• SQL Server KB913580 related problem

  I hope this is posted in the correct forum. I have Linked Servers that are used to query Access databases that reside on a file server. This has been working for a long time, until I applied KB913580 which references the Distributed Transaction Controller. I am running SQL Server 2000 on the same desktop (development environment) from which I am accessing the Linked Server. The file server is on the same LAN segment – there is no firewall involved. I uninstalled the update and rebooted but still getting the error: OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: The ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CameraCaptureDialog Issues

  I've been having some issues using the CameraCaptureDialog class on an HTC Apache device (rebranded as the UTstarcom 6700): 1. After exiting my application, the device's camera capture screen comes into focus. This happens whether I dispose of the class instance or not, and the Close() method is protected, so I can't call that. Any ideas on getting rid of this lingering capture screen 2. On a seemingly random, intermittent basis, an InvalidOperationException will be thrown from within the ShowDialog() method. Sometimes this will happen after taking 4 or 5 photos, but other times it will work fine for 40 or 50 photos before I give up trying ...Show All

• Windows Forms Properly drawing C# user controls?

  [Ported from a post in the C# forum by Moogy...] I have created two usercontrols; one is a panel that has a gradient background, and another is a 'header' control that merges icon and border graphics - they look great. The problem is the order of painting.  Right now, when the control is resized, I get a nasty flicker with my 'Header" control (not the panel control).  I am curious, what's the best way to properly process the painting of user controls in VS 2005 and C#   It's been awhile since I've done this... Thanks! You can turn on double-buffering: DoubleBuffered =  true ; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Enable toolbox items with tool window

  Hi, I understand that toolbox items are enabled/disabled by implementing IVsToolboxUser on a the document view on a designer. Is it possible to enable/disable toolbox items using a tool window or can this only be done with a true document (editor) window Thanks, Notre This is answered in a MSDN Visual Studio extensibility newsgroup post: It will "only [work] for document windows. The toolbox would ignore all UI selection contexts except SEID_DocumentFrame" ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista support fade in/out in owner drawn button [DrawThemeBackground(BP_PUSHBUTTON)]

  I have an owner drawn push button. How can I support the fade in/out hoover effect in Vista. Currently I'm using DrawThemeBackground(BP_PUSHBUTTON,PBS_HOT) to create the hoover effect. But this effect is abrupt. It doesn't fade out like in original controls if the mouse leaves the control. Steffen Hi Steffen, Owner draw push buttons do not support the new Vista push button fade effects.  When you receive a WM_DRAWITEM to draw your button, you have full control over how you want to paint, and as a result there is no way for the button to apply meaningful fade effects at appropriate times. In beta 2 we may introduce some n ...Show All

• SQL Server Pictures not displaying

  I tried to search for this but couldnt get a satisfactory solution.. We have pictures stored in a table as BLOB files. When I try to display them through RS it just shows 'X' in that field... Any help is appreciated.. I have tried setting MIME type to JPG and doesn't work either. These images are stored in the SQL server as image (BLOB) files. The user just right clicks an image on his computer, select copy and then clicks paste in the ACCESS field to paste the image. This is how it gets to the SQL database. They have been doing this to jpeg files. As I said b4, I tried this with a bmp file ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Run deployment issue: directory is not trusted.

  Hi all, I have an application which uses a DLL from our network drive M:\VS2005. Build works fine, but when I call the Testproject it always aborts with this error message: Failed to Queue Test Run ... with id ...: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestManagement.ExecutionException: Test Run deployment issue: The location of the file or directory 'M:\VS2005\MyDLL.dll' is not trusted.

• Visual FoxPro DO FORM does not work in exec (for me)

  I have close to 50 clauses, it turns out, DO FORM in my application. They all work perfectly well in interactive mode with the browser but do not work at all in exec after I built it. By "do not work" I mean that I do not even get an error message. Those statements are completely ignored. What I've done so far is trying to find a formula under which I could call outside forms. As I mentioned, when a statement DO FORM <formName> is placed inside a method it does not work. I tried to place them in a prg file--the same negative effect. Or rather no effect. The next trick was to invoke a form in my startup (main) prg file a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Outlook 2003 Clone - Owner Drawn background Color problem

  Hi All, I am writing some prototypes for our new product line, and have sampled parts of the Outlook 2003 Clone application. The part im having trouble with is the folderView control. I created a new control in my project (workspaceView) which mimics the folder view but i load my tree nodes at runtime. The ' DrawAnnotatedText' method gets called as it should do, so that some of the nodes are bold when the count is > 0, but when i click on the bold node, the background highlighthing color does not highlight all of the node text. Its always about 10 pixels short. The link below shows an image with a highlighted node that should read ...Show All

• Visual Studio FPSE Version Number question

  All: Having recently installed W2K3Server SP1 (32-bit), I've have noticed that our FrontPage Extended Webs now report that they are running version 5.0.2.6738. According to the FPSE website from Microsoft, the following holds true: 5.0.2.6738 The version of FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for Windows x64 editions only. (emphasis mine). Now, this tells me that my 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003 SP1 is running a 64-bit version of FPSE, which obviously can't be right, as surely you couldn't even run a 64-bit installer/executables on a 32-bit host. Soooo...does that mean a) The 32-bit versions have now b ...Show All
