Software Development for Windows Vista "Error when enlisting in a distributed transaction"
Hi, I'm getting the above error when I set the transaction attribute of my component class to 'required'. It works well when set to 'supported' and I've read through all the related posts here (I think) and elsewhere. They all seem to lead to the conclusion that firewall is enabled between the client and the server. Can you hold your patience and see if my case is any different, 'cause windows firewall is turned off in both the server and the client machines here. I checked to see that MSDTC is configured to allow network DTC access, inbound and outbound, 'Incoming caller authentication required', running as 'NetworkService' on both ma ...Show All

Smart Device Development C++/CLI?
I distinctly remember being told that it would be possible in VS2005 to use C++ to develop using the .NET CF. I can't find any way to create such a project however. What gives You sure can use C++, but native only.

Hello all, i think this is pretty easy question for you, but i have no idea how i can do it.

Windows Forms How to guarantee modelessness in .NET Form in Class Library?
In VB6, the App.NonModalAllowed property would tell you whether you could show a modeless form or not. The docs for .NET say... "No equivalent. This was a read-only property related to ActiveX .dll files. The .NET common language runtime automatically manages this behavior." ...which does not explain what is happening. I'm guessing that the clr shows the form as modal if non-modal is not supported. I have a .NET class library which has one primary form which absolutely must be shown non-modal. My library is used in many different development environments over which I have no control. How can I always show as modeless regar ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System How To: Connect to 2 different TFS Servers
My Add existing Team project button just locks up on Beta3 Refresh Any idea why I have one server connected and it seems to be working ok. Jeff I just figured out that the Add Team Project button locks up because of a multi-monitor bug. For whatever reason when I have two monitors (even thought I am only using the primary one for this) active the dialog is nowhere to be found. After killing VS and turning off the second monitor the dialog shows up. Jeff ...Show All

SQL Server how to change data types in Excel source file?
I'm getting a bit lost in SSIS. I've got an Excel source file that I'm trying to load into a table. I keep getting validation errors that warn about not being able to convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types. I'm trying figure out where I have to change this and am frankly confused. It seems SSIS is selecting various columns as unicode/WSTR data types, but I want them to import as regular string types. On the Data Flow tab in SSIS, I right-click on the source Data Flow component (the Excel file) and select Show Advanced Editor. Then on the last tab, Input and Output Properties, there's a tree view for the Excel output. There ...Show All
