• Software Development for Windows Vista Media Foundation docs fail to display

  When trying to access the Media Foundation docs in the SDK help all you get is a bunch of script errors and no content. The online version of the SDK docs still seem to be for the Sep CTP release and there is no documentation entry for Media Foundation. Is there a way to fix the script errors in the SDK help Or at least bring the online versions up to date with the Dec CTP release and have those work without script errors Or do we have ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing connection managers to subpackages.

  Is there a recommended way to pass the connection managers from the parent package to the subpackages I also noticed that the subpackages can't reference the same configuration file as I get error messages when I try to build the solution. After I changed the configuration file for each subpackage it worked just fine. Did I miss something or is this intended to work this way thanks This falls into what I said: ...Show All

• Visual Basic Update SQLdataBase w/ VB 2005 Beta2

  When using VB.Net 2003 updating a database is fairly straightforward. You drag the table onto the form, a sqlConnection & sqlDataAdaptor are automatically generated. You then configure these objects and then generate and configure a data set. All that's left is to write the code for the update. In VB 2005 it doesn't like it if you try to drag a table. I have tried using the Add Data Source ,configuring, and coding an update statement. I can ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Standard versus Project Pro

  My IS Support team removed Project Pro and installed Project Standard on my VS Team client workstation which interfaces to TFS. I have a Universal MSDN contract which includes Project Pro. The statement from IS is as follows: "After a lot of research with Microsoft, I have learned that the only benefit of using MS Project 2003 Pro is to interact with MS Project Server. Microsoft confirms that there is no benefit of using Project 2003 P ...Show All

• Visual C# how to edit a classic asp page using vs 2005 and pws

  Hi. Fortunately vs 2005 have pws instead of iis, greatly increasing some security aspects (having a web server always on at our desktops is something that worries every CSO), but I'm having some problems to run even the simplest classic asp pages, a helloworld page returns... Server Error in '/WebSite1' Application. I don't think this is possible. ASP pages are handled by a very different engine (C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\asp.dll) than ASP ...Show All

  Hi, I am currently using BindingSource and BindingNavigator in a form. Before the user can move to the next record the application must check a few things to make sure the the user has completed the record they are currently working. It seems that once the user clicks on the move next button there is no way to stop it from going to the next record. I have looked at the ErrorProvider but it looks like it checks one control at a time. I am l ...Show All

  I am working on a VB.NET application that can take a computer name and connect to that computer over the server and check several of the local security policies and create a log of what policies are incorrectly set.  In a nutshell, it is an automated way of going through a security checklist rather than manually looking at each policy at each computer.  I am currently trying to read the "Audit Policies" such as "Audit Policy Chang ...Show All
