• .NET Development how to create .xml file using SQL query (SQL Server 2000)

  i'm using a datawarehouse from which i need to pickup huge data and show it using a grid on a web page. my thought is to create an .xml file suing SQL query and then create a dataset from the XML file and then bind it to a datagrid do any one have any better(best) approach for this   What format is the data in the warehouse If you can pull it out using a standard ADO.Net provider, then you can push that directly into a dataset for binding. Another question to think about: Why do you need huge data in a grid Maybe just a subset of the data that is relevant to the current display is all you need ...Show All

• Visual Studio Extending the "Add Reference" Dialog

  Hello Everybody, we currently try to add a new dialog-page to the "Add Reference" dialog, using C# and managed code. We've implemented the IVsComponentSelectorProvider interface in our custom package and our own page also occures in the dialog. Unfortunately, the Add-button doesn't get activated. There is a sample in the msdn, called "Extending the Add Reference Dialog (C++)", which describes the procedure of how to add a new page to the dialog, but for unmanaged code. We adopted this for C#, but the next steps are quite unclear. So how we can catch the event from the Add-button, how do we activate the Add-button and how we have to design the interaction between our custom page and the "Add Reference" dialo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office working with different office and word object libraries

  I am writing an application that should be able to automate Word and Outlook. Currently I have Office 2000 installed on my PC, therefore I do have only the Office/Word Object Library 9 installed. I can't install Office 2000/XP/2003 and 2007 on my PC, but there should be a solution becaus this seems to me as a very common problem, every application that communicates with Office should be able to do this with different versions., So how kann I write code that references different libraris Can I downloard the object libraries and install them side by side or what Or will my application be able to work with higher version of office even if I only reference version 9, if I reduce the code to rather simple things that are supported ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Process Hook Failed when using the Profiler

  I am trying to run the VS 2005 Team Suite Profiler on our WPF app but I can't get it to start. I tried using both the IDE and the command line tools but I get a "Process Hook Failed" error. This also happens with the sample app after following instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182398(VS.80).aspx so I am thinking it's not specific to our app. In the Output window of VS, I see this - Profiler started Successfully attached to process: 4132 Exited from process: 4132 Collection file exited: C:\DOTNET\peopletrax\CS\PeopleTrax\PeopleTrax061214.vsp Profiler exited PRF0025: No data was collected. ===================== Profiling Complete ===================== I am using XP Pro OS.

• Visual Basic Compiled app failing in InitializeComponent

  I have created a WinForms application that runs fine in Debug mode, but when I deploy it to a server, it fails when it executes InitializeComponent while loading its first form. How do you debug something like this Winforms Err.Number and Err.Description are not VB.Net errors They are VBA, VB, or VB.Script style errors I believe. So this error is probably comming from a VB based Com object that the application is attempting to initialize. Thats my guess anyway. Ibrahim ...Show All

• Smart Device Development ftp client in vb.net

  I am trying to compose a simple ftp client for ce 4 How do your structure the "internetopen" internetconnect" and "ftpgetfile" commands, can't seem to find any examples on the net. Anyone got any samples or no were they live. Many thanks, Mark MSDN link is not broken. As for C++ vs VB - you need to use P/Invoke to call these functions from VB.NET. This is relatively easy since no complex data structures are involved. This thread has some sample code in VB. But you might find it easier to use FTP class offered as a part of OpenNETCF SDF library , although it does not use WinInet calls ...Show All

• SQL Server Event Handler Refresh

  I am current using Event Handlers in an SSIS package, but when adding a new EventHandler type eg. OnPreExecute, to an executable within the package, I am unable to see this new EventHandler defined in the hierarchical listing on the left hand combo box (named Executables). Can't seem to find a Refresh option anywhere. I've only been able to see these newly created EventHandlers in the hierarchical listing by closing and re-opening the package. Is this a 'feature' or am I missing a Refresh option somewhere. Thanks. Hi Jamie, I have checked the scope and I am not looking in the incorrect place. I wasn't not looking in Package Explorer though, but in the Executables drop-down box on the Event ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Batch interferes with Depth Buffer?

  I have a few 3D models which render just fine. However, whenever I use a SpriteBatch to draw some sprite elements, the Depth Buffer seems to go all wonky. As a result, my sprites render just fine, but the models no longer render correctly (appears to be a depth buffer issue because visible models are the ones drawn last). Is there an obvious reason this is happening I understand the frustration of repeated questions.  I certainly didn't intend to add one. But it happens to the best and worst of us (I fall in that range somewhere).  The longer I am doing this and the more I read each day, the more I will know and won't need to ask how to find something.  I think part of my problem&nbs ...Show All

• Visual C++ Call vb .dll from C++

  Hello all; A little background - I am what you might call an intermediate programmer in vb, and a beginner in C++ (currently taking a college course). I looked at forms for C++ and found them to be either really difficult, or really foreign - perhaps a combination of the two. At any rate, I want to create a program (it has to be in C++), but use a vb form as the GUI, since I am much more familiar with it. I assume that you can create a form, compile it as a .dll, and use it withing C++. I'm a little confused, however, with how to handle the form events. The problem is that, with C++, I am accustomed to using a cout statement as a blocking call while waiting for operator response. Without it, C++ code simply runs to the end of ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to make the save and exit buttons visually exactly the same

  Good mourning from Seville (Spain), I would like to know which is the best way to do two buttons exactly equals. The same size and separation between them, and i want it to be easy to drop in all my forms (more than 30...). Thanks in advance. Put them in a UserControl, then drop that control on each form. Better yet, design a base form with those two buttons, then derive all your other forms from that base form with Project + Add New Item, Inherited Form. ...Show All

• 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. This code works for me on Firefox 1.5 and 2. I put it in a wrapper page with the only change being using getElementById instead of $ on the third line as I didn't have scriptaculous handy and I added a last close bracket that was missing in the sample: <!DO ...Show All
