• Windows Live Developer Forums general Messenger activity SDK question

  All: I've noticed that there is an event in the activity SDK that allows the IM message to be captured when it is received (Channel_OnIMReceived).  I am curious to know if there is a corresponding event that fires when a message is sent.  The reason I ask is because I would like my activity to pull the message text from the messenger chat window, manipulate it and then send a modified version of the message.  I realize that I can ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing sys.syslockinfo from an application role

  In SQL Server 2005, you must have the VIEW SERVER STATE permission in order to access sys.syslockinfo ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189497 ). It seems that the VIEW SERVER STATE permission can only be granted to users. Once you execute sp_setapprole, the connection loses the permissions of the user and assumes the permissions of the application role ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190998 ). So, how can I ac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FXCOP

  Can anybody tell me the new function for ISMEthodCall() in older version Thanks We actually have a cyclomatic complexity rule that will ship in VS 2005 Team System.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [bug] wcf hangs indefinitely on complex type when returning (worked on feb ctp)

  In the may beta 2 release, I can no longer return some of my domain types. Something I could do perfectly with the feb. ctp. My domain model is decorated with the correct datacontract and datamember attributes. In it I have a 'Person' which inherits from a base class. In that baseclass I have a private bool. This class serializes and deserializes great. However, when I use some other domain object, which has a property of type 'Person', the s ...Show All

  The device emulator seems to think that the smart device has run completely out of battery power. This is pretty annoying, especially with programs that check the battery state and change their UI accordingly.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX vs. WPF

  A friend of mine said that Avalon was dropped off and renamed to DirectX 10. Based on the theZBuffer.com, there is no DX10, and from what I know, Avalon has been renamed to WPF. So what's the connection between Avalon, WPF, and DirectX (10 ) Are they sharing the same code, or one's just using another's API Thanks! You are right that Avalon was the codename for WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). WPF use Direct3D 9 to render ...Show All
