• Smart Device Development Pocket Office on emulator

  Am I correct to say that there is no Pocket Office on the emulators (I tried the smartphone SDK, haven't tried the Mobile 5.0 SDK) Can Pocket Office be installed on the emulator and how Well the other solutions that have been available are not a robust as the option in Pocket Word. The has been one of the most useful features in Pocket Word and removing that feature from Word Mobile is a bone-headed decision. You could have actually made the Pocket PC inking translate into WordArt drawing on the desktop. I will NOT purchase a device that will not have the drawing capability directly inside Word Mobile. It has been a good run, but I gu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and windows workgroup - work items database problem

  Hi, I have succesfully installed TFS on Server 2003. This is a small installation so I am using the TFS Workgroup Edition from MSDN and Windows Workgroups rather than AD. On the Server I installed Team Explorer and can create projects ok and see all items in the explorer. My problem is on the client. On the Client PC if I open up a team project created on the server using Team Explorer all folders under the team project have red crosses. I added the client workgroup user to the report server and to sharepoint, which removed the red crosses from the Documents and Reports folders but the Work items folder has a red cross next to it.

• .NET Development How to implement transactions using tableadapters?

  The old dataadapter had a transaction object which you could assign to a .NET SQLtransaction. This made transaction handling very simple. What is the equivalent (or similar) method for handling transactions using tableadapters I'm using the table adapters generated by the data designer. dataadapter has no transaction property which can be assigned to a sqltransaction. You could use System.Transactions.TransactionScope to simplify the transaction handling if you have only one conneciton opened. ...Show All

• SQL Server Two ways to view member values

  Hi, I'm working on a SSAS 2005 project where I migrate an EXCEL pivot table based on a flat file (coming from an Oracle source). The previous implementation had most of the members defined twice, first by description and code and second by code and description, where code is the key of each customer. In the flat file, for each level with the need for "dual view support", there are 2 columns, having the same data but in different format. So, for example - just for illustration - someone could set the rows to be Customer1 (1234) Customer2 (4553) Customer3 (3573) etc where, someone else (1234) Customer1 (4553) Customer2 (357 ...Show All

• SQL Server The syntax of the SQL the DataSet Design Surface generates

  I'd like to design my dataset's in VS2005 in such a way that I develop at design-time using SQL2005, however I'll have the option of replacing the connection, sqladapter and command objects in the generated source code with another database's (like mysql, etc.) Since the schemas are identical across the different database kinds, the key here is making sure that the generated SQL is ANSI compliant.  Right off the bat the square brackets around table names cause problems.  Is there anyway to tell VS2005 to use the ANSI compliant quotes instead Thanks I am trying to find out your current email address ...Show All

• Visual C++ Changed the COM signatures....using ildasm.....

  Hi, I have a .exe COM which I used in .NET but some signatures got changed....so I opened it with ildasm and changed the signatures so that it should return something from the function....This is the error I'm getting now.... The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x79e8aff6, on thread 0xb4. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack. Any Ideas.... Thanks, Harsimrat ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't Get the Form to appear

     I have a program that I am working on. I have run into this problem countless times and it is strange to me that it works sometimes and other times does not.    I have created an application using Visual C++ .NET 2003 standard. Here is an example of the situation. I add a new form called aboutDialog. Set the form properties. In another form I add the #include "aboutDialog.h" In the code I have the following:    aboutDialog *about = new aboutDialog();    about->ShowDialog();    The compiler is failing to compile and giving a C2061, and C2065 error code.
