• Smart Device Development Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)

  I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts ...Show All

• SQL Server New Guy Question 2: SQL on-the-fly at package runtime?

  Here I go again...thanks for your patience... I'm trying to create a single, all-purpose SSIS package that would move data from a source database table to a matching target database table. The requirement is to create the package such that the SQL statement used by SSIS could be supplied at runtime. This would allow a single package to be used for different SQL statements, representing different tables, rows and columns, etc. as needed. The data movement combinations are highly variable, so I'm hoping to find a flexible one-size-fits-all solution with a single package. I've looked at setting up a string variable for the SQL statement, and p ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Making Background for a 3D game

  Hello guys, I'm making a 3D game...well with a static CAMERA view...it would be in SPACE...and there's no movement on Z buffer, though its 3D. But I would like to ask you for some suggestions how I should implement background stuff into this. Well, presently I am doing it like: I create a mesh(QUAD) in 3ds max and implement it into game as a sprite and set its Z position so it is further than other objects. But the problem is that I would like to have it USER-changeable - I mean...User can toggle between FullScreen/ windowed and switch resolutions and some other Dx stuff - so there is the problem. I suppose, it would be better ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I may have found a way (Excel to Form Controls) but one problem...

  I just coded a functionality in my program that with a click of a button pulls up Excel, takes all values as strings and populates the spreadsheet in a particular format, with column names, and even makes a line chart out of two column's data. This was pretty hard to find out how to do but after fits and starts it finally works great. My question now is... I'd like to go in the reverse direction - to open a particular spreadsheet (which will be created new daily and saved to a default folder; with studies of stock market picks, stocks, trade ideas and so on) and bring that data back into my form, back into the original place it came from, ...Show All

• .NET Development Is Microsoft serious about serialization?

  I've been working through a serialization model have been stumbling over many semingly simple serialization problems that lead me to believe that Microsoft is not serious about serialization. There does not appear to be a unified model or methodology to the serialization within .Net. For example, the latest problem I hit is that the System.Windows.Forms.Padding structure is not serializable. Why is it that Microsoft did not tag this seemingly simple structure with the Serializable attribute Is there some criteria Microsoft uses to decide what is serializable and what is not Another example is the inconsistency of the formatters. They are s ...Show All

• Windows Forms TreeListViewItem Check

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 can't be added Active Directory, but the documentation says it can.

  Hi, I've installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard Edition. Before I install SQL Server 2005, I've configured Windows to be an domain controller with Active Directory. As the documentation said that using Object Explorer and then selecting Properties, I have the property page of Server Properties. But I still can't find the Active Directory page. When I try to run the system stored procedure sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP, I can't either register or update. Is this an error or bug Using SQL Server 2000, I can easily add it to Active Directory. Now I can't do it in 2005 version. Please help! Eriawan ...Show All

• .NET Development JIT Debugging VS2005 beta 2 on Windows Server 2003 X64

  I installed the VS2005 Beta 2 on a fresh installation of Windows Server 2003 X64 and all is OK apart from JIT debugging. Even DebugBreak()  just kills the application. Native JIT is enabled in VS 2005 debugger options. Any ideas Thanks Yes, that works for me as well. I can only assume that there is some kind of security setting that is preventing my app tripping the JIT Debugger. It is running as a child of an ISAPI extension running in its own IIS Application Pool. Neither the Application Pool or the child will do the DebugBreak yet the ID they are both running under is a member of Administrators. I h ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems building samples from Platform SDK

  I have installed the "Microsoft Platform SDK" and followed Brian Johnson's instructions ( http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx ) to enable it to be used with "Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2", successfully (hooray!).
