• Visual Studio AddNamedCommand still not working?

  We are using AddNamedCommand to add commands to our command bar.  This is running fine in 2003.  It did not work in Beta 2 -- another person iquired about this and was told it was a known issue (see: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=4221 ). Has this been corrected in the RTM for VS 2005   I have tried it and still get a failure when calling AddNamedCommand. Thanks I have puzzled through and found that VS 2005 does not like the 0 value for the CommandDisableFlags.  When I use 3 (1+2) it works.   Not so consistent -- especially for a parameter marked as op ...Show All

• SQL Server Task Expression Evalutation Time

  I have designed a package whose first step initializes several variables .  Other steps in the package have expressions based on those variables. Example Expression for MyTask:    PropertyName = "Disable"    Expression = "@DoMyTask" Given this example MyTask will be enabled/disabled solely based on the value of @DoMyTask at the time the package execution begins.  Changing the value of @DoMyTask prior to the normal execution of MyTask has no effect . My conclusion is that the expression is not being evaluated late enough.  Any help   DarrenSQ ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista .icl files not supported by build 5308?

  Hi there, build 5308 does not recognize .icl (Icon Libraries) as files storing icons ... whenever I open an .icl file I get a message saying that the files does not contain any icons.

I've released version 6.0.2 last week and now it s ...Show All

• SQL Server Configuration File for Multiple Packages

  In my solution I have multiple .dtsx packages that read data in from a flat file and load it into a database.  Each package reads data from a different flat file so I have to have a different connection in each package that points to the file that package is going to process.  For instance, one package is for processing an Orders file so it has a connection to  c:\orderheader.txt.  Another package processes customers so it looks for c:\customers.txt.  Is it possible to have one configuration file for this or do I have to make a configuration file for each package   I knwo that I can reuse a config file from ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't access Network drive in Window Service

  Any other way to access network drive or mapped folder in a window service which is NOt running under a Domain user account who has privilege on that folder. any idea thanks in advance Hi, I think the recommended way is to allow the service account to have access to that folder. To do that in code, I can only think of impersonation. Take a look at this article with sample code: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5z4b2h41(en-US,VS.80).aspx Best regards, ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WMP 10 MOBILE CAN'T UPDATE MEDIA LIBRARY FROM EMULATOR STORAGE CARD

  In VS2005BETA2 and Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator, I've ported the sample C# application from the WMP10 SDK.  The application presents a list of media it gets from the Media Library for the user to select and play. The application runs fine if the media resides in the emulator file system, e.g., My Documents\My Music, and I use the Emulator's Windows Media Player to update the library. However, if I configure the Emulator's Storage Card to a virtual directory, FILE --> CONFIGURE --> GENERAL (TAB) --> SHARED FOLDER, and I place the media in the shared folder instead, the Windows Media Player Library Update function repl ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh Intersect Confusion

  EDIT: Let me make my question simpler: How do I shoot a ray (using the Intersect function) from one mesh to another mesh Original Post: I recently found out that the Mesh.Intersect function requires you to transform the ray by the inverse of the Mesh's matrix.  I can kinda understand how this works with picking, but, I am trying to shoot a ray from one mesh to another with an arbitrary direction.  Now I'm dealing with TWO matrices, not just one. Right now I am taking a point from the "source" mesh, transforming it by the inverse of the "destination" mesh's matrix minus the "source" mesh, then calling the "destination" mesh ...Show All
