• Smart Device Development Initiating a Dial-Up Networking Connection and VPN

  I may have missed it when going through the MSDN documentation, but I can't seem to find much information on how to make a Pocket PC 2003 Phone (VX6600 and Samsung i700) establish the default dial-up connection and then connect to the default (and only) VPN.

• Visual Studio Team System Virtual User Synchronization Point

  Is there a way to have virtual users wait at a given line of code until a certain number of users are doing so and then let all waiting user continue I want to test multiple users performing the same action at the same time with an application under load. Thanks, John Hi Ayman. Yes, that would do it. However, I would like to keep it a little more controlled than that. I need to go 6 pages deep into my site before I get to the page I want synchronous requests to occur on. Page response time could "desynchronize" the requests. I would rather not play the numbers game and dump a bunch of users on it ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Reindexing a free table in .NET

  I am responsible for a set of VFP Free Tables used for storing client information.  The front end for these tables has been created by a third party, however, the system is problematic and the index becomes corrupted on an almost daily basis. I am currently looking at a way of reindexing the tables on a nightly basis, as part of a scheduled application.  One slight snag, I'm a C# developer, not a VFP developer. I have downloaded the VFP Toolkit for .NET and can find no method for re-indexing.  I would be grateful for any advice anyone can give me regards libraries or functions availible to reindex the tables. Thanks, Kian R ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with pointing to an image!

  I am new to SQL and I am trying to have a column in my table that points to images I have stored in a directory on my system.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. new Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio(Stream)?

  1) Is there a way to play an audio file from an array in memory (or a stream) without having to save it as a file first I have all my sounds in memory and don't want to save them as separate files. 2) A long time ago (when the SDK was still beta) I noticed that my game would pause (about 1/5th of a second) whenever I started playing an MP3. I tried many things to fix this (including starting and pausing it, or pre-seeking), but nothing helped. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix that (or if it was fixed in a more recent SDK) 3) If I use AudioVideoPlayback to play Midi files, will they sound the same on all com ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Still issues using generic List as property in beta 2.2?

  I am creating a custom activity with a generic list as a property.  However, I am running into issues with this. In a code separated workflow I get an error in the designer stating "Could not deserialize object.  The type System.Collections.Generic.List x006 1' could not be resolved." The Xaml is at the end of the post.  This works fine in a compiled workflow.
