• Smart Device Development Custom WinCE 5.0 and VS 2005 Beta2. Connection question.

  So, I have a custom board and windows ce 5.0 built to our needs. I have active sync built into the image. Now, comes the problem. VS 2005 Beta2 asks for an tcp/ip (transport) and to have activesync (bootstrapper). Then I try to connect and get "Connection failed. The current version of ActiveSync is not supported. Install the latest version from www.microsoft.com.". Well, I got activesync 3.8. That is the latest I found.

• Visual Basic Pivot tables & custom reports in Visual Studio 2003

  Hi, I'm trying to save the layout of a pivot table in order to retrieve it later and restore its layout so that the users can save their own reports and then load them again. I'm working on VB.NET 2003 and the problem is when I try to assign the XMLData to the object. After writing the XMLData to the object the pivot table shows an error message that says "Cannot process the query:  - Cannot Initialize Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services  - Property name was not recognized, 'EXTENDED PROPERTIES'" First thought it was because the XML I was trying to assign was invalid, but the same happens when I do something as stupid as: sXMLTa ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unmanaged / Managed Code Integration

  I know for alot of us developers it would be nice to have a forum for integration between legacy c++ code and new managed c#. Or vice-versa (calling managed code with legacy code)....... Good idea If you are looking for more information on C++/CLI, I put together a list of resources back in January at: http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/jhaley/archive/2005/01/18/45686.aspx Unless you are looking at production code right now, I wouldn't suggest using the current version of the __mangaged extensions (but if you have to, you have to).  There is A LOT of new stuff in C++/CLI.

  Could anybody tell me whether it's true that we can't make a MessageBox in the center of its parent (instead of the screen) using pure managed code! It's really frustrating that I need to make some windows API calls in order to to do that. Well, you have to use API (MessageBox API) to display a MessageBox that is not in the center of the screen, I mean, I'm not aware of any pure managed way to do this. Hope this helps, -chris ...Show All
