• Visual C# connection to MSDN library directly.

  How can I use the MSDN library to get a help within the code of the C# project. (e.g., using F1 key). when I am using F1 key over a word like bool I get the message : Information not found instead of getting the discription of bool keyword I am installing the MSDN libraray 2005 , but I can't get a connection to it from the project code directly. I must open it in a separate window and search it.   Ayooya - Did you install MSDN Library 2005 when you installed the VS2005   What version are you using (C# Express, etc.)   I have my settings set to online first, then loc ...Show All

• Visual J# java.util.zip.ZipFile performance problems

  I've been extremely pleased with the J# technology, however I am experiencing serious performance problems using java.util.zip.ZipFile to open large zip files.  My test is this simple:  public static void main(String[] args)     throws Exception   {     long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();     ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(args[0]);     long t2 = System.currentTimeMillis();     System.out.println("Time: " + (t2-t1) + "ms");   } Opening a large zip file (such as HotSpot's rt.jar) takes upwards of 10sec on a 3GHz dual core machine.  Running the s ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute a SSIS master package through an ASP.NET web app

  I am trying to execute a SSIS package via a web application built in c#.  I found a sample to read the output of a data flow task, but I'm stuck.  If I build the command line syntax for the package, create a DtsConnection object and set the connection string to the syntax, what else do I need to do   Thanks. Clay Well, the critical step is to create a DtsCommand whose CommandText = the name of the DataReader Destination in the package, then to execute that command to retrieve the DataReader [contents]. Does your BOL version have our topic, "Loading Data Flow Results into a Client Application " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SQL Server 2005 April CTP - Invalid SSPI Packet Size

  When I bring up SQL Server Management Studio and attempt to connect to the default database using windows authentication, I get a cannot connect error because of Invalid SSPI Packet Size.  If I try again it works.  This is causing me problems installing the application tier.  Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix this I'm seeing the SSPI packet size error in the June CTP as well.  I've observed it on two different domains.  I opened a bug in the "MSDN Product Feedback Center" (aka Ladybug) with bugid FDBK30644 to reflect that the June CTP did not fix this. If anyone else is s ...Show All

• Windows Forms Accessing the row after a call to AddNew

  I'm using VB2005.  How do I access the row created when using the new button on the Binding Navigator.  I have to add some default info into some of the columns before the EndEdit is called.  Thanks Mike You can specify default values for the DataSet column using the DataSet designer.  To do this, riight-click on the DataSet in the designer and select "Edit in DataSet Designer...".  Click on the Column of the Table you want to set the default value for and hit F4 to display the PropertyGrid - then set the "DefaultValue" property. Will this work or do you need to specify a ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble with OLEDB Data Source

  A little background first. I have a header table and a detail table in my staging area/ods. I need to join them together to flatten them out for load. The Detail Table is pretty deep - approx 100 million rows. If I use the setting (table or view) and set the table name (say, the detail table), the package starts up nicely. But if I switch the OLE DB Source to using a SQL Statement and then join the tables in the SQL, then the Pre-Execute phase of the package takes a VERY long time. I have waited as long as 30 minutes for this phase to complete, but it never finished. Another twist...If I take the join select statement out of the OLEDB ...Show All

• Windows Forms Object Disposed Exception Experienced When Re-opening Forms

  I hoping that someone might be able to help me with a problem I can't get figured out.  Let me described the issue: I'm developing an application that has a main menu (actually a form) that opens multiple forms via buttons on the form itself.  I have no problems opening a form from the main menu and closing them.  However, if I try to re-open a form from the main menu that I have already opened and closed, an "ObjectDisposedException" is thrown saying it can't re-open an already disposed object.  I believe this to be an issue with the garbage collection, but I can't seem to find the right information to get this corr ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Sort Order

  I have a invoice reprint report that I'm using to reproduce invoices for a group of customers. The Stored Procedure sorts the raw data according to the Customer's name, but when the report comes up the results are not sorted. Any ideas what I can do to correct this David Arrrgh.  Quite possibly the worst user interface design imaginable for getting to that properties dialog. So, what's one to do when it just doesn't work I have an Analysis Services resultset in a table.  One of the columns is "Age", and I've selected Field!Age.Value as the "Sort on" value.  Problem is, it's sorting on ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. PICKING OBJECTS by MOUSE doesnt work correctly

  Hello, I'm making a 3D game and I need to implement PICKING. But I've done everything as it is in the book and was also comparing code line by line with tutorial from other source http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/picking.html and it doesn't work correctly - the picking RAY is somehow translated upper than it should be. I can click on the object a bit lower than it already is and i cannot click on it from the top, but a bit lower. Also I checked a sample from that book and I found out it does the same for it too. So pls, could you look at it: http://www.moon-labs.com/ml_book_samples.htm download - Download Part III Sampl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Security, Groups, and Users To Global or to Project set levels

  In setting up Team Foundation Server security, groups, and users can be added globally or by project, but they hace different access rights. I am unsure as to what would be the best policy when setting up TFS. My Thought is to create Global Groups based on Roles eg: Developer, Tester, BA etc. then enter global security then add Project groups that are members of the global groups then add the users to the groups. Or am I making iot too complicated and just go in at the project level. If I go in at the project level only what about other security rights at the global level. An example of a good policy would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't get images to show on toolbar

  Hi all, I've developed my first Pocket PC app and I'm having a problem with a toollbar button images. I created an Imagelist and loaded the images, which are in a subdirectory of the source code directory I have the app in. This worked fine and I could see the images represented in the Images Collection window. Then I add the toolbar to the form and set the toolbars Imagelist property to the imagelist I added to the form. Then the first odd thing happens. I go into the toolbar's Button Collection window to add buttons. As I add the buttons and drop down the list of available buttons, I notice that the images are not showing there. The ind ...Show All
