• Visual Studio Team System Testing an outside website and going to an ISA server

  One of our environments (our staging env.) can only be accessed via the Internet. That means if I need to access this site, my request needs to go out through the ISA server on the the Internet to the staging environment. I have no problems recording, but the playback even after I have set the proxy, my id and password is failing. The response header shows: HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. ) Proxy-Authenticate : NTLM,Kerberos,Negotiate Via : 1.1 ISAP01 Pragma : no-cache Cache-Control : no-cache Content-Type : text/ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Declare and Call A Fortran DLL from VB 2005

• Visual Studio Team System How To: Simple Steps to create a Webservice Load test

  I am new to VS2005 and would like to create a load test for our webservice. The webservice must be able to handle simultaneous connections. I followed the steps detailed in: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182557.aspx as a start, but I am missing the connection to move further. The following link takes you to a page which has a number of help links for creating a load test.

• SQL Server Porting IFilters or Wordbreakers from 32-bit to 64-bit SQL 2005

  (repost) We have a custom wordbreaker coded and working in SQL 2000 32-bit, and are trying to get it to work in SQL 2005 64-bit. A simple cross-compile as an IA-64 dll worked with no errors, but getting SQL to load or use the file is proving difficult. To make things worse, the LRTEST.EXE that ships with SQL 2005 32-bit seems to be missing for the 64-bit version of SQL 2005, making diagnostics on any wordbreaker or ifilter next to impossible. The registration and where to put the bits in the registry has obviously changed, and the only clue I could find relating to installing a custom word breaker is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/sh ...Show All

• Visual Basic Out Of Memory Error generating VB.Net Resource File

  Hello all, I am working on a project that requires me to add a large access db file (Data.mdb, Size:500 MB) to a vb.net resource file.

I cannot ask my client to increase his machine memory due to professional reasons. The machine has 512 MB RAM. Much appreciate any help and thanks in advance.. -------------------------------- SB Can I ...Show All

• SQL Server Major SQL Server/SSIS 2005 Performance issue

  SQL Server 2005 is installed on a brand new 64-bit server (Windows 2003 x64 std. Edition, 2.4 Ghz AMD opteron- 2cpu, 8.8 Gb of RAM). There is barely few hundred rows of data scattered among few tables in one database. SQL server and SSIS performace grossly degrades overnight and in the morning everything is slow including the clicking of tool bar selection.It takes 3 seconds to execute a simple select statement against an empty table. It takes15-20 seconds to execute a SSIS package that normally would take 2-3 seconds. But once SQL Server is restarted, everything returns to normal and the performance is good all day and then the ne ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple migration from MySQL to SQL Server Express 2005?

  Normally I'd go and write a bunch of code for doing it manually... But instead of that, maybe there is a smarter way What I know is that you can get some kind of dump out of MySQL but I would be very surprised if that could be directly read into SQL Express So if you have a few step guide to migrate from MySQL to SQL Express, I am all ears (and eyes)! Thanks! (Yes I am aware there is some DTS thingy for this but could not find it in the Express folders) There is no real direct ways to do this that I'm aware of, but I have a few ideas I'll share with the group. While SQL Integration Servic ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Yahoo API

  I would recommend everyone here to also take a look at the Yahoo API.  It is far superior to the MSN API.  You can find it at http://developer.yahoo.net/ First, they actually provide all the searching capability that MSN provides, plus extra functionality like image search.  Second, they have great language support.  Third, they have integration with other sites like Flickr.  Fourth, they are very responsive to bug reports, ideas and even have a great API blog that's very active with their improvements, apps being built, etc. Microsoft has simply dropped the ball with this API.  They delivered a product late ...Show All

• Visual C# Threads problem

  I have moved the call to Renderloop to the form's Shown event and now everything goes as intended - except that it doesn't. As long as I have breakpoints, my time display gets updated, but as soon as I remove the breakpoints it doesn't anymore .... OK, I got my time display running by wrapping all the threading in an outer loop. What happens is that I now let the threads run for one second, at which point the TimeKeeper sets a flag, the threads are aborted and joined, and then recreated again. Simplified code: private void RenderLoop() { TimeKeeper .Start(); timeButton.Text = Calendar .Date() ...Show All
