• SQL Server HTTP Endpoint Can't Authenticate

  I have setup SQL 2005 Apr CTP on a Windows 2003 SP1 system and created an endpoint. I can access it just fine, logged in as any user with connect priviledges granted to them, but only on the computer that is running SQL 2005. If I try to access the endpoint from any other computer system in the same domain (I have tried several) it just keeps prompting me for login credentials over and over again. The endpoints are enabled and started. Any ideas on what I need to do so I can access the web service from a remote computer Thank you in advance. Changing from 'INTEGRATED' to 'NTLM' also help me solving the problem consuming ...Show All

• Visual C# How to prevent a form from being activated/gaining focus.

  I'm working on a project where I want to be able to click on a form but not have the form keep focus. Although not what I'm working on at the moment but the Windows On Screen Keyboard is a good example. The OSK when clicked on doesn't take focus, but keeps the focus on the control that had the focus before. It does this but still is able to proccess an onclick event and send the keystroke over to the control that has focus. I'm needing to do something similar. I've tried overriding the onActivate method but it seems by then the form has already taken focus. Any help is appreciated. You might be able to do s ...Show All

• Windows Forms OpenFileDialog -- file display order?

  In the OpenFileDialog, there is a way to choose the order, in which files are displayed. It's the "View Menu", and my particular need at the moment is the "Details" option, Sort By Date. Is there any way to convince the OpenFileDialog control to come up in this configuration Or, at least, in the "Details" display mode Mine always comes up in the "List" mode. Thanks! There's no stored setting for this (as in for all file dialogs), and there isn't a reliable programmatic way to set the lists settings to be anything in particular. You could try using the SendKey ...Show All

• Visual Studio Error enabling LAN service

  I am trying to enable the LAN service for my test database and I always get this error: There was an error installing or starting the LAN service on this machine. The error returned by Windows is: The specified service has been marked for deletion. Hi Neo, Can you try a manual registration of the service - open a command prompt window from the context of a user with Administrator rights. - go to VSS install folder and locate the SSService.exe program. - run "SSService /install" to register the service (that should create the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SSService registry key) - run "net start SSServic ...Show All

• SQL Server Fit dataset on one page

  Hey guys, Let's assume I have dataset with two columns (A,B) and it has 100 records. I'd like to split this dataset on the same page with 25 records in every column. Side by side. Example: ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB ColA ColB 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec 25 rec What should I use and what properties I have to play with Thanks. Just a quick drop answer: - I asume regular column format does not work for you because you want  balanced columns and RS gives you unbalanced ones. - I asume you have a static format= always 100 records, always 25 records/column, or alike.

• Visual C++ Visual C++ compiles much slower on dual core processor

  The Background:  I recently upgraded from a 2GHz AMD Athlon machine to a 3.2GHz Pentium D dual core processor, thinking that my Visual C++ (.NET 2003) compile times would decrease significantly.  In fact, it went the other way round.  One of my library projects requires 11 minutes to compile on the AMD machine, but takes 25 minutes on the dual core machine.  My entire set of projects compiles in about 4 hours on the AMD machine, but in 8.5 hours on the dual core.  The same slowdown occurs with the .NET 2002 version and VC6.  I am awaiting delivery of Visual Studio .NET 2005 (apparently Progra ...Show All

• .NET Development Conting the number of decimals (variant of the Math.Round utility)?

  I would like to count the number of decimals (i.e. number of digits below the fractional comma/point) in a double value. I can think of many (dirty & not culture safe) ways of doing this, but I am looking for a reliable solution. Does anyone has a solution to this problem Thanks in advance, Joannes I'm the development owner of Double. Since Double is internally base 2 rather than base 10, any attempt to count the decimals will be imprecise, so the techniques in the previous post are about your best option. However, this won't work reliabily for more than about 12 digits. If accuracy matter, I recommend ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing data in a DataSet

  Hello all, ADO is very new to me, so I hope this question doesn't seem too simple. If anybody can recommend a good ADO book or tutorial that would be great. I am using C# Express and SQL Express. I've been able to connect to my database, use a TableAdapter to get access to it, and fill a DataSet with a query from the TableAdapter. My question is, how can I get access to the the rows and columns in my DataSet I know how to "databind" them to a form control, but I'm trying to just get them into variables. For example, if my table looks like this: int myAlbumsID (primary key, isIdentity=yes) varchar[50] albumName ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Thread safety and graphics device

  I am experiencing errors in the form of a locked application when I have a device (with two backbuffers) in one thread which i use for rendering while another thread attempts to lock and read the other backbuffer. I get no error. The application just freezes on the call to getBackBuffer. I attempt to lock buffer 1 while rendering into buffer 0. How is the graphics device working in relation to threads Can you work on a buffer while rendering I was hoping to render in a thread while reading previously rendered data in another thread. I believe you have created a deadlock because the back buffers are c ...Show All
