• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista and viewing streaming video crash

  I am not positive this is the correct area to post this. I am having an issue watching streaming video using IE7 and WMP 11. The video is MLB.TV and it causes the computer to restart without an error message, is this due to lack of support or something else entirely Thank you for your help. I ended up having to do a complete reinstall. I think the problem was stemming from trying to install MLB.TV Mosaic, or at least thats what I think now. It was either a result with the .Net Framework 1.1 or something with not installing something correctly. After the reinstall and avoiding reinstalling MLB Mosaic I am able to view MLB.TV without a problem and stream internet radio. ...Show All

• SQL Server Slowly Changing Dimension "Wizard". Is it bobbins?

  On the face of it, the Slowly Changing Wizard seems a great idea, but is it really any good in the longer term After you have selected your Type 1 and/or Type 2 changing columns ... then you have "customised" the generated data flow and carefully saved it ... how do you change the column definitions in the future If I want to add another column and make it Type 2 how do I go about it If I run the "Wizard" doesn't this just destroy all my previous customisation work I have tried looking in the .dtsx xml file ... hmmm. I notice it's not really editable without some inside information. All those magic numbers in there ... I've fallen foul of them in the past with cut/paste or trying to INSERT a data flow task on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Another Problem

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks The code Dim ckBox As CheckBox = sender ckBox.checked = Not ckBox.Checked makes an infinite loop, but now i know how to use sender which should be very useful, thank ...Show All

• Architecture Multi-tiered enterprise application

  I am trying to get my head around multi tiered web apps in the .net world. In the java world, the tiers can be separated neatly into Web Tier (say Apache)->remotely accesses Middle Tier App server (say weblogic) which implements code which calls the data tier->Data Tier In the windows world, IIS can be the web tier but I cant find the middle tier. I read about enterprise services, but that requires inheriting from a COM interface which is something I dont want to do. Is there a pure .NET component app server out there Any tutorials on creating middle tier pure .NET components I also read about IIS hosting web services and have implemented a couple.. But I want my web app to be able to remotely call components on a s ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Lack of "go to" functionality in WF

  I understand that there is no built-in functionality that allows the workflow to jump from one activity to another one up or down the stream... This seems to be a serious flaw in the whole WF framework... Any comments from the esteemed readers will be appreciated.... That is true of the SequentialWorkflow model - but not of the StateMachineWorkflow model - with a Statemachine you can transition back and forth between different states as many times as you'd like. ...Show All

You can Detach the database in Management Studio by right clicking on the database. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Sample: MSN AddIn - Text to Speech

  A very simple sample of a msn addin. It uses the Microsoft Speech API to read incoming messages for you. The addin needs to be strong named and added to the global assembly cach. Same goes for the COM wrapper class for sapi.dll Generate the COM wrapper object for sapi.dll. Instead of just adding a com reference to it use tlbimp.exe and generate it yourself using the .snk file you've used to sign the addin tlbimp.exe /keyfile:”c:\my path\keyfile.snk” sapi.dll gacutil /i SpeechLib.dll Add a reference in your project to SpeechLib.dll The addin: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.Messenger; using SpeechLib; namespace MsnAddin { public class SpeechTest: IMessengerAddIn { private Messeng ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build result not showing in the Builds Report

  i have stopped getting new entries in my reports, even though they appear in the list of builds. I've only added a task to create a directory & make a dummy exec call to do a "dir"... Build still succeeds... Hi Buck, RE: Timer. Thanks. At least now I know how it works & it explains the behaviour etc. Unfortunate about the failed builds etc. RE: Builds...I actually found that link & am in the process of doing the actual build. One of the issues I have is obviously getting the last build number. I was stuck for where to get this info from, so reverted to my old habit of creating a file to manage it. It's not ideal, and since TFS already knows this, it'd save me a lot ...Show All
