• Visual Studio Team System MS ACT

  Hi, I was recommended MS ACT (application center test) to test a deployment of CRM 3.0. I've installed VS 2003 on a development machine and am now trying to connect to the CRM 3.0 application on another server. When I try to record a new test with 'start recording', IE opens up a blank window. Standard behaviour yes, however I fail to connect to the CRM application due the proxy settings being encorporated into the IIS browser being opened.

When I disable this proxy setting, it can connect to my CRM application, h ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Problem with CWnd::RunModalLoop(DWORD dwFlags) in wincore.cpp

  Hello, We have created a VC++ application that has 2 menu options. - submenu 1 opens the VBA IDE - submenu 2 opens a Modal Dialog to execute a functionality (say FUNC1) Whenever we directly select submenu 2 the application executes properly. But the application hangs whenever we select submenu 1 (opening the VBA IDE) and then select submenu 2 (having the VBA IDE still open) On debugging we find that in the problematic case (in which the application hangs), the control fails to come out of an infinite loop inside the mfc source code wincore.cpp The details of the code flow are given below for this problematic ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Child Table Problem using byte[] DataRelation

  I have two DataGridViews where one shows a parent table, and the other shows child rows for a selected row in the parent table.  I am using a DataRelation object hooked into a DataSet to establish the relationship.  The problem that I'm having is when the DataColumns defined in the DataRelation are of type byte[], the relationship no longer works.  Meaning, the child table will not show the child rows corresponding to the selected parent row.  This works fine if the DataColumn types are string, int, etc.  Does anyone know what could be causing this two break down for byte[]   Here's a block of cod ...Show All

• Visual C# Generic Collections with Events?

  Hi, I am trying to make a tabbed control of my own. It's for a text editor and since the default one doesn't have the close button or a nice litle overflow menu like mine does now, I needed to make my own. I have an implementation now, but I am not very happy with it. What I would love to be able to do is have something like the default TabbedControl, where you can do mTabControl.TabPages.Add(key, tabpage); I am trying to use Generics so I dont have to do casts every 2 seconds, but the Dictionary<> class does not have any events. Can someone point me in the right direction here Cheers, Aditya I w ...Show All

• Visual Basic how do I access Picture URLs in my database?

  I am using VB Express windows application, how do I access Picture filenames (relative) in my database I have 13 records in which the last coloumn contains those relative picture filenames. I wish to display the pictures that those locations in a picture box on my form. As a filename is simply a string. I'm unclear on what you really want to do here. Are you saying you have filenames in a database and the actual picture are stored in file locations relative to the location of the database. So if the database was in c:\ and you have a path that if folder\xyz\abc.jpg then you want to retrieve the picture from c:\folder\xyz\abc.jpg ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I serially send characters that have an ASCII value over 127?

  I have been working with the new "SerialPort" tool provided with .NET Framework 2005 through VB. As an example, I am trying to send the following string, Chr(2) & Chr(152) & Chr(0) & Chr(3). However it keeps replacing Chr(152) with a Chr(63) (3F-a questionmark). I have tried changing the encoding to Unicode or UTF8 but that adds other characters that I don't want. The example provided is just a sample of what I may have to send. Some strings are 70 characters or more in length and could be virtually any combination of characters. How do I send the exact string I have constructed. I have done many applications using the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Packaging a DirectX Game

  Hi, I've recently started programming using DirectX and C#. I created a game and it runs fine on my development machine (.Net 1.1,  DX SDK). But when I compile the game for a release, and move it onto a machine that only has the DirectX runtimes, it fails to find any of the neccessary libraries and will not start. I've tried telling to to "include resources" when it compiles, in which case it copies a bunch of .dll's to the release directory, but that still wont work on regular machines. It works fine on any machine that has the SDK installed. The regular machines are all running Dx9.0c and .Net 1.1. Any idea how to package a release ...Show All

• Visual Basic User session logon time!

  I am inquiring about information on whether it is possible to determine how long a user has been logged on for. What I hope to accomplish is to determine if a user has been logged on for more than an 24 hours and if so, display a splash screen of some type to tell them to log off. I don't want to log them off, politics involved. Every where I look I haven't been able to come up with a solution. I did find a sample script to check event logs, but how do you calculate the time the event was written and the actual time to determine if it is more than 24 hrs. Can anyone offer any help. No problem. I don' ...Show All
