• Windows Forms unsafe bitmap

  This pertains to image processing.  In c, I am used to using a char pointer to an image buffer.  I would index through the buffer and set pixel color, etc.  In c#, we use Bitmap.SetPixel(x, y, color).

• Visual C++ OLE Automation Error

  Hi Everyone, I have a COM object that is displaying an OLE Automation Error 0x8000FFFF Catastrophic Failure every now and then. Do you have any suggestions on how to debug it, and how can I catch the error so when I get this error I can exit it gracefully. I want to set an alert to SMS that the application has gone down, but with the dialog, the program doesn't actually exit until the alert displays and OK is selected. Thanks in advance, Julie. Do you have the source of the COM Project Be sure that you have matching pdb files created for the COM control. Just launch the program to repro the error.

• SQL Server Directly editing data in results pane with SQL 2005 Management Studio

  In SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager, one was able to edit and commit data on-the-fly directly from the results pane.  Action->Open Table->Query with the SQL Pane shown gives you an interface similar to Query Analyzer.  One could write a complex select statement with where clauses and joins, and the results pane would show the resulting data.  The data is editable and instantly updated.  We are now planning to migrate to SQL 2005 , and so will need the same capabilities that were availiable from its predecessor.  I believe there to be an option/configuration setting or panel in Management Studio that would expose thi ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB works in 2k, Not in 2k3 - Experts please help!

  Hi!  I am no VB programmer whatsoever... but I manage around 15 Citrix Metaframe XPE servers currently running 2k. I publish office apps and a few small proprietary applications and have to do a reboot every night of all the servers and have a group policy startup/shutdown script that applies to that active directory group to clean out all of the users profiles except for the important administator, default user, all users, etc.  This has worked fine with no hitch for years but we will be upgrading to 2k3 next weekend and I have a test 2k3 box installed with citrix in the same group and this script no longer works.&n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista State machine workflow design questions

  I have a few starter questions here. Pardon my ignorance as I come upto speed on some of these. Also let me know if any of these are really off the mark and if I gotto rethink some of our requirements: I would like to be able to compose a state m/c WF dynamically... I presume it would be a validation error to not to have the ‘TargetStateName’ property on a SetState activity set...I am just trying to imagine if one just (dynamically) composes a state machine workflow with a couple of State activities leaving out the state transitions given that they anyway would be determined/changed dynamically. If this is a no-no then I guess ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting the Control that had focus before the currently focused Control?

  Hi all, If I have a GotFocus() event on a Control, is there anyway I can find out what the last Control was that had Focus() before the current Control (which now has the Focus()) I hope I have clarified myself clear enough, if not I will expand on it. Thanks Tryst I assume this is all on a single windows form. If so, and this is not elegant, create a class (form) level variable "Private ctlLastFocus As Control" and set this to the control that loses focus on the LostFocus event of each control. For example: Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can/Will beta 2 SCC/WI data be preserved in the GA release

  OK, we're interested in starting to use beta 2 for our next big project, however I need to know if the data we create using beta 2 can be preserved (or at least migrated) in the GA release Does the "go live" license apply to TFS too Dave We haven't been dogfooding it for 2+ year - It's been about 8 months :)  A converter from SourceSafe has been planned from the beginning as you suggest and is available in the Beta. The issue of migrating from build to build has been on the radar for a long time - it's just that it's a tricky problem to solve while the schema is still so much in flux (and it was at the time we snapped the sou ...Show All
