Visual C++ COM DLL, regsvr32 and manifest - blech!
I have a COM DLL that relies on MSVCR80.dll and when I try to register it with regsvr32.exe I get a "loadlibrary failed -2147220473" error. If I create a regsvr32.exe.manifest file and place it with regsvr32.exe, then it works. There has to be a better solution though. I can't count on target PCs having regsvr32.exe.manifest installed (and I'd rather not install it if possible). Hi Keith, Went through your post at msdn blogs. I too have been working on Vista and tried to embed a manifest into a com dll using rc.exe but it dint have any effect and was not able to perform admin tasks, though i suceeded when i tried to embed a manifest into an exe i succeeded and the exe was performing ad ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Tracking Query returns null
I have update the Workflow Foundation from the Beta 2.2 to the RC1. In the RC1 there is no "SharedConnectionWorkflowService" anymore. It is called "SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitBatchService" now. So I changed that. Since that I get an error in following code statements: SqlTrackingQuery sqlTrackingQuery = new SqlTrackingQuery (ConnectionStringWorkflowService); SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance sqlTrackingInstance; sqlTrackingQuery.TryGetWorkflow(e.WorkflowInstance.InstanceId, out sqlTrackingInstance); The method "TryGetWorkflow" doesnt populate the SqlTrackingInstance. It is being null. Before changing the Shared Connection Service it worked. Any suggestions, where the problem may be Thanks ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What's the Story with Background Music?
Is background music something that's not supposed to be a part of XNAGSE ...or are we meant to use XacT to accomplish this It seems to me, using WAV files for BGM is like using your screwdriver as a hammer, which would suggest it wasn't part of the plan. Background music has a way of breathing life into a game. It would be a shame if it weren't feasible. Thanks, that's huge, that helps a lot. So, after playing with XACT for a while I figured most of it out. Now, if I wanted music to stream and sound FX to load into memory, I would need two separate sound banks and two sets of 'AudioEngine' objects for my XNA project, is that correct Because as I see it, either the entire soundbank streams data, or the entire soundbank is ...Show All

Smart Device Development Socket.BeginRecieve Mystery
Hi, I am working with the sample code for Asynchronous Clients: Asynchronous Server Socket Example My Server platform is WinCE 5.0 CF2. When I connect the first time and pass a string. It works as expected. When I connect again with a second instance, The Socket.BeginRecieve call gets made, but the actual Call back never occurs. So, I see a connection occur, but a second socket and thread do not appear to get fired off. I see Waiting for connection.... Over and over again.... This appears to be a bug. Near identical code worked fine on CF1.1 DGMQS I have looked at the above code and added the client portion as well. The program seems to run fine on PPC 2003 and WM 5.0 PPC with NETCF 2.0 SP1. Below is the program: ...Show All
SQL Server What is Best way to Count the number of records in a table - Sql Server 2005
I have a table with 54 million records But it take lot of time when i am using Count(*) or Count (ColumnName). What is best way to Count the records in Sql server 2005 Regards Vasanth Lets clarify a few points. count(1) and count(field) are different as count only counts non null values Secondly there is a lot more cached than just plans. Data initially resides on disk and then is read into memory when used by a query. If a subsequent query then needs the data it can be read from memory and not disk. This is one of the biggest optimisations that you get with a database engine. Finally if you want a dirty count you can use sp_spaceused or directly from sys.partitions. Note these are approximate values. ...Show All
