• .NET Development Enterprise Services performance problem

  Hi   I have a three tier application, developed with .Net 2.0 beta 2. Business facade layer: web services; Business logic layer: COM+ (Enterprise Services); Data access layer: ADO 2.0, SQL Server 2005, no dynamic queries; Database: stored procedures;   The performance should be acceptable for 30 concurrent users. But it is not. The memory used by IIS is about 200 Mb (quite acceptable). After 20-30 min of stress the application fails with this message:     'New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor'   I'm pretty s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions webbrowser taking focus

  I'm using the webbrowser to navigate to an intranet site to check for new tasks assigned to me.  If the page has changed since the last visit, a message will be displayed. In between checking, the form is to be hidden.  The problem is that even if there is no change (hence, no new requests), whatever I'm currenty working on loses focus. I've tried keeping the form with the webbrowser minimized, disabled and hidden.  But no matter, whenever the site is navagated, the form is displayed as normal. So I need to either prevent the form from displaying after navigation is complete, or find out what application just had focus, ...Show All

• Visual J# Any good Add-Ins for VS 2005/J#?

  Hi; In the java world I use IntelliJ and in the C# world I use Visual Studio wit ReSharper & nunitaddin. Is there anything like this for VS 2005/J# ReSharper flat-out does not work with J# (they officially don't support it and most of it's features are turned off in J#). And nunitaddin does not understand J# (for a main()) or junit. And Visual Studio doesn't come close to having the features found in ReSharper & nunitaddin. Anythinf out there I feel like I'm back in the dark ages of IDEs. thanks - dave Hi Dave, If you drop me a line through my blog (http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/contact.aspx), I'll see what I can do about a ...Show All

• SQL Server AdventureWorks\AdventureWorksDW question

  I thought that all data in AdventureWorksDW came from the OLTP AdventureWorks database. But....then I looked at DimTime table in "DW". I doubt that level of detail exists in the OLTP database.

• Windows Forms DataGridView Image Columns

  I have been pulling my hair out on this one and decided it was time to post it here after Googling for countless hours without finding an answer to my problem. I have a simple databound datagridview that I am trying to display an image on a cell by cell basis based on the cell value (stop, started, finished) etc.. The values are int values and so far I have been able to get it to work but I have noticed lots of flickering while using the grid and lots of mismatched images being displayed for the underlying cell value. Any help would be much appreciated... private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting( object sender, DataGridViewCellFo ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLCLR no Database projects in VS2005 projects list -?

  I'm wondering if something went awry when I installed VS2005 B2 standard edition, or do I need to download and install a different version   I did the full install except for J# and mobile tools, if that makes any difference. If I need some other version of VS2005, which one   I'm using XP SP2 and SQL 2005 B2 Developer Edition.  I have MSDN subscription, so downloading another version is acceptable (but a pain). Thanks in advance for any advice! Thanks, Niels.  I should've remembered that... we probably talked about it at Guerilla SQL 2005.  Thaks for the link to your blog ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CancellationHandlerActivity

  Hi together, I have just tried the Simple State Machine Workflow example which comes with the workflow foundation help. Now I have seen in the initial state an event driven activity which contains a CancellationHandlerActivity. But I didn't find that item in my Visual Studio IDE Toolbox. How can I get that item in my toolbox or do I have to implement that by myself in the code Cheers, Franz Hi Franz, The CancellationHandlerActivity can be added/viewed by right-clicking on the activity and selecting "View Cancel Handler." This is the same for FaultHandlers, CompensationHandlers, and some others ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Tier installation

  Hi, We have successfully been able to install TFS-Beta2 on a single-server installation. We have now received a separate DB server and wish to move the data-tier over. Apart from that it's not officially supported, is there anyone who can give me hints on how it is done ! BTW: here are some interesting things that I successfully tried - regards GENERAL SETUP of TFS: 1) Install WSS in Web-Farm mode and use setup the WSS dbs on the SQL 2005 server after it has been installed. this way, you don't need the MSDE 2000 installation 2) a windows 2000 domain is sufficient! no need for a win2k3 native domain 3) before installing any TFS components, ma ...Show All

• Visual C++ Header file incompatibility causes compiler errors

  The following source code causes numerous compiler errors in msxml.h: #define version 438 #include <afx.h> Naming the variable something other than 'version' makes the errors go away. This suggests an error in macro definitions in one of MS's header files. MS makes it difficult wrote: I agree that the "const int" way you suggest is better than the "#define" way, in this case. However, the MS developers should not be allowing their definitions to be visible. They can accomplish this in the same way as you suggested! It's not a definition - he said it conflicted ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Documentation Missing...??

  I have installed Visual Studio 2005 standard edition. Every thing works ok except for the documentation item. When I choose the documentation item from the start menu I get a page that has links for "How to install help for Visual Studio" and "Visual Studio 2005 Combined Help Collection". When I click the first link it says to put the install CD in and choose to install product documentation but there is no such option on the install CD. When I click the second link there is a line at the bottom of the page like this...."Collections available for inclusion in VSCC:" but there is nothing there and the update VSCC button is disabled.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation in directX

  I'm DirectX begginer, trying to animate flying bird. I'm exporting the bird object from 3d max8. I don't undestand if animation is done by DirectX (and how), or I have to do it in 3d max before export to DirectX. Normally the bird's wings will be animated in max and then you'd use that animation track in your program. The movement of the bird will be done programmatically. (This is not the only way, but it's a reasonable way to do this.) If you're not able to create an animated bird in max (and I can't tell you how), and you still want it to flap its wings, you'd have to fudge it some other way, suc ...Show All
