• Visual Studio Unable to Debug Stored Proc in Visual Studio

  I'm unable to activate debug on any stored procs in Visual Studio 2005. I'm doing the following: Establish a connection to the database in Server Explorer. Navigate to the Stored Proc, double-click it to open it. Right-click the Stored Proc's name gives me several options but they don't include "Step Into.." When I click into the procedure code pane a Debug Menu item appears on the Menu bar but all it contains is one greyed out item "Toggle Breakpoint F9". If I open the Debug Toolbar, all the icons are greyed out. Am I missing something here Jim I've got the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do change the custom rules of FxCop1.312 to v1.32

  Hi  Can yuo pls give me some sample custom rules of FxCop 1.32 and some ideas about how to modify the custom rules of FxCop 1.312 to work in FxCop 1.32 Thanks in advance, Arun M As mentioned by others, this information is found in the 1.32 readme.

  Ok. I am a beginner C# programmer. I am having a problem that I need solved. What I want is to be able to upload a media file to my SQL server. And then have a user of my program play the file, whether she is in New York, or canada. How would I get the accomplished Assuming you are on SQL Server 2005. What you may want to look at is varbinary(max) datatype and how to use it. Check appropriate Books Online topics. Then you probably want to read about ASP.NET and create a web-service or an application to deliver the files you have uploaded to your users.

• Visual FoxPro n-tier design

  I am designing an application and I want to start using n-tier design. I have no problem with the user interface but have some questions about the business and data tiers. My application will probably be all in one vfp exe so I don't particularly have to get into ADO or XML. Am I correct in assuming the actual data reading and writing statements (eg Replace, Insert etc) go into the data tier I am thinking that I would need some sort of data handling class at this tier and a class for each table/entity (customer, transaction etc). Each entity would have a property with the name of the table's fields and the data handling class would then use ...Show All

• Smart Device Development 64-bit file support in CE 5.0?

  Hi,    Please forgive & redirect me if I'm in the wrong forum.  I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there is 64-bit file support in Windows CE 5.0.  The CFile::Seek() call takes a LONG value, and SetFilePointer() has a DistanceToMoveHigh value but it's not currently supported according to the docs.    Is there ANOTHER File I/O interface for CE 5.0 which supports 64-bit files, or is there a way to get either of the above methods to work   Thanks in advance. Allan Stirrett. Hi Allan, Regardless of the storage/filesystem, WinCE5.0 provides file acces ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to save a part of dialogbox (for example Rect(10,10,40,40) ) in to a Image?

  Hi. I want to save a part of dialogbox (for example Rect(10,10,40,40) ) in to a Image. what should I do thank for your help. This question is better asked in the Win32 newsgroups as this forum relates to the Visual C++ development tools.  But I believe the answer involves getting the device context for the screen (GetDC(NULL)), and copying the contents a DC to a compatible bitmap (see example for the CreateCompatibleBitmap API in MSDN). Remember to convert the dialog client coordinates to screen coordinates. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Media Compression support

  By supporting the next wave of high performance media, won't there be a need for a new way to compress video/audio streams Our current system is flawed, rendering entire videos into raw streams would require vast amounts of hard drive capacity. I propose a solution to the media storage problem. Given that Media currently is stored in a playable format, meaning you can click it and instantly start playing it in media player, or whatever player you use, why not develop a simple system for storing this content when not in use. Let's get technical, and talk a little bit of math. Let's say you transcode (hexdump) an entire video to a tex ...Show All
