• Software Development for Windows Vista Journaling hooks on Vista?

  Along with a lot of other people, I've noticed that attempts to set the journalling hooks ( WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK, WH_JOURNALRECORD) get knocked back with access denied on CTP 5270. Is this down to the new Vista security policies Hi again, I've tried something else. If I put 2 of the UAC-Policies on disable, VisualTest works fine, even the ScenarioRecorder works!! The 2 Policies I disabled are: - UAC: Run all administrators in Admin... - UAC: Switch to the secure desktop .... I'm still searching if I could make it work without any changes in the policies, but using a manifest-file for mtrun.exe. Any ideas ! ...Show All

• Windows Forms dataadapter does not update a Database (using VS 2005)

  I've created a windows form with some fields automatically binded by the VS and created the command buttons to change the data, using the TableBindingSource to make the changes to the dataset, and so the dataadapter.update(table) to make it reflect on my database, but i'm having a problem. I can Delete or change records, but when i'm inserting a new one, it goes to the Dataset but does not to the data base. here goes the part of code: note: before it, i've called TclientsBindingSource.addnew() which cleans my form and creates a new row in my datagrid .... so when the user fill in the form and Press Save it calls the code bellow.

• .NET Development RowChanged when navigating

  Hi to all, I have a form with many controls (text boxes, combos, etc.). I can navigate the records in the DataTable using a navigator. To my surprise, when I just navigate (previous, next and so on) the RowChanged and ColumnChanging (etc) events fired themselves. Of course, when, at some point, I check DataSet.HasChanges it is True. If I remember well Net 1.1, the DataSet didn't change just navigating the records. I'm using VB express (Net 2.0) and have this behavior. Can somebody explain this to me Many thanks and bye Hi, I think the problem is solved by now. What I think was the cause of the pro ...Show All

• .NET Development Create virtual com port in C#?

  I'm working on a project where I am reading from a com port to receive data from a GPS receiver. I can do this without any problems except for one. There is also another application that wants to read from the com port at the same time. I know there are com port splitters that I could use but I'd rather not have to use any 3rd party software. Is anyone aware of any way of emulating a com port so that I can point the other application to this port and have it read the data that I am spitting it Thanks, Brady I don’t believe that this is possible to emulate a com port through the SerialPort class. The only op ...Show All

• SQL Server Basic authentication.

  The documentation for Analysis Services seems to suggest that windows authentication is no longer the only way of accessing AS. I'm trying to confirm whether or not it is possible to login to AS with basic authentication. If so, what are the constraints (eg is this possible only via IIS). I'd also like to find out if http access is restricted to enterprise edition only like it was in AS2000, or has the scope been widened in AS2005. Thanks, Terry. Basic authentication only works for http/https connectivity (where the username and password are passed to IIS for impersonation). For native connections (when you ...Show All

• Visual C++ Error C3767

  I've read through all I can find on C3767, and I can't figure out why I keep getting it. The error refers to a compliance issue with the c++ standard and injected friend function names into the containing namespace. But in my situation the compiler is complaining about a static function on a value class, not a friend function. My error seems very similar to the one posted back in February in this forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=288491&SiteId=1 It appears that OP never received a complete response, the thread seems to have died. In my case I have a value class that looks like this, defined in a public header f ...Show All

• SQL Server What exactly does MAX_QUEUE_READERS=0 mean?

• Visual C# Inserting images (.jpg) into SQL Express

My question is how do I go about inserting and/or updating an image in a row using C# I'm aware that the image type in SQL is simply a BLOB, but I don't know how to insert an acutal picture (.jpg) using C#.

• SQL Server Flat Files Containing Dates

  Hi everyone. I'm trying to use a Flat File Connector to read in a fixed field width file that contains some date columns. The problem is that the date column is in a CCYYMMDD format (with no delimiters) so that todays date, as an example, would be 20050711. When it attempts to import the file it fails due to a "Data Conversion Failed" error. I can't find any way to specify the format of the column in the FFC dialog so my only option appears to be read in the column as a string and transform it later. Is that correct Steve What do you mean when you say it "throws a cast exception" Have you tried en ...Show All
