.NET Development list of files from another web server?
Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve a list of files given a specific url from another web server I know I could use the FTP classes in .NET 2.0 but this is for .NET 1.1. I also know I could have used the http web request classes however that will not work. I get a 501 error (Not implemented error) the running server will have .NET 1.1 but as for the files, such as images etc... it will be stored on another server somewhere else, not running .NET unfortunatly. Thanks! Hi! There isn't a direct way of doing this, but one interesting way could be to write a webservice that you r ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Help! Want to create basic user input form tied to database in VWD
Hello everybody. I have used VWD (Visual Web Developper) for the past few weeks and love it so far. As a inexperienced ASP.NET developper, I have run into difficulties when trying to design user web form input to populate a database. Indeed, the medical unit I'm working at whishes to create a webpage with simple user forms ( checkboxes, textboxes) - to keep track of patients medical records - that will then fill a database (SQL preferred). Should the page have an .aspx or .ascx extension Do I need to create a dataset I've consulted the online help but I'm still confused and don't know how to proceed. I'm sure there should be a wiza ...Show All
SQL Server connection error

.NET Development WSE3 web service only works on development machine
I have a WSE3 enabled web service which only runs on my development machine and not on my production web server. I use a usernameForCertificate assertion, a custom X509TokenProvider (because I don't have rights to install certificates in the certificate stores on the server) and a custom UsernameTokenManager (because I want to use the ASP.NET MemberShipProvider to manage my users). All of this works fine on the development machine, but I get strange exceptions on the production server. The response I get from the server is: <inputMessage utc="23.01.2006 19:49:41" messageId="urn:uuid:8e1e61bd-5e84-4c82-aba1-b5fb ...Show All

Visual C++ LNK1112 module machine type x64 conflicts with target machine type x86
I am using VS2005 for 64bit platform. And I have also MPIPro 1.7 (32bit). If I run some example from mpipro sample folder through "debug->run without debugging", it works perfectly. If I run it through "build->build" and then "debug->run without debugging", it works. But if I try to use "build->REBUILD" this program DOES NOT WORK and error such as "LNK1112 module machine type x64 conflicts with target machine type x86" arises!!! And after that whatever I do, it does not work. What should it do to force this program run P.S.Before first launch there were "target machine x86" in the "Linker->advanced"&nbs ...Show All
Windows Live Developer Forums Trackback spam editor
I have been using spaces for a while and although it is painfully slow I really like its functionality and appearance. However, trackback spam is driving me nuts and I have had to turn it off. The MSN Spaces way of removing trackbacks, one at a time and a 15 second delay between each, is not very friendly. I have been thinking about creating a simple application that removes trackback spam, but to my surprise the API for MSN spaces is disappointingly basic and it does not seem possible to interact with the trackbacks. I assume Microsoft is working on extending the API, any idea when the functionality my application requires ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. the view matrix
should i treat the view matrix as any other matrix say i want the viewer to take a tour along my scene. Can I transform the view matrix as i would in the world matrix are there any "special" methods for it e.g. device.Transform.view.lookAt(somePoint) The view matrix is just a matrix, so it's not really any more expensive to create than any other matrix. When you set a new View matrix, D3D does some internal calculations so there is overheard in setting a new View matrix. Typically the overhead isn't that bad and managing your camera through the View matrix is very convenient. ...Show All
SQL Server Group by Date
Hi all, Firstly: I'm a newbie when it comes to reporting services (previously used to Crystal reports). This is probably going to appear as a stupid question but here goes. How do i group on a date time field. I have set up a report with a table and as my group i have selected my datetime field [code] =Fields!WeekBegin.Value [/code] When i group on this field each record still seems to have its own grouping even though all entries in my test database have the same date. I have noticed that the seconds don't match up on some entries and believe that this may have something to do with it. There are however still duplicates ...Show All
SQL Server Native Client connection to MSSQL 2000
For MARS support in SQL Server 2005, I'm changing our OLE DB code to use Native Client. My understanding is that Native Client should support SQL Server 2000 as well. When I point my DBPROP_INIT_DATASOURCE to a 2005 instance, everything works great. But when I point to a 2000 instance, the IDBInitialize->Initialize() call is crashing with a bounds violation. In my test case, the only change I made was in my coCreateInstance from this: ::CoCreateInstance(DBIO_CLSID_SQLOLEDB, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IDBInitialize, ( void **)&m_handles.pIDBInitialize); to this: ::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SQLNCLI, NULL, CLSCTX_I ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office Copying contacts
Hi This is probably not the correct forum, if so could you point me in the right direction. I am trying to copy contacts from one public folder to another. I don't want to use vsto as I will eventually make it a service on the exchange server that will run each day. I have added CDO 1.21 as a reference and can access two folders and see their properties. But I can't access the contact items themselves to copy them. Sample code below ' connect Dim servername As String = "server.local" Dim mailbox As String = "mailbox" Dim objSession As New MAPI.Session '= CreateObject("MAP ...Show All
