• Smart Device Development Smartphone emulator and Windows Media Player 10 - adding songs to the library

  Hi. I am currently developing a media player for smartphone, in C#, using Visual Studio 2005, Windows Media Player 10 SDK, and Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone SDK. For trying my application I use Smartphone emulator for Windows Mobile 5. I have the following problem. I emulate a storage card using folder sharing. But when I use "update library" in Windows Media Player 10, it doesn't collect the music files in the shared folder. During the update process, it repports "n files found", but none is added to the library, and the library remains empty. Otherwise if the files weren't in the Shared Folder (or any subfolde ...Show All

• SQL Server Linked Dimensions

  I'm going for "Analysis Services Error Message of the Week": "The 'root' element at line , column (namespace 'urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-analysis:empty') cannot appear under Envelope/Body/ExecuteResponse/return because the parent already contains a child element, ''. As you can clearly see, what I was trying to do was to add a linked Time dimension into a very simple A/S 2005 cube. This is the error I get when I process the cube. Interestingly, if the solution needs deploying to the sever first, although the deployment step tells me it has worked (and therefore moves on to cube processing), I get a "Deploymen ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing login permissions

  I am trying to set up a secure system and would like some advice on how to do it as it is a bit tricky. The underlying security is Windows Authentication but I need to set various permission levels in the application. What I want to do is to allow users read-only access to a users table. Once they are validated and their permission level is determined, then I want them to be assigned to the role that is set for their permission level. I have looked at Application Roles but when I try to set the role up using the sp_setapprole then I get network errors (odd). There does not seem to be an SP which assigns a user to a role. So I do I go a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DirectX vs. Viewport3D

  Hello, my task is to display a complex part of an engine at the screen. The user must have the possibility to interact with it (hit testing, moving, any coordinate systems etc. ) At first I thought DirectX is an appropriate way to do this. Derive an control, override OnRender and so on. But I saw there is Viewport3D and it looks like to do the same just like a "DirectX-Window", isn't it But the samples (rotating teapot, ...) run very slow and take 100% of cpu. Or is there a way to speed this up (If I look at the samples of managed DirectX SDK these run very fast) Thanks, Eric ...Show All

• Visual Studio Autorun does not work

  I attended the VS/SQL Server 2005 Launch in Dallas on 11/30.  I have been trying to install the software received from this event, but cannot install VS 2005.  When I insert the disk in my dvd/cd nothing happens.  When I double click autorun.bat nothing happens.  I contacted my local support which then directed me to the "event help" and told them of the problem.  A week later I get a new CD for disk 2.  Guess what, same problem.  Called event support again and am told they only report the issues and cannot answer any technical questions.  So, has anyone had this problem   Is it worth the frustrat ...Show All
