• Software Development for Windows Vista The Right Way to Install Vista

  Hi all. I've been reading up on all the latest threads relating to problems installing Vista on various machines and setups. I had initially come to the same problems as some of you had ie. blank DVD. After a while of determination, I was led to a program available online for free, ImgBurn, currently v1.3.0.0 that I used to burn my ISO onto DVD. Direct link to download page- http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/imgburn.cfm I installed this program after checking it out of course, and left all the settings alone except for the speed, which was set to 2x as per Microsoft recommends. I decided to go the more drastic r ...Show All

• Windows Forms OptimizedDoubleBuffer

  I heard somewhere that by setting ControlStyle.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, you automatically have ControlStyle.UserPaint and ControlStyle.AllPaintingInWmPaint set as well. Is this true The API is unfortunate, but it is a ControlStyle which affects a minority of users. Typically, we'd suggest Control.DoubleBuffered. Marking Obsolete is akin to ripping it - we generate build warnings for every project where it's being used. It's just plain too late for the change and we'll have to rely on the docs to explain i ...Show All

• SQL Server Access to SQLServer Database from Visual C# app and ASP.NET app

  I've created a visual C# GUI that logs data over a LAN.  The GUI is for Admin purposes only so it logs data and stores it (plus some admin stuff).  The data that is logged is supposed to be served up to anyone on the network as a web app.  I've got an instance of SQLServer running and the GUI works great but I can't seem to get the web app to connect to the database to read and display the data for general users I'm new to ASP.NET and SQL Server so a little extra explanation or steps that I'm missing wouldn't hurt me if you have the time to spare. I get an error that says "Cannot get web application service"  in Vi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Installing WWF beta 2 on 64bit Windows XP

  I'm getting the following message when trying to install WWF beta 2 on 64bit Windows. Max only runs on Windows XP Service Pack 2. You can install Service Pack 2 from Windows Update. This version of Windows includes many useful security features (besides Max compatibility). Any ideas Thanks, Phillip Very Interesting. I do not have Max installed but I believe I tried to install it some time ago (it doesn't run on 64bit windows). So I ended up moving the WWF Beta 2 installer to another directory on my machine and it works (by default I have everything I download go into the same directory). I guess there is s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem Using Source Control with VS.Net 2003 Professional

  I am writing my own Source Control provider which supports the MS SCC API. It works perfectly when I connect from PowerBuilder which is my primary programming tool. Now I want to test it against VS.Net 2003. I have never used VS.Net 2003 before so I opened the VB.Net sample called 'Calc'. I select the menu option 'Add Solution to Source Control' and get this error message:  There was an error while initializing the WizSource SCM source control provider. You cannot use this provider to perform source control operations. There must be some quirk or hidden configuration to allow it to connect to something other than VSS. I have entered a ...Show All

• SQL Server How to Delete Files on Maintenance Plan

  Hello, I am creating a Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2005. The 'Back Up Database Task' has the choice 'Create a sub-directory for each database' as SQL Server 2000 does. But when I add a 'Maintenance Cleanup Task' I do not see a choice to delete files on subdirectories. Looks like it only deletes the files from the directory I specify. So, looks like SQL Server 2005 is removing some functionality already available in SQL Server 2000. Is there a way to delete those files without needing to specify each directory I do not see any documentarion about xp_delete_file either. Thanks, Ben Nevarez I am ...Show All

• .NET Development Why is System.Net not available in my add reference list?

  Subject pretty much says it all. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C# Express. I went to add a reference to System.Net and System.Net.Sockets, but they simply aren't there. I tried reinstalling/repairing the SDK, but to no avail. I can't find any reference to this problem by googling it. I'm completely confused as to why this namespace isn't present. All work is halted until this issue is solved, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jason Catalyst OMG, I'm a retard. The example I was following said TCPClient, but it's TcpClient. Lesson learned... check spelling, then check case. :/ ...Show All
