite the existing nights back up no data has yet to be added to the database as we are still testing yet the back up is doubling in size each night. Not really a SQL specialist this has been dropped on me so go easy on me please Thanks One BIG word of caution here: I would ALWAYS make sure that you have at least one good backup at all times, preferably on another system or offline. If you always use the same filename for backups, and use WITH INIT, as soon as the backup starts, you are without a backup. If for any reason that backup fails (worst case, a crash causi ...Show All

• SQL Server Foreach endless loop

  I'm having a problem where I'm using a Execute SQL Task to retrieve a dataset and storing that in an object variable. Then on success of that execute sql task I use a foreach loop task to go through the dataset and do 2 tasks inside the foreach loop. When I execute this package I have ~12 records in the dataset however when I get to the foreach loop in the 2nd iteration it keeps repeating it. It acts like it is stuck on the second record (tuple) and never goes on. I'm using an ForEach ADO Enumerator in the foreach. I've even set a breakpoint on each iteration and no task fails in side the foreach loop. I'm completely perplexed why it will iterate to the 2nd record but get stuck there in an endless loop. I've tried this on 2 different compu ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Absolute Path to Namespace Extension GUID Path?

  Does anyone know of a way to convert a string (or PIDL for that matter) corresponding to an absolute path to a string containing a path based off of a namespace extension GUID So instead of storing a path like so.... C:\Documents and Settings\skirk\My Documents\SomeDocument.doc I'd instead store it like so... ::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}\SomeDocument.doc I would really like to be able to store references to GUID paths for all the namespace extensions available to a particular user and not just the user's documents folder.
