• Visual Studio -Y<username>,<password> Doesn't work

  I am using ss.exe from the command line and I would like to be forced to enter the username and the password. however even if i hard code in -Y<username>,<password> it still acts as if the option was just -Y<username> meaning that it disreguards the password and still prompts for it. I would like to be able to prompt at the beginning of my script for a password and then put that variable in the <password> part myself but at this point I can't even hard code the name and password to get it to work. any ideas thanks. From the ( $variable_for_their_password_they_entered) form it sounds ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Memory Allocation to SD Card to prevent OutOfMemory Excepetion

  Hi, Just a little backround: The memory left of my Pocket PC is about 5MB, however my SD Card has at least 100MB of memory left. Now I try upload an XML file containing about 7 megabytes of Photos Converted to Base 64 (why its part of the requirements) . Now at some point of the code , I get an OutOfMemory error, probably since there is not enough memory buffer for HttpWebRequest. I was wondering if there is a simple configuration in .NET to allow me to allocate memory usage to the SD card as well thanks and regards, espi No, that does not work this way. You need more program memory and storage card only offers storage memory. On des ...Show All

• SQL Server What is this?

  Well, how do you do it   I've not seen any report on this... so could it be next to impossible   Say you have 10 records, 1-10 and you want to insert a new record between record 4 and record 5 in a SQL database, just how do you code it    And oh, each record uses the auto ID increment feature. In the first place, there's no concept of up or down in space, and there's no concept of  'middle' in a relational database. Indeed, the very essence of a relational database is that the physical location of the rows is irrelevant. So you can't talk about 'inserting a record into the middle ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Scalabilty

  Hi, I wish to host Windows Workflows in my ASP.NET application. now my question is if each request to the application creates a workflow runtime i am worried about the performance hit its gonna have. loading and intitializing the workflow runtime everytime for each request will have any latency impact on each request Thanks Raja You only have to init the runtime once per AppDomain. Assuming subsequent requests are serviced by the same AppDomain, you should be ok. Riley ...Show All

• SQL Server Can the SQL Server 2005 be installed on Windows 2003 SP1?

  I recently attempted to install Windows 2003 SP1 on a machine on which someone had previously installed SQL Server 2005.  The build number for the SQL Server 2005 installation is 9.0.1116.  (BTW, which CTP is this build number ) The installation of the service pack seemed to go okay, but I soon got calls from users reporting that they could not log in to the instance.  I investigated, and discovered that the SQL Server service had not started.  We were unable to start the service, and had to remove SP1. This was the message I found in Event Viewer: Event Type: Error Event Source: SQLDUMPER Event Category:&n ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Missing WMCreateWriter in wmvcore.lib

  wmvcore.lib shipped with DirectShow (included in the latest PSDK) doesn't list many functions exported by wmvcore.dll (e.g. WMCreateWriter). Does anybody know the reason for this and where I can obtain wmvcore.lib that matches wmvcore.dll I have code that was working and now it appears that there is no way to compile/link this code. Can you (i.e. MS) just post the import library for now, so that people like myself would be able to at least build our existing code until you sort out this issue BTW, this looks like a blunder on MS' part. How can one forget to ship a library ...Show All
