• Software Development for Windows Vista Actitvation

      Had a problem with Activation had to call it in and they gave me a ID # Then I was told it is only activated for 30 days Whats up with that. The last one was 120 days. How are we to test it in 30days   Hi autodoc, er... I think if you have a not valid 40 digits code you can get a valid one from the toll free telephone of Microsoft. Firstly you try to activate your product online when it fails to activate try activation via telephone. Vista will provide you a 40 digits code that you have to give to the Microsoft telephone operator, then he will provide you a valid 40 digi ...Show All

  Is there an easy way to test web service calls without coding a client app Thx. --- Baq.

• Windows Forms Can I adjust the width of Child columns?

  I have adjusted column width of the parent columns using TableStyles/GridColumnStyles but these do not effect the width of the child columns. They need to be different widths from each other. (ie: "Description" wider then "Part #") Any suggestions  (vb7, DataGrid) I figured it out myself, works great. You can use the TableStyle Editor in&n ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Anonymous Interface Implementations

  Now that we have anonymous methods and anonymous types, how about extending this with anonymous interface implementations in C# The actual scenario I am thinking of is for WPF code. As discussed by John Gossman back at the PDC in his talk on writing Microsoft Expression, you can data bind your buttons etc. to IComand typed properties of your data objects. The end result is that your data objects look something like, public class MyTextEditingModel { public bool IsTextSelected { get {...}} public void MakeTextBold() {...} public void MakeTextItalic() {...} public void MakeTextUnderline() {...} public ICommand BoldCommand { ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer does not auto-create a link from a parent work item to related work items.

  When creating a related work item in Team Explorer a link is not created on the parent work item to the child work item.  Consider the following example: Create a scenario called 'Test Scenario' - e.g. ID=1. Create a related work item (task) for this new scenario by right mouse-clicking on this scenario from one of the query windows. A new task is created named 'Related to work item 1 - Test Scenario'. - e.g. ID=2 If I click on the 'Links' tab on the parent work item (ID=1) I do not see a link to this new related task(ID=2).  (I do, however, see a link from the child(ID=2) to the parent ...Show All

• Visual Basic Including data files in "Click Once" deployment

  Hi all, I have an application that uses one of 9 different data files dependending on the application requirements at any given time. How do I include these files in the deployment file in the correct directory so the program can find them. Thanks Dick Hi David, I really , really appreciate this reply.

• SQL Server Am I missing something???

  So I'm using the new Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (aka Enterprise Manager)... 1. So I load it up, add a few sql servers to it. Mess around, close it, open it again and lo and behold it didn't bother to keep any of my settings or any of the SQL Servers that I had added and anoyingly asks me for login information to add another one.  Unless I'm missing something, you just threw out one of the best parts of Enterprise Manager. Please someone tell me how to fix this so that it works the way it should. (and someone else, i.e. Microsoft, make it the default behaviour to add and save any sql servers and bring them up the next time, t ...Show All

• .NET Development Visual Web Designer Quetsion

  I think I posted this in the incorrect thread before: Gang, I was wondering if someone could lend some help. I'm using Visual Web Designer and been following different tutorials. I'm stuck now with a turorial trying to edit data within a grid view. Here's the deal- I created a database called db_DataAccess and a table called tbl_Members. Then I dragged a gridview control and setup my sqlDataConnection and it displays all the data correctly. So at this point everything is okay. The next step within the tutorial is to edit and delete records. It says to use the smart tag to "configure the data source", w ...Show All

• .NET Development Why does ArrayList not have a Get(int index) method??!

  Hi there, Why does ArrayList not have a Get(int index) method Java's version does and this is exactly what I need because I want to pick out certain objects in the list and make a new list from them. It seems silly that it doesn't. Using Enumerators is fine if you want to go through the whole list. But I want to look at individual objects in the list at random places. Is there another List class that I can use or another way I can do this Thanks, Chris Most collections in .NET work like this, with some kind of indexer property. It's a much nicer syntax over a get/set method when you get used to it. ...Show All

• SQL Server ODB Datareader time columns

  I am using an ODBC Datareader to connect to a proprietary DB (Epex) and I need help on column mappings. The Epex database has a number of time columns which we successfully imported using SQL 2000 DTS by defining these as varchar(5) . When using SSIS (Service Pack 1) these fields are shown as 'eight-byte signed integer [DT_I8] '. I have attempted to these columns to both [DT_WSTR] and [DT_STR]' without success. I can change the External Column type to [DT_WSTR] but I am unable to alter the Output Coulmns, when doing so I get the following error message: Error at Data Flow Task [DataReader Source [1]]: The data type of output ...Show All

• SQL Server Workflow using SSIS?

  I know this is quite an open and large question but, would it be possible to use SSIS to implement workflow for an application. For example, take a document management application, if user X creates a order document then user Y needs authorize it. Or is this type of application workflow better implemented using SqlServer notification services I know I should read the BOL but I was just trying to do a quick poll see what you all thought.

  Any examples out there to test web services that require a client-side certificate using https I created the tests on my local machine without ssl and now am trying to enhance them for our larger test system. Can't record as we are using Smart Client WinForms.  Actually, the problem migh not be the certificate but how to add a FormPostParameter with Username and password. Is this the same in Smart Client forms as in IE Thanks, Burkhard WebTestRequest class has a Certificates collection that you can put client-side certs in.
