• Architecture Architecture Frameworks

    How important are the architecture frameworks like "Zachman, IAF, the DYA framework and Tapscott" for software architects to study And what priority must you give them Greetings Clemens Hi Clemens, Like most things in Software Architecture - it depends :) Sometimes the business circumstances requires that you use a framework e.g. if you are working with the US DOD you may need to work with DODAF; If your company standardized on Zachman you may need to use it etc. Another reason for looking at Architecture frameworks is that they can help you get started on understanding how to tackle architecture in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Splash Screen Delay

  I'm following along in the "Build a Program NOW" tutorial and on page 100 it states that a code snippet is available to set the dealy of a splash screen. I can't find the snippet. More importantly I can't find anything on the msdn site telling how to accomplish this. This seems like an issue that would be VERY common. Why no help Can the screen be made to stay untill a condition is met - for example untill a sub has completed execution and returned a variable Thanks in advance for the help!

• .NET Development Disable Guest Account

  Does anyone know how to determine if the guest account is disabled on a remote computer on the server I was thinking I could read a registry key to do it, but I do not know if such a key exists. Below is code showing how I determine if CTRL+ALT+DEL is required to logon to the remote machine using the registry. If it is not required then I change the key to make it required. I was hoping I could do something similar for the guest account. If anyone knows of a registry key for the guest account please let me know, or if you know of another way to check the guest account on the remote computer. Thanks in advance. subkey = "Software\Microsoft\ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Formdesigner doesn't display controls

  Hi, I have a problem with the form designer in VS2005 professional. My Form holds two TabControls, one in the other (placed ond a tabPage). The one on the TabPage again has a couple of TabPages. One of them holds a SplitContainer in which I placed a ToolStrip and a DataGridView. The Problem now is, that if I click on the tabpage holding the splitcontainer the tabpage doesn't show any controls any more. If I close my project and reopen it, the controls are there again, but just for a short time. Is it something I am doing wrong, or does the Formdesigner have a problem Thanks for hints an answers.

• SQL Server Preview a Report in Design Mode (VS 2005)

  I am working with SQL Server Reporting Services and Visual Studio .Net 2005 Beta 2.  In VS 2003 you could preview a report in design mode by clicking on the preview tab.  There is no such tab in 2005 Beta 2.  Does anyone know how to preview a report in design mode   Thanks. When you are using the Report Controls in local mode (embedded), there is no preview since your application is responsible for creating the data set to bind into the control. You will need to execute your application to preview. Designer preview is only present in report server mode. ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Driven Subscription with no results

  I have a data driven subscription that is set up to email and uses a sql statement to generate the delivery settings and report parameters for each recipient (so each person does not reveive one email per row in the result set). I'm told that this is a good work around for creating a subscription that will NOT fire an email if there are no results returned, however I can not seem to get this to work...it continues to send an email with a blank report if there is no data for the previous day. Any thoughts/help would be appreciated. thanks in advance! If you want a fixed recipient list you want to do the follow ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ User Control Troubles

  I had a user control project up and running. It compiled just fine. All of a sudden it kept compiling even if there were blatent errors with the code such as a missing semicolon or random text splattered somewhere it shouldn't be. Now my *.dll file is built and I can't even use it in my main project. Does anyone have any insight into this problem Hah! I religiously cleaned it... Then I created a new project and copied/pasted my code from the header over to the new one and that compiled. So I compared the projects and you know what I guess it would help if I actually had the *.cpp file in the project so it would, ya know, compile and st ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer re-hosting and XAML only workflows

  I'd like to change the Designer Re- hosting example to cater for XAML only workflows. Can anyone give me any advice to get me going I have some custom root workflow activities (compiled) and have xaml workflows that use these, but when I attempt to load them into the example it doesn't even get off the ground because the WorkflowMarkupSerializer can't deserialize the xaml (returns null). I had added the assemblies etc. I have got a bit further by modifying the PerformLoad so that the serializer uses the IDesignerSerializationManager that is passed into it. This enables it to deserialize the XAML with my custom types that I added ...Show All
