• Visual C++ Owner drawn CListCtrl items too spaced out on Win2K (picture).

  Hello all, my owner-drawn CListCtrl is having problem on Win2K system, its items are too spaced out only on Windows 2000. This is not happening on Windows XP systems. Please take a look at the following image: http://psychopotato.com/temporary/clistctrl.png It might be due to the different behaviors of MFC controls on these different operating systems. Will I be able to override this behavior and make them look the same I have tried to intercept and process LVM_GETITEMRECT and LVM_GETITEMSPACING (I'm deriving a class from CListCtrl ) but they did not help. Is there anything else I'm lacking Thanks in advance for any help! Regards, Ben. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper. And based on the searches that I have done in Google and in these forums, I'm beginning to think there is something fundamental I missing based on the small number of responses to this problem. My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects. I understand that this is because MSBuild does not support them, but I am flabbergasted by this fact. What use is a build system that does not create the fundamental deployment deliverable Obv ...Show All

• .NET Development Error with serialPort class

  I'm having problems with configuring my serial port object. I'm trying to communicate with a PIC18F458 and I have declared my serial port in the program as: serialPort = new System.IO.Ports.SerialPort("COM1", 19230); But when I run the code, I keep getting the error: A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.IOException' occurred in System.dll And when I display the error message, I get this: Error: The parameter is incorrect.

• SQL Server some guidance for an SSIS newbie wanted

  Hi! I'm new to SSIS (and quite new to SQL Server). I have a process which I'd like to automize via SSIS - just don't know how and couldn't figure it out yet by playing around with the program. Shouldn't be too difficult though. First of all, that's the process as I do it now: 1) Load several flatfile sources (dumps of SQL tables) into an SQL database. 2) Add identifier rows (to some tables), set the primary and foreign keys so the database is "recreated" and I can work on it. 3) Do several simple transformations, aggregations and selects across tables and finally write a new table containing information for reporting stuff.

• SQL Server Statements to recover database with encrypted data

  Hi, To backup and restore a database with encrypted data to another system, what does one need to do in TSQL It's no problem to back up and restore it, but I need the TSQL statements to backup/restore the database keys and regenerate info so that the destination server is able to decrypt just like the main server.

We use MSDE for our locally running ASP/COM app. Occasionally we will install MSDE (SP3a) and we will get this: [SQL Server][ConnectionOpen())]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

• Visual Studio Crystal reports XI R2 and Visual Studio 2005 issues

  Has anyone got this error after updating (fresh install) to Crystal Reports XI R2 with reports in Visual Studio 2005 I am posting here because I am not sure if it is a Crystal reports XI R2 bug or a Visual Studios 2005 problem. I thought it might be that my programming was wrong so I tried the samples that come with R2. If anything these should work since the people who developed the software wrote the examples. Even the examples gave me these same errors. Custom Tool is CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator I have these refernces: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine - v2.0.50526 CrystalDecisions.Enterpris ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Charts in AVALON

  Hello everybody. I’m very beginner in this avalon world. I’m trying to discover if it’s possible to build charts using xaml (pieCharts, barCharts, etc…). Do you know if this is possible . If so, could you send me any url to get some training documentation. Thanks a lot in advance. It is definitely possible. WPF (Avalon) is a great platform for doing charts. There are no existing chart controls or documentation specific to creating chart controls that I know of yet. I would recommend reading in the SDK specifically reading about how to do databinding, data conversion, element binding. Here is the databinding overview i ...Show All
